Inception is a triumph

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2015)

Man, how difficult it is to understand Inception! Inception is such a complex story that you need to watch it at least a few times before you can wholly understand the concept of dreams, in order to understand the whole film! Inception is the movie where I had the most difficulties understanding a story out of any movies I've ever seen in my entire life! Anyways, moving on to what I personally thought of Inception, I thought it was a very good movie. What's good about the film first of all is that Director/writer Christopher Nolan delivers us a story that is gripping, fresh and original. Inception's cinematography is groundbreaking. I thought that Leonardo DiCaprio gave once again a strong performance as professional thief Dom Cobb and so did Marion Cottillard, as Cobb's deceased wife. I thought that showing us a principal character who is tortured by his own roots (while on the movie's central mission with his colleagues), in connection to a love relationship with his wife which suddenly went wrong, added great effect to the movie. The movie succeeds both viscerally and intellectually. The slow- motion is stylishly well done. The characters are likable. The cast is strong. The score is brilliant and fits perfectly with the movie's theme(s). The movie is highly entertaining and satisfyingly complex! Inception is a movie that doesn't let you down one second. From watching this movie I can see that Christopher Nolan is skilled at handling big topics, and he handles it richly and flawlessly! How lucky we are to have a movie director who can manage such a thing! Congratulations Mr. Nolan! My rating for Inception: 8.2/10
