Having rushed off to see Inception today with my partner, here are my notes and impressions:
- I want to stay at that hotel, hamster wheel corridor included.
- The way I'm thinking right now, my totem would either be a fountain pen or a crochet hook. [And I teased my partner that his would be a miniature figure of a panda.]
- Eames / the Forger [Tom Hardy] is my absolute favorite character in the movie.
- Nobody messes with Arthur / the Point Man [Joseph Gordon-Levitt].
- And Ariadne / the Architect [Ellen Page]? Rocks. End of discussion.
- As for actors: GODDAMN but Cillian Murphy can ACT. Whew. Bloody amazing that man.
After the movie? Best advice would be to engage friends in friendly but intense debate over the story, its themes, and its internal logic. Preferably over either alcohol or, if there are teetotalers, lots and lots of sweets [my partner and I did most of our critiques over dinner, which included a slice of Black Forest cake].
And, as I said over and over again on my Facebook and my Twitter: whatever the hell Christopher Nolan was on while writing and rewriting this damn movie - I WANT SOME AND I WANT IT NOW.
Go, watch, be amazed. I am an absolute newbie in the genre of mindfuck cinema, but I will be so presumptuous as to say that this movie is now on my list.
