to decode the show off




i'm not smart enough for Christopher Nolan's majestic films. despite the glorious special effects and the imaginative plot, i tend to fall asleep and scream, enough already! yeah, romcom all the way!

in Inception, there a lot of distractions -- di caprio, tom hardy, cillian murphy, what makes the ellen page character special (?), or is it alright for michael caine to play a babysitter (?), marion cotillard's accent.

the main themes of espionage, dreams, mind-numbing graphics are further enhanced by all the talk and explanations for the purpose of dialogue (?). just in case, the movie goer gets confused with the actions and sequences.

but it's virtually enjoyable, whether it's a dream within a dream or an alternate universe of good looking people who emote and infiltrate dreams for a living.
