Inception (2010)

Ok, but it's still only a movie based on fiction. I liked it moderately the first time but the second time just blew me away even more, it probably requires more than one viewing to get the full picture. I know I needed another look at it and I still don't fully understand the whole thing yet.

And that is the real beauty of art. An artist has something inside which he expresses in "ambiguous," poetic terms. Thus, a piece may end up saying more than the artist intended, as people with different knowledge, experience, and temperament evaluate the work in different ways.

Come back to the movie in 10 or 20 years and you may see things that you do not see now. You will be a "different person" through experience, and the movie may revive old thoughts for new examination.

This is why I have the DVD. :)
 
To be fair, I was thinking of watching it again rather sooner than that.

Checked this one out for the first time last night. I must say I enjoyed it immensely, although this could be something to do with the fact that I haven't watched a film for a long time.
I loved the concept, and the way it was portrayed was suggestive enough without being too mind-intensive. It's nice to see DiCaprio continuing to take good film roles (although I still hesitate in praising him every time I think of Titanic, which I really.. really disliked). But personal preference and forgive and forget, ey? It was nearly 15 years ago.

Casting in general was great, the editing was beautifully finished. Nothing groundbreaking, but a good-looking movie.
 
Just watched this again - third time now, I think. Still a very good and thought provoking film. And once you have the idea that Cob is still in a dream, so many different lines stand out as reinforcing it. :)
