I and Jayasurian went for 'Inception' yesterday. We reached 10 minutes early and watched all those people, you know what I mean, going around all excited about watching the movie. The movie started off confusing. Where are these guys, what are they trying to do. Why is there so much chaos ? Then as the story slowly starts to reveal itself, the complexity of the script is exposed. Wonderfully crafted and nicely told. It closely knits to the stuff that we have experienced. Like waking up in the middle of a dream when you life is threatened.
Adding other people to a dream is like social networking :) . Some parts where confusing as well. Like the part where Arthur constructs a loop to defeat an assassin when he is not even in his dream. But those things are trivial when you consider the effort put in for the movie. Visually it was a treat, it made you think.
Joseph Gordon Levitt was awesome. I loved him from the days of '3rd Rock from the Sun'. Ellen Page was ok. Ken Watanabe was great as always. Leo did justice to his part. A surprise was Tom Hardy, who I thought did a nice work.
Memento is still a better movie !
