Inception (2010) - A thief who steals corporate secrets through the use of
dream-sharing technology is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the
mind of a C.E.O.
—ahmetkozan
Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous
art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious
during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare
ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of
corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and
cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at
redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can
accomplish the impossible, inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and
his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to
steal an idea, but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect
crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for
the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only
Cobb could have seen coming.

Dominic Cobb is an spy who instead of breaking into a person's
home, office, or even computer, gets the information he needs by getting into
the person's mind through their dreams. Cobb is also a fugitive who misses his
children. Someone approaches Cobb and wants to hire him but instead of getting
information out, the man wants Cobb to implant something, a process called
"inception", which is not easy to do. Cobb is hesitant to do it, but
when the man offers to help Cobb go back to his children, Cobb agrees. So he
assembles his team but when they begin, there are things Cobb didn't tell his
team that could jeopardize the job, and when they occur, they're not sure if
they should continue.

Dominic Cobb is the foremost practitioner of the artistic science
of extraction, inserting oneself into a subject's dreams to obtain hidden
information without the subject knowing, a concept taught to him by his
professor father-in-law, Dr. Stephen Miles. Dom's associates are Miles' former
students, who Dom requires as he has given up being the dream architect for
reasons he won't disclose. Dom's primary associate, Arthur, believes it has
something to do with Dom's deceased wife, Mal, who often figures prominently
and violently in those dreams, or Dom's want to "go home" (get back
to his own reality, which includes two young children). Dom's work is generally
in corporate espionage. As the subjects don't want the information to get into
the wrong hands, the clients have zero tolerance for failure. Dom is also a
wanted man, as many of his past subjects have learned what Dom has done to
them. One of those subjects, Mr. Saito, offers Dom a job he can't refuse: to
take the concept one step further into inception, namely planting thoughts into
the subject's dreams without them knowing. Inception can fundamentally alter
that person as a being. Saito's target is Robert Michael Fischer, the heir to
an energy business empire, which has the potential to rule the world if
continued on the current trajectory. Beyond the complex logistics of the dream
architecture of the case and some unknowns concerning Fischer, the biggest
obstacles in success for the team become worrying about one aspect of inception
which Cobb fails to disclose to the other team members prior to the job, and
Cobb's newest associate Ariadne's belief that Cobb's own subconscious,
especially as it relates to Mal, may be taking over what happens in the dreams.

Mr. Cobb a unique con artist can enter anyone's dreams and extract
the most valuable ideas and secrets of people with the help of
"inception" (a dream sharing technology) when the state of mind is at
its vulnerable best. Cobbs ability has made him the face of corporate spying,
hence a wanted man too. Seeing his abilities, he is approached by Saito to
carry out an almost impossible mission not to steal, but to plant the idea into
the mind of the legal heir of a billion dollar enterprenauer. Mr. Cobb, with
some specialists, must do the impossible in order to get back his life in a
completely different "world of dreams" facing his own demons.

Movie Review
I had the privilege of seeing
this movie before it came out, and, like most of DiCaprio's films, it blew me
away.
Inception is a well-made movie, filmed in about 6 locations all
over the world. The directing was outstanding, there were only about two
moments, maybe three seconds in total, where i noticed that visual effects were
being used (of course defying gravity is pretty difficult).
The plot was very pleasingly intricate, with a twist-and-turn,
keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat type feel. I noticed that this film had
similarities with DiCaprios thriller Shutter Island (which i also enjoyed very
much)seeing as it left you wondering what was real and what was not. It's great
to see a movie with a thick and emotional plot and not just grenade-throwing
action heroes who achieve greatness in the end.
Inception also has a very well-composed score, which to me was the
finishing touch to a perfect movie. If you're thinking about seeing Inception,
definitely go! Even though i was fortunate enough to see a free show, it is
worth every penny you pay.
Truly unique, like nothing i've ever seen before. Christopher
Nolan certainly covered new ground with this film and wasn't afraid to leave us
hanging with a spectacular ending.
