Inception
August 11th 2010 20:37
So, I’ve watched Inception.
And maybe it didn’t deserve all the recognition and hype, but it definitely deserved some. It was a very very good movie, although a tiny bit flawed when I come to think about it.
Normally, I don’t think I’d notice these sort of flaws, but with all the extremely good ratings and people raving about how brilliant and clever it is, I seriously needed something to criticise.
I never really found anything though, just minor mistakes… Like… How they used the same footage twice, maybe even three times, and for a movie this big, that’s just stupid.
Then there’s a question. Something I didn’t realise until a few days later.
But the “thing” Leo spins around all the time to see whether it’s a dream or not, it belonged to his wife, right? Yes, it did. Well, then why didn’t she just spin it when she started doubting whether she was in a dream or reality? I can’t recall seeing her use it… Why not? It seems kinda ridiculous she wouldn’t make that simple test.
Of course, maybe they couldn’t, because that would sort of spoil if Leo was in a dream or in reality, and that would have ruined many hours of brilliant debate between viewers. But then again... He uses it all the time. Maybe it doesn't work.
Personally, I think it was all real.
Because either Leo has some fucked up dreams or someone is inside his head, messing with him. But I can’t see why they’d do that? To see how to pull of Inception? But then why did he come home to his children? Why take the dream that far?
Did he get lost in a dream?
It makes zero sense for the entire movie to be a dream, so I stick to my theory that it’s reality.
Actually, the main reason I believe so is because his children look at him in the end. I don’t think they would have done that if it was a dream.
It could of course be a symbol that he’s forgiven himself for what has happened, and is finally able to return home, even if it’s only in his head.
But nah… I believe it’s all real. After all I am a sucker for happy endings.
It’s a good movie, though.
It’s not as clever as some say, but it’s definitely not an easily understood movie either. There was a lot of action, which in my opinion could have been left out, this movie had the plot and the actors to go deeper and create some mind blowing quiet scenes. It was definitely strong enough to have carried some more subtle suspense. It should have been more like a thriller, and not an action movie.
Well, it might not have blown away the box office if it hadn’t so many guns in it. It is Christopher Nolan after all.
I had a good time. Highly recommendable.
But I bet you already knew that.

I just didn't like it much.
You might be right, but it still seems odd to me that she wouldn't, because after all, the idea developed in her head over time, it wasn't just suddenly there.
And yeah, but I guess they thought it was a bit risky movie, without the action.
