by Bridget Barrett, published on July 22, 2010 Dreams are powerful, lucid dreaming is even more profound, Christopher Nolan’s has created an amazing journey with Inception. It pushes all the right buttons for an action packed film noir style emphatic movie. Leonardo Di Caprio, Joseph Gordon, Ellen Page and Marion Cotiland to name few of the outstanding cast that do justice to this outstanding sci-fi film. Dominic Cobb- Leonardo Dicaprio is an expert in his field, able to infiltrate people’s minds and extract important information as a con artist whilst they dream. Gathering the information they need is done with precision within a dream state world. But the dream world can become confused with reality, a surreal state that existed for his wife- Mal- Marion Cotiland which had severe consequences. It’s corporate espionage at its best, DiCaprio – Dom Cobb is a slick businessman that must complete one last job before returning home. He has to influence the dreams and actually alter people’s sub conscious to change the decision and shape the future. Nolan’s produces surrealism by layering one dream on top of another (a dream within a dream) and a memory backlog for Cobb. The heist team that is put together by Dom Cobb take on a big job and have to extract the information from the mark Cillain Murphy and Robert Fischer without being caught, but even in a controlled dreamed world things don’t always go to plan! With buildings folding on themselves and Ariadne – Ellen Page the young trainee architect pulling mirror doors shut then touching them so they shatter to reveal a more familiar surroundings that has painful backdrop memory for Cobb, is not only clever but plays with the human mind. The film moves on to other spell binding cinematic wizardry, fights on ceilings and the team in dream like state suspended in the air in a hotel room; buildings folding onto themselves like a box and moving cars and pedestrians don’t fall down, people are actually walking up a vertical wall. With its stylish locations- Los Angeles, the snowed bound Alps and a strong storyline, bridges and stairways that have a life of their own, and an elevator that takes the characters Frank and Ariadne back to Cobb’s own dream when reaching each floor- states that anything possible in a dream-right! With the strange imagery and the trickery with the law of physics, gravity and space it’s all mind blowing special effects, that is just breathtaking. The tension builds at a nice pace as the main narrative interweaves with sub plots and memory overload but it keeps you guessing right until the very end. Why? Because the truth and illusion element of what’s real and what is really part of the dream world is what actually makes this movie so great. Source: /thecollectivereview.com |
