Inception, the stuff dreams are made of

This review is on Inception, words cannot express the greatness that I saw in this movie. Christopher Nolan has done it again, creating the masterpiece that is Inception. This movie is full of twist and turns, that delves deep into the recessions of the mind having you think and still enjoy the movie. Inception is very complex giving layers upon layers of detail but allows you to easily follow. This movie reminds me of a 3D puzzle, when upon finishing the puzzle your actually starting to build a second layer of puzzle forming another picture, then adding other layers forming different pictures until it is complete showing the grand architecture of the puzzle. I had in the past made fun of "DeCrapio", in all honesty he is not a bad actor. The movies that he has starred in have been some of the greats in the past. Inception is no exception to the list of good movies that he has been in. Leonardo DeCaprio, playing roles like this, and showing how polished his acting skills are. He is definitely shaping up to be one of the greater actors of our time. Ellen Page has come a long way since Juno (which wasn't long ago) A movie of this magnitude, and the great work that she did will be key in landing her in bigger roles. Joseph Gordon Levitt, who I have not scene much of recently was absolutely remarkable. He played his role as if he had been acting with this level of skill his entire career. So it is safe to say that the acting was more than just spot on, there is little praise that I can give that could show the quality of the acting that I had witnessed. This movie can potentially be a large stepping stone for these two actors to further their careers. Inceptions plot line is simple but highly complex (if that makes any sense...) Leo and his team do certain jobs of invading peoples dreams and steal ideas from them. The world that is created by the architect of the dream is so real and life like that the person who is dreaming would never know they were asleep. But I don't want to give anything away, there is little that I can say that can explain without giving much away. The first ten minutes of the movie sinks you right into the world and throws your head for a loop. But is easily caught onto and even easier to follow. But this tool that Leo uses is not limited to just them, from what I caught onto anyone can use it which would be a scary and dangerous thought. Upon leaving the theatre I heard people say that they didn't like it, these people I would come to think had very little or lack of imagination. They need everything to be drawn out in crayon and numbered, they are to simple to think deeper about a story's meaning. Or even allow their minds to think for themselves and decide what to believe. People like that piss me off for their lack of vision. While still leaving the theatre I admit my eyes became slightly watery for the joy that I had felt for seeing this movie. It has been a long time coming where I can consider another movie to be added to my list of "Greats" and I will gladly clear a spot on my shelf for this movie. I have scene so much garbage to finally find the treasure that I had been looking for. I give this movie a 5 out of 4 I found my unicorn, it didn't take as long as I thought it would, but I found it. I encourage everyone to see this movie and open your mind to the endless possibility's that it possesses. Remember, the only thing that limits you is the vastness of your imagination.
