For a film that was released relatively recently, got so much audience attention and won four Oscars tonight was the first time I sat down to watch Christopher Nolan’s Inception. It is easy to see why this film is so popular and for those of you that have seen it me saying that it takes multi plot storytelling to another level will realise just how much of an understatement that is. For those of you that haven’t seen this film the following is the Warner Bro synopsis
‘Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.’
The visual elements of this film are unlike anything I have seen in a film before and the performances were honest and believable. The only thing that troubles me and intrigues me most about this film like so many audience members before me is the moment before the credits role. You have to watch it to know what I mean.
