Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2012)

"Incredible-Nolan keeps improving and Inception is by far the best improvement" by drakula2005 (July 9, 2010), in the website IMDb "General Idea of selection", shows the author's positive comments about the science-fiction film, Inception. The film describes a male skilled thief who is good at stealing valuable secrets from others deep dream state. One last job, inception, could make his dream come true if he surely accomplishes the impossible task.
In the article, the author not only mentioned the director, the cast and the characteristics of this film but also pointed out how difficult to understand the film which was full of remakes and reboots. We totally agree with the author; however, it is not complete enough. If we watch this movie deeper, we could really realize how sensational it is. Therefore, to explain it in detail, we are going to discuss Inception in three aspects- the motif, the writer and the actor. First of all, similar to The Matrix, Inception presents illusion and realities in its topic. Differentiating from Inception, The Matrix indicates that the real world is absolutely right. Second, the writer Christopher Nolan, also the director, exactly excels in vague realities. For example, in The Dark Knight, he reveals that the truth is not perfect and people need a simulative justice. As to Inception, living in the reality or illusion is not important; it only depends on what you think in your mind. Finally, the actors also made Inception successful. The main actor-Leonardo DiCaprio is the spotlight. He became famous overnight due to his handsome face and great charm in Titanic. However, he got rid of the old image after he showed up his superb acting in Blood Diamond and Shutter Island. Today, he really does a lifelike interpretation in this complex film. By these three factors, a fantastic masterpiece shows up.
In conclusion, Inception is worth recommending. The actors' performing skills, the great script and the director make the film successful. It offers a possibility that human could one day be the creator of their own worlds. Every time you watch it, you will have different thoughts.
