Over the weekend, I watched two movies, Inception and Udaan, to my surprise both turned out to be some of the best movies I have watched in recent times.
Christopher Nolan’s credibilities is well known with movies like Memento and Dark Knight but in Inception he crafted a movie that’s beyond brilliant and layered both narratively and thematically. For this magnum opus audience requires intense viewer concentration, raised thoughtful and complex ideas, and wrapped everything all in a breathlessly exciting action film. It’s a film built on possibilities and the boldness of pursuing those possibilities. Its a story of dream and dream inside dream in a recursive manner. If someone say just one line that, story is, through the use of a special device, construct the dreams of a target and use those dreams to implant an idea so that the target will make a decision beneficial to the individual who hired the team. Anyone but Nolan might would have forced theaters to distribute pamphlets to audience members in order to explain the complicated world he’s developed.
Its about dreams, some of the fact of the dream came alive, In dream time elapses slower then real, If you fall or die in dream you come out of dream , dream can be anything where law of physics can be defied and dreams are real when you are in but when you come out it feels strange. the film layers dreams on top of dreams to the point where a unique keepsake called a “totem” is required in order to inform a character as to whether or not he or she is still dreaming. Then you have people in particular roles like “The Architect”, “The Forger”, and “The Chemist” in order to pull off the job and delving too deeply into a mind can cause an eternal slumber called “Limbo”, using memories to construct dreams is dangerous because it can blur the line between dreams and reality. In addition, intruding in the dreams of another will cause the dreamer’s “projections” (human representations created by the dreamer) to attack the intruders like white blood cells going after an infection. And these explanations only represent a fraction of the terminology, rules, exceptions, or details that are necessary for creating the world of Inception. But it’s not a confusing movie if you provide it with your full attention.
The comparisons with The Matrix are inevitable. Both movies deal with the nature of reality combined with pulse-pounding set pieces that will be included in any action-scene highlight reel. But The Matrix is a freshman level course compared to the doctorate held by Inception, and it has nothing to do with how far special effects have come in ten years.
The other one Udaan is all about chasing dream. Much against our will, at several instances in life, one has to helplessly bow down to some entity – be it your teacher, boss, kin or anyone else. Udaan narrates a tale where a son is almost on an extended detention under his disciplinarian father’s domain. Through this allegory, Udaan inspires one to break away from all bindings of life and fly freely. Shoot In the beautiful city of Jamshedpur with least glamor quotient, this has many particlual instances that relates to owm occurance in life.. Udaan comes across as an intensely personal film; a coming-of-age story without the choreographed songs or road-trips; the anti-Wake Up Sid if you like. There is angst you can identify with. With Udaan, Vikramaditya Motwane makes a terrific directing debut, offering up a film whose images will linger in your head long after you've left your seat. The film reaches out because it's sincere. It tells Rohan's story in the only way it could have been told -- without the commercial trappings that might have made it an easier watch. And yet you're overwhelmingly happy that it isn't compromised cinema.
