"Dreams always feel real while we are in them, it's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange." Cobb-Inception
Alright so the new trailer for "NCEPTION" is finally officially released on the internet so no more putting up with crappy bootleg versions filmed with cameras in the movie theater! That is news that should excite everybody because truthfully....it is one of the best trailers I have ever seen! It is such a good trailer and the movie is really THE movie I am looking forward to of 2010 probably the movie I have been most excited for in my entire life, I figured I would write up a review of the trailer!
I had been looking forward to the release of this trailer for quite some time. The first teaser was release last fall with the new Quentin Tarantino film, Inglorious Bastards. That trailer was extremely brief, only showing some random shots of Dicaprio looking confused and people fighting in a hallway. Then in December the second teaser or depending on the way you look at it, the first full lenght trailer came out. This had a little more, yet still left most audiences (I am referring to normal people not obsessed with the movie as I am) pretty confused and curious.
The new trailer runs at 2 minutes and 24 seconds. This time giving us a very brief overview of the film. Some were worried that the new trailer would give a way too much thus taking away elements of surprise and wonder that Nolan and company are hoping to save for the viewers first experience with the film in the cinema. Luckily, the trailer still gives absolutely nothing away. What it does do is give us an array of elaborate images, completely out of context, giving us a sense of need to see this film so we know what we are looking at in the trailer.
We are given short one second clips of people falling down snowy mountainsides, bridges rising up out of nowhere as Ellen Page begins to walk across. Joseph Gordon Levitt floating in rooms that appear to have zero gravity, tying up what appear to be corpses. Dicaprio hugging Marion Cottilard's character. Dicaprio yelling at Levitt and building collapsing. Now I am not gonna talk about the possible meanings and roles of both Levitt's and Cotillard's character here, I am gonna spend the next post specifically on them (because there is lots of mystery and speculation around their characters that is actually quite fascinating).
But all these scenes give only hints to the possibilities this movie has, not just for an incredible sci fi actioner/thriller. But as a genuine heartfelt drama examining emotions and dream and the capabilities of the human mind. The trailer has a beautifully intense score pulsing through it moving the scenes along from one to the next. What we are now expecting is not just a big budget action flick that we would normally get in the middle of July, but instead an insightful intense thriller with MAJOR awards possibilites. Most notably we can probably expect Best Actor nominations for Dicaprio and more than likely best screenplay and director for Christopher Nolan...and all this is coming from just seeing this trailer. Now maybe the entire movie will be an epic fail, but I think its very reasonable after this trailer to assume that it WILL be the best film of the year.
If you have not seen the trailer yet, I have posted a link below to it. Watch it so you don't have to take my word for it.
