Inception

Whoa man this is trippy!
The release of Inception confirmed to me the excess of cynicism when it comes to contemporary film, if not contemporary art in general. Imagine that when The Ten Commandments was released most filmgoers and critics ignored it for being over-the-top, ambitious and stupid. Of course those adjectives could be put to that movie, but this is where we must suspend our disbelief and remember we’re at the freakin’ cinema and not all feature presentations will be realistic indie flicks. Inception is contradictory and ridiculous; it’s one of the most entertaining and bold films I’ve seen in years.
