Sedated for a few hours of real time, they spent fifty years in dream time constructing a world from their shared memories. When Mal refused to return to reality, Cobb used a rudimentary form of inception by reactivating her totem (an object dreamers use to distinguish dreams from reality) and reminding her subconscious that their world was not real. However, when she woke up, Mal was still convinced that she was dreaming. In an attempt to "wake up" for real, Mal committed suicide and framed Cobb for her death to force him to do the same. Facing a murder charge, Cobb fled the U.S., leaving his children in the care of Professor …show more content…
Ariadne kills Mal's projection and wakes Fischer up with a kick. Revived at the mountain fortress, Fischer enters a safe room to discover and accept the planted idea: a projection of his dying father telling him to be his own man.

The idea of the dream grows and gains credibility. Whenever a character talks about the dream, another character warms to the idea, and when two characters talk about the dream, a third character, who was previously sceptical, accepts it. This is seen whenever Lennie asks George about the dream, as George talks about it, both his and Lennie’s faith in the dream is strengthened. Also, when Crooks hears about the dream from Lennie, he is doubtful at first but slowly starts to believe, when someone as experienced as Candy joins the conversation and shows how strongly he believes in the dream, Crooks is convinced that the dream is possible. This shows that the dream is so powerful, that even characters who have been hardened by years of reality or have just suffered a setback, are convinced that the dream is a reality.

The film I will be analyzing with philosophical views does a good job on giving examples of the nature of reality and the Methodological doubt. I will show by giving examples of Descartes rule that everything is to be doubted and Plato’s allegory of the cave.

The greatest pieces of abstract work either allow the viewer to create their own interpretation or require a clear explanation the artist; the 1966 film Blow-Up is no exception. Both the editing choices and mise-en-scène throughout the film, by the final scene the audience is left with great uncertainty. Quite similar to Inception (Christopher Nolan) or One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (Miloš Forman), viewers question the reality of events or even characters. Without clear declaration Antonioni causes the viewer to question the events witnessed. Presumptively, the main curiosity from the viewer pertains to the final scene where our main character, Thomas (David Hemmings), seems to vanish from the same field shown during the opening credits.
