Thinking about seeing the new film "Inception"? Not sure if it’s a
film for girls and young women? I say stop thinking and GO see this
great film! The TV ads and trailer don’t immediately appeal to young
women, but don’t be dissuaded because this film has some outstanding
female positive energy. I just attended an early screening with my
mom, and I must admit that I love this movie.
Ellen Page is AMAZING in it! She plays the architect (“Ariadne”) who “builds”
the dream world for Leonardo DiCaprio (“Cobb”) to break into. Her character is
smart and ethical – just like Ellen, who is an environmentalist and
advocate for healthy eating. She promoted awareness of environmental
issues and in particular, food justice issues, in the book Girls Gone
Green and in the campaign for the documentary “Food, Inc.”
The other actor I really liked in the movie is Joseph Gordon Levitt
(“Arthur”). My favorite JGL film is 500 Days of Summer. He looks
great in "Inception", with his hair jelled back, his suits sleek and
he and Ellen kiss! I hope I’m not giving TOO much away here. Young
women will love this movie because it’s interesting, entertaining,
thrilling and is filled with so many fantastic actors. Leonardo
DiCaprio does an excellent job, as usual, and he is a long time
environmental activist.
I encourage all members of GGG to see "Inception", which is one of the
best movies so far this year and because it stars actors who really
care about the environment and are helping to save our planet!
Spread the word. "Inception" opens on July 16th.
