-infinity to +infinity: Review : Inception (2010)

Whoa! The motion picture of the decade is here. From the director, who brought you ‘The Dark Night’ which is currently is in the 11^th position of all time-best movies, Christopher Nolan, comes a masterpiece which is par excellence and brought out of sheer creativity. Inception, the movie sticks on to your head and even one flicker in your eye might change your discernment.

Christopher Nolan could righteously be called the ‘living legend’, for he has brought us THE motion picture of a lifetime. Perhaps, one must be blessed to have born in the era of Christopher Nolan.

I normally say, watch it for this, watch it for that, but for Inception, i would rather say watch it for everything. The Director has made the impossible possible, he has shown all elements of art in this flick. One of the first movies, where the viewer is literally in the edge of the seat but still tightly glued so as not to fall. In Inception, Nolan does the unthinkable : He folds a mirror version of Paris back upon itself; he stages a fight sequence in a gravity-free hotel room; he sends a train plowing through a busy city street. Whatever you can dream, Nolan does it in Inception. Then he nestles those little dreams into even bigger dreams, and those bigger dreams into gargantuan dreams, going on into infinity, cubed. He stretches the boundaries of filmmaking.

Inception is, by itself, a dream. No human would have ever attempted to think of such a script. Such a subject which is sure to woo even the worst of the movie-haters. Dreams, ever thought the physics of it? Inception shows you the most advanced of the physics but just like how you fail to remember the start of a dream, the movie fails to show the basics of Inception.

Inception is about stealing your secrets when you are in the dream state and when the mark wakes up, he/she has no idea of what happened.

Talking about the technicalities, all are perfect, the visuals, the sound, the editing, the costumes, the sets, the cgi, the camera, one word for all of them, STUNNING! Hans Zimmer has rocked the sound department, Cinematography by Wally Pfister and Editing by Lee Smith (of ‘The Dark Night’ and ‘The Prestige’ fame) is stupendous, no further words to describe their work. Nolan has this specific crew with him in most of his movies and no wonder that they are a part of what they turn out to be, AWESOME.

Coming to the protagonist, Leonardo Dicaprio, the man has been choosy in the selection of his films’ script and director, for he has always worked for the best in business and he delivers, he delivers in a way that you start to adore him for his natural acting. Hats off, Caprio. You are on my all time favourite list.

Christopher Nolan, the first of his kind, eccentric, crazy yet a winner all by himself. I always wondered that someone should come up with a movie about dreams, for dreams have been my forte and from now i will continue to dream to explore Nolan’s cognitive skills unless someone wakes me up with a ‘KICK’.
