Hooray for Hollywood - Sam Flomenhoft

Christopher Nolan is an acclaimed director with many famous movies to his name. Two of the biggest are Interstellar and Inception, both very trippy movies. One striking similarity between the two movies is I left the theater understanding less than when I entered and entered a continued state of mind blownness that lasted for weeks. I would not recommend watching these movies back to back just out of fear of forgetting everything you ever knew and having all logic turned upside down. In reference to director choices both movies also share similar qualities, such as the wide shot during action scenes and close shots during emotional moments. Both also use anti gravity and extreme use of computer generated images considering both are future concepts. Both were fantastic movies that I do recommend your viewing of at some point, just not back to back. Also, prepare to feel weird during and after trying to grasp what exactly you just experienced. After finally orienting yourself, due to your lack of understanding of the movie you will decide it must have been good and recommend it to others as well. If you have not yet seen either of these films, make plans to (safely) as soon as possible.
