Someone posted this chart over at Hoffman's. Pretty cool. It may help reconciling what you thought was going on with what was actually going on.
Appears to have been created by a Nolanite. For fanbois and non fanbois alike! BTW, it can be exploded for easier viewing by just one click anywhere on the chart.

I realized that I do not go to movies to WORK. That I have to record then go home and analyze to understand the "message" of the film. I like to be intrigued but not necessarily steamrolled by some director showing us all how smart he his. I believe Nolan is the current king of that and without spectacular special effects he would be a failure. (Inception, Interstellar). Is he capable of writing a sensitive, empathetic script about relationships? Anybody who wears a suit to the set definitely has a few issues about who he is.
...I loved "Memento".
I really liked "Inception".
Both require you to work a little, but more importantly to discuss the film with friends who may have different views and conclusions.
Good movies that make you think are rare - most are laid out so you don't have to.
I particularly like ambiguous endings.
If you like ambiguous endings then 'Gone Girl' was qualify.
...the ending in Gone Girl was the same as the book.
She is one of the great female villains and he is a narcissistic ass - so at the end when he has to stay with her to see his kid, he kind of gets what he deserves and she wins.
Not much ambiguity there.

Watch it a couple times and get back to us. Special effects are good but the whole film is about relationships.
I usually make it a habit to put directors on pedestals because they will let you down...just like real people. I had no idea who directed 'The Prestige' and I remember it positively.
Almost all his films have common elements of overcoming deception and returning a parent to a child. The use of special effects is handled skillfully and rarely gets in the way of the story.
Off to see it tonight at the science museum IMAX screen. 70mm presentation.
I hope it suitably impresses me. I think 5 bathroom visits before should keep me out of trouble and definitely no beer beforehand.
Will I understand it? Probably not. Prometheus was difficult too.
Cheers
I foolishly forget about that and I did not realize how loooong it was.
...to make it all the way thru even while having a largish Coke. Sure was glad to visit the mens' room!

William Bruce Cameron: "...not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."
A useful reference for those of us still sorting through events within the movie.
And this brings up another thought; when's the last time you sat through a movie that requires a flow-chart story board in order to keep up with the story? I can't quite think of one.
another thought part 2:
Considering all the negative comments about the film on this forum, why is it that the conversation continues one week after it began? answer: maybe this movie is better than most of us have been willing to admit.

...I figured out most everything in the movie without the chart.
But for others who didn't get some of it or had trouble hearing the dialog, the chart is fun.
Second - most all of the negative comments are from one person.
Last week the film only opened on 250 screens across the US. This week the number doubles.
It is one of the best and most significant films of the year which is why there is so much discussion.
Sure to be nominated for multiple Oscars including Best Picture.
Let's see, here are posters who said something negative about the film,
tin, Gritsy, my own self, Stellavox, User510, rnhood, PhilJ, you yer own self pointed out no less than 6 inconsistencies. Counting you, that's 8.

...and very interesting for all who didn't get it the first time.
Twisted mind and lack of life so we might feebly understand.
minutes one's ass has to sit still. Without an intermission.
Nolans are sadists.
The masochist, the one who likes to be hurt asks the sadist to hurt him. The sadist is the one who says, no. So those who enjoy sitting for very long movies would be masochists,
...without hitting the john at least a couple of times, eh?
Maybe you'll enjoy it more at home on DVD when you can pause it...
edited w/no loss of the story. How many times did we have to visit the cornfields? Did the fight have to go on forever (no pun intended)? And so on...
I'm gonna watch it on Blu Ray. I'll pause, back up, use subtitles, refill my wine glass, whatever the &^%* it takes.

"E Burres Stigano"
The dialog is not the only thing you may have missed. I am sure I missed a ton when I saw it. Looking forward to the blu-ray but don't go too heavy on the wine.
