    Inception [2010]

    A mind-boggling film of it's kind starring Di Caprio. Waited for so long to watch and oh boy It's fantastic. This certainly needs a re-watch to get the whole idea behind. A completely unheard idea portrays by Chris Nolan and he succeeds. Yet again Di Caprio shows his class. This is quite similar to Shutter Island as this leaves plenty to think. A must watch movie for all. I Rated 10 for this at IMDB.

    Step Up 2 - The Streets

    A good entertaining movie though it based on the same predictable plot as first one. But this has more dancing moves than the first Step Up movie. Looking forward for the 3rd one. Rated 8 at IMDB.

    Inception

    Its my second watch.
    Director always manages to save his cards and save them for 2nd watch .
    His other works like Prestige shares the same attribute
    Yet you'd harvest much from first watch

    But this movie demands at least second watch for all who possessed average intellect .
    My personal opinion this not much of a good practice
    :oo:

    Nolan become my most favorite just not bcz of the excitement or the plots he uses .

    The way he fabricate concepts with human virtues & emotions

    As Ex:- Dark Knight would have been another dumb comic if it wasnt include with scenes like 2 Ship(joker plant 2 bombs in 2 ships and let them have the detonator or opposing Ships) . Its the humanity that defeated Joker not the Batman or any kinda hero.

    You could see the same through Cobb's guilty, and those dreamers who's reality became the dream

    However within my understanding
    Its not appropriate to compare this movie with Matrix ,since these two movie have 2 different concepts

    In Matrix , if my memory serve me correct
    That A.I just cut off the human body senses and feed the brain with electric signals corresponding to a Virtual reality
    It has no time discrepancy like a dream. If your physical body is 30 years old
    so do inside the Matrix

    But Inception describes of a dream.

    Lenardo is hell of an actor , thats for sure :)
    But exactly as Enlightened preached. Ive also failed to see anything new from Lenardo:oo:


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    nolan is resourceful only cos the directors and movies before him set great examples for him...this movie isn't as great as at least matrix. nolan is another hollywood director that got corrupted by insane praise he got and lost the originality he had back then when he did movies like memento. actually this movie shows many flaws of nolan as a director and he's grown so careless to make some dumb mistakes...he seemed lost during the whole gravity thing.

    I admit he has some issues with originality. But his creativity still out there manipulating and presenting the early found concepts in bearable way comparing to the Donnie Darko.

    Eventho the concept arent original he had won the challenge of presenting them in a catchy way to the spectator even if they have seen them before

    Anyway would you care to explain the mistakes you saw ? :)


    yeah what we think is the reality of the movie, could have been another one of cobbs dreams :yes: and I think that is the case, and the totem kind of become a moot point because it could be another one of the projections from his memory, his mind is convinced that it's the reality and then the totem stops spinning.

    Can you remember the event that Cobb tested that Yusuf's drug for the first time ? When he wake up he spin the totem but never had a chance to see the results since Saito disturbed him. May be he never woke up.

    BTW still I didnt get that thing :oo: How can totem thing keep spinning in his subconscious ? What happen he's still in other's subconscious:oo:

    And all around cobb
    knows the secret of the spin, So someone could design a dream level that top just topple when spin it.

    But Arthur's die is good enough :)


    I don't see how anybody that liked inception couldn't like donnie darko

    Bcz it wasnt directed by Nolan :P

    A totem is something, that the dreamer knows with absolute certainty, that will work only in dreams and will never work in real life. Its the one thing that allows the dreamer to realize that still he's in a dream or not. In Cobb's case its a reversed top that will not spin in real life. Similarly, the girl used a chess piece.
    When invading dreams,the conscious mind is able to function so even though he's in another's sub conscious mind. Thats what the dream machine allows them to do. The movie assumes that everyone's level of subconscious mind, where dreams occur, operates the same way (This is one weak point in the plot) so Cobb's totem will spin even if he's in someone else's dream.

    Yeah I think I got it now :yes:
    When he's in his dream his subconscious mind behave exactly as it was (Only the subconscious mind allows the top to spin without toppling) and his conscious mind could check the behaviors of his subconscious mind whether its still the same (whether the top topple ). And if the "Subconscious mind" test get positive(top spin without toppling). Still hes dreaming

    And the weak point you say is
    There is no way that others subconscious mind could behave the same as Cobb's one
    Which mean top could topple not just in real world but as well as in others subconscious mind

    Did I get screwed ?

    right..

    yes. That is the weak point in the plot. The theory of the totem works only if everyone's subconscious works the same way.
    Did I get screwed ?
    By giant rats ? probably. :P

    My bro and me had a discussion and what came up is ,
    In most of the occasion no matter Cob is in another's unconscious mind he still dress as he were in real world isnt it ?
    So we can simply avoid the weak point by assuming that Cobb has invented to bring limited part of his own unconscious mind to anther's
