Over the weekend I got around to watching the highly anticipated film, "Inception," directed by the master mind behind "The Dark Knight," Christopher Nolan. I went into this film a bit nervous and unsure of one, the level of concentration that would go into watching it [not sure if I felt like putting in the effort!], and two, whether it would match my expectations. And well, a whole lot of concentration was [willingly] involved and it, by far, exceeded my expectations. Nolan does an amazing job in keeping you engaged in the unreal happenings within the human mind. Espionage is one of the largest crimes occuring all over the world and to see it done through extraction of the mind is on an entirely different level, literally.
The film made me so curious about what really goes on in our dreams. It is unfortunate that we can only remember bits and pieces of what we dream at night, not to mention, that we can barely recall how the dream even started. I wonder if people can find their "happy ground" much more easily if they were able to tap into their subconscious?
In any case, I recommend for everyone to see "Inception." It is well cast and a nice change of pace from the typical romance, comedy and action flicks that I am guilty of watching these days.
Definitely a nice deviation from the same 'happy ending' type movies we've been seeing around lately. There's much to appreciate about a movie that elicits engagement and provokes thought from the audience and even more so.. when the ability to keep up is also present ;-). Although the movie focuses on dreams and the ability to plant ideas in the subconscious, in the general scheme of life, it speaks a lot about what happens when someone plans a doubt in your mind or an idea that although you might not think affects you or guides your actions--controls your life in indirect ways.
