A Dream come True

'Twas a grey Saturday, clouds looming low over the sombre city of Madras, (I don't care what the old fart who simply refuses to die thinks, it'll always be good ol' Madras to me) and it was decided that it was time we saw another movie. We got a bunch of equally jobless oafs to accompany us, and Satyam Cinemas got itself filled with die-hard Nolan fans who gripped their popcorn bags tight to hold on to their little anchors of reality, their own mass produced mouth-watering totems, as the iconic Warner Brothers shield wobbled into corporeality. Inception is an epic movie, the much awaited event of the year when Christopher Nolan, the genius of our time, unleashed the latest behemoth that steamrolled into the box-office, taking the world by storm, pushing through the sky high expectations that weighed upon his shoulders. As an undeclared work on science fiction, unlike others in its genre, it refuses to explain the science, focusing on the fiction instead, leaving the physics of his wonderful world to our imagination, something that his Prestige set the stage for earlier. Nolan has a standard cast, good actors are a gem too few, and Leonardo DiCaprio wormed his way into this elite club of silverscreen heavy-weights through a flawless performance in his role of an architect of dreams, the "extractor" of intelligence, devoted husband, loving father, and a curious analyst of the mind who burrows into the deepest crevices in the human psyche. He is tasked upon the inception of an idea in another's mind, I simply won't reveal more, a tricky and dangerous journey into a mind willing to defend itself at all levels of invasion. As dreams build on, the complex storyline unseen since Memento grips you by the neck and plunges you into a world where anything is possible, from the streets of Paris folding unto itself, to dead wives sabotaging your every move.. The scale is huge, the budget limitless, and cast impeccable and Nolan; all your ingredients for the perfect movie. Watch it, or God kills a puppy everyday you don't.
