"Inception" 2010 Film Review

I usually don't write reviews for films that are still on theatres. 
But I saw Inception the other night and it blew my mind.
I just had to write something about it.
Inception is a 2010 American science fiction action film written, produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Michael Caine, and Dileep Rao. 
DiCaprio plays Dom Cobb, a thief who extracts information from the subconscious mind of his victims while they dream. Unable to visit his children, Cobb is offered a chance to regain his old life in exchange for one last job: performing inception, the planting of an idea into the mind of his client's competitor.


Star Rating:***** (5/5)


First of all, to watch this movie and grasp the meaning of it, you have to be relatively smart, to say the least. Inception plays with the spectator's mind, as well as the characters', from the beginning to the end.
The movie starts and gives you this question: "It's OK to steal information from the subconscious mind of someone, but how can you plant an original idea in their head, how can you plan an Inception inside their mind, if that serves your purpose?"
Inception has a lot of "Matrix-like" effects and concepts, but overall it is a movie on its own caliber.


A quote hard to forget is this (of course it's another thing hearing it from Marion Cotillard speaking to Ellen Page):
 "Do you know what it is to be a lover? To be half of a whole? I'll tell you a riddle: You're waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you... But you don't know for sure. But it doesn't matter. How can it not matter to you where the train will take you?" DiCaprio walks in: "Because we'll be together."


Also, the wealthy father tells his son while on his death bed: 
"-I'm dissapointed...
-I know. You're dissapointed in me, because I couldn't be like you...
-No. I'm dissapointed, because you tried..."


 If you really "get" it, the movie will give you a lot of goose bumbs, and will send you to sleep at night with a new perspective on things, it may even cause a new resolution.
Watch it and let me know what you think.
