Sweet Dreams

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2012)

Yes, Inception. Christopher Nolan's baby, a product he worked on for 10 years. And what a product it is. Seeing it for the first time in a darkened classroom in Philosophy class because it would be a movie "you would need to think about" didn't work out that well. Phone buzzing all the time because we were watching it during the lunch break and people were wondering what we were doing,people talking in the hallways, people talking in the class ("I don't get this movie, is this a dream? OK, this is stupid..")
A while later I re-watched this movie and then I finally got the picture, this is a movie which was really thought about, which was taken care of and which was handled with precision. It quickly became one of my favorite movies. I have showed this movie to my father who loved it as well, which shows that different kinds of people can enjoy this movie.
The concept is great : breaking into someones mind,stealing from or in this case implanting something in their mind. How Christopher Nolan thought of this completely baffles me.
I have always liked Leonardi DiCaprio and was happy to see him take on the lead role. I think he's a great actor. I saw this movie twice before seeing anything else with Ellen Page in it, but after I saw Juno I realized she's a very talented young actress. She can take on very different roles. Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt,Cillian Murphy and the small role of Michael Caine, a superb cast.
If you're looking for a quick movie you can flick on for some entertainment, I wouldn't recommend this one. Yes, it's certainly entertaining to watch, but not a movie you casually watch because you have nothing to do. You really have to sit down for this one, let it grab and amaze you and enter the realm of Christopher Nolan.
Sweet dreams.
