Initial Thoughts on Inception

Christopher Nolan's "Inception" is the box office smash of the summer of 2010 which is indicative of the film's place in the new century. Whether the film will stand alongside "Citizen Kane" or "Taxi Driver" is up to the future to decide. But it can be argued that Nolan's film provides a necessary contemporary conduit for the questions: "What is reality?" and "Who decides what reality is?"
