“What's the most resilient parasite? An Idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules. Which is why I have to steal it.”
The moment I heard these lines in the second Inception trailer, and the saw the visuals and scenes that accompanied, I wanted to see the film at that very instant. But it was quite a few months ago. So what I would do is watch the trailer over and over again.
And then, this extended theatrical trailer came out a few weeks ago, probably with Iron Man 2.
While the first two trailers teased us beyond endurance, this trailer gives us a bit more about the plot and the characters.
Leonardo Di Caprio plays a highly skilled thief who specialises in a “very specific type of security”
Needless to say, the trailer is absolutely awesome. I know what I will be doing on July 16th. I will be standing in the queues to watch this movie come rain, hail or shine.
Other than the fact that the trailer gave us a brief idea about the story, it also featured for the first time the love of my life – Marion Cotillard. The first time I laid eyes on her was in 2006 when I went to see a Russell Crowe movie called A Good Year. Judging from the trailer, she probably plays Di Caprio’s love interest. Here the film gets a bit predictable for a cinephile like me. He probably has to do this one last job that will ensure his future with Marion but is also extremely dangerous and highly risky.
So yes its perhaps a bit predictable but you know what, great directors can make great films from predictable stories. This is why Christopher Nolan is so awesome, this is why Inception is going to be pure awesomeness, its going to be great film despite being a little predictable.
