  • ey wer is deutsch

  • wow the 3 person in the video is hot. But yeh as avid lucid dream this is pretty crazy stuff.

  • this can't be real

  • Project Somnacin is REAL?

    Man...wow

  • For a man who doesn't own a computer he sure knows how to do a viral piece of marketing. Ah well, least these guys can put "Film by Chris Nolan" on their resumé,

  • holy shit Sarah Palin gave him the idea for the whole film

  • Project Somnacin is actually "real?" People can actually enter other people's dreams?

  • @gbinct Do you actually think someone would tell you?

  • @matissesoccer Well you realise that everything else in the video is real, right?

    Shared dreaming may not be a public military program, but those on dream views dot com, including myself, have all experinced having the same dream with another person.

    In my case, it was with someone on the other side of the planet who I've never met before. We saw what we both looked like. No machine involved.

  • CHRISTOPHER NOLAN needs to learn how to direct a dam film, of course it makes so much sense that the joker shoots someone and there is no blood at all. i just stopped watching dark knight as soon as i saw that cause its just some kiddy bullshit with no blood or realism, i dont give a fuck about sellout pg 13 movie directors. Be a real director and show blood if its needed like coppola, scorsese, hitchcock, fellini

  • @malows1234 if your judging his entire movie career by the first few minutes of the dark night, your opinion doesn't really matter much in the first place. but just because a director decides that he doesn't want physical gore and bloodshed to distract from the other aspects of the film, doesn't make him a bad director. one gunshot wound doesn't need a minute long shot of the guy bleeding and writhing in pain because that would distract from the rest of whats going on in the scene.

  • @kjcsk8r dude he is a talanted guy, when he made memento now he is a sellout summer blockbuster genre director, and if he makes another blockbuster which he will, he will be nothing more than a entertainer, which is fine but i prefer artists. and by the way if u look on youtube, a interview where he says he had to get rid of blood or desaturate it to avoid a R rating, any artist would have taken the R rating for realism that they planned to have. Martin scorsese-taxi driver.

  • @malows1234 Oh God, he's popular and successful, THE HORROR!

  • @TheDoomArt well he is popular and sucessful at the expense of his artistic ambition

  • @malows1234 No, you obviously don't understand the film industry if you think making blockbusters makes you a 'sell out', if anything its the audiences who buy into Bay's shitstorm Transformers who create this stereotype. He's proved his artistic worth with Memento, Batman Begins was (by luck) his big break, showing he can make thought provoking character based blockbusters and still entertain the masses.

  • @malows1234 He's just breaking into the most desired spot a filmmaker can be in, one with enough finance and trust to create any lavishly budgeted blockbuster he thinks up.

    tl;dr He hasn't made many films, we can't just discount him as a 'sell out' entertainer just because of how breakthrough his blockbuster films have been. He's already being hailed as a modern day Auteur, can we not apply Auteur theory to action films too? I wouldn't discount Inception or Batman Begins.

  • @WaldronicTomotron i am sorry i should clarify my position, i think we can all agree memento is his masterpeice and not inception or batman. i have no problem with him making batman 1 and 2. Inception i dont think was as visionary as people claim, but watever thats just how i feel. But if he makes a third batman, when there is obviously no story to go on. And he even said at a comic con months before dark knight was realeased that if there is a third batman, he wont be directing it.

  • @malows1234 'When there is OBVIOUSLY no story to go on'? If you believe that with 70 years material and an alledged way Nolan can take the characters further (thus completing his run through of the young Batman) then you don't even know what you're talking about.

    You should really read all of Nolan's statements if you believe so strongly in one. In late 2010 he stated that he and his brother cracked a way to continue his story and characters in order to definitively 'finish' it.

  • @WaldronicTomotron so why does he now want to direct it? i will tell you exactly why, because he cant turn down the gold plated space mansions that warner brothers is offering him. DOnt you see wats happening, he went from the guy making prestige and memento to hyped bs like batman, and now producing superman. Are u telling me that it doesn't bother you that we might have had a new kubrick in the making, but now he is going to just be a movie mogul like spielberg who made good blockbusters

  • @malows1234 You're making a deal out of Nolan profiting from the great position he's in. If you had tried to get enough finance and attention with your early films (Memento, Following) and then suddenly be thrown an opportunity to create your dream (his dream in making a blockbuster) so that you can have all the money you want to continue with future projects, you'd pass on that? He's the same guy, he just needed an opportunity like the batman franchise to get his own power in the industry.

