Simple and powerful movie

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2008)

WARNING: Read this only if you're still puzzled after watching the movie for the third time.
I've just seen it (well, the last third of it) again, this time on TV. Well, not a bad movie, but the complicate plot, overall, did non make too much sense.
But... wait a minute, or, in my case, several years.
A dream lasts few seconds, even when it seems to span hours or days. When you dream you dream your desires, your fears, your regrets and your hopes, but you often feel lonely: people lose their soul, since you're the puppeteer.
When you die, even if your body is crushed by a jet engine, as your neurons die your brain slows down, just like HAL in 2001, while you start to dream for the few seconds left. Good dreams, bad dreams, strange dreams, depending upon what some people call your karma.
In that dream, towards the end, things become weird, images lose their crispness, scenes get apocalyptic, until a cold feeling and the knowledge that the day has come floods your scene.
