Film Analysis Of The Movie Inception

In the film Inception, there are several insistences where the dreamer is in a preconciousness state. Preconciousness is the information about someone or their surroundings that they are not thinking about, but could be recalled. Cobb says, “Well dreams, they feel real while we're in them, right? It's only when we wake up that we realize that something was actually strange. Let me ask you a question, you...you never really remember the beginning of a dream, do you?

Rumor has it, Christopher Nolan, - now 45 and director of many big budget Holly Wood films such as; the Batman movies; Interstellar; Man of Steel; etc. and of course, Inception - took 10 years (on and off) perfecting the script of Inception to try and make the main character in the movie, Dominick "Dom" Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) have an emotional connection with the audience. Or maybe he was a few layers deep into a dream which made it feel like 10 years, but in reality, was only a day or two...

The video suggests that the most accurate theory for the explanation of where dreams comes from is the theory proposed by J. Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley known as the activation-synthesis model of dreaming. The video has a very simple and easy to understand explanation of this theory. It states that “normal signals from our brains

The movie Inception by Christopher Nolan is a very imaginative film. It is about a group of con-men (and a woman) who are going to attempt “inception” or implanting an idea in a person. To do this they have to go into their dreams deep enough so that they think it is their own idea, not a foreign one. To achieve their goal they go deeper and deeper into the target's mind by going into a dream within a dream within a dream. There are many challenges and rules to this process. There are many non-canon theories about the movie as well, such as underlying plotlines and endings.

The characters in “Inception” are masters of altering and changing reality through the dream world which is somewhat similar to Dorian Gray ability to defy reality and have eternal youth. In “Inception” there is one place that is not one of the three dream levels but is described as a place of “Just raw, infinite subconscious” were people who die inside of a dream are placed and in most cases trapped unaware that they are still in a dream. Now in Dorian Gray there is not a definitive limbo like in “Inception” but Dorian Gray is still supernatural while the rest of reality is still considered to be normal. But in both cases they still have supernatural occurrences involving dream travel and special abilities, and obstacles that you face when

The movie we watched this week is called Inception. Inception is a really good movie and I liked it a lot. They did a really good job with this movie. I did not really have any expectations before seeing this movie because I didn’t ask anybody about the movie, nor did I read any reviews on it. After watching the movie and understanding what it is about, it really is a great movie. I like how they made it to the point where it was just on the line of confusing the audience and not confusing the audience. This movie is not the type of movie someone can just watch and stop halfway through because they don’t understand it. This is the type of movie where you have to watch it till the end to understand the importance of inception to the main character and understand the full story.

What is Inception? Inception is the act of entering his or her dream and instilling an idea. “Inception is a film that explores the many natures of the mind. In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a highly skilled thief is given a final chance at redemption which involves executing his toughest job to date: Inception” (IMBD).

Dreams occur during the REM (rapid eye movement) stage of the sleep cycle. During that time, “the heart rate and breathing quickens and the blood pressure rises,” creating more impulses in the brain (Obringer). Most dreams last anywhere between five to twenty minutes, and “during a typical lifetime, we spend about six years dreaming” (Obringer). The purpose of dreams is debatable. Some believe that dreams allow the “ brain to prepare itself to face threats, dangers and challenges,” or that they reflect the daily occurrences in a person’s life (Breus). Throughout the years, people found correlations between dreams and their meanings. Some of the most common dreams people have include, falling, flying, being chased, and teeth falling out. For instance, teeth in a dream symbolize a person’s confidence, so falling out teeth states that something “is causing your confidence to crumble in waking life” (Spector). Certain dreams can also inspire new discoveries or inventions. Dmitri Mendeleev was said to have dreamt about the period table, which is a very important tool in chemistry today. This novel will give more examples of famous inventors, and a full dream interpretation

The use of practical effects and less CGI in the movie Inception makes the film more believable and keeps the audience’s attention.

For this week’s viewing, I chose to watch Inception. The key concept that I noticed in the movie was pitch, specifically

Have you ever wanted to be in control of your dreams? Or, what if people can enter your dreams and can steal the information stored away in the back of your mind. In the film Inception which is directed by Christopher Nolen, which is a two and a half hour science fiction thriller that was released in 2010. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), steals corporate secrets through use of dream-sharing technology. In an odd reversal of roles, Dom is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of a CEO.

The entire concept of the film alludes to the French philosopher Rene Descartes who believed that “dreams and waking life can have the same content” making it difficult to differentiate between the two. Descartes contributed to the idea that the “reality” awoken into could possibly be another dream. He addresses that majority of humans have experienced a dream that seemed real as if they were experiencing it, only to awake into reality. Inception supports this theory and demonstrates the struggle of knowing what is real through the characters in the film. It emphasizes Descartes belief that humans lack certainty when the characters have manipulated the “dream in a dream” concept to the point where they begin to question whether they're existing

According to the text, every good movie has two major ingredients. The two ingredients are none other than “a good script, and a directors inspiration, vision, intelligence, and supervision of all aspects of the film’s production” (Barsam 483). Inception is no exception to this rule at all. Inception uses a unique familiarity technique in modern cinema of alienating and shocking the audience throughout the film. The audience members are thrown in the middle of a scene right from the start of the film with close-ups of Cobb’s face. Abruptly the movie spontaneously moves to another scene where Cobb and Arthur are talking to Mr. Saito, making the scene to appear to be “present time”, only to have the scenery switched once again to an apartment where everyone is asleep. Unfortunately that wasn’t the end scene jumping as it turns out everyone is asleep on a train

In the opening to the film Jake narrates by describing a dream of him flying over a forest, but states that eventually you have to wake up. This distinction is exactly the analysis I used to understand our waking self and dreaming self in my first Meditation. In understanding this difference we discovered doubt is the key to making the distinctions between waking and dreaming. Jake knows that he is in a wheelchair and that this flying sensation, therefore, the state he is in must be a dream; his disbelief in this reality allows him to make the distinction. His uncertainty is challenged further as the
