“Inception” is a movie that may seem a bit strange to be thought of as one that has an impact ones life, but for some reason this movie has stuck with me more then others in the past decade of my life. I have never really been a huge movie person, definitely not the friend in your group that can give out endless quotes from several films in any conversation. However, for some reason this has been one that I cannot let go of.

Dominic Cobb is a man who steals thoughts and visions of things that benefit his clients from your dreams- this is his profession. All he really wants though is to get his life back from his life of crime and be with his children. This leads him to take on the most challenging job of his career, instead of stealing information from someone’s dreams, he needs to input an idea – this is inception. If he accomplishes this task he can have his life back. Clearly this is not a realistic thing to occur, but maybe someday in the future? Our technology has progressed so far in just my lifetime, could the ability to go into someone’s dreams and input your owns desires and thoughts going to always be this far fetched? We are coming up with new technology everyday so maybe someday, right? I think that is a big part of what drew me into this film. It is something that I think could eventually happen, but really maybe that is just myself getting to involved in a movie whose plot could never become reality.

Even is that is the case, I have always loved this movie. Maybe it is the teenage girl still inside me who loves Leonardo DiCaprio from his role in “Titanic”, but really maybe because it is a Sci-Fi film that is something that I can see coming in the future no matter what. Regardless, the concept and filming is awesome, and I hope everyone watches it and enjoys it.
