As you can tell from the past few posts, I’m a very productive and well-motivated person.
If you can’t tell, that’s sarcasm.
Alright beautiful reader, so here’s the dealio. Well, I suppose there really isn’t a dealio whatsoever when I don’t really do anything on this…Spontaneous thing of mine. Let’s just pretend what I’m typing into this actually makes sense and we’ll see what thread I end up spinning from here on out.
I have an idea on what to rabble on about this time! I’ve just been reminded of the film “Inception”, directed by Christopher Nolan. Personally, I think the cinematic piece is quite a wonderful experience and I love to watch it over and over again. The way Leonardo DiCaprio portrays his character is outstanding and the great script he follows is good to boot as well. There’s a lot of different conceptions regarding the end of the film, however; in the final moments of the movie, Dom is walking through his kitchen/living area and places his totem on the table. There he waits to see it stop spinning, but before he can check if he’s in reality or in a dream, he is called out away from the table and isn’t able to watch his top stop its revolution. And just to tease the audience, the movie’s credits cut into the ending as well, not showing whether or not the totem proves if Dom is still stuck in limbo.
Now, from my perspective, I’m one of those who believes that the top does indeed discontinue its spinning and eventually falls over and on to the table once again. However, there is a lot of speculation that because of how vague the awakening of Dom on the plane is and the attitudes of those around him, it’s very possible he’s still stuck in limbo and did not succeed in bringing him and Mr. Sato back from it. This may be a wrong theory on my behalf and I’m willing to be yelled at for it because even after seeing the movie more than twice already, I still have a hard time grasping the concept of it, but I tend to get the gist of it when I settle down and intently watch it and the details displayed throughout the film. The reason I think Dom is back from the dream world and his job was an accomplished mission is the fact that when he’s exiting the luggage pickup station and goes through immigration, the immigration officer is taking a few moments to check the authenticity of Dom’s passport and as it takes longer and longer, Dom begins to grow nervous and worried that he’s been caught and that Sato’s end of the arrangement wasn’t honored.
When we see old Sato and the weary, washed Dom back in the Chinese castle after Dom misses the kick in the fourth level of the dream, both are confused on why Dom had arrived in the waves and him himself is pondering the reason as to why he had traveled there in the first place; neither of them could remember the deal they had settled when their Inception job was established. But when Dom is leaving the airport, we see that he is fretting Sato didn’t hold up his end of the agreement when (if he was in fact still within the dream) he wouldn’t even recall whether or not there had been a deal in the beginning. So, Leonardo DiCaprio’s emotional stress display helped me see that the only reason he would be aware that Sato had either failed or kept his end of the bargain was if he was back in reality where he could remember it clearly instead of being so forgetful like the way he was appearing back in the dreamscape.
This may be just me, but I think that’s how it is, folks!
Hm, this was kind of enjoyable. Maybe I’ll do it again sometime when I’m bored enough!
