Inception
Inception is a 2010 science fiction action film written and directed by Christopher Nolan, who also produced it with Emma Thomas, his wife. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a professional thief who steals information by infiltrating the subconscious of his targets. He is offered a chance to have his criminal history erased as payment for the implantation of another person's idea into a target's subconscious. The ensemble cast includes Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Elliot Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Dileep Rao, and Michael Caine. After the 2002 completion of Insomnia, Nolan presented to Warner Bros. a written 80-page treatment for a horror film envisioning "dream stealers," based on lucid dreaming. Deciding he needed more experience before tackling a production of this magnitude and complexity, Nolan shelved the project and instead worked on 2005's Batman Begins, 2006's The Prestige, and 2008's The Dark Knight. The treatment was revised over six months and was purchased by Warner in February 2009. Inception was filmed in six countries, beginning in Tokyo on June 19 and ending in Canada on November 22. Its official budget was $160 million, split between Warner Bros. and Legendary. Nolan's reputation and success with The Dark Knight helped secure the film's US$100 million in advertising expenditure. Inception's premiere was held in London on July 8, 2010; it was released in both conventional and IMAX theaters beginning on July 16, 2010. Inception grossed over $837 million worldwide, becoming the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2010. Considered one of the best films of the 2010s, Inception won four Oscars (Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, Best Visual Effects) and was nominated for four more (Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Art Direction, Best Original Score) at the 83rd Academy Awards.

Thank you very much Inception Now, before you bother telling me it's impossible, let me- No, it's perfectly possible it's just bloody difficult. Interesting. Because Arthur keeps telling me it can't be done. Hmm. Arthur. You still working with that stick in the mud? He is good at what he does, right? Oh, he's the best, but he has no imagination Not like you Listen, if you're gonna perform inception you need imagination. Let me ask you something Have you done it before? We tried it. Uh, we got the idea in place but it didn't take. - You didn't plant it deep enough? - No, it's not just about depth. You need the simplest version of the idea... ...in order for it to grow naturally in your subject's mind. it's a subtle art So, what is this idea that you need to plant? We need the heir of a major corporation to dissolve his father's empire. Right there you have various political motivations and anti-monopolistic sentiments and so forth. But all of that stuff, it's, um it's really at the mercy of your subject's prejudice, you see? What you have to do is start at the absolute basic Which is what? The relationship with the father Do you have a chemist? No, not yet. Right. Okay, well, there's a man here, Yusuf He, uh, formulates his own versions of the compounds. Why don't you take me there?

Cobb said you�d be back I tried not to come, but... But there's nothing quite like it it's just pure creation Shall we take a look at some paradoxical architecture? ARTHUR: You're gonna have to master a few tricks... If you're gonna build three complete dream levels. Excuse me. ARIADNE: What kind of tricks? In a dream, you can cheat architecture into impossible shapes. That lets you create closed loops like the Penrose Steps.
