Captivating cast and plot

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2017)

Ever wonder what it would be like if you could control your dreams? Seeing your subconsciousness as a reality maybe even confusing the two, well in the film Inception we are taken on a journey of what this would be like. As viewers this film is heavily interactive
As for an artistic value this film did an exceptional job at connecting the viewers to the plot with well thought out camera shots as well as lighting and sound. There are many close ups that let us in on the characters thought processes. The sound stands out and is a constant underlying reminder of what we as viewers should be feeling at any particular moment. The soundtrack is intense yet emotional, tying the simple shots together.
Next we will look at Entertainment value, the film has been awarded in several different categories. It is an intricate but fast paced plot that keeps you from getting bored or distracted. You're always trying to figure what level of dream they are on and whose dream it actually is. This film's cast was well thought out and a lot of talent is displayed.
By examining the educational value you will be surprised on how much you are actually earning even if some of the dream theories are far fetched. Inception plays off the real concept of lucid dreaming but takes it a step or four farther pushing past reality and seeing where the mind can take us.
The last value we will look at is the Literary value, the success of the theme and the meaning behind just another exciting action movie. There could be several themes combed out of this film but a quite obvious one is that our loved ones are never truly gone. We see this when Cobb's is in the deepest layer of the movie and he explains to Mal he couldn't create her as beautiful as she was with all of her imperfections and flaws. He was hurting himself more by keeping her there and he needed to let her go.
In conclusion Inception does an excellent job at presenting all four values into the film keeping it entertaining, artistic, educational but also full of meaning. It has excellent cinematography and unique shots paired with talented actors to give the audience the puzzled effect the director Nolan desired. I would give this film a 9 out of 10.
