"Inception," at its most basic, is two things. It is a heist film dressed in science fiction conventions; and it is a study of a man trying to free himself from a near-suffocating past. "Inception," at its more complex, is a cerebral pop-masterpiece. It is an enthralling combination of thought-provoking, layered story-telling and sumptuous aesthetics enhanced by near-flawless editing, sound design, effects, and musical score. Driven by a pitch-perfect cast and the confident directorial hand of Christopher Nolan, "Inception" is a brilliant and unrivaled piece of filmmaking.

En film jag velat se igen sekunden efter jag såg den första gången.

Inception is a once in a lifetime film. One that is entirely original, brimming with invention, excitement and most importantly of all a combination of the old that paves way into the new. Perhaps overtly complex on first watch, multiple re-watches reveal levels of detail not found initially, leading to a far more rewarding viewing experience. The closest to it is Pulp Fiction but then again the chronology of that film is muddled so yet Inception could indeed be held by higher standard. Inception is part drama, action and thriller. Each level of the dream attempting a different tone and distinctive colour palette. Nolan goes big and it actually pays off. In fact as far as epics go it does not get much better than this.

Its a fact that this is the crowning jewel in Nolan's filmography.

Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind
But make it for intellectuals

Why is it so important to dream?

who would win? leonardo dicaprio OR one spinny boi

I went through this phase where I didn’t see what everyone saw in Inception. I found it immensely overrated. 

Now, every single time i revisit it, and as soon as the credits roll, I think the same thing: 

“Yeah... She an enthralling and complex bihhhh.”
