First of all I've only seen this movie twice in theater & i feel like i barely deserve 2 write this review since it feels like an never ending dream that you can't fathom. Lenardo Dicaprio has truly become the best actor of the past 5 years between Inception Shutter Island Revolutionary Road Body of Lies & Departed. These all started showing his emotional depth & turmoil with reality of the outside world. Revolutionary Road really started him on an almost unconcievable reality vs dreamlike state. Inception really shows where he has been able 2 act perfectly fine but somehow be able 2 allow himself be attacked easily & allow others 2 see the pain he's going through. Ellen page has become the true doll and wondering beauty that i hoped she would grow into, shes become more than just a teen movie star & in this she showed how she can assess others weaknesses & try 2 help them before they lose their mind as Dicapprio does but barely shows it. The movie worked for me on the emotional level, logic level, visual, & just was a true mind bending movie that eats @ you. The movie can never truly be assessed when you're watching since you'll miss one o the many levels of exposed elements & there's just so much @ each of the 4 levels in the stages o sleep they have to break into.
My favorite part of the whole movie was the spinning little top that showed when one was in someone else's dream. Now i don't think anyone can truly have a spoiler since no one really knows what this fabricated dream means. What i gather is that Dicaprio is always in some form of his wife's created dreamland. Now he wasn't when they were trying 2 plant an idea, for inception. But he can't distinguish what she wants for him truly, and the ending & beginning link itself in a weird way but i think does it perfectly. The last 5 minutes are my fave part since none of my friends will admit that I'm right. The truth is staring us right in the face, you just have to think from the standpoint of his wife Cotillard, a deserving Oscar for her role. Pay attention 2 her words towards the end. The other actors all deserve quite a nod for this awesome fights( Levitt), goofy charm (Tom Hardy) & mafia hard sternness (Ken Watanabe). I don't go a day without thinking about this movie. This truly is like a disease that you can't stop dreaming and thinking about.
