The proof that cinema can be such a mind blowing and awesome experience!

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2010)

As a film enthusiast I love seeing new things, confusing but sensible plots, along with great acting and directing. I have always been a fan of film music, and I also believe that most of today's "Hollywood films" are more "lovely package but not so much on the ingredients".
I have heard: "Cinema is dead, there is nothing new!" And looking at the remakes of films like Fame, Nightmare on Elm Street and more... I cannot completely disagree. But then comes a true gem like Nolan's Inception, and I smile and shout: YES!!!! This is what cinema is all about! Mindblowing experience, great script, great acting, great art direction, costumes and fantastic music, but most importantly: a director capable of having all this totally under control and doing such a great job. Christohper Nolan: I salute you for this masterpiece - because that is what Inception is: a masterpiece. Best film I've seen in ... such a long time.
The idea itself: being inside someone's dream/thoughts and stealing information/planting something... is simply amazing. But I was a bit skeptic about this being put on screen - how do you visualize this and hand it to the audience on a believable plate? Well, the answer is Chris Nolan. Without a doubt, he's now among my favorite directors. A guy who directs Memento, Insomnia, The Prestige and The Dark Knight outdoes himself with Inception... you rank there deservedly Mr. Nolan: in the top! I've always believed in DiCaprio and his acting abilities, partly underestimated actor but greatly revived by Scorsese and now Nolan makes the best of his abilities. An actor like Gordon-Levitt amazed me with his super cool wit and action and acting, Tom Hardy was fabulous, Page and Murphy both great... Watanebe fantastic. One of this year's greatest casting, if not the best.
Hans Zimmer is among my favorite composers... his score is amazing.
Everything really is "10 out of 10" in this film. If you like great acting, see Inception. If you like great direction and writing, see Inception. If you wanna see something new, see Inception. Never mind these "Ifs"... just see this movie. It's impossible not to love :)
