Inception does what a lot of Chris Nolan’s films do for me, re-affirm that there are film-makers out there that want to challenge us as an audience. That treat us as mature people, that are willing to open our minds to the possibilities of film.

Thanks for your comments!

Maybe I’m just getting old and cynical, but I’ve been caring less and less about movies in the past few years. Then I watched Inception and I realized it’s because nothing challenges the viewer anymore. We’re spoon-fed formulaic crap so much these days.

I was beginning to wonder if maybe the skyrocketing cost of movies was to blame. Nobody can afford risk anymore so we get save movies like SpiderMan 3’s and Transformers. And to a lesser extent, Avatar.

Anyway, I really enjoyed Inception. It was challenging and yet it flowed naturally. I remember having an inner dialogue while watching it I though “Ok, I’m with you filmaker. Now take this idea and go fucking mental with it. Blow my mind.” And he did.
