there have been a huge number of comparisons between this film and the matrix, and if this is true, then i'm sorry to say this film won't be winning best picture or best director. true that film is good, and enjoyable, but the film can be disheartening at times, because you as an audience have to work to keep up with the movie. though i understood it, i felt cheated because i ended up explain what had just happened to my mother, who was left dazed and confused about what had just happened.

the film, moved through fantastically, but the start was a bit of a giveaway, that this film will end on an annoying note. though i like what Christopher Nolan did, i was greatly disappointed that he took more time in telling the movie, than he did telling the actuals story, if you get what i mean.

i can certainly see why people are quick to say this will win best picture (because the dark knight didn't) we mustn't think like that, if we are to say every physcological thriller had to win best picture because it's entertaining, then the Oscar has lost it's merit because it's supposed to celebrate films, not a specific person.
