Inception

Salutes Christopher Nolan for churning out such a fantastic script and directing it even more crisply. It just shows how an idea in a script can speak volumes irrespective of an ensemble cast,minimal special effects and gyrating action sequences.A heist on the brain by planting a seed into one's dream and eventually control an individual. And icing on the cake would be to control ones dream through a fake dream. The labyrinth can't get more dense.

Leonardo DiCaprio says and I quote " When Christopher Nolan calls you up and says 'Look, I want to do a film that delves into the dreamscape, that delves into four different stages of the human subconscious, that is existential at times, it’s cerebral, surreal, and I want to do it on a grand Hollywood scale', you say ‘Okay, where do I sign?'"

The soundtrack of 'Inception' by Hans Zimmer keeps you transfixed !!!

P.S.:  In retaliation to the review in the New Yorker

When Christopher Nolan advocates that he wanted to make a heist movie which has high octane Hollywood entertainment, I don't understand the travesty of a Film Critic who just tries to embroil "the art of creative script writing" by referring it to be marred by repetitive mundane action and explosion sequences.
If this Critic had taken the trouble of referring to Nolan's thought behind creation of the script, he would have understood that Nolan didn't want to boil the ocean and build surreal dream sequences.He wanted to keep things grounded and be deeply rooted by a set of rules with things people understand and focus on the idea that dreams are created and perceived by people at the same time so much to the fact that the background and wordings are also created by themselves.

Ridley Scott, Gus Van Sant, Lars Von Trier, David Lynch, M Night Shyamalan have their own way of interpreting things. Why is the sublime art of scripting and directing threatened if one has the ability to keep an audience engrossed all throughout ? And the critic also goes to the length of criticizing Hans Zimmer's score. I think he has never surrendered himself to high pitch rock/ trans in a concert/ discotheque.
