I have never seen a movie so stunning and so abstract as Inception.

This is a not a movie you would watch while running on the treadmill, or while playing on your laptop or iPhone, or while doing push ups every time you hear a "thug" sound. I must say that this is a very intellectual movie you got to be comfortable on your couch, never mind the pop corns, because it will make you think deep.
The first thing that came to me when I watched this movie was that it was a subject of mind conspiracy, like planting chips on the brain, brainwashing, etc. (all those delirious thoughts you see in psychological movies). Then suddenly when the movie jumped into the subject of dream within a dream, everything turned abstract. It was like those abstract paintings where you don't really need to understand what the exact meaning of the painter was; it was up to you to understand. Then the subject got more complicated when the characters started discussing about how all that project works, etc. But in the end, I realized what this movie was all about.
This is a movie that portrays the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious mind of an individual in a technical yet creative way. It tries to unravel the extent of one's dream and differentiates dream from reality. It is a movie that projects how you imagine dreaming within a dream into the screen. This is a proactive movie because you are watching the characters' experiences while having your own outside of the screen. This movie leaves you with the question: What happens if I can't get out of my dream? Then you go ahead and create speculations and ideas. And you research more about the aspect of dreams and of the mind. Then you realize that this is not just a movie. It is a tool for you to learn more about the mind as it has opened a window of curiosity.
Inception is a very imaginative, thought-provoking, informative, and intellectual movie and no one does it better than the movie genius himself, Christopher Nolan.
