I watched Inception New Year's eve. It's a good film if you don't analyze it too much. The premise is that a group of people enter a person's dreams to steal information about their international corporations. When one target catches on to what they're doing, he hires them to convince the son of another international company, who is about to inherit it all from his dying father, to break up his father's company in order to stop it from having a monopoly on the earth's resources, hence, so he can have total control. The act of implanting that idea is inception, as opposed to stealing information, or extraction. It has some spectacular special effects but the film makers don't over do it. You can tell it was directed by Christopher Nolan of "The Dark Knight" fame. He has the same switching back and forth of scenes during the climatic end as he did in TDK. My favorite part of the film is near the beginning when Cobb, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, trains a novice in the art of dream sharing. There's a moment when Cobb reveals to her that they are actually in the dream lab and she starts to panic and the whole dream scape breaks apart. As one who keeps a dream journal, I found the discussions about how the subconscious has many layers and projections fascinating to.

Same I have seen the movie several times now. and think is has been very well done. Just love the concept of old things that we cant let go affecting our dreams. just as they do , they infultrate our dreams until in life we deal with them. I think the movie has taken this dream world to the next level. Brilliant stuff. I would love to be an architect LOL! The graphics in the movie i think were extremly well done!

I love it that a blockbuster film brought the subject of dreams to the public's attention. The subject of dreams tends to be a topic that's not discussed in the mainstream. I think because it just hasn't garnered a lot of interest outside of the realm of spirituality and psychology.
