Movie Review – Inception
Never before in my life have I felt so overwhelmed with awe. Inception, yet another masterpiece from the genius mind of Christopher Nolan, is one of the most beautiful, captivating, breathtaking and also confusing movies ever made.
I bitterly regret missing the first 5 minutes of the movie, as I’ve missed five whole minutes in possibly the greatest movie of the decade. I’m resolute about not giving out any spoilers. This movie should be watched by every single movie-lover, and if you’ve completely understood the plot and can explain it to a movie-hater, you might well have added a member to the former faction.
I had watched Shutter Island on the same day before watching this movie, and Leonardo DiCaprio’s character was still fresh in my mind. I daresay he’s still in the same character, but somehow manages to still pull it off with such panache that truly compliments the beauty of the story. Ellen Paige is one of our generation’s best actors, and has once again proved it with her wonderful emotions. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is another complete package, with sublime dialogue delivery and like one of my friends put it, “he’s so cute!!”. Ken Watanabe is one of the finest actors from Asia, and I’ve always believed he’s truly gifted. His portrayal of a dishonoured samurai in “The Last Samurai” moved me to tears. As he fits the role of a millionaire business tycoon like a glove, his English however, was very difficult to decipher.
The plot was truly confusing, but captivating enough to pull everyone into following it. The true allure of the movie, however, lies in the visual magnificence of the dreams. The bending of the streets of Paris, the shifting gravity sequence and the surreal dream city built by Dom and Mal are wholesome visual treats that need to be watched over and over again. One small gripe, however, would be the lack of emotion in the love between the lead protagonists. But like I said, the storyline makes up for that.
Do not miss this movie. And buy the DVD too once it comes out, and stash it under the ‘SuperFreakyAwesome’ category. Many years down the line, you could make your kids watch this (by then, you would’ve figured the plot) and tell them “you know, they used to make such awesome movies in my time”.
