INCEPTION (2010)

“Let’s come to reality, enough of dreaming” is the first line, which we’ll use after watching the movie. Very few movies, drags you so close to it, through their, cinematography, screenplay or even actors; that you will realize, it was just a movie after it ends. Inception has one among them which takes you very close with it, with its story itself.
Dreams, how could a person imagine or analyze so much about it, about an imagination and create a new imaginary things with it. That is what director, Christopher Nolan has did. He takes you into the screenplay, and makes you a part of that dream and leaves you dreaming rest of the movie.
There are some basic pre requisites to watch and in fact to enjoy the movie. Mathematics, Physics, basically you should know or should have experienced dreaming. Many of us say, I never dream. It’s our perception. Everyone would surely have dreams, may be they forget about it as soon as they wake up.
If you don't have the above then you might finish it by saying "never been so confused about some freaking dreams in ma life!!!! heights of confusion!!!! INCEPTION--- great movie!!! great thoughts!!! great direction!!! not to forget----- GREATEST confusions of all time!! ......" this was quoted by one of the friends.
In this movie, you are shown how a dream can be used as a powerful tool to change another person’s ideas. The screenplay is constructed nicely and it sometimes might seem to be a roller coaster ride. Yeah, it kicks off like a rocket and slows down, while the whole concept is being explained, again moves faster, then slows down, sometimes confusing, sometimes very plain. However if one concentrates on the slower part of the movie, then the other part will be more enjoyable.
Computer Graphics, camera techniques, settings, the mazes, architectures, actions, and a bit of single line comedies, you name it, it is there in the movie and of course with a meaningful fiction as well.
Compare the reality and the scenes in the dream; you will see they are physically sequential. Better experience it than with my words.
Hans Zimmer’s background score rocks, appropriate sound mixtures in each frame. I haven’t watched Wally Pfister’s cinematographer earlier so cannot comment or compare his work with his earlier works.
Also I haven’t watched Batman Begins or the Dark Knight so can’t express more about director Christopher Nolan. However after watching this, I will try to check out his earlier works.
Leonardo DiCaprio, is still many girl’s dream guy even in action movies. He has maintained his charm and fitness all over the movie. He covers almost 50% of the screen while other actors Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon, Tom Hardy the rest equally. Marion Cottilard shows up for few scenes but carries a heavy role to perform. Dileep Rao is getting some stronger characters in each movie; soon we might expect him to come up stronger.
What I suggest is, watch each and every frame of the movie, concentrate on the basics, get into the maze, roll yourself into it, get out of it and experience the DREAM.
Rating:- 3.8/5
