The peacemaker movie

Sheila Gamble As much as I love Mark Wahlberg, he overacts and tries to hard to be funny here if you want to see Mark Wahlberg being naturally funny see I Heart Huckabees That Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson are only in the film for a little When something can be read without effort, great effort has gone into its writing Enrique Jardiel Poncela If you can t explain it simply, you don t understand it well enough Albert Einstein The three quotes above arent just essential to great works or art, but to life as well, if only Christopher Nolan read them before he made Inception. Inception isnt a bad film. Its competently directed, has a good musical score that isnt over-played, is ambitious and has some nice scenes. Inception is also unnecessarily convoluted if you understand everything thats going on within the first 10 minutes, you are one smart person with overwrought dialogue that has the characters explain everything they are doing. Inception doesnt start off well and actually gets better as it goes along. Inception has been hailed as this years Matrix and its similar in that movie in many waysits pseudo philosophical philosophy for the sake of philosophy does not a philosopher make, plays with gravity people walking upside down, cars driving vertically, buildings circling around itself and deals with dreams vs. reality. Christopher Nolan is a director who seems to believe that the more complex something is the smarter and more meaningful it is. As Dom Cobb Leonardo DiCaprio in brooding mode says, The stronger the issues, the more powerful the catharsis. Dom looks like Christopher Nolan himself and seems to be partly auto-biographical. Dom hires Ariadne, an architect played by Ellen Page to enter into a persons dream and construct a world that seems to be reflect reality somewhat so the person isnt aware they are dreaming. Cob asks Ariadne to draw a maze that takes two minutes to make and one minute to solve. Cob keeps solving Ariadnes mazes in a matter of seconds and asks her to keep drawing the peacemaker movie models until it takes him a minute to solve the puzzle. Ariadne finally constructs a maze so complicated the audience doesnt see Cob solve it. This scene seems to echo Christopher Nolans view of filmmakingit must be hard to solve for it to be worth doing. If only Christopher Nolan knew what smart works of art really are. Inception has moments of entertainment. The scene of a building rising from the ground and folding over itself while the camera follows the building and moves in the same direction is a neat trick. The scene that shows the origin of why Cobb decides to enter a persons dream to either remove an idea of plant one is a powerful moment. Unfortunately, the pedantic and clamorous dialogue, the pretentiousness, and the almost non-existing acting expect for Leonardo DiCaprio make Inception intercepting Christopher Nolans themes the peacemaker movie ideas instead of making Inception interesting. Palindromes is a Minnepian Satire, much like Jonathan Swift s Gulliver s Travels. The reason for having so many actors of different race, color, and creed play the same character is to show that what Aviva is going through and the way she acts isn t unique, but that we are all like her. Palindromes is about how no matter what you believe in, people act similar to even people who believe in the opposing beliefs. There is a scene in Palindromes, when the anti-abortion mother forces Aviva to kill the baby.
