15 Blockbusters You Must See Before You Die
15. Inception (2010)
The movie is called “Inception” and it will take your brain, turn it into mush and then drink it through an endless spiral straw.
This 2010 science fiction heist thriller is so complex and brilliantly put together, that even if we told you how it ends, it wouldn’t be a spoiler and it wouldn’t tell you anything unless you knew how it got there.
The movie focuses on a professional thief who commits corporate espionage by infiltrating the subconscious of his targets. He is offered a chance of redemption as payment for a task considered to be impossible: “inception”, the implantation of another person’s idea into a target’s subconscious.
“Inception” is all about the layers and fighting our way through numerous sheets of reality, dream, reality within a dream or dreams without reality. It said that Nolan came up with the concept while filming “Memento” (another complex masterpiece of his), and that he spent the next ten years writing the screenplay for “Inception.”
Yes, it is that good.
