Inception (2010)

By Christopher Nolan

It’s very intense, but good. It plays around psychologically and gets faster and more intense as you progress into the movie. It is one of those movies that you have to watch multiple times in order to catch everything. The movie follows the life of Dom Cobb, a man accused of murdering his wife and who must therefore do illegal brain extraction (extracting secrets from a person’s mind via dreams). Saito hires Cobb and his team to perform inception-to plant an idea in someone’s mind without the subject realizing that the idea is being planted. The mission can be easily compromised by Cobb and the secret he holds. Will they complete their mission and get out safely? And will Cobb finally face his secret and get back to his family?
This movie had a lot of death and some issues with language. Life does not appear to be valued in this film, as can be seen by the fact that the only way to get out of a dream is to kill yourself. Predictably, there is a lot of dying in this film that is not seen as a problem.

  2. I didn't have an issue with the dying in a dream. I never felt like they didn't value life. And the way to get out of a dream is not by killing/dying(though it is a way) but by the fall, like falling of a chair or something.
    The death did not bother me at all. and the language is not much(if your like me and have heard more in real like then there is in this movie).
