Inception
Beginning with an ominous music, like metal or an orchestra but it inspires something evil and dark, slowly growing loud like it’s growing closer. Then we cut to waves crashing on a beach, the peaceful sound contradicting the previous music and the backdrop very bright to the black that accompanied the previous music.
Leonardo’s character is seen washing up on shore, a close-up of his face as he slowly blinks his eyes open. We then hear children, rapidly cutting to them and in slow motion watching as they play in the sand, the camera cuts between the two seamlessly before we have a low angle shot of a Japanese soldiers face.
We cut to an oriental Japanese room, with low lighting and an old man seen with his back to us. He wear a suit, indicating power and command while Leonardo’s character is dragged to a seat opposite and given food. At this moment in time we rarely see their faces, only the hands of the old man (Saitou) and Leonard’s bent head.
They begin to talk in low, whispering voices as if something from a dream or blurry memory. Then Leonardo looks up slowly and the tension peaks and before he can say anything we have a sharp cut to a new scene.
