Inception
{5/5} “An idea is like a virus. Resilient. Highly contagious. And even the smallest seed of an idea can grow. It can grow to define or destroy you.”
Inception, released in 2010
There are people who go into other people’s dreams and steal things from them. They can even create dreams within dreams. But what is even harder, some say impossible, is planting an idea in someone else’s mind — inception. Cobb makes a deal with a wealthy, powerful man in order to return home to his kids — first he must put together the perfect team. It’s both cerebral and breathtaking. If you haven’t seen it, now is the time — it will blow your mind. Stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Directed by Christopher Nolan.
Hans Zimmer’s relentless music heightens the excitement. I particularly like the tracks “Dream Is Collapsing” and “Time.”
This is the second time I’ve seen it.
I previously reviewed Nolan’s movie The Prestige.
