The DiCaprio special: INCEPTION


Our final stop , the movie that everyone is talking about, literally the whole world is baffled by Christopher Nolan's inception. For me at the beginning when they were shooting for this one , it was nothing more than a movie which delayed the release of the ever expected sequel to the dark knight "GOTHAM" . Been true to myself i thought this movie would bomb at the box office especially with its concept- stealing ideas from peoples minds while they were asleep. I thought to myself another freakish mind bender movie which no one other than a few critics would like. Then the first trailer got released and i was left speechless , then 2nd and third were released and i was left wanting for more . This movie after its release in July have left audiences , movie critics ,film makers and actors alike pondering over the heights to which films can be taken, so much so that it left my idol- film critic Rajeev Masand going on air and asking Aamir khan whether india will ever make a movie like inception . Unlike avatar this movie didn't rely on special effects to capture the audience , it used all the basic elements of movie making to take you on a ride into the world of the Dream.

Here's bit of the story for you to dream about-
Dom Cobb(DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible -- inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

Here's the thing about inception for all those of you have seen it , the riddle of the movie cant be solved , that's the secret Nolan's used . He's created such an ending to a movie where each individual can decipher an ending of his choosing . This movie is an idea born from the great mind of Nolan and make no mistake no other director (even Spielberg) could have pulled this off. His concept of dreams within dreams is executed in such a flawless manner, that it puts diamonds to shame . This movie can even be used as an I.Q test for assessing people , if there are people who failed to grab the concept of the movie , bah don't bother with them and for girls don't go out on a date with a guy who doesn't like inception .

Final word
I am not sure whether i have the right to judge this movie but here's what i say, watch this movie like you were playing a chess game , watching every move carefully and trying to anticipate the next move each time and even with all your concentration this movie will leave you amazed and searching for answers. The last scene is the masterpiece , the icing on the cake . Well this one was definitely worth the wait and batman 3 "Gotham" can wait , cause we are all still stuck in the Dream created by Nolan.

P.s - please don't download a very bad quality print of this movie from the internet for the sake of watching the movie , either catch this one at your local theater or wait for the DVD release cause this is one movie that you want to see in all of its glory.
