Personal Views Of Inception

I loomed forward to this movie for months before it even came out on the big screen. I rubbed my hands in anxiety for it to be on DVD. And now I have finally seen it. I was enthralled. I was excited. I was utterly amazed and my eyes filled with glee and my ears flooded with ecstasy. I watched the movie trailers over and over, and I got the trailer music, too. Then, last night, I finally went ahead and rented the movie for myself.

 

And I fell in love. <3

 

In all regards and aspects, the movie was simply amazing. The graphics were unbelievable to the point of being believable. Arthur's tumbler fight scene was certainly one of the most spectacular woks I've seen; maybe it was undramatic in the making, but it was so darn enjoyable on the screen that I simply couldn't help but grin in glee (an action of mine which displays the utmost level of excitement).

 

The music was phenomenal. Hanz Zimmer blows me away with every work of music he makes, and this score was certainly no exception. The pounding bass had me riveted as much as the movie itself, particularly at the final kicking scene.

 

Speaking of which, the movie had me falling with more emotion that happiness. It managed to touch me in another level: the final fortress scene when Fischer is at his father's bedside in the vault had me crying. That part, with the music fused, brought back memories of when I was at my own father's deathbed, and similarities between the character of Robert Fischer and myself were being drawn in my mind. The ability to seemingly "share" the emotions between the movie and my own experiences-- that's something I so rarely find in films.

 

All in all, this movie delivered past my expectations. Mindscrew begone, I understood the movie in my own special way. That's how movies are supposed to be interpreted, anyway; like music, they all have meanings we initiate on our own, much like the inception in Fischer's mind blossomed into his own reality. It's weaving films like this that I dig the most, and if it has Hans Zimmer at the musical wand, I'm even more excited.

I haven't seen Inception yet, but I'm gonna watch it with some friends this weekend. And Hans Zimmer's music is always amazing; I love listening to his soundtracks.

I'm actually going to watch Inception tonight, if all goes according to plan (through OnDemand). A few of my friends saw it, one of whom has watched it twice (and is still unable to understand it, apparently). All in all, I'm really looking forward to it: I've heard only good reviews thus far.

Quoted for absolute truth. Wolfgang Iser postulated that the only reason why literature can be meaningful is due to the response of the reader.

 

On a slightly unrelated note, my Honors Bio teacher has the soundtrack, and he played it while we were doing review worksheets for the final exam. It was hilarious when those of us who had yet to complete the assignment (due at the end of the hour) started to panic--just as the music began to speed and swell, becoming quite dramatic.

Saw it for the first time last night...really wished I saw it on the big screen. It was so incredibly good. Action films are never any good unless it has some intrigue or weirdness, which this had a ton of. The acting was superb too. The ambiguity of the end really nailed it for me. And I didn't find it that hard to follow, which was what I was worried about, because some people I know did. It was fabulous. Still the Escher staircases were by far the most win part of the film.

:kaukau:Well, I somewhat disagree on the statement that all films should have its own unique message for every person who watches it. To me, a film can be whatever the heck the writer wants it to be. If a writer sets out with a specific purpose and theme that he or she wants all viewers to be able to recognize, I don't see that as being wrong. And sometimes those films can be really good. Take, for example, To Kill A Mockingbird.

 

I don't know. I've been highly sceptical of this film. I haven't seen it yet, and I try to avoid plot spoilers. I think that the main thing that has been setting me off are certain people I know who praise it, I hate reviews where all someone says is "Inception. Enough said." or "Inception. Best movie ever! Period.", and also because recently The Dark Knight, another Nolan film, has lost some of its magic on me and I'm unsure if I like his directing style. I'm sure I'll change my opinion after watching the film, since I'm not going to watch it wanting to dislike it.
