Inception

I’m not a moviegoer. Actually, each Time I’m asked about my favorite movie I answer some different. For example, last semester we had to write about the same stuff and I answered “I have no doubt my favorite movie is “el secreto de sus ojos”, a recent Argentinean film. However, recently me and my friends went to the cinema and we saw a movie called “inception”, about we finished saying “wow, what a great movie!” So, because I have not a formed and it’s always changing, I’m going to talk about Inception, because I like it and done.
The protagonist of the film is Leonardo DiCaprio, who even when he could be the same person that he represents in “Shattered Island” makes a good job acting as this typical mysterious, clever-and-mentally-disturbed person who knows everything because he has “suffered” always, etc, etc. This man –his character, not DiCaprio- with another special-and-clever people work in the art of “extraction”, that means they know how to enter in the dreams of sleeping people and put out of their minds the deepest secrets. Of course, they don’t “extract” any secret of the dreams of any person: this job is specially required for great corporations to obtain secrets about their competitors, information that cost a lot of money.
However, the story is about the opposite of that ability: the “inception” implies put an idea into a dream, in the deepest areas of the mind as a “seed” that grow up between the levels of the subconscious and becomes a truth for the person involved in the inception.
The story takes part in a lot of places, because it occurs in the world of dreams, and at dreams inside another dreams, in such a way that the film shows two, three and even four scenarios at the same time, each one with its own time, its own created-world and its own dangerous mission.
The best part of the movie is when there are a kind of three or four dreams at the same time, each one inside another, and each one depends about the characters could accomplish with the missions in each deeper dream. This is a very exciting scene and you need to be very concentrated for not missing something important, because all those different stories get tangled and besides with a great doses of suspense. In fact, if they had died in a deeper dream, they would stay strapped in a “limbo” (alive, but like a zombie) for the rest of the life.
I like this movie because always gets you with open eyes, because you need to be always alert but it doesn’t mean that it would be a sacrifice. The film maintain you fun and because of that it is not difficult follow all this complicated story
