Re-watched the movie Inception the other day. Now here's a movie worth watching twice. I love how you don't find out the story in order. You find out about some of the first events (Molly's death, and Cobb's exile) towards the end of the movie. But besides that, the movie does take an original look at reality and our perception of it. Where the Matrix choose to simply have a false reality (ours), and the real world, Inception has multiple layers, all seeming real when inside of them. Ultimately, the story leads to Limbo, a dream-state where time doesn't pass, and you can be trapped forever. With each layer seeming real while inside, once you realize that there are layers, how can you tell when you are out? Molly is utterly convinced that the real world (was it the real world?) is just another layer and commits suicide to escape into an outer world she believes exists. In the end, there is no definite way to know. If Cobb made the totem in a dream, it would spin exactly how he would want it to in the real world, rendering it useless entirely. In the end, he never does wait to find out if it's a dream or not. What it comes down to is that he is happy. And if the only way he can be that happy is in a dream, why not dream?
On a side note, the movie has one an amazing soundtrack.
Hans Zimmer does it again
