The Last Time Hollywood Trusted an Original Idea

You've seen Inception. You've argued about the ending. You've drawn the dream levels on a napkin for someone who hadn't. And the whole time, the film was keeping secrets from you. The first letters of the main characters spell out the theme of the movie. The team is the crew of a film shoot, with Cobb as the director and Fischer, the target, sitting exactly where you are: in the audience, having an idea planted. The song they use to wake up runs exactly two minutes and twenty-eight seconds, and that number is no accident. And the ending. The one Nolan has refused to explain for over a decade? Michael Caine answered it years ago, in a single sentence, without realizing he had. This is the story of how Christopher Nolan spent ten years, and all the trust he earned from The Dark Knight, to build the most elaborate magic trick of his career. A hundred-foot hallway spinning on steel rings. A freight train tearing through downtown LA. An avalanche on cue. Almost all of it real. You've watched Inception. Now watch what Nolan hid inside it.
