- I bet you have heard about this type of movies several times and I think you liked. It's about that films that you can't really understand at the begginig- those ''Mindfucks'' and Inception is the best you can find. At least, it's the best I found.Let me tell you why : Leonardo DiCaprio , Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy and so on.
- Dominic Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is the foremost practitioner of the artistic science of extraction - inserting oneself into a subject's dreams to obtain hidden information without the subject knowing - a concept taught to him by his professor father-in-law, Dr. Stephen Miles. Dom's associates are Miles' former students, who Dom requires as he himself has given up being the dream architect for reasons he won't disclose. Dom's primary associate, Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), believes it has something to do with Dom's deceased wife, Mal (Marion Cotillard), who often figures prominently and violently in those dreamscasking Dom's to "go home" ,to go back to his own reality, which includes two young children. Dom's work is generally in corporate espionage. As the subjects don't want the information to get into the wrong hands, the clients have zero tolerance for failure. Dom is also a wanted man as many of his past subjects have learned what Dom has done to them. One of those subjects, Mr. Saito (Ken Watanabe), offers Dom a job he can't refuse: to take the concept one step further into inception, namely planting thoughts into the subject's dreams without them knowing. Inception can fundamentally alter that person as a being. Saito's target is Robert Michael Fischer (Cillian Murphy), the heir to an energy business empire, which has the potential to rule the world if continued on the current trajectory. Beyond the complex logistics of the dream architecture of the case and some unknowns concerning Fischer himself, the biggest obstacles in success for the team become worrying about one aspect of inception which Cobb fails to disclose to the other team members prior to the job, and Cobb's newest associate Ariadne (Ellen Page)'s belief that Cobb's own subconscious, especially as it relates to Mal, may be taking over what happens in the dreams.

Quotes :
- ''What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere.'' Cobb.
- ''Don't you want to take a leap of faith? Or become an old man, filled with regret, waiting to die alone!''Saito.
- ''You mind telling your subconscious to take it easy?'' Adriane.
