Wow! What a ride. It took Christopher Nolan ten years to write this script and I can certainly see why. It is intricate to say the least. The inner workings of people subconscious is serious and imaginative stuff to tackle. The visuals in this film are stunning. They are not just used to show off, they are integral to the plot which is confusing, I won’t lie. The movie is part psychological drama, part heist and part action. All parts working at the same time. I was kind of annoyed with the ending, I wanted a clear resolution and there was much room for interpretation. This could also be seen as the beauty of the film, you could probably watch it several times and come up with different theories. Leonardo DiCaprio is Cobb a guy who is able to enter others dreams and extract ideas and information. An extremely wealthy and powerful man has hired Cobb to use his dream crashing to plant an idea into the mind of the heir to his rival’s company. This idea would eventually lead to the break up of his father’s corporation. Cobb agrees to the job and puts together his team. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is his old time right hand man Arthur. Tom Hardy is Eames the forger and Ellen Page is the newbie hired on as the architect Ariadne. Ariadne quickly realizes the reason Cobb can’t be the architect is because his dead wife continues to enter his subconscious while he is dream crashing and as you can imagine, she screws shit up big time. The dream within a dream within a dream is where it gets really crazy. Sounds nutty right? Well it’s a fun and confusing ride. A visual spectacle with much to analyze afterwards. My personal fave super sexy Tom Hardy, scene stealer. Four Fists.
