Inception Part One

The year is 2000, and there is one smaller movie makings its way around the festival circuit. It wins awards and gets rave reviews. The film is called Memento and its director is a young 30 year old named Christopher Nolan. The films plot moves in two opposite directions. The black and white scenes unfold in chronological order, while the in color scenes go backwards, beginning with a man shooting another man. The film goes backwards and we discover why Leonard Shelby (played incredibly by Guy Pearce) kills the man.

Fast Forward to summer 2008.

The Dark Knight has just made one of the biggest opening weekends in box office history. People are going crazy for the latest installment into the film history of the iconic character Batman. Oddly, it isn't only comic book and super hero fans praising the film. Its everyone. Christopher Nolan has just made a super hero movie into something much much more than that-an insightful, complex crime drama with Gotham city as his backdrop.

Its now two years later and the genious that is Christopher Nolan is putting out a new movie. INCEPTION. Now I have been following this movie since...well since it's inception almost two years ago. Almost all details had been completely sealed up from the general avid movie fanatic public until a few months ago, but needless to say I and many other wild film freaks are dying for its July 16 realease to be here now.

Lets talk about the plot AS WE KNOW IT NOW.

Leonardo Dicaprio leads a team of theives, they are a very different kind of theif though. They create dream worlds and "bring" their subjects into their created dream. The subject then fills it with their thoughts and memories. Leo and his team then "extract" certian pieces of information for their own gain. Leo appears to be performing one last job in an effort to "get back home". Now what this means we can only speculate until July 16 which is 66 days away.

Every couple of days i will be adding more info about the film, and will continue to build up the hype and convince you of why you need to be excited for what Jeff Boucher of the LA TIMES calls "the only movie that matters" of 2010.