  • @WaldronicTomotron i am not putting down the action genre, but man if u go back and watch memento and prestige, there is a real passion to his direction, a real vision and intimacy. INCEPTION on the other hand is just fucking people jumping thru dreams i mean come on man. seriouly, the whole movie was a answer, it hardly poses any vision, it just shows that nolan can make big blockbusters. Just tell me u agree at least that memento and prestige are way fucking better than batman.

  • @malows1234 Are you saying tailoring a blockbuster to a universal audience would require an 'intimate approach'? No, I think he dealt well putting his own signature elements into an already collossal money making franchise and making something that COULD be viewed as artistic standing alone, pretty well.

    Sure, it had spectacular action sequences but that doesn't mean they don't innovate.

  • @malows1234 When you study the blockbusters of Chris Nolan you can see how innovative they actually are; for instance why have Warner Bros gave him a producing role on their biggest superhero, why have Marvel cancelled their massively successful Spiderman franchise in favour of a more real rebooted version?

    I'm not a fanboy, or trying to put you down on your opinion, I just think you should open your eyes more to what the man's actually accomplished. Again, he's only made 6 features.

  • @WaldronicTomotron look i will agree that there was only one man who made blockbusters as great as him in teh past and that man is steven spielberg. I agree that nolan is LEAPS and bounds ahead of bay, cameron. There is not question he has a talent for it. But i geuss this is more of a question to you. didn't u think the vision and genius of memento and prestige blow the pants of batman and inception? like i saw batman and i loved it like everyone, but it didn't knock me out the same way

  • @malows1234 But that's not the point, sure Memento has different standards to Batman Begins (Think you're just following a crowd by thinking The Prestige too), it was a milestone in modern cinema. But you can't compare it to a film which had to sell to a universal audience, is what i'm saying. Batman begins was equally as mezmerizing as Memento in its own category, action/thriller-superhero. They're completely different, the only way to compare is in signature trademarks from Nolan.

  • @WaldronicTomotron did u ever think bout how kubrick is different cause u brought it up and i m thinking bout it. and like kubrick films are more like questions to the audience. like wat does the obelisk mean? and all that. Hitchcock and nolan are just masters at using cinema tools to tell a story the best way. Wouldn't u agree? like memento, psycho, inception dont really pose questions they more so focus on a well structured story, and they tell the story RELLY well.

  • @malows1234 Yeah they are different artistically and i'd say Nolan got his influences from both. 2001 is one of his favourite films after all.

    When you say pose questions, Hitchcock based some of the key themes in his films on psychological issues, Alfred Hitchcock is responsible for perhaps the most thought provoking film in cinematic history, Vertigo which posed many questions on spectatorship and Voyeurism also.

  • @WaldronicTomotron well yes, but vertigo is his most intelligent film, and it strays quite a bit from his other films. i would group nolan with hitchcock, and kurosawa with kubrick. Kurosawa mainly for rashoman nd ran

  • @malows1234 It only strays further in how it takes the common themes of voyeurism Hitchcock would portray in his films and creates a film entirely based on an audiences spectatorship in duality with the pleasure's of looking or 'the gaze'.

  • @WaldronicTomotron like u know when u watch memento? your thinking the whole time "oh fuck the editing, the pacing its all so genius". but i sort of didn't have "feeling". i am not bashing his talent in any way. i mean to be honest of all the directors of his generation, he is probably second only to paul thomas anderson. i just feel like instead of making batman. BE absolutely honest with me when i ask you this. do u think batman and inception match any of kubricks masterpeices?

  • @malows1234 Y'know, its half editing, half cinematography. Editing IS the pacing.

    I love how you think Kubrick is god of cinema. Batman Begins could be defined as the 2001 of the superhero 'genre'. Like I said, it changed the way comic book movies were approached in the industry. And is a classic in my eyes. But i'm not arguing Batman vs Kubrick okay...

