Inception


(How suave does Joseph Gordon Levitt look here? *swoon*)
Today I walked out of the theater gushing about the film I had just seen. It was the first film in months, perhaps in a few years, which I had seen in the theater which truly made me want rave on and on about it. So you may be asking yourself, what was this magnificent film that I saw? Inception, is the name. This is one of the those films which makes you repeat over and over while walking out of the theater, "holy crap! That was brilliant!" I don't want to give much away about the film, half of the charm is that it leaves you spell bounded and questioning everything, but the basic premise is it is centered around people who use technology to influence other peoples dreams. That is all I can write about the plot without spoiling the whole thing. Inception stars Leonardo Dicaprio, Joseph Gordon Levitt (who I am totally crushing on), Ellen Page, and Marion Cotillard. Besides all of the actors giving standout performances, costumes were brilliantly cut (ahem... Joseph Gordon Levitt looked smokin' in his suits...), the musical composition by Hans Zimmer fit every scene perfectly, and the way the movie was film was genius. Inception is one of those films where its complex, but in a good way, you are always thinking to yourself "did that just really happen?" I personally love films which make me think, they are so much better then romantic comedies where you know the ending by the second scene in, because they change your perspective on things. So basically what I am trying to say is, get yourself to the nearest multiplex theater and see Inception, it would be impossible to regret watching it. Or if you have seen Inception, what did you think of it?
