Dreams feel real while we’re in them. It’s only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.
Dominic Cobb (Leonardo Di Caprio) in the brilliantly thought-provoking science fiction heist film Inception (2010). Directed by Christopher Nolan, the film won four Academy Awards, raked in over $820 million and is considered a hugely imaginative modern masterpiece. I’m a huge fan of the English writer/director. You can also find other films of his on my blog, with The Dark Knight, Memento and The Prestige.

Great line. Christopher Nolan is one of my favourite directors. The Prestige really is a brilliant film! Might have to watch it again, although I already know the ending…
I know. It really is a clever ending. Still one of my favourite films from this century. No one else makes films like Christopher Nolan.
I loved “Inception” and really wanted an “Inception 2” I had so many questions, Alex!! 🙂 Hope you have a lovely barbecue and family time over Memorial Day! Smiles, Robin
We don’t celebrate here in the UK, though we have a Bank Holiday this coming Monday so extra long weekend ahead 🙂 Inception 2 would be an amusing idea. A sequel to Memento too.
Love the movie. Love the quote. Great job!
It was exceptional. He’s my favourite current director. So much imagination and originality.
This was an amazing movie. And thought that line was brilliant.
Thanks. It sums up dreams for me.
Swooning over thoughts of Leo. Well chosen quote, Alex. Although this feels a bit strange. Hmmm
To colourful dreams.
What if this, right now is a dream? How can we know for sure ?
As long as you’re happy, maybe it doesn’t matter? 🙂
Very good line!!! (head f*ck)
It’s mind-blowing. Nolan’s films usually are. The only one of his I haven’t liked was Insomnia and that his remake of a Scandinavian film.
Not seen it, surprised he made a remake! I’m not the biggest Nolan fan I must admit but his films are very good. I liked The Prestige the most!
You do realise that if we met at least 70% of our chat would be film related haha
I hope we do!!! And the other 30% Malcolm in the Middle and Blackadder? 🙂
A genius idea Darling 😉
Or maybe we should make it 20% so we have 10% for spontaneous chat and “would you like another drink” type questions? 🙂
I thought we were working on the sporting 110% model 🙂
Ahhhh! My bad!!! Of course 🙂 110%
I loved this movie.
Wonderfully brilliant and imaginative. I’m such a fan of Christopher Nolan.
A marvel!
I was truly pleased to see your post.
Inception is way at the top of my favourites list of films.
It has all the elements of a great, classic Sci-fi / Fantasy story.
It’s different – classy – new – ingenious – well-acted and directed – the pace is super.
I can go on and on.
I read much more than I watch films, but I love finding great ones like Inception.
It was also, I believe LC’s best acting role.

Trying to pick a favourite Leo performance is a nightmare haha. I loved him especially in Shutter Island and The Aviator. So happy you like Inception. One of my favourite films.
