Inception

99.1/100 Christopher Nolan's Films are so popular that it is hard nowadays to say insightful things about them that have not been said. Inception is so weird because while this is true for the film I get a feeling that there are details about the film that all 3.3 Million letterboxd viewers all collectively missed. Leading a Nolan film off with a paradox felt almost necessary, because while most his films deal with the concept, Inception is built upon it even more than ever. I once assumed that the term Magnum Opus was synonymous to Life's work, but I am now convinces they are separate, because although I still feel that Interstellar was Nolan's Magnum Opus, it is clear that Inception is his film making life's work. Every minute detail of this film feels so intricate that it would be impressive for a singular person to create it in their lifetime, let alone an entire 2 hours and 30 minutes of them. To single out a singular actor would be doing a disservice to the entire cast, so just know that every actor in this film did an immaculate job. But Singling out Hans Zimmer for his work in creating this mesmerizing score is much deserved, as I feel the film went from amazing to masterpiece level due to its sound and music. This film reminds me that there are much more intelligent people and creators out there than me more than ever because it just leaves me in utter shock at every creative turn. So all I can do is write this review to add myself to the other thousands of reviews that tells you this film revolutionized what it means to be epic.
