[my mum took me, my sis, my l'il brother and herself to see it tonight at 8.50pm as a cheer-up surprise for us all :D, and for all that I'm up at 6am and planned on having an early night tonight, I REGRET NOTHING. Or, indeed, JE NE REGRETTE RIEN)

Dear Christopher Nolan,

You may not be my type, but right now I need you inside me.

(Also, damn Joseph Gordon-Levitt, I remember having a crush on you when I was little and you have grown up FINE. You may join in on the being inside me shenanigans. In fact, I encourage it.)

FILM. OF. THE. DECADE.

Guys, seriously, you know how everyone's going on about this film? If you haven't seen it, make time to. It's not world-changing cinema but good God it's the best crafted thing I've seen in years. There were moments where my jaw was literally hanging open. I am awed by how perfectly pulled off the film was. There are some brief moments of repetition but they work inside the dreamscape and the whole sequence revolving around Joseph G-L's character in the middle of the movie is absolutely stunning.

I refuse to say anything more about it because I walked into that movie not knowing the plot and having a movie that respects you as an audience without deliberately confusing you to the point of not knowing what's going on is a blessing everyone should enjoy. It was so, so, so good.

I won't be fandoming this one. It's just. It's in a class of its own.

ETA: Spoilers in the comments to this post.

It's rare I come out of something thinking "That was perfect. I literally cannot think of any significant way to improve that movie." - the last instance was the Star Trek reboot, and before that - man, I can't think, excepting obvious classics.

I came out of that movie absolutely overjoyed, and not just in a flail-squee-omg way, but in a way where even knowing how much emotional manipulation was in there, the resolutions for all the characters were just so sweet and cathartic, and I loved it. I utterly, utterly loved it.

(Also, the girl AND the non-American people INCLUDING THE CHARMING ENGLISH FELLOW got to be useful, competent, and not bad guys? WHAT KIND OF MOVIE IS THIS?)
