Introduction

Leo DiCaprio is like Aamir Khan of Hollywood. He follows the rule of doing just one thing and doing it right. You will not see him in every other movie. Sometimes you won’t see him for years at all. But when you see him, you don’t want to see anything else at all.

On this day, Inception got released. For the first time, people witnessed a legendary concept, right from the depth of the Lost City of Eldorado, Golden. People took it the way it was meant to be.

Our review for Inception is 9/10.


After Release

The film gave birth to god knows how many thousands of memes. So many troll pages were circulating those posts, and people were engaged in them. They laughed, discussed, and told other people about the movie, just like what happened to sacred games and Mirzapur. The memes are 50% reason of why so many people love these series. The scene of Cillian Murphy and Leo DiCaprio conversing in the bar caught the attention of the member community, and then it all started.


Trivia

At one moment, the film gets so confusing that Japanese broadcasters had to put a number count of the dreams in the upper right corner of the screen to cut the confusion.


Plot Summary

Cobb is a con artist who manipulates people by getting into their dreams and steals business secrets. However, because of the same, he suffers from mental pressure due to his problems with his wife. A businessman gives him a task. This time he has to plant an idea into someones’ head using his dream manipulation techniques.


A thank you note to the director

This film has so many things to talk about, and if I talk about them all at once, this review will turn into a novel. But out of them is the most critical thing of this movie; direction. I know what you might be thinking. It’s Christopher Nolan. There’s a rare chance of him making a bad movie. I know, but still, I want to give my compliments to his work. Every scene, every frame, and every pixel of the film was carefully crafted and beautifully portrayed. Nolan made every actor do their best job. Acters might be good at acting, but the director tells them what to act like.

An enormous credit of the film’s success goes to the writers. No kidding, this movie required some earnests quality writers because with all those twists and turns in the plot and layers of dreams in the dreams, anyone could have gone wrong and blew up the whole movie in one shot. That did not happen with inception, which only means one thing; Those writers did some actual writing back there.


Acting

Leonardo DiCaprio deserves Oscar for inception too. He knew he was the center point of the movie and will get the audience’s full attention. With that attention came an enormous responsibility of doing whatever he can to make the role evergreen. Playing a con artist in a movie is never an easy job. You can’t be loose at any point in time. People will notice that immediately and fingers will get pointed point-blank. Conman roles require outstanding dedication and attention to detail. Here, again, Nolan did the job of detailing very well.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s supporting role was perfect. He was matching shoulders with Leo every time they were in the scene together. He looks so different in this film. I remember seeing him in the movie Don Jon (2013). In Inception, He seems more like a supporting actor (Maybe it is a direction trick to let people focus on the main character). However, in Don Jon, you’ll see a whole different version of him.

Cillian Murphy plays a sick son of a businessman. In contrast to his current role in Peaky blinders, I must say he is one hell of an actor. His unique facial expressions are the key to his marvelous acting. In this film, too, he is up to the mark. I’ll say the same for Tom Hardy as well. I liked them both.


Sequels

Right now, there is no news or official announcement from the creators about subsequent parts of Inception. I also think this was a one-time thing, and it is better that way. Please don’t believe in the rumors.


Conclusion

When it was released, Inception was the only movie based on the concept of dream manipulation. After a decade of its release, it remains the only movie based on the idea of dream manipulation.
