dream and reality

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2012)

An amazing story about a relatively less explored topic in cinema, the relationship between dream and reality.
On the other hand the dream world does not look very 'realistic' to me. Of course 'realistic' in comparison to actual dream world we humans have. It seemed still too rationally structured. It more looks like a parallel dimension with a little different physical laws than a dream world with no rational (rational in the sense of coherent) rules at all. In that aspect David Lynch is the true master of dream world.
Inception can also be seen as a doom scenario that shows the colonization of one of the last remnants of "no man's land" in our civilization, the dream world. What once used to be a battleground of our unconscious drives and desires becomes a battleground of energy corporations. But than again, maybe today our energy corporations are in fact embodiment of our unconscious drives and desires? After all if in the above sentence we bracket "corporation" we will get just "energy", which in a way is just another word for drive or desire.
