Inception

Inception was amazing, I was in some pain as I needed to use the rest room while watching it but couldn’t get myself to go and miss a couple of minutes because that’s how into it I was.  I held in my bladder for a good hour too, so that can’t be healthy but it was so worth it.  The movie was paced very nicely and I never got bored with it at any time.  The effects were awesome and a lot of them just looked like they actually did something with anti-gravity like in an airplane or something because I don’t know how they did some of the action sequences in the movie. I feel like this could be one of those movies that I watch repeatedly every year and find a new little thing that adds to my already enjoyable experience of this movie.

I don’t really want to write a review since that might require me to describe scenes in order to demonstrate my enjoyment.  Instead, I’m going to talk about the actors because this movie has some actors who happen to be some of my favorites ones working right now which include, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Cillian Murphy although all of the actors played their roles wonderfully.  You can’t say too much about Dicaprio though, it’s like a written fact that he’s good, no matter what sort of movie he’s in.  His career has been stellar and this movie just adds to his impressive career.  Joseph Gordon-Levitt reappeared onto my radar after 500 Days of Summer, but before then I haven’t heard much of him ever since he played the old soul trapped in a young man’s body in 3rd Rock From the Sun.  I enjoyed watching him perform on 3rd Rock when I was young but after that I didn’t see him in anything and it’s a shame because he’s a great actor. He plays the cool, serious guy quite well in this movie and I would understand if girls flocked to him more after they see him in this.  I think Cillian Murphy is an underrated actor who should be able to star in more movies, but he did his role well as he showed great vulnerability and he was sympathetic although being the victim to the inception in the movie.  While at the same time, he didn’t appear weak at all, and I think it made his character better.  Lastly in my ramble on my favorites actors of this movie is Marion Cotillard whom I find strongly magnetic.  There’s just something about her that is alluring that I can’t quite put my finger on, it could be the French in her I don’t know.  I first saw her in La Vie en Rose and she played Edith Piaf well but she wasn’t particularly attractive in the movie, in looks anyway, but you felt drawn to her presence which made the movie work that much more.  With Inception, she has a dangerous allure about her and she can look very feminine at one moment and downright scary the next.  Being that English is her second language, she did amazing I thought.

I strongly recommend watching this movie, and watching it multiple times.  I would hope it beat Avatar for the overall gross for a movie, but I doubt that.  Still, this is a great movie and I think a favorite for this year.
