Wake up Hollywood!
For someone that likes watching many movies, an original structure can be interesting. In other words, for someone that is tired of watching Hollywood films that do not surprise them anymore, there is Inception. This movie should win an Oscar because of his dramatic structure and his own complex world that catch you in the story.
First, the structure of that movie is original, even if it is not unique. It kinds of remember us the movie Memento of the same director. The action is interupted by sequences of the past that helps us to understand the plot. During the first scenes, you just can’t understand what’s going on. It is later in the movie that hints will bring you to understand the rules of the world where the movie is. Of course the director Christopher Nolan is not the only one to deliver the plot of his movies this way. Alejandro Gonzàlez Innàritu, the director of Amores Perros, 21 grams, Babel, and the new movie Biutiful, is one of the master in the art of making movies with such a complex structure. But even if it is not unique, it is different of many other films that Hollywood movie industry has made.
Secondly, Inception is a science-fiction movie that brings us a new world. A world when humans can enter into the dreams of other humans. They can even steal an idea in the dreams, or even put an idea in your mind. The reason why this movie should win an Oscar is that the complexity of the fictional world is brought to the watchers by an intelligent way. They made sure this world would seems incredible by using special effects eith great graphics. Also theese effects helped the story instead of remplace the script, like hollywood prooved how it was able to make movies with only special effects and no script, like Transformers by exemple.
In the end, that movie is not using totally new and unique techniques, but it is an intelligent movie that has a interesting structure and that makes us fall in love with a world where so many things is possible by controlling the dreams. Also, the movie let us with a very beautiful question by asking us if we are really sure that we live in the reallity or in a dream. Because you can’t be totally sure you were in a dream before waking up!
