Christopher Nolan has made very few films in his career including The Prestige, Memento, The Dark Knight, and most recently the masterpiece Inception. This is a film that has a superb cast in Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Caine, Ellen Page, and Ken Watanabe. I enjoyed Memento, The Dark Knight, and the Prestige. All these movies made you think differently about the lives that we lead and also he toys with our emotions because he doesn’t make his films that simple to figure out. For example, in The Dark Knight he made it a priority to make Batman not only seem like a superhero but also someone who has a human side to him as well and also who can forget the great performance that Heath Ledger put on as the Joker because he made such a great character come to real life. In Memento, you had a character that has memory loss and he has to keep writing things on his body in order to keep memories alive which makes the film seem more like the viewer is following what is happening to him. Inception, however, might be the one film that I would recommend as the best film of the year because it has everything you want in a film: Great acting, simple but not overbearing themes, great story, great ideas, and an almost perfect movie from start to finish. The one thing I loved about the film was that it touched on the idea of dreams and how they may seem almost real because we make them up and not anybody else. You always remember the most important parts of a dream but you never remember the beginning which is something that I love to hear because it is so true. I was thinking that if people were to make up there dreams, how would they be able to distinguish from what was real and what was fake? I don’t think anybody can really tell because how do we know anything isn’t a dream at all? It would be incredible to be able to come up with things that are hidden within our subconscious but it would be strange to be able to come up with stuff that was hidden away in our memories. All I must say was that I was impressed with every aspect of the film and it would be amazing if there was a second one made. Hopefully, this week I can see it once again with one of my best buddies Ricardo but thanks for listening