    If you were to honestly compare a master filmmaker to Nolan, it'd be Hitchcock more than Kubrick, arguably.

  • @WaldronicTomotron hmm i always found kubrick's methodical and slow paced editing far more immersive, thn the tension that hitchcock biulds. But ya i see wat u mean kubrick is quite different from nolan. Nolan is more like a great filmmaker, rather than a visionary, just like hitchcock. cuse if u think about it hitchcock is not knows for his visionary skills, he is known to be good s fuck at amping up tension and what not using cinema tools. nolan is more like hitchcock

  • @WaldronicTomotron well i will tell u wat the mysterious nature of memento in my opinion comes equal to some kubrick masterpeices such as the shining.... and stuff such as that. PRestige, well prestige is just fucking awesome period. i am not bashing batman, cause me and everybody know they are good films. But good is different from legendary. Memento just might be legendary, i think we will remember it in 10 years.

  • @malows1234 Yeah, I would put Memento in the same list as say, 2001: A Space Odyssey for it innovating and transcending in genre.

    Its Memento that's Nolan's current masterpiece not Inception. Yeah I think Memento will stand the test of time, funny how it was his first major feature.

    Memento > Batman Begins > The Dark Knight/Inception > The Prestige > Insomnia > Folllowing.

  • @WaldronicTomotron thank god your one of the people that can see that batman begins is soooo much better than dark knight, gaahh people are going too btshit over the new batman. but ya batman begins is better

  • Comment removed

  • @matissesoccer ...uh MK Ultra,(brought in by the Nazi's during Operation Paperclip) and countless other militarized programs are in use. Inception, the film was brilliant, and your comments arent well thought out. There was a lawsuit filed by citizens who were brainwashed via MK Ultra. Im unsure of "dream sharing" but there is Monarch (FACT) and other mind control programs using sleep induction and trauma based conditioning. The only suckers were Avatar viewers.

  • Chris Nolan, I think I love you!

  • @dridgedancingqueen

    I don't wan't disappoint you, but he's in fact a family man.

  • @qwuezalothus hahaha I didn't mean it that way...

  • Did Nolan listen to these opinions before making Inception?

  • @qwuezalothus christopher nolan had this movie planned for 10 years thats why the story is so complete

  • Wow, look at all those copies of the Dark Knight, Batman Begins and the special edition of Batman Begins.

  • @FMoradipour its his ego, i suppose.

  • ps) all my dreams are lucid

  • Comment removed

  • I have dreams that are either a) me as fairytale characters or b) premonitions about people I am close to and or events in the world.... almost 85% of them actually have occured at later dates? How would u explain this?

  • what would u say if half my dreams are comprised of me being fairy tale characters??? I also have dreams that end up occuring either a week or two later.. as if I have premonitions.. can u explain this???

  • Comment removed

  • More on the response from dream researchers at asdreams.org

  • Dr. G. William Domhoff teaches at University of California.

    Dr. Jayne Gackenbach teaches at Grant MacEwan University and Athabasca University in Canada.

    I noticed the third "researcher" did not state her name for the camera => just an actress for the sake of the viral video (not to mention the absurdity of "Project Somnacin").

    Apparently the Mind Crime Inception game contains a poster with "‘SEND TO CPT DARREN BARTEL.’” written on it, so he's likely a character tie-in to the movie.

  • The 3rd interviewee at 3:35 is so obviously acting. If they were all acting, then mad props to the first two people.

  • thumbs up if roger ebert sent u here

  • following FTW

  • Can anyone see what the DVDs and books on the shelves are? Would love to see what films and literature Chris has (Assuming of course that is is his house; the Following poster kind of confirms it slightly).

  • @miketheman321 At head level of most of the subjects there appear to be a half-dozen copies each of "The Dark Knight" on Blu-Ray and DVD. Perhaps "thanks for playing" gifts for the non-actor interviewees. If I had directed one of the biggest movies of modern times, I'd probably fortify my house/office with copies of it as well.

  • from perez hlton says ts hs twtter so has to be real

  • Leo dicapro has a twtter now from today and he posted ths vdeo on t.

