INCEPTION

It has been a while since the last movie made by Christopher Nolan was in the theaters, and it
has already gone the first impact of this work that had pleased connoisseurs, moviegoers and ocassionally cinema visitors, so it is at this point that I decided to give my opinion about this original and well comented motion picture.
But befroehand I should confess (I have been seriously thinking on changing the name of the blog into CONFESSIONS OF A CINEPHAGUS) that is a well known and notorious defect (or virtue - according to me) that I always go against the common opinion of moviegoers, public in general and, in certain occasions, movie critics about some productions that all these groups of people happen to like. The fact that a movie is well accepted by everyone,it does not mean that I have to kneel in front of it and admit with no reserves the excellency it has. I clearly remembered the cas of BRAVEHEART (which I watched on VHS tape three years after its premiere and I did not like it at all, but it does not mean that it is a bad movie), as well as the case of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT(more advertising than content, althought it certainly renew the way of promoting a film) and, more recently, CLOVERFIELD (too elaborated for my taste). So when I heard all the pariase that INCEPTION was receiving, I told to myself that it woul possibly be something similar to what happened to me with AVATAR; I would possibly admit its visual greatness, but I would end up going against the general feeling.
But I should confess (yes, once again) that this time everyone who commented something positive about this - fourth of fifth - Nolan's movie was not wrong at all; this work impacted me as well as STAR WARS and the first MATRIX (the other two can go into oblivion)did in their times.

INCEPTION has everything that makes a movie unforgettable: to start with, a great story, a fantastic tale that becomes believable thanks to another of the strengths of the film: the performances and to end up special effects at the service of the story - which impact and amaze, but they are part of the tale and do not overwhelmed it and are not the main attractiveness of the picture.
The story written by Nolan himself amazes by its complexity and, at the same time, because it reaches any sort of audience: that which is La historia escrita por el propio Nolan asombra por su complejidad y a su vez por llegar a cualquier tipo de público: that which is pretty intelelctual and look for something more than shootings and persecutions and the other which precisely look for those characteristics in a film. The performances are well done, Di Caprio - although some people said that he is repeating previous characteristics of his last movie - is great as the tormented leading man, complemented by a cast that make its work with greal professionalism tá genial como el atormentado protagonista, complementado por un elenco que realiza su and credibility - I was really surprised to know that on the stars was that young boy from 3rd Rock from the Sun (Joseph Gordon-Levitt).
Beside to be classified as complex and, in some cases, pointed out certain holes in the story - which I did not find, in my opinion the greatness of this story is precisely to make the complexity something attractive to every one in the screening room, no matter how well versed or involved in the subject the audience has to be.
Particularly, I highly recommend this great movie, and thanks to it and his previous one (THE DARK KNIGHT) - without minimizing MEMENTO y his other films - Christopher Nolan is getting a priviliged place in the world of cinema and he would be a part of the list of great movie directors. Definitely he is gainning a place among my favorite directores.
Probably the film is not longer in theaters, but please do not miss it as soon as you have a chance to watch it, you will thank me later.
