Imagine that the military invented a way to penetrate the human sleep and even arrange some kind of conference between some sleep. Of course this technology have adopted industrial thieves. Cobb (DiCaprio), one of the best thieves retrievers. And he extracts the idea of sleeping head, such as that which stores the secret papers, or other important information.
Once one of the objects extraction Saito (Watanabe) exposes thieves in his dream and invites them to work. Must not remove, and introduce the idea in my head scion of a rich family of Fisher (Murphy). Golden child should, joining the legacy to destroy energy empire his father. In addition to Cobb in what may be placed in a man's head the idea and make him believe that it was his idea, not so much. But Cobb has no choice. Or, he agreed and had no further problems with the law or it kills the evil corporation, or he gets all his life in prison. To the idea has taken root it should be placed very deep in the subconscious of the object implementation. To do this, Cobb and his team organized a dream within a dream, and again in a dream. То есть три уровня сна. That is, three levels of sleep. This is when a person falls asleep in the first dream, he again falls asleep in the second dream he saw a third dream. Complicated? But feasible, although with difficulty.
Against the backdrop of the fight against subconscious object implementation in Cobb is a fierce battle with his own mind. And in this battle, he confronts his deceased wife and the past, connecting them.
Can you answer the question we sleep or awake, is not whether we live in a world of his dreams and illusions where the boundary between reality and fiction? After this movie I'm afraid that the issues will become even greater.
Now for the main.
But watching it should be mandatory. I was the last time such an impression made "Fight Club" Fincher in 1999. Jaya I could not resist one day twice looked "inception". And every time his hands sweating on the happenings on the screen. This was not with me. A terrific action I have not seen. Now, calmly and in detail.
First - this plot. It is a layered and quite nonlinear, but the complex story is absolutely clear, if the head turn. At first hard to grasp the complexity of movements in sleep, the subconscious level, and other mind games. But by the end of the movie plot is closed and the picture becomes very clear and from this insight emotions are overlapped. Conundrum I do not remember.
The second - an idea. Nolan skillfully in his every film explores the brink of reason. In "Memento ..." it was a memory game, in "Insomnia," they were playing with a physical entity sleep, "Batman: begins" and "The Dark Knight" They were playing with the personality and its splitting into the dark and bright side, "Prestige" They were playing a split personality in the literal sense. The idea of how real world and where the boundary with the fantasy of a very old, but Christopher Nolan has developed it into a very interesting direction. It successfully demonstrated as a man with the power of thought can replace the reality of the dream and go into this so far, that only in a dream can be reality. Complicated? See the movie.
Third - a picture. Taken all just amazing. And most importantly it's not special effects, which, after " Avatar "is difficult to surprise, namely the scenes live without a computer, in a real studio, using the artistic and engineering techniques and optical illusion. I mean all the scenes with the change of gravity (in the car, in the hallway, in the elevator shaft, etc.) Search in the network there are clips from the shooting. And I'll wait for the movie on BluRay with full supporting materials.
Fourth - is the sound and music. Please read what the composer Hans Zimmer has created a full-fledged hero of the film. Sound and music complements the visuals and skillfully emphasizes every movement in the frame. A rare combination of power happened. Zimmer is not for nothing is one of the greatest composers of our time cine.
And finally, the fifth - are actors. In my opinion, all participants selected the film quite well and feeling miscasting I was not. DiCaprio once again confirmed that organic looks at the role of tough guy, not devoid of feeling and touching at the same time. Mariyon Cotillard, personally frightened me with his eyes. Very insane person turned out and very doomed. Strongly liked Watanabe - a typical ruling rich Japanese. Samurai, his mother. The whole team looked retrievers in his place. Even the young Ellen Page as Ariadne - an architect of labyrinths (good joke turned out) looked good.
As a result, to my taste and look closely, this is the most powerful cinema's impressions past ten years. This is more science fiction, and therefore difficult to compare, for example, with brilliant comedy " The Big Lebowski 'or the political drama " Frost v. Nixon "and historical drama" There will be blood ". But in its genre is the best thing I've seen.
My deepest recognition and Christopher Nolan bow. Long life. Create, maestro.
