DON'T SEE INCEPTION!!!!!!!

Now that I've got you're attention....


YOU HAVE TO SEE INCEPTION!!!!!!! 


Seriously, why haven't you seen it yet????

It's probably the best movie you'll see in a long time, and while the 2.5 hour length may put you off, the minutes will just fly by (just like a dream).

Actually, there's a lot of parallels between the film and the dream. And that's where you can tell ten years of effort went into this. This movie has been buffed to a mirror shine. Every idea in the movie was carried to the very end, and it never went back on its core. You know how some movies try to have their cake and eat it too? Well, Christopher Nolan has made a cake so amazing, its immortal and everlasting.

In one of my film textbooks, the very first page, said that the magic of movies is that they are a shared dream. And I always loved that idea. I took it to heart. And now, there's a movie about - wait for it - shared dreams!?!?!

That's not to say the idea of real/artificial hasn't been played before. I mean, that's pretty much The Matrix (at least the first movie, the others were just kinda odd). And Eternal Sunshine? Same stuff.

Oh, where are my manners? The movie is about a group of people who are able to enter the dreams of others in order to gain access to their subconscious. This is Psychonauts without the cartoon gags, and more of the action.

I don't want to give too much away, but here's some awesome stuff I took from it:
- relationship between dreams and movies (you are placed in media res, you don't know what you don't see, it can be completely fabricated)

- You start to realize it doesn't matter what the complete story is, you are left with just enough to be happy. 

       - On that note, there are literally many ways for you to interpret this movie, and all can be correct. 

- no sex scenes! None! Romance for sure, but not in a tacked on kind of way. If you know me, I hatehatehate romance stories, especially ones that don't need to be there. Really, Movie X, you just had to show them fucking? Did it add ANYTHING to the story? No. It just puts people in the seats. Inception doesn't need to sink that low
- It's just beautiful and brilliantly creative (set design = fantastico)
- Every piece of the film fits together as a unified being. No contradictions, no loopholes. I think the beaty of that comes from its simplicity. Nolan gives you just enough to understand what's going on, but not too much to mess with the core and get bogged down with specifics (dreamy).

So....why the hell did you waste your time reading this blog post when you could have been watching Inception???
