“Inception”  It is my understanding that Christopher Nolan took 10 years writing his screenplay for Inception!  I completely understand this because the movie is just brilliant on so many levels.  I’m not even sure on where to begin.

Leo (Cobb) is a thief who steals corporate secrets through the use of dream-sharing technology.  Leo and his team is given the impossible task of planting an idea into the mind of a dying CEO.

Did I lose you?

I must get this Question off my chest!  Was the entire thing a dream?

What was this movie even about? I will admit I didn’t fully understand it and that’s okay b/c 4 years later I can still blog about it.

All I understand is…”A Dream, within A Dream within A Dream within A Dream”…wait Is that right?

It’s #5 because:

1) The cast is unfreakin believable, Please see above!  Leo steals my heart again!!!

2) The story!  Dreams & Reality. Reality within dreams Dreams without reality.

3) The Cinematography is breath-taking  Not sure what I’m referring to?  Watch/Re-watch the Hallway scene!

4) Christopher Nolan!  “The Dark Knight” “Memento” are you kidding me!

5) The Roller Coaster Effect:  Christopher Nolan takes you on for the ride of your life!

My one complaint, but it’s a small one!  I dislike Ellen Page – Sorry Ellen The rest of the “Inception Cast” was above your pay grade.

So let me ask again!  Was it all a dream?  How do you explain “Inception?”
