What to say about Inception? This film left me flummoxed and since seeing it yesterday evening I’ve had a disturbed night and day thinking about it. The hype was massive, I was expecting great things. I was worried I’d be disappointed, largely because of two reasons: it’s a heist movie and it’s a Leonardo DiCaprio movie. Both of these have deterred me for from seeing films in the past, rightly or wrongly. But with Inception (hot on the heels of Shutter Island), I thought that perhaps it was time not to categorise and dismiss Leo in the same way that I had done in the past. And now, with the soundtrack (very effectively done by Hans Zimmer) ringing in my ears, I know I was right. Inception did not disappoint, on the contrary. Just as with Avatar earlier in the year here was another film that made me reassess what a film can give me and what I can take from it.
You can read my review of Inception here – there be spoilers – and let me know what you thought
I trust your taste(considering we are both GyllenFans) so as soon as the movie premieres in my country I’ll go see it.
I don’t like all Leonardo DiCaprio movies,but there are a few that really worth it. Shutter Island is one and then there are Blood Diamond and The Aviator. I’ll try not to read the blog with spoilers,but I don’t know if I’ll manage it.
Hi there Anna! (hope that’s right…)
Do go and see it. I’m seeing Shutter Island for the first time next week and I want to see it now because I know that I can like Leonardo DiCaprio, something Inception taught me.
Inception doesn’t grab instantly, at least not for me, but you’ll find that it seeps under the skin. And now I’m desperate to see it again. So when you see it, work through the beginning – it’ll be worth it.
That is very kind of you to say you trust my taste – thank you for that! I hope you won’t be disappointed. (I could see Jake in a role like Cobb)
