the extreme narcissist

Never before have I been so baffled by a movie. Never before have my brains been scrambled before my very eyes and served with a side of toast and orange juice for breakfast. Never before have I left a movie theatre so awed by a movie, so puzzled but what unravelled before my very beady eyes, so lost for words that I was unable to come up with a sarcastic pun, never before. Ladies and gentlemen, Inception is just about the most mind boggling movie I have ever watched. Not since the first ever twist ending M. Night Shyamalan introduced with the Sixth Sense have I been so minfucked by a movie, so lost for words in which to describe it by. What made Inception so great ? Everything. Writer/director Christopher Nolan, the guy who directed epic movies like the money orgy that was the Dark Night and the lesser known yet shrewdly directed The Prestige , perfected this movie in every single way imaginable. The sheer thought and creative provocation required to conjure up a tale so entwined, contrived, and just about any other big word you can imagine must have been massive. How can I review a movie like this ? To even shed a detail about this movie would be a crime against the movie gods, because unlike almost every other movie out there, it's best to go watch this knowing nothing about it. The storyline behind the movie was epic in every single sense of the word. Look up mind boggling in the dictionary and under definitions, Inception should come up. There are numerous twists and turns throughout the plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat and glued to the action, which is thankfully available in bulk. These twist however, aren't your average cheap twists, no. These twists are concocted with such vile deception that you can't help but sit back and appreciate how brilliant the script for this movie really is. The way the director so coyly pulls the wool over your eyes and kept the main twist under wraps is quite remarkable, because had the distractions not been there, you, me and Dupree would all have noticed and seen it coming. Alas, Nolan wasn't given a USD 160 million budget for nothing now was he? The premise of the movie is simple. A fair warning, anyone who hasn't seen this movie, I took the liberty of whiting out this spoiler part, highlight it with your cursor if you wanna read on. Dom Cobb is an extractor, who goes into dreams to steal ideas for his clients. However, he had to stay away from his kids for a certain reason and is finally given the opportunity to see them again, but this time,by planting an idea in someone's head through a dream, instead of stealing one. So he assembles a team to do just that. Still with me ? Because I'm not. The music for the movie is top notch, almost every scene is highlighted with appropriate music that adds tension and drama with Hans Zimmer teaming up with Nolan again (They were together for the Dark Knight too), the best combination since butter and bread. The acting is also immensely good, with Leonardo DiCaprio starring and delivering a damn good performance alongside the younger but also exceptional Ellen Paige with Joseph Gordon-Levitt stealing the show with a sterling performance in what was his first big blockbuster role. What is Inception ? Mad, insane, contrived, intellectual, confusing, masterful, a masterpiece, mind boggling ? Sure, it's all that and then some. But what stands above all the rest ? Inception is bloody brilliant, a movie you simply cannot afford to miss. If Albert Einstein watched movies, this would have been his favourite. With brilliant music, even better actors, and twist and turns that will rock you to your very core, Inception is quite simply, wait for it, the best movie this decade.
