Inception - 2010

Score: 9.0/10
"The outcome is reality or a dream?"

Is it action?Suspense?Drama? ALL!


My score for this movie is definitely 10!


Do you know that films which you want to kill the director at the last second of the movie? Yeah! This is what I'm talking about. This movie is extraordinary. However, it's the kind movie that if you blink, you lose your train of thought. The script is incredible, is complex and fascinating. I was confused on the first few minutes of the film and I just understood all at the end. Not because it's difficult but because you get afraid to decide whether the character is dreaming or not. Moreover, if we analyse deeply, what happens in the film, it's perfectly possible to happen in real life. Who said it's impossible to enter the in the mind of a person? This is what makes the film even more intriguing.


Leonardo Di Caprio is guy who has lucky that is very lucky to only work in damn good films and with great directors. It's that what really defines your career. To be honest, I think that he didn't need to do much in this film, the script helped him a lot. The character is already intriguing by itself!

With only one detail, the director can provide a key to interpret the film in thousands of ways. Even better, the film runs the cliclé that every film needs a perfect outcome. When we think that's a film about robbery, it becomes an incredible drama.

Christopher Nolan surprised me again, the first time was with the film The Prestige (which is a great movie), and now with The Inception. He wrote and directed, now think how difficult it is to create a narrative that level?He shows once again, a director of quality! That's what Hollywood needs. Moreover, we can not fail to mention about the movie Memento, where the narrative is all backwards. Showing once again that Nolan is extremely simple and intelligent.


In parts, the film reminds me a little bit the style directed by James Cameron, and you just have sure it is not because somehow (despite being a sci-fi) is not science that is the focus of the narrative but the human being.


Nolan definitely didn't want this film was to a large audience, he cares more about the story being well done and more difficult to understand. On this way, he turns the cinema into high culture and non-profit films.

The amazing thing is to understand that the style of filming and photo are so like the films of Stanley Kubrick, more precisely in 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's all about noticing the way in which the hotel's scene was shot. Inception also remember the Matrix film, as can be seen in the pictures. The cover, certainly reminds one of his films, right?



There is not a movie where the actors will compete for the Oscar, after all, Nolan is more attentive to the physical space, architecture, and photography. But only because I believe that the script, the photography, and the direction will be the nominated for the Academy Award.

Congratulations Christopher Nolan! It definitely worth to have waited 10 years for a big production as this one.


Director of Photography

Wally Pfister, mais uma vez com Nolan, foi eficiente e merece a mais uma indicação no Oscar. Já foi indicado com Batman Begins, O Grande Truque e Batman, O cavalheiro das Trevas.

Os efeitos visuais são precisos e muito bem desenvolvidos e nenhum excesso de preenchimento das cenas foi em vão. Afinal, uma imagem ressalta a outra, auxiliando assim o desenvolvimento do roteiro. Em especial nesse filme, a fotografia ajuda muito a entender a ordem dos sonhos e acompanhar a narrativa.

Temos também uma excelente utilização da câmera lenta, da maneira mais bela que o cinema oferece, onde trabalham de maneira que acresce à narrativa dramática e a conotações poéticas da cena.

Sem dúvida alguma, Wally Pfister será indicado ao Oscar sim. A fotografia é excelente e de qualidade impecável.

Pfister carrega uma renca de ótimos filmes! Sua lista só tende a crescer. Ele não é o tipo de cara que só se encaixa em um estilo de fotografia, tornando-o assim, super versátil e extremamente habilidoso para dar o que Nolan pedir.
