Inception

     Last night a friend and I watched Inception. I own the movie and have seen it several times, but for my friend it was his first experience and he wasn't as impressed as he thought he would be. While it is one of my favorite films because of its unique plot and storytelling, he felt that the movie didn't live up to the hype that I and others built it up to be. He felt that the movie never quite allowed you to connect with the characters and in turn you never really cared about the fate of them.

                           

  

     I agree with his point to an extent in that the character development isn't the strongest out of my favorite movies, but that isn't what I am really looking for when I am watching Inception. The unique plot and the storytelling is what I love about the movie and I think the characters are allowed to develop as a part of the twists and turns that come along in the real world and in the dream world. For me this is a refreshing change of style in a movie which is why I enjoyed it the first time I watched it and continue to enjoy it the tenth time that I have seen it. However, everybody is free to have their own opinions about each film and I think that having healthy discussions over them only enhances the experience you get from each viewing.
