If you took your usual Hollywood blockbuster, sliced it into confetti, and then rearranged the strips into something vastly more original and ambitious, you might end up with a thriller like Inception. Written and directed by The Dark Knight’s Christopher Nolan, this enjoyably labyrinthine brainteaser may do for dreams what The Matrix did for cyberspace. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as the oddly named Dom Cobb, an international fugitive who works as an “extractor”—he enters people’s dreams and steals their secrets. Hired by a Japanese tycoon (Ken Watanabe) to do precisely the opposite—to plant an idea in the subconscious of a billionaire’s son (Cillian Murphy)—Cobb puts together an Ocean’s Eleven–style team that includes a Mombasa drug designer (Dileep Rao), a sardonic British forger (Tom Hardy, terrific), and a so-called architect (Ellen Page) who creates the landscapes in which they, and their target, will share a collective dream. (A clue, kids: Her name is Ariadne.) There is, however, one big hitch. Cobb’s own dreams keep being invaded by the thought of his wife (an eerily haunting Marion Cotillard), whose intrusions threaten to shipwreck the whole operation.
Though I'm not a fan of fiction movies, this seems mind blowing type of movie to me! Etxraodrnairy! definitely watching this <3
