I just wanted to point out the one thing that I loved above everything else that blew my mind about this film.
In the film, the characters tell us, that to plant an idea, that idea has to be in its purest, distilled form to take root and grow.
Behind all the visual flair, stunning logic and mindfuckery of a plot lies one simple idea:
A man just wants to find a way back to his kids.
That’s what makes Inception brilliant. Nolan accomplished precisely what his characters talk about in the context of the film. A simple idea, driven by a positive emotion, but wrapped up in an extremely original, high concept method of delivery.
And when he couples that with cross-genre pollination, he strikes pure gold. He did it with The Dark Knight, marrying the comic book movie with the traditions of film noir, and this time he takes the rules of a heist movie, and infuses it with the best of sci-fi.
