I was just watching the movie Inception, that I still like, so I saw it many times before and sometimes just like watching again. And one of the scenes I like most is when the girl, the new to be designer of the dreams, starts messing with reality, with the physics of things, turning a part of Paris on top of another part of Paris. And she does it with so much imagination, like closing mirror like doors near or on a bridge over the river Seine. And twisting more things around in a way that is kind of believable, but in the end is not. A bit like in the old cartoons, where cartoon characters walk off a cliff in a straight line and only fall when they see they’re not on stable ground anymore.
And yes, also this movie is a good sample of real success, a whole team of people creating something virtually perfect, at least I never really saw mistakes in movies, although I know there are. And yes, I know how much effort is put in such a result, how much practice by the actors, how much directing by the directors, how much editing by the editors. And you just watch it and don’t realize what an enormous amount of effort (and money) it takes to create a movie like this.
Ah, and I forgot the writer and/or the person or group of people who came up with the idea, the basic idea for this movie. And again, everything starts with an idea, like the idea of dream within a dream that makes this movie, the concept of inception, of planting an idea in someones mind without him knowing it, so interesting, so unique, so worth of watching.
And yes, as in most or all movies, it is also always about people, about reality, about humans, about humanity, like in this case a father doing everything to be back with his children, as any father in real life would do.
And yes, still something else in my mind, as I have always been wondering how the movies Inception and Shutter Island are related. As part of the plot is so similar, a father wanting to return to his children. And they ware made around the same time and the main character in both movies is played by Leonardo DiCaprio, so that cannot be coincidence. And both are dealing with some kind of virtual reality, something playing with the mind, with minds.
And I’m not sure how to continue with this post, how to make something really inspiring out of it. Or maybe just that both movies, like all ‘Hollywood’ movies are made being perfect, meaning are made successfully, are made by successful people, by successful teams. And that both movies are full of ideas like ‘idea’ and ‘mind’ and maybe even something like Infinite Intelligence.
