Inception
How could not I jump in the bandwagon and not have anything to say on Inception? Given the fact that; me being one of those hardcore Christopher Nolan geeks! Geek and proud. So there!
I will skip getting into details, acting as a smart ass movie critic, knowing it all…etc. So much to tell anyway. But there is one thing cannot be left unsaid. It was a pleasure seeing the usual loyal Nolan actors nailing it such as Cillian Murphy, Michael Caine, Ken Watanabe along with the great Marion Cotillard and ever-psycho looking Tom Hardy. BUT. There was something missing. Something big. Someone. A talent. Real one. Christian Bale. He would have made a way better Cobb than that Di Caprio guy did. I have to admit that Leoboy has gone beyond his acting boundaries (should be Nolan’s directing skills, ahem!) but still he was not standing firmly as the character Cobb. (Nolan geeks would have remembered the name Cobb from the movie The Following! I am so feeling high with the references from back then!)
A part of me was left unsatisfied. Bale-less. Which reminded me of Danny Boyle’s giving up on Ewan McGregor in order to work with Leo boy in The Beach. Apparently Inception is already a huge success unlike The Beach’s failure once upon a time and Leo performs much better than he did in The Beach but why settling for average when you could have the best?!?!
Rant over.
Here is a live recording from Inception Premiere. Where Hans Zimmer performing a piece from the OST with Johnny Marr. Take this. Another reason to love this film!
Nolan, I love you. Always have, always will.
