How can our subconscious influence our dreams and real life?

Inception tells us how one (Cobb) can introduce himself in the spirit of another (Fischer) and changes his mind by manipulating his dreams, creating fake dreams that seem so real… The concept of the inception is scientifically thrilling and fascinating, even plausible in a near future. But it’s a pity that the director choses to stage this subject abusing of too many FX effects. The movie appears between Matrix and James Bond ones, dealing with spy business but too many action scenes, excess of effects – even they are very well realized, in particular those representing the spatial paradox of the dreams- tend to kill the interest of the concept itself…. The movie in its too linear story telling sounds too American -the characters lack of some deeper psychology, even Cobb’s and Mal’s ones- and one can be deceived in spite of the convincing acting of the actors – to note Marion Cotillard beautiful English accent!


Inception: between dream and reality, where is the truth?

Certainly the amateurs of spy thrillers and action movie will not be disappointed but I admit that I expected an artistic management closer to Lynch’s movies, especially the scenes where there is a dream inside the dream inside the dream, changing the temporality of the spaces….  Anyway, the scenes between mature DiCaprio and old Wanabee remain the most interesting elements of the movie, opening the door at an alternate end, more enigmatic and less happy than the one of the plane… One can feel some mysterious questioning at the end of the movie: is that story only a dream, the reminiscences of a past that Cobb keeps deeply in his mind, the memories of his last mission? After this mission, did he really succeed in coming back home and getting rid of his old ghosts? Or because of a corrupted man, has he been manipulated and never got the money to come back, having to find and kill the guy that cheated him? Or is this part just a dream of a future to change the present will of Wanabee, make him pay for his successful mission? Who knows the real end? It is up to you to choose. DVDM
