Inception Spoiler Review
This sci-fi action thriller from critically
acclaimed director Christopher Nolan grossed over $800-million in all, and of
which quickly became one of the highest rated films and most certainly one of
the highest rated thriller of all time.
If you have had the opportunity to watch Inception
then you most likely have had some sort of confusion in regards to the concept
and ending of the film. As for a quick plot synopsis, Leonardo DiCaprio is
Dominic Cobb - a man who is tasked to sneak into someone's dream, and plant an
original idea in the furthest depths of their mind - a practice known in the
film as "inception".
Cobb recruits a team, and by using a
dream-within-a-dream approach, which was cleverly executed by director
Christopher Nolan, they attempt to navigate the subconscious world of their
target, and plant an idea that'll benefit Cobb's employer.
While the plot is very well detailed, and
complicated and requires full attention- it isn't actually hard to understand
or follow-along. Inception's most impressive accomplishment is not in the
engrossing and captivating story, or the jaw dropping visuals but rather the
chilling accuracy in which it's able to live a long-lasting impression on the
audience
There are a ton of theories being tossed around
the about the ending of Inception and
what really happened, the two biggest debates being whether Cobb was
still in a dream or did he in fact return to his children in the “real world.”
Throughout the film, Cobb continues to obsess
about spinning the top and verifying reality – however, at the end of the movie,
he spins the top and walks away
from it before he can verify if it stops spinning or not. His kids come running
in and Cobb couldn't care less about if it is reality or not he just wants to
be with his children, in whatever place he can be with them.
Overall, the main purpose of Inception is meant
to leave you thinking and questioning the nature of reality and the ending
enables you to do that.
