Anyone and everyone I've run into has been talking about Inception lately. In order to avoid having the movie being spoiled for me, I had to see it for myself, ASAP.
....and then...
Wow. The movie -definitely- did not disappoint. The story is SO complicated, yet it's so innovative that it really blows your mind away. A dream within a dream within a dream within a dream. Every depth of the dream, every calculated action and every planned fall just leaves you in awe of the bigger picture.
The key players are the Extractor(Cobb), the Point Man(Arthur), the Architect (Ariadne), the Chemist(Yusuf), the Forger(Eames) and the Tourist(Saito). Every single character played their part perfectly. Cobb's messed up past complicated the situation quickly, yet helped draw the audience into their dreams deeper and deeper. Towards the end, I felt like I wanted to know more about each of the characters than I ever cared for, and that's such a rare gift for any movie.
Of course, the story is not without flaws. Why on earth would someone as powerful as Saito risk his own safety to join the inception team? I know it's to make sure the job gets done, but he could very well pay someone else to do it! And why would Fisher trust Cobb so easily if he has been trained to combat extraction?? I had a lot of questions. Oh well, my head is already about to explode with all the complicated details of the movie, so I'm not planning to drill on the faults.
After the movie is over, the first thing my friend said was,"How in the world did Christopher Nolan come up with this idea?!" And what an idea it was, it left my mind exhausted for the rest of the night. Yet, I still cannot wait to see this movie again. Soon.
