Inception

Summary:

Inception is about what happen when you mess with someone’s mind. A group of people steal somebody’s idea by extracting it from a chosen target. Their attempt backfired because the target knew that they were trying to extract his idea.

As a result, this group of people ended up working for the target. They set up a new target, only this time their goal is not to extract idea from the new target’s mind. It is to put in a new idea into it which is called ‘Inception’.

They set up a team which consist of an architect (The one who design the dream), an impostor, a sedative expert, and the leader himself with his loyal deputy.

The plan was good but the main problem lay with the leader himself. In his sub-conscious mind was a dark secret which he was unable to get rid off; his deceased wife. He was accused of causing the death of his wife (which he didn’t do) and had to leave his children behind in order not to get caught. That idea was so strong that it may have consumed his subconscious mind. Since they were together inside a dream, their subconscious minds were co-related and as such would affect others.

They finally manage to instill the new idea inside the target after almost get themselves trapped in the dream. As to return his favor, the charge against the leader was lifted and he was able to see his children again.

Comment:

When I saw the name Christopher Nolan, the images of surreal cinematography unseen before in silver screen popped up in my mind. Remember The Dark Knight?

At the beginning, he managed to make us wonder a lot of things? We started to question which one is real and which one is just a dream. In the end, those questions were beautifully answered with another big question.

How could you not curse him when the spinner keep on spinning at the end of the story and when the spinner started to wobble a bit, the story ended? So, was it real or was it a dream?

Bravo, Chris! You’ve managed to create a movie that is not just entertaining but also mind blowing. The Matrix, your throne is already taken away…
