Hey, I’ve been eyeing the opening shot of *Inception* and the way the camera keeps bending those angles—almost like a puzzle that slowly reveals itself. What’s your take on how the frame shapes the story?

I’d call it a lock‑and‑key mechanism, but the keys are the camera’s own movements. Every tilt is a tiny screw turning until the whole scene lines up. Makes you wonder if Nolan’s framing is just a high‑precision screwdriver in a world of loose screws.

That’s the thing—when the lens turns, the dream doesn’t just shift, it tightens. The whole sequence feels like a winding gear, each camera move tightening the plot’s spiral. It’s not just a visual trick; it’s a structural bolt that keeps the narrative from loosening.
