Inception


A man who is looking to back with his family yet has to finish one more task: to plant an idea within a person’s mind.

Cobb must go with people’s mind’s to extract Intel for a living. This is a new way of getting into the imagination process of art. It allowed Christopher Nolan to branch into something creative while still remaining somewhat realistic. The manipulation of both terrain and objects gave the audience the belief that anything can happen in this space and if one could understand it then one could truly explore it.

The main element that makes Inception so intriguing is space. Constantly gravity and physics are being tampered with to show how the dream world is so different from own. Plus once someone is in the dream world, it is very possible for another’s imagination to seep into the cracks. Another element that was used often was time. Since the dream world was so different, Nolan could experiment with time. As we got into each level, it seemed to expand and with this I believe made the film such a great success.  Time and space is what separates Cobb from his family so when this character is exposed to this then he truly discovers the darkest parts of himself.