  • I WANT to buy into all this whole promotional thing that is intended to make you accept fiction as something real, but it just reminds me of the whole Eagle Eye campaign crap which did make you think... and then turned out to be complete bullshit. I WANT their clever advertising to work on me but I can't help but take it with a pinch of salt. Damn you Shia LaBeouf!

  • @viterole yea eagle eye allll over again well spotted. i hate this conspiracy shit ,, i would see the movie without being lied too this just puts me off.

    Iits funny also they are trying to convince eevrybody this video is "viral" when it is obviously not lol

  • @viterole actually, everything short of participating in other people's dreams is real. lucid dreams do exist, and there are people who have trained themselves to lucid dream on command. do some searches, there's plenty of info about it.

  • Yeah, well everything they talked about is pretty much true. Only the third interview lady that talks about the military using shared dreaming is fake. Lucid dreaming is real, and it can be used to overcome nightmares and such. There are a bunch of sites/forums dedicated to these kinds of dreams; it's genuine stuff. I know because I've had like 2 lucid dreams before, and I won't lie, you can do some pretty epic shit when you realize you're dreaming.

  • @OmegaOwA Haha yeah man me to I've had three you can do some much shit haha anything its so amazing

  • the one at 4:45 kind of came across like she was acting. i dont know why, i just thought she seemed fake.

  • @woddaheck As soon as she said "It's called lucid dreaming" I could tell she was an actress. Then later, "once someone's aware they're dreaming, they can...actively participate" really hammered it home. From then on, it's the classic "look away, then back" technique that actors do all the time when they have to provide exposition.

  • I sure hope no one actually believes this is actual research, it's all scripted, it's especially obvious in the Sara Palin lookalike

  • @steemsdis -The first two are actually real people who do that stuff with dreams.

  • @steemsdis the basis for the first guy was all true; just google Stephen Laberge's research about Lucid Dreaming. After that though, especially with the lady, was definately fake; just for the viral ad

  • Is this for the film "Inception" that's coming out soon?

  • @DrSTphan yes it is.

  • that third person convinced me, this is staged!

  • This is very skillfully produced and probably fully edited footage which, by the looks of the comments, is creating the stir it wants.

    This isn't raw unedited footage, it's like a less jerky Cloverfield ad.

  • some of the films twists have leaked online,i think this video is just a tease,the third woman is clearly acting,it just looks liek a chaep trick

  • Chris, You Are Brilliant.

    I noticed "Following" poster on the wall.

    Anything you create is gold; along with Jonah.

  • @k97cross Following was such a good movie!

  • Its research footage... FOOTAGE, thats why its not edited. And of course, its viral.

  • The young girl is obviously acting.

  • -.- that is the real Chris Nolan you fools

  • @ox0xo You're an idiot. These people say their names. Google them, tool.

  • i dont care about the people being interviewed you nut.

    its the form in which this video was shaped you tool. its wannabe-interesting.

    its a fact that the way in which it was edited was to bring it more reality which it maybe is or isnt.

  • @ox0xo  Good call. It's probably not Christopher Nolan, either. They just made it look like it to make it more wannabe-interesting and bring more reality to it.

    Funny stuff, dude.

  • @cddavey im talking about the edit, not about the maker or the interviewed.

    they could've made it look more pro, with proper introduction, their names printed, not interrupting. am not doubting the truth of the things being said, the artificial 'lost footage' touch which was made in the edit makes it look fake to me.

    its probably meant to look like lost footage but again I feel they try too hard. let the people tell their story while putting their name and expertise level below, would've worked

  • Wow, I didn't know Sarah Palin knew so much about dreams. She probably should have brought this up during the election.

  • @Pocketmobsters i don't think that's Sarah Palin. It doesn't even sound like her.

  • @Pocketmobsters a latin sarah palin.

  • @Pocketmobsters More like Eva Mendes.

  • @Pocketmobsters Sarah Palin or Eva Mendes?

  • this just shows chris' genius, using this as a teaser?? Brilliant.

  • Sweet! More viral please! I love it. :D

  • Hmmm interesting.

  • damn. Film of the forever

    or should I say

    crime mind is the scene your of??!?
