Phil Jackson and Kobe make the best movie of the year (NO Spoilers here)


The movie Inception has it all, action, dialogue, a believable and underrated love story you care about, and so much depth at certain points you feel like you may drown in the meaty plot and strategy that never allows your brain take a breather. What's special about the film is each of the features mentioned above are in my opinion masterfully measured into the perfect movie. I will say that it is extremely cerebral but I enjoyed the challenge of keeping up with the strategy and pace of the movie. Not to mention the best part which is the mental hangover the movie leaves you with in its final scene. Even today I've thought of other possible scenarios regarding the movies ending. . Christopher Nolan the director to which I imply the Phil Jackson reference (The Zen Master) is genius while DiCaprio (Kobe Bryant) has to be not only at the top of his game but looking down stories above his peers clearly in his prime just like the NBA Champion athlete he goes to see, DiCaprio is an actor we will talk about for decades. After Nolan brought his talents of dialog and story line to the last two Batman films he's definitely out done himself with Inception.  Joseph Gordon-Levitt from 3rd Rock from the Sun and 500 Days of summer (which I do recommend renting) definitely holds his own in the film as a very likable and savvy character. I have quickly become a fan of his low key and complimenting wit and am looking forward to his future projects. Especially if it's in Nolan's next movie as the Riddler...Batman 3? Inception is a must see but only if you are willing to devote your time to the film free of distractions. Not only will you not be disappointed but you'll be anxious to discuss your take.
