Inception

In Inception, Leonardo DiCaprio is Dom Cobb, a thief who steals secrets from other people's minds. Because he is a criminal, he is wanted by the police and can't see his family. Ken Watanabe, plays Saito, who asks Cobb to put an idea into another man's head to help his business. This is called "inception". In exchange for doing this job, Saito promises to help Cobb see his family. However, the plan goes wrong and the inception team faces many problems trying to achieve their goal. The main message of the movie is that dreams are not real, but represent real feelings, desires, and emotions. I like this movie because it has an interesting story and a lot of great special effects. So, it is fun to watch and interesting to think about. Go see this movie if you have a chance!
