The Gift that Keeps On Giving

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2017)

The more I watch Inception, the more surprised I am at how many layers it has. Upon first viewing, it seems to be a labyrinthine science fiction action film that gives you a lot to think about. However, when you've got it all figured out, what is there left to analyze? The fact that the entire movie is a meta-narrative about making movies. Each member of the team is a part of a film crew in some way and they bring the viewer into the world of their dream so that they subconsciously believe that they are watching true events. It's an incredible piece of meta-fictional storytelling that also works as a straight up action film. It's a modern classic that will continue to impact new viewers for years to come.
