It had been a really long time since my last viewing of this film. My parents rented it before I had the sense to know what good movies were and I just happened to come in on them watching it and decided to stick around. I have to say, bottom line, it's pretty clearly the greatest and best-executed concept film of all time.
I've never seen a film where the viewers are so wrapped up in the protagonist's feelings of confusion and disillusionment. This is probably the most accurate depiction and portrayal of a character's thought processes. I still have yet to fully understand it, and although I greatly respect it at this point, I don't quite find myself actually liking it yet, so it deserves a rewatch sometime very soon.
Seeing this film also makes me wonder how Christopher Nolan could turn out to be such a bust. This fantastic piece of cinema only 5-6 years ago and the only things he's turned out since then are a mediocre Pacino thriller and crappy Batman movie. Where'd all the wonderful, psychological noir shit go?
