Inception is the kind of movie that will completely blow you mind away .It is undoubtedly a mind-bending experience. If you are looking for coherent fiction, this is definitely the wrong choice. I heard people describing it as "mental labyrinths" , "ambitious" when it was over. I have to admit that the movie could be quite obscure to understand and from time to time I got lost in the intensive and complex storyline. The director is apparently juggling lots of information into us, it is not easy to digest all at once. But overall it is still a pretty satisfying and entertaining experience for me. I like the way that it makes us think.
I got back home from the cinema and spent 2 hours reading reviews of the movie on the internet. I learned to appreciate more about the arrangement of the story script and its deep meanings. I don't want to kill the buzz before you guys watch it. I just want to write down some of my thoughts after watching the movie.
1. Memories can trap us in the "limbo" of our minds, unless we go learn to let them go.
2. Dependent people get manipulated quite easily as anybody can seem to implant/project their minds and opinions onto them.
3. Sometimes we make too much effort trying to find approval from other people. It may cripple us. We should always approve ourselves first.
4. We create illusions to make us feel better when we get hurt. It is a natural self-defence mechanism. We hope we will eventually get over it by lying to ourselves. But it never works,
5. If we were allowed to travel between layers of dreams, would you settle down in the sweetest/painless dream and never choose to wake up?
6. I couldn't help but wondering, how do I know that I am not living in a dream of myself ? What if my existence is only part of other people's subconscious? Does that change anything?
