"INCEPTION"; a brilliant American Thriller!

Christopher Nolan’s intellectual, exhilarating, mind twisting sci fi extravaganza, starring the great actor Leonardo DiCaprio presents the best mix of modern and traditional film making. Inception premiered in London on July 8th 2010 and was released in theatres on July 16th 2010. The trailer was great which made the movie worth watching.


What would it be like if someone could enter the dream of another without them having the slightest clue? Time passes by too quickly in the dream and there is a possibility that while in the dream one could steal the secrets of others from the sub conscious and reveal those secrets. In the movie this idea becomes a reality.

Leonardo is the leading character who plays “Dom Cobb”. When it comes to stealing information from unsuspected sleepers he is considered to be the best thief in the movie. Cobb works under Saito (Ken Watanabe). Cobb’s boss offers him a job which if he successfully completes he will be reunited with his children again. Cobb realizes that this is a big challenge for him and so he has to build up an idea in the mind of his boss’ rival instead of stealing information from the dream. This type of dream planting is called inception. Isn’t the whole idea of dream planting simply amazing?telling us that "your mind is the scene of the crime". Ellen Page as Ariadne is hired on Cobb’s team as an architect. He creates the scene of the dream making sure that the dreamer does not realize that it is a tactic. But the problem which arises here is that if one finds himself in an alternative world created by his own mind then there is a possibility that the laws of physics might be observed.

Christophe Nolan has also been the director of The Dark Knight and Insomnia and Nolan’s accomplishment with The Dark Knight helped secure the film $100 million in advertising expenditure. Inception is a fascinating movie because Nolan is an expert in creating the effects and stunts out of the ordinary elements but with the whole idea of inception the movie might appear to be difficult to comprehend as DiCaprio himself did not understand the whole script when he first read it. The idea of the whole movie is magnificent no doubt with incredible effects but some of you wont get the real gist of the movie by just watching it once. So no worries you might want to watch the movie again any ways because of the dramatic ending which holds your breath.
