He's poached by one of his marks ( Ken Watanabe), who hires Cobb to do a much different job: enter the dreams of the son ( Cillian Murphy) of his business rival with the purpose of "inception," i.e. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Cobb, a thief who gains access to what he wants by invading people's dreams and "extracting" information. That's the key."Ī director who has no problem challenging audiences, Christopher Nolan appears again on this list with his 2010 thriller Inception. "You're meant to go on the journey, pass through the maze, understand the things you need to understand for the stakes of the scene you're in, and then you get to the end of the movie and you've been on a journey and you understand how you got there. "The interesting thing in movies is, you know, looking at the thriller genre in particular, you're not meant to understand every single aspect," he told NPR a few months after the movie came out. "And that's really difficult to get that balance of making it sound like natural dialogue and trying to get across information that you probably need a PhD to understand properly."įor his part, Nolan believes that not understanding every aspect of Tenet-or of similar films-is sort of the point.
