Today, the Shattered Lens wishes a happy 91st birthday to Sir Michael Caine.
Today’s scene that I love comes from 2010’s Inception, a film that featured Caine in a small but key role. Caine shares this scene with Leonardo DiCaprio and, as good an actor as DiCaprio may be, Caine dominates from the moment he first looks up.

Great analysis! Yes this is one of my favorite scenes from the film as well. DiCaprio and Caine are indeed fantastic in the scene. However, I would argue that the direction also contributes towards the scene’s success. Nolan has such a unique style of blocking actors to showcase their powerful relationships. He should have won an Oscar for this film. I’m so happy he finally got recognized this year for “Oppenheimer”.
