When a reporter asked Christopher Nolan, director of Inception, if the commercial success of his previous movie The Dark Knight gave him the freedom "to push the boundaries of what you can do", Nolan replied,
"I felt a responsibility."
It's quite a breath of fresh air to hear freedom and responsibility so transparently paired, particularly from someone with Christopher Nolan's field of influence. Someone once asked him why he is interested in the mind.
"I only slightly facetiously answered, 'Well, I've always lived in one,'" Nolan told USA Today (July 15). Then he added, "But there's something to that. You do live in your own mind."
It is exactly this level of thinking that is the most striking success of Nolan's film. This film could only be made by someone sincerely fascinated with what really makes us tick - our Minds.
