Film: Inception (2010)
Director: Christopher Nolan
Synopsis: Dom Cobb is a thief with the rare ability to enter people’s dreams and steal their secrets from their subconscious. His skill has made him a hot commodity in the world of corporate espionage but has also cost him everything he loves. Cobb gets a chance at redemption when he is offered a seemingly impossible task: Plant an idea in someone’s mind. If he succeeds, it will be the perfect crime, but a dangerous enemy anticipates Cobb’s every move.
Characters: Arthur – Dom Cobb’s right hand man, a part of the team Dom assembled to complete his masterful plan. Yusuf – another member of the team who formulates the drugs and is the driver in the scene.
Rationale: I chose this scene because when I first watched this movie it really stuck out to me how fascinating and aesthetically pleasing it was. The use of camera angles, the slow motion effects and how dramatic the scene were the reasons for choosing this cut.
