When the world that you live in becomes crowded with pure in-originality (if that is really a valid term) and the dull smile on your face is the only improvisation that you enjoy everyday, you will find yourself, like me, dragging your feet to the closest cinema, and buying a ticket to go in a dark theatre and ... dream !The only problem is that you may actually get disappointed, especially during the summer season, where most of the movies being shown are at best as in-original as your life is, and you are probably better off going to bed and having a more relaxing experience !
With that in mind i went to see Inception, a Christopher Nolan film (for those whose been living under a rock, Christopher has a lineup of exceptional films such as Memento, Insomnia, and the re-invented Batman franchise ) and .... i got incepted !
Inception is a story about a mind criminal, who specializes in stealing thoughts, working usually for major corporations, in what's known as industrial espionage. The film takes you into a universe with flexible dimensions, where reality is relative and your dreams are the battlefield for your future, and your past, and the only way to go backwards is to go forwards, or in other words, dream more ! ... confused ? you should be !
To make it more interesting, and confusing, the film examines the possibility of implanting thoughts, through "inception", or planting a thought by infiltrating your mind while you're dreaming, and by the way, this is not about political agenda of third world countries, despite similarities !
The term "Inception" sounds to me like "Conception" and "Infection" being put into one word, as the main character explains " your mind fights inception by creating projections, like your white blood cells fight infection".
To Claim that i understood "Inception" from my first viewing of it, would be hopeful at best, this one will need several times to be seen before i can tell you which part didn't make sense to me, because as confusing the story line was, the damn thing made sense, even at the climax of it's uncertainty, kind of !
This kind of film comes along once every decade, where it defines a turning point in the film making business .
