Inception...

I needed a couple of days to be able to write several sentences about this movie.
First of all, I really don't want to spoil anyone's apetite for it, so maybe if you are waiting impatiently to see it, don't read any further. Just in case :)

Anyway. I definitely liked the movie. It was without a doubt something above the everyday layer of commercial rom-coms, actions, thrillers, even dramas. Something different, although... obviously we can pigeonhole it and put on one shelf with movies like "Matrix" or "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind".

I got, like everyone else who saw the movie (and cared at least a little, and believe me - it's hard not to!) into discussions and arguments about what really happened and how the story finishes, and who is really awake, and where is the reality, and what was just the dream...

After a proper amount of struggle, late going o sleep, reading the forums and reviews, I finally turned to the point that it doesn't really matter what the truth is. In the end, the movie did what it was supposed to do. It incepted an idea into my own, smart and predictable (you'd thought so!) brain and made the director, Christopher Nolan, probably very happy. I can still hear his quiet laughter!

This picture points at us, the audience, lets us experience something, and when we realise what really happened with us, it asks us a question about our own perception of the world around us, about our consciousness and about what we really trust in...


PS On the light side of the movie - I think that Ariadne and Arthur make a cute couple and it's such a pity there was no time in the movie for more romance! Magnetism was in the air... And it's not only me who thinks like that - I know, I researched the forums quite well:)
