What’s the most resilient parasite? A bacteria or a virus? It’s an Idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules. Which is why I have to steal it. Quoted by Cobb. Inception is an excellent movie, why? Because it will inspire you the idea of what dreams is, in terms of comprehensions and perspectives, it redefines logic and the definition of dreams itself. So too it had inspired me.
Christopher Nolan is a man of reasons and convictions; any movies that he directed gives a meaning to it, in term of plot and storyline. As he directed some of the most renown movies ever: The Dark Knight, The Prestige, The Memento and so forth. They all possessed the elements and effects of what a movie should have, and yet Inception is his latest masterpiece in 2010. It will perhaps psychologically scarred your brain to watch this movie again and again.

Perhaps I’ll provide a foreknowledge of what to come if you’d watch this film. In a dream state, there are 4 levels; each time you get deeper into the dream, it’ll get easier to wake up into reality due to the unstable state of mind. Here’s a catch: 5 min in reality equals to 1 hour in the dream state, but if you go deeper into the levels, it will increase the amount of time in dreams. Notably, 10 hours in reality might equals to 1 week in the dream state. Fascinating innit?

And there’s a forbidden level that no one should have enter, level 4. This level is a place where a relentless and infinite numbers of dreams occur and Cobb is the only guy that went through level 4 and get out a whole. How did he get out? But you said you can’t get in and get out. Yes, I did but he use a “kick” and indeed it was a type of physical “kick”. A kick means that a certain stimulus to trigger an area of a brain to excite the processes in the brain, thus the information agreement in terms of perceptions seek to find out what is real. This stimulus could be punching, kicking, drowning in water, slapping and so forth.
