Leonardo Di Caprio | Inception

Actors play a big role in the outcome of a movie for the most part. For Leonardo Di Caprio, he certainly did with the mind-altering movie Inception, directed by the film visionary Christopher Nolan. Based on movie reviews, Inception is one of the highest-rated films of all time, and for that, Di Caprio received $50 million—big enough for
investment money. Apart from the sizable paycheck he received, the movie also solidified his superstar status in Hollywood, securing himself more leading roles in big movies over the years.

In the movie, Di Caprio played the character of Dom Cobb, someone who made a business out of entering people’s dreams and stealing secrets from their subconscious. Cobb’s name became well-known to big companies, and he eventually gets hired for corporate espionage. Because of all this, he lost someone dear to him, Mal, his wife. Cobb got his chance at redemption when he took on a seemingly impossible task. He planted an idea in someone’s mind. Succeeding will allow him to get his life back, but it is a perilous journey where a dangerous enemy anticipates his every move.
