So I finally watched Inception and I don't understand why people say they don't understand it.
Bro and I thought the movie was pretty easy to follow. Given the amount of comments along the lines of "So confusing~" and "I don't understand the movie~~", we were hoping for more mindfuckery. Bro felt cheated. Maybe it's because we like mindfucks so much and we watch a lot of mindfucking shows or maybe it's because people here don't watch that much mindfucking shows and they don't really like mindfucks...
I don't really see what the fuss was about.
Yes, it's a good movie with a not-so-clear-cut plot. Yes, the imagery is pretty and trippy. Yes, I think I can see why so many people ship Arthur with everyone. And hell yeah, the spinny hallway fight was still my favorite scene even if I'd seen it a couple of times when all those commercials that aired while I was walking by. But still! Was it really that hard to follow? Is bro's claim of people not comprehending lateral plot lines true? *_*

And now for some spoilers XD
WATANABE!
The Japanese restaurant dining scene reminds me of that scene in Dollhouse where the Japanese guy was "enjoying" himself up in the Attic.
Oh Leo DiCaprio, your bishounen voice does not have the gravitas befitting of the role you are playing, even if your beard tries it best.
Bad Edith, bad!
JGL is the buttmonkey! *pats*
Oh yeah, there he goes. The Architect who isn't Ellen Page. Goodbye.
Hey! It's Alfred--I mean Michael Caine!!
Juno! Another garang-walker. Hurhur... Oh dear... the implications of Prof Alfred and Genius Student Juno... She's not gonna be the next Batgirl, is she? D:
NOT THE BOOKS!! Oh wait... Huh. So *this* is how it's like to have your mind blown. Epic. XD
Mmm... Flirty Eames... Team bicycle. You will serves us well as comical sidekick since JGL is busy being organized, uptight and prissy.
Nfft!! Leo D almost couldn't squeeze through the tiny tiny gap between houses. Time to lay off the donuts?
Yusuf the Chemist! How does bringing him into the dreamscape be useful? Does his chemicals work in the dreamscape too? Uh, okay... Whatever you say, Word of God.
Ooo...
LOL @ Watanabe buying the whole airline instead of just buying the cabin and flight attendants.
Ho! Production Posse!! Christopher Nolan really likes Cillian Murphy with a sack over his head.
And the con is on!
Reality(?): Plane
Dream Layer 1: LA shootout (Eames to Arthur: "You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling." <3) & Bridge drop
Dream Layer 2: Spinny Hallway Hotel
Dream Layer 3: Snow fortress
Bonus Dream Layer: Leo D and Edith's house in their dreamscape.
That building/cliff thing facing the ocean really reminds me of the edge of city in the movie Dark City, another mindfuck movie come to think of it.
Oh scenery porn... <3
And jolt! (Back to Layer 3) The snow fortress came tumbling down~ Tumbling down~ Tumbling down~
And another jolt! (Back to Layer 2) Well done son guy! Your father's not disappointed in you. Your father's lurveeessss you. See? He kept your childhood windmill in the safe with the will that will make everything better! D'aww... whispers: It's all in your head!
And another jolt! (Back to Layer 1) It's all up to Jack now.
...Opening scene. CALLED IT!!
WATANABE!!
And we're back. (To Reality?)
Sly sideway glances all round. Cillian's face saying "hey I know you from somewhere" and everyone's walking away, walking away.
Ooo... Top's still spinning... And cut! There's only two ways this could end. One, happy ending in Reality! Two, everything was all a big elaborate dream! Either way, it's still not hard to understand!!
Overall, great use of slow-mo and the song "Non, je ne regrette rien" there...
Did Christopher Nolan really shoot on location for those scenes? I saw Japan, UK, France, Morocco, USA and Canada. If so, major props to the director! Nothing says the real deal like the real deal.
