A Shot That Sticks Out

    I have watched countless movies, some better than others. Some of the movies that stick out to me the most are the ones where the cinematography is very well executed and adds to the narrative. In one of my favorite films, Christopher Nolan's mind-bending sci-fi film, Inception, the cinematography does a great job adding to the narrative of the film. It does an amazing job expressing the setting inside the characters' minds. One shot in particular that sticks out to me is the shot in the ending scene of the film. 

    The shot of the spinning top at the end of the film stuck with me. This shot works effectively to leave the ending of the film up to the audience's thoughts. The film ends with uncertainty, which is uncomfortable to some. Without spoiling a big part of the film, this shot makes the audience question the reality of this film. It is such a simple shot, yet it holds so much meaning. I don't see how I would do this shot any differently. I would suggest this film to anyone who is looking to watch a film that will capture their attention and leave them with plenty of thoughts.
