Inception
So me and everybody else in the universe saw Inception this weekend and it was so good.
Getting the movie however was an entirely different experience. Me and my friends had walked down to faneuil hall and were planning on seeing the movie at Lowes Boston Commons but then we decide to go see it at Fenway instead, so we walk down to the Copley stop (past Lowes) and several T stops and then take the T to Fenway. Then when we get to the theater the 7:30, 8:00 and 9:00 are all sold out and the next showing isn't until 10:55 or something crazy like that. Then we decide to call the Commons and see if those showings are sold out and they were except they decided to add another showing at 8:45 so there were 200 tickets available, so then are friend who was meeting us at the theater had her dad drive us back down town where we buy our tickets at like 8:00 after we go and get snacks we come into the theater like 20 minutes early and the theater is already packed. We end up sitting in the fourth row in the seats all the way on the right. I like sitting close but the angle from the seat was a little bit odd.
Back to the movie, it was really good and I found so many of the scenes to be visually stimulating, especially the dreams within a dream that caused for gravity to shift, especially all the scenes in the hotel.
I just sat there captivated by the beauty of the scenes and the use of colors throughout the movie, and the way that they played with time had me just sitting there in awe.
The way the movie combined simple ideas with the complexities of dreams was the most intriguing part of the film to me. Falling could get you out of dream, carrying a totem in order to know if you were in reality or a dream, the way mentioning a secret or a safe within a dream would make the person in the dream lock all of their deepest darkest secrets in that safe which at times seemed simplistic but in reality were just simple.
The genius of the movie was that it had the audience guessing the entire time of whether or not the current moment was real or just in some one's dream and their were no characters to really trust because they constantly were testing each other.
Something I thought was really funny in this movie was how all of the male leads were flirting each other, my friends said this was just my imagination, but the whole time all of the characters especially the forger was flirting with everyone. This is probably just me however and isn't an actual part of the movie.
Most of the truly scary moments in this movie came from Marion Coltillard who was played homage to (kind of) with the use of "Je ne regrette rien" as the song that let the characters know it was time for a jump, but there were some scenes were she was so frieghtiening and knowing that she was just a dream didn't make her constant empty stares, suicide speeches and killings any less scary. It was like she could trap me in her web of false reality.
The end of this movie didn't bother me at all because it let you choose in a way what was real or not, even though it seemed so obvious in the film that Leo always had reality on his side. A really good movie that had such visually stimulating scenes, I really hope the make a sequel because this cast was amazing and I didn't hate Ellen Page for once.
