Subconsciousness.
Extracting secrets from one during vulnerable sleep
And planting realism within surrealism.
Have you ever tried connecting the storyline with the real world..
Perhaps that was how top secrets got stolen..
How inspirations from the most ingenious creators got leaked out..
How one powerful figure in the business world suddenly changed his mind on the collaborating decisions he made?
Inception left us breathless.
It's a word that really exists.
And it portrays a world that is so paradoxically tangible and undeniable,
An idea that was so successfully planted into the audience minds when they left the cinema..
Inception was first developed by Christopher Nolan, based on the notion of "exploring the idea of people sharing a dream space — entering a dream space and sharing a dream. That gives you the ability to access somebody’s unconscious mind.
In actual fact,
Christopher Nolan was not the first to play around with such lucid dreams..
In most of Shakespeare's plays
Like the hypothesis of the labyrinth of thoughts in Hamlet's cultivated mind..
Or the theme of "dream hath no bottom" to which Midsummer Night's Dream was based on..
This genius of all dramas and plays stirred the concept before, mercilessly.
I thought I saw a resemblance in their preoccupations of the human mind.
The way Nolan tells a story,
The way he played with complex reasoning,
The way he experiments with the complicated maze of human intellect..
It's mind blowing.
Simply a genius thinker like Shakespeare in modern time.
I'm really impressed by the way he made a comprehensive observation on the human body and behaviour.
How one can never remember how he first got into the dream..
The minute an idea is planted in the mind,
No matter how hard one tries to rid it, it will be fruitless.
The part where the show pulled in the water gushing effects, the gravity defying moments..
