Inception (2010)

Amazing movie.

It's about a guy, Cobb, who can tap into people's dreams for whatever purpose. His team’s specialization is information espionage. They create scenarios within dreams for information extraction from within a target’s mind. Due to his circumstances, he is tasked by one of their clients to do an inception of an idea to a target’s mind. His team believed that it was impossible to do. Further down the story, it is revealed that Cobb knew that inception was possible all along because he once did it.

The movie explores the idea of the omnipotent subconscious mind; that in it, possibilities are endless. Dreams within dreams.

For me, the movie raises the question: If you get wet dreams in multiple levels of dreams or even in limbo (where you are trapped in the dream), what happens to your body in real life? :D

So yeah it is a thinker. I am still really puzzled with the ending. But I think that this is exactly the ending that the creator wanted to get in my head. I am one of the victims of the creator's great idea, his inception.

"Think about it. How did you get here?"

Definitely recommended.
