Inception - A resilient parasite??

 

     Inception. As the name suggests, it was going to be a confusing movie in my language. But being a Nolan fan, and also a fan of sci-fi action movies, and whatever the movie was hyped to offer, i decided to watch it during the second week.

    Now to be frank, I had a lot of expectations before watching the movie. When you have a blabber-mouth for a friend who criticises everything to be anything other than 'good', come to you with exaggerated opinions calling it a masterpiece, it makes you wonder a few things. First, what does she know of Nolan to watch just one movie and call it a master-piece? Second, what were you doing till now - your friend comes up to you with praises for one of your most cherished directors, and you cant approve or even relate to the movie?!.... I went to see the movie the following weekend.

    I gotta tell you, this was a dream come true!.. From the first moment till the last, i was glued to the screen like a leech, not even willing to get up in the interval in the fear of loosing the first scenes of the second half. And this man to the left, what a splendid performance by him!! As Dom Cobb, he has portrayed a well-established skilled thief with emotional problems that he cannot handle, with a  breath-taking but assertive feel. 

   The rest of Cast is also astounding. I was personally not a fan of Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Tom Hardy. But this performance of theirs has changed everything. To fulfill the requirements of theirs characters, which includes limitations added to their abilities, so perfectly, is an extraordinary feat! Both Hardy and Levitt require special attention from the world, and their performance i think will reflect in the next Batman film 'The Dark Knight Rises', for which i expect atleast one of these brilliant actors, if not both, to make a comeback with Nolan. 

This movie has all it takes to be called Nolan's master-piece to date. From a fresh idea to slick editing, mesmerising special effects and snappy screenplay, this film is a visual treat to the ignorant. To a more mature audience though, this movie means something more. To want for creativity is not wrong, in fact in my opinion it is the job of every director to deliver in these terms. In this day of stereo-type stories and numb-skulled raw action movies, Inception is nothing less than an extraordinary undertaking from Nolan!

Bravo!!.......
