In one of the films memorable scenes of falling slow motion vans off a bridge it just so happens to take place in Wilmington, California close to the shipping docks on terminal island. The film makes no mention of its car chase location except that it is happening within the confides of the mind. To the native of Wilmas the chase route, and bridge, are easily identifiable and has appeared in other movies, one i have written about James Cameron's Terminator 2: judgement day. Once again without no credit except for being mentioned as the city of Los Angeles wilmas has lent its geography to another summer blockbuster.

wilmas in Cinema: inception
Christopher Nolan's acclaimed, much criticized but definitely talked about past summer anticipated hit Inception was the dream within a dream movie that gave us everything from action and chase while giving its audience a headache towards the end. This work of creative cinema covered many tasking ideas hidden in an entertaining heist film, however this movie was not just a visual delight to myself and others but happened to come closer to my heart. It filmed in my home town.
