Inception

I have been forewarned by those who’ve watched Inception
of the confusing storyline.

Thus for most of the story I watched wif full attention.

Stars:
Leonardo Dicaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Michael Caine




Story:

Mind-secret-stealing expert Dom Cobb was engaged by a mysterious businessman.
More difficult this time, instead of stealing, he is supposed to do the opposite-
plant the seed of an idea.

Wif the help of his team,
he will have to venture deeply-
several layers of dreams.

Yes, he dared to take up this appointment
when nobody dares becoz he’ve done it before- on his wife.

As the story progress, the past of Cobb come back to haunt him emotionally.
What is the underlying story btw them?
Sit tight, as a contentious ending awaits u at the end of the show.


How I feel:

At the beginning I was quite sianz as I was expecting attention grabbing scenes.
After some patience, the story creeps in.

Great idea to work ard the ‘dream of a person’.
Onli regrets is the complexity as they try to jam pack everytin within 2hrs+

They shld have taken a step back, and clear up confusion.
Instead of just linking everything & presume we’ll understand.

For a while Leonardo Dicaprio appeals to me.
He was always trying to act cool and calm in his other endeavours,
trying to act charismatically to impress.
Total failure.
Where’s tat guy who sank on tat ship?

Yet in his movie, he’ve impressively portrayed tat distressed role.

Cobb also carry wif him a spinning top, as a totem to represent his connectivity wif the reality.
If it spins continuous,
he’s in a dream,
otherwise, in reality.

The movie ends with open-ended conclusion: -
Is Cobb in reality or still in a dream?

He’s in reality becoz~
He wears his ring in dreams, but not in reality.
In the final ending, he does not wear his ring.


He’s in a dream becoz: ~
The two children still wearing the same shirt & still haven’t aged after years.
The spinning top keeps spinning, depicting in a dream.


My Review:

3 1/2 OUT OF FIVE

A good movie, good idea.

Although the plot is complicated and u will have to pay attention.
Isn’t tat wat happens in a dream?
