As we were late, we could not visit the museum but ended up watching Leonardo DiCaprio starring &#8216;Inception&#8217;. Here is a glimpse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dreams Dreams Dreams<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The movie is produced and directed by Christopher Nolan, who directed the &#8216;Dark Knight&#8217; and &#8216;Batman Begins&#8217;. The whole movie is about dreams. Inducing a new idea into a person&#8217;s minds by capturing and altering their dreams is the main theme. The theory behind it is that a person&#8217;s life, memories and dreams are interrelated. Often, what we dream is what happens and what happens in real life is what we dream. Confusing.. huh?<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-1297284887870121\";\n\/* Movie, created 12\/6\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"7273614032\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Plot<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, the handsome hero appearing a bit old and tired in this movie, has a gang with whom he works in inducing the wanted ideas into the target&#8217;s mind through dreams. Of course, he will be paid handsomely for the job. \ud83d\ude42 His latest project would be originating an idea into a businessman&#8217;s mind to dissolve his late father&#8217;s empire and change the business plans. Now, the real challenge is how the &#8216;inception&#8217; group is going to do that.<\/p>\n<p>The hero then recruits a beautiful architect, a chemist, a forger as part of the new project. The main concept itself is confusing for me, and I still did not understand why he needs these three new people for his project. So, the whole movie is about how the gang does this in a long plane journey. The payment for the job is freedom with which the hero can return back to his home country.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the hero&#8217;s own memories conflict with their job making the movie all more confusing. Ironically, time slows down in the dreams. That is, five minutes in real life is one hour in the dream. So, there is a lot happening in the dreams and the time delay increases with each level of the dream. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The movie is shot in multiple locations and shown simultaneously. The cast and action are apt but the concept is advanced like &#8216;Matrix&#8217; and &#8216;Surrogates&#8217;, which ordinary people like me can never understand. We all tend to enter in to a state of &#8216;limbo&#8217; by the end of the movie. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My friend asked us to visit the Putnam IMAX as they have showcased new exhibits.
