The Only Inception

Damn! Someone I know described Inception with this one word and I agree with her. Christopher Nolan created a masterpiece that M. Night Shyamalan can only dream about. Inception literally blew my mind away. I don’t know what reality is anymore.

Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Cobb, an extractor who is paid to steal secret by invading one’s dreams. Then one day Saito (Ken Watanabe) hired him to do the opposite, which is an Inception. He had to plant an idea into rival businessman Robert Fischer Jr. (Cillian Murphy) rather than extract one.

Cobb had to assemble the best team for the job. Aside from his longtime partner Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), he needed Ariadne the Architect (Ellen Page), Eames the Forger (Tom Hardy), and Yusuf the Chemist (Dileep Rao).

Eames (Tom Hardy): If we are gonna perform Inception then we need imagination.

What happens next is probably the weirdest but best heist I’ve ever seen in a movie. If you think Avatar was amazing, then you should see Inception’s set design and special effects because it managed to be better. The movie is not done in 3D but you’ll feel that you’re there. It’s like a two hour dream. Music by Hans Zimmer helped create the perfect dreamscape.

The actors did a good job in Inception. Leonardo DiCaprio might be Jack Dawson of the Titanic but after Inception he will be Cobb in my mind forever. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ellen Page did a good job as supports. Plus they provided one of the highlights in the movie.

Inception is a fucking mind fuck that’s worth seeing more than once. It’s the perfect dream after the nightmare called Eclipse. I do think that Christopher Nolan has successfully done an inception. He managed to open the audiences’ minds to the possibilities and complexities of an alternative reality without making it hard for them to understand. For now, I’ll keep my totem in my pocket just to be sure.

Be sure to catch Inception in the big screen. The experience will definitely be mind-blowing. Don’t just take my word for it. Go out now to the nearest cinema before it’s too late.
