I think Ken Watanabe is a great actor. His performance in Letters from Iwo Jima was impressive and his recent role in Inception was superb. That is why I must agree with Leonardo DiCaprio when he said that Watanabe should be one of Japan’s national treasures.

He’s worked with top notch actors/actresses (Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Zhang Ziyi) and a-list directors (Christopher Nolan, Clint Eastwood), it’s no wonder that Watanabe is such an awesome actor.

At the Los Angeles premiere of Inception, DiCaprio complimented Watanabe by saying, “He’s an unbelievably talented actor. He should be a national treasure in Japan.” What a compliment!

Here’s a trailer for Inception. I recommend watching this movie!

Also, am I the only one who thought about Shutter Island while watching Inception?
