The latest edition to the DiCaprio classics, Inception. Another excellently challenging mind film written and directed by Christopher Nolan. DiCaprio has starred in some brilliant films with in the last few years including, Shutter Island and The Departed (both directed by one of my favourites, Martin Scorsese who also directed also directed Taxi Driver and The Goodfellas to name a few), he also starred in Blood Diamond 2006 (directed by Edward Zwick). Titanic quite honestly put me off him as an actor as he became the new heart throb, however now I look for films which he is in. In his recent years his film choice has been excellent and he is a phenomenal actor.
When I first saw it advertised I knew I had to go to see it. i watched it in Pittsfield Massachusetts in a cinema off the main street. Perfect setting for the American "movies". The whole cinematic experience perfectly suited the ambient setting of the film and helped give you a clear layout of what was happening. I particularly enjoyed the "dream architecture", the ability to design someone else's dream with out them realising that is it not their dream or in fact that they are not in control and then invade their thoughts.
The concept behind the film is excellent, it kept me guessing right until the end when it all came together. The story line was interesting, DiCaprio, a successful dream invaded theif was given a chance to prove his innocence for a crime he had not committed. In order for him to see his family again he did the unthinkable, to go deeper than anyone had before.
Excellent film, fantastic ending.
