You can't reboot your own movie! This is horseshit.

you dont get to experience more consciousness by dreaming within your dream because the premise is that your physical brain can experience 10 times more consciousness while dreaming than while awake but your brain in dream level 1 and dream level 2 and dream level 3 is still the same physical brain. no matter how many levels deep you go you max out at 10x. you cant go 7 levels deep and live 107 as long. that would require your physical brain to process consciousness at 106 over what the premise suggests it is capable of

We need to find a special chemist who can create an elaborate concoction and let's spend ten minutes of the movie explaining why it needs to be him. Okay, now that we got him let's watch him drive this van over a bridge.

Why are you talking about inception. Its a mess. Unimaginative and pointless. Grandiose but bland. gently caress that movie. You had a dreamscape at your disposal nolan, and you didnt show a drip of actual imagination.

Inception is not actually about dreamscapes though or trying to be fancy pants with gravity despite the marketing and premise. The film is about you should never live your life with regret, be realistic, and take chances before they pass you by. Cobb is a father and widow who didn't have his poo poo together and now lives every waking moment wishing he had took up cocaine rather then getting married.

I was playing Harvest Moon 64 with this kid who lived on my street and my cows were not doing well and I got so raged up and frustrated that my eyes welled up with tears and my friend was like are you crying dude. Are you crying because of the cows. I didn't understand the feeding mechanic.
I've watched like 5 movies on the past 10 years, are they even making good movies anymore?

There is a new Star Wars movie every year for the next 20 years, and Avenger movies are in the same boat. So no.

I watched an avengers movie on a long plane flight a couple years ago. I can't believe that's what passes as a good movie nowadays. It was just people flying around in costumes and shooting stuff out of their fingers, ffs

im permabanned poster dreamstomper58. i first started reading Christopher Nolan when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "dreams" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "dream levels" and "i love that lovely actor from 3rd rock" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "ironic" style of dream humor was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" Inception to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

You mean the memory of his dead wife?

That was the one part of the movie I thought was really cool, his guilt comes to life when he's doing a dream heist. Leo is honestly a major risk to that team from the word go and he doesn't ever get called out on it. He should never have put anybody into that position, and he never does anything in the film that justifies his presence. All the specialists and Tom Hardy do the cool heist poo poo, what's he do?

The cleverness of Inception is overrated for sure, but much of this thread is just goons who didn't listen to the dialogue properly
