The connoisseurs of pure cinematic excellence again stood up in awe and disbelief. The applause went on even as the crowd tried to comprehend what they had just witnessed, almost as if they were trying to kick themselves out of a dream. It was a hat-trick!

Nolan and Zimmer had not only lived up to their reputation but this time they had absolutely outdone themselves. For its one thing to create a masterpiece, but an altogether different class to put together a spellbinding show which lifts your spirits and souls, mind and heart to an aesthetic pinnacle! The more you watch it, the more you get soaked into it and the more you crave for it: a huge sedation, an irresistible experience!

The Architect, The Extractor, The Forger, The Mark, The Point Man, The Shade and The Tourist have successfully managed to plant an idea into my mind. They have successfully accomplished Inception for real. And it’s a very simple idea:

“Inception is the Greatest Movie of All Time”

And an idea is like a virus. Its Resilient. It spreads like a cancer. And after being Inception-ised for more than 7 hours now, it has indeed established a firm place in both my mind and the heart.

Much like Cobb, a couple of pseudo-Cobb’s have tried to De-inceptionise me of this idea. By bringing references to ‘Inception vs other Nolan masterpieces’ as well as even an absurd comparison between ‘Inception vs Matrix’, they have tried it all. But much like Mal, all this has been in vain, a sheer waste of effort indeed. But I don’t blame them for trying like Cobb, its worth a shot for sure. However, the fact remains that even if I have to die now to alienate myself from this idea, I may very well go into a Limbo. It’s a perfect possibility which cant be denied, considering the state of affairs at present!

Memento. For a long-time the non-linearity and the short-term memory loss concept of this Nolan classic had made it my all-time no.1, but only till 16 July, 2010.

Yes, it would require another Inception to completely erase this idea from my mind. But then it would be ‘Inception’ again: the Greatest Movie of All Time!!!

To damn with the IMDbs, Rotten tomatoes and the critics: this idea is going to live, grow and sustain itself for a long long time now :)

Rest Assured!
