About Inception in brief
Inception is a 2010 science fiction action film written and directed by Christopher Nolan. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a professional thief who steals information by infiltrating the subconscious of his targets. The ensemble cast includes Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Elliot Page, Tom Hardy, Dileep Rao, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, and Michael Caine. Inception grossed over USD 828 million worldwide, becoming the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2010. It won four Academy Awards and was nominated for four more: Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Art Direction, and Best Original Score. It received critical praise for its screenplay, direction, themes, action sequences, visual effects, musical score, and ensemble cast. Its official budget was USD 160 million, split between Warner Bros. and Legendary. Nolan’s reputation and success with The Dark Knight helped secure the film’s US$100 million in advertising expenditure. It was released in both conventional and IMAX theaters beginning on July 16, 2010, and went on to become one of the best-selling films of the 2010s. It has been described as the “most anticipated film of the year” by The New York Times and The Guardian. It is also considered to be the best science fiction film of all time by The Guardian and The Washington Post. The movie is based on a true story of a group of dream stealers who infiltrate their targets’ subconscious and extract information through a shared dream world.
At each dream level, the person generating the dream stays behind to set up a kick to awaken other team members from the deeper dream. The team abducts Robert, but are attacked by projections from his subconscious, and Cobb reveals that while dying in the dream would normally waken dreamers, the sedatives will instead send them into \”limbo\”, a world of infinite subconscious. After waking up, Cobb tells Ariadne that he and Mal entered limbo while experimenting with the dream-sharing technology. When Mal refused to return to reality, Cobb used a form of inception by reactivating her totem, an object dreamers can use to distinguish dreams from reality. He then fled the U.S. leaving his children in the care of the Miles’ care. Cobb’s team drives the team as they are sedated into the second level, dreamed by Yusuf, a chemist with a sedative for the \”dream within a dream\” strategy. The first level is Yusuf’s dream of Los Angeles, but is attacked by Robert’s subconscious. Cobb persuades Robert that he has been kidnapped by Browning, his protector, leading Robert into another level in a ruse to enter the first level. Cobb is then sedated and drives off the equivalent of his first level, deliberately driving off the guards as Yusuf drives off Robert’s first level in the third level, a fortified hospital dreamed by Arthur. Cobb reveals he is a thief and that he is being tested for a seemingly impossible job: implanting an idea in a person’s subconscious, or \”inception\”.
