Inception (2010)

When I first did my 366 challenge back in 2016, the whole point of that challenge was to watch one film and after 366 films I never had bothered to watch the one film I set out to watch. I promised myself that even if I didn't accomplish the challenge this time around I was still going to sit down and at one point watch the 2010 film Inception and it happens to be today's film. The film was written and directed by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight Trilogy) and it stars Leonardo DiCaprio (The Wolf Of Wall Street) as Cobb, a master thief who does his dirty work in the dream world thanks to dream sharing technology. Cobb is on the run for a crime he didn't commit, but he is tasked with infiltrating the mind of a CEO in a very dangerous mission, but if he accomplishes it he earns his freedom. The film also stars Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises) as Eames, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Looper) as Arthur, Ellen Page (Hard Candy) as Ariadne, Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai) as Saito, Dileep Rao (Avatar) as Yusuf, Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins) as Robert Fischer, Tom Berenger (Sniper) as Browning, Michael Caine (The Dark Knight) as Miles, Pete Postlethwaite (The Town) as Maurice Fischer, Marion Cotillard (Public Enemies) as Mal, and Lukas Haas (Mars Attacks!) as Nash.

I honestly can not believe that it took me 10 years to literally watch the film Inception because what a movie this was. Christopher Nolan is definitely one of the best writers/directors on the scene and this was definitely one his masterpieces. First off, the story is amazing as Leo and co. push the boundaries of the dream world, the repercussions they can have, and just how delicate it is. The second thing they presents us with the plot which is to convince Robert Fischer to turn over his empire, they present all of the subplots, and all of the turning points in the film successfully do what it was they were supposed to do in the first place. The third thing is that they assembled a great cast for the film and everyone did absolutely fantastic with their amazing acting. The fourth thing is the idea overall for the sets had to be a painstaking experience for them especially with all the details and of the manipulation that was needed was just out of this world. I honestly do not know what else can be said about the film, but there is a nice twist at the end that makes you question some characters. If you have not yet seen Inception then you do not know what you are missing out on as this is definitely the best film of the challenge that I have watched so far. The film is currently available to watch on Netflix, but you need to devote some serious time with this one. I am going to give the film an A+ for a final grade because it deserves it.
