Inception - a PAF review
Draws were announced. Christopher Nolan and guys from Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures were glad to become partners. And why not, Christopher Nolan had done a wonderful job last year with The Dark Knight, bagging the award in all categories.
So the meeting started with Maggi Bonda on the table, and Chris proposed a fantasy, where people would float against gravity. Pete from Warner Bro's would have none of it. He asked Chris why another fantasy again after The Dark Knight, and Chris got furious while trying to explain that TDK was not really a fantasy, but a fiction. They argued on fantasy and fiction for 15 minutes before Jack from Legendary Pictures shut them up, and banned the two F words.
As Jack put things into perspective, the two started a more friendlier discussion. It was a thief story in which Leo steals information and goes into an S-zone(with zero gravity) where no cop could beat him at his own game. Pete agreed on fantasy, but now wanted Chris to go overboard with it. Pete said something like, "Saale is fantasy mein prod aur special effects ka bahut scope hai. Humara prod team achha hai, 3 saal se best prod humko mila hai. Is bar bahut saare prod banaayenge". Chris had a hard time explaining to him that one zero gravity fight is enough, and anything else may be booed if it does not fit in the story. "Junta OAT mein daya-daya kar degi, aur ab toh mobile bhi niklenge. Sarhad bhool gaye, special effects ki maari thi?"
The decision was left to Jack again. Jack knew that judges are unpredictable, and a thought went to Far from Vietnam. This is what he said.
"Abey bakchodi karo, lekin justify karo warna junta maar legi. Special effects aur prod zyaada karna hai toh story ko justify karna padega, alag alag prod rakho lekin alag alag zone ke liye, aur special effects daal denge kyunki har zone mein time alag alag chalaayenge.......chamka? abey dekh, jaise S-zone ke alaawa T-zone, V-zone".
A freshie, oops, junior associate from Warner Bros. interrupted "haan jaise Green Zone, Red Zone, Blue Zone..."
Admist shouts of "Kya fart hai, saala freshie,iski maa &^%$ do, bumps!!", nobody could hear what Chris and Jack were discussing.
Next morning, Chris had a class where the prof was talking about functions within functions. He tried to concentrate hard at the blackboard.It was difficult with the hangover. He had gone to this class only for the second time, dreading an XX. He did not even know the course name properly. But he listened.
End of that day, he went to his room and wrote the DREAM sequence. It was 5 in the morning when he finished writing, and headed straight to Maddu Mess.
