Went to the cinema decided I wanted something upbeat and humorous so asked for a ticket for “despicable me” but found when I got to the screen I’d actually got a ticket for Inception … it was like this dream I had once where I was a anthropomorphic pig flying biplanes … or was that Porco Roso.
Anyway by that point I didn’t feel like going back and arguing about it so went into see Inception.
That’s a wild film a great cast although caprio is a bit detached in his performance though I guess it fits the story. Inception is about a group of people that enter other peoples dreams to steal secrets which is called an extraction. The group get’s a job to do the supposedly impossible an Inception which is to plant an idea in someones head and make them think it was their own.
The film then follows the team in the attempt the prepwork acting to intro the characters and set the scene introduce the concepts of the dream world and how it works. Then we follow the team into the dream world and their attempts to achieve Inception all the while unraveling the tattered psyche of DeCaprio and uncovering the truth about his past.
I won’t say too much as that would spoil the film and a lot of its appeal is in its world crafting. It is a film that operates on multiple levels and has some fun tweaks where the various levels of the dreamworld interact. I loved the end as well.
Anyway go out and see Inception it’s great not quite to “primer” levels of twisted worlds but it makes you think it illustrates a fascinating idea.
