We all have been INCEPTED! Ok, except few here and there. And few who belong to U-25! Guys, go easy on that age factor, seriously. Am going all cerebral here. Deep down, three levels. #JGrin
Lot of us, including Vasan Bala worship Charlie Kaufman. So, to compare anyone else with him is itself a big compliment. But Christopher Nolan is not “anyone”. Oops.
Vasan is the third musketeer in our group whom we ditched and went to see Inception before it hit the theatres today. But seems like for the next Nolan movie, I have to give him the preference because he has dethroned the old fanboy Kartik Krishnan. Vasan has nailed it and how! In short, simple and crisper way and much like one of the central thoughts of the film – you don’t remember where you start dreaming from, rite ? Its “Being Christopher Nolan“. Read on. For Kartik Krishnan’s post click here and for my orgamsic non-stop twitter post, click here.
Some people are calling it the Cerebral Blockbuster.
Some say it’s all mind and detached from the heart.
I call it the Charlie Kaufman Action Movie.
Or was it the GREAT NOLAN RETROSPECTIVE.
Then again something in me says the seeds of Inception were thrown in when Sammy Jankis was born or was it the insulin, or was it when the search for John.G began…it never ended…did it…ok…where was I ?
Or when Will Dormer could not sleep in the endless daylight of Alaska ?
Or was it when Angier’s wife drowned.
Or was it Bowden’s arrogance in pushing his devotion for magic too far which led to a lot of blood shed, scarred egos, tons of accumulated guilt. Were we watching closely?
But then wait wait wait…Cobb….was always there, right from the start FOLLOWING the young man. A serial burglar….a thief getting into the mind of the YOUNG MAN.
As Cobb said in the Following “You take it away, and show them what they had.”
Cobb here in Inception just takes a HUGE ‘LEAP OF FAITH’ and digs into some three more layers.
The art, the craft, the obsession, the love, the loss, the guilt, the anger, the redemption, was it all worth it…was it for real…are you willing to put a bullet to your head to know ?
INCEPTION is one of those Kaufman moments where the genius lies in telling a simple story in a seemingly complex way yet with plenty of leads to find your way, almost spoon feeding you and making you feel cerebral enough to decipher HIS creation…..and all this with Nolan’s blockbuster vision. Where Kaufman failed at his SY^&%%$%^$ NEW Y$%^ maze Nolan builds it ever so complex yet so effortless, ever to explanatory yet so discreet. LET GO.
Am still quite dumbstruck by this illusionary cerebral elevation in my created by Nolan.
Fuck all that…..go watch it THRICE. Am already geared for level 2.
What last for 5 minutes will last for an hour in LEVEL 2….and the third???? Go figure!
It never stopped spinning….hahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahha!!!
(PS – Lets ditch the old fanboy this time and go for Level 2 soon)

His last film blew our mind and how! Diving Bell and The Butterfly. And what a coincidence – As Christopher Nolan’s Inception has now become the “last film to blew our mind”, Schnabel is back with a new film titled Miral. And the trailer of Miral is out. Check it out.
