My Oscar Winner: Inception

After all of the constant hype about this movie, I decided I had to see it. Granted, I did not see it in its full movie theater glory, it holds to be one of the most impressive movies I have yet to see. Through the dissection of dreams within dreams, it is revealed that Dom Cobb, a skilled thief, has been sent on a mission to do the impossible. Instead of stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious, he is asked to plant one. In the ultimate acts of corporate espionage Cobb fights to finish this last task to gain is lost life back. His life with his beloved wife and children taken away by his life as a fugitive, and his only goal, no matter how dangerous the journey would be, is to be with his family once again. The in depth, story-within-a-story plot line is captivating from the opening scene through the last lines of the closing credits; it was a true nail-biter.

I believe this movie should have won the Oscar award for best picture because it is not only artfully filmed with extraordinary special effect and well thought of cinematography techniques, but it almost forced the viewer to have an emotional connection to the characters and the film itself. To me, the most important aspect a movie must have for it to stand out in my mind is that it is thought provoking and including of the audience. This film not only keeps you physically excited and on the edge of your chair with intense special effects and wonderful soundtrack, but it also keeps you mentally stimulated constantly trying to figure out what is coming next!

From my above rant about the incredible aspects of this film, it is apparent that I agree with the hype; this film is a MUST SEE. It most definitely should have won the Best Picture award at the Oscars, and it doesn’t hurt that Leonardo DiCaprio is the main character…
