Nolan's INsanely exCEPTIONal idea

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2011)

Instead of writing how good the directing, acting, of this film, I decided to interpret it psychologically and philosophically:
1. Cobb awakes on the beach and meets SaitoDream or New world??
2. The first extraction starts. 'What is the most resilient parasite? An idea.' Yes...A single idea from Wright's brother create plane and let human fly, a single idea from Einstein create atomic boom which destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki. When you can control it, it is a valuable asset or dangerous weapon but if it is lost in controllable, even a moment, it destroys you.
3. After the first extraction fails, Cobb spins the top (totem) to check if he is in dreamhuman the great become so feeble until need to use tool to differentiate reality and dream.
4. Inception starts, dream within dream within dream, layer and layer, it is just like the never ending staircasehow complex is human mind? YOUR MIND IS THE SCENE OF THE CRIME! The characters are driven by what: Guilty (Cobb), Property (Saito), Curiosity (Ariadne), Subconscious (Mr Fisher), but they don't know! Just like us, sometimes don't know what we are doing..just do it..without destiny.. 3 safety boxes appear in the dream: Saito's, Mal's and Fisher's. They are the subconscious security..but how secure they are? If you think your mind is safe, someone or something is actually changing them. Human mind is so fragile..don't forget..safety box is still can be opened.
5. Inception accomplished..Cobb dropped into Limbo..awaked on the beach and met Saito --- A full circle with the beginning of film!!?? The inception is a dream? Or the whole movie is a dream? Or..?
6. Cobb reunites with children..the top keep spinning but sound stopping.. the ending is a dream? Or reality? Human always cannot (or don't wish to) differentiate reality and dream, true and false, good or bad.
Are you dreaming?
