Inception

finally, after hearing so much about the much-raved about inception, i went with wei to watch it this evening. i think i have heard so much about it that i've no idea what to think when the show ended. but still, the show is quite exciting. it keeps you on the edge of your seat almost throughout the show.

i ended up having the following questions constantly in my head: "will they get out alive?", "will they be able to complete their task?", "will they end up in limbo instead?". truth to be told, i actually felt kinda stressed during the show - trying to follow, understand, and ultimately, appreciate and enjoy it.

at the end of it all, i still think the idea behind inception is pretty much similar to that of matrix, just in a more complex form, i.e. complex matrix. but i must say that the it's still pretty ingenious. and overall, it's really quite cool. the way they had to really plan everything right down to the last nanosecond, and the way they could improvise and think on the spot is really quite exciting - a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream.

but the parts with the wife is like a horror show - she is kinda scary. and all i could think was, this cobb is one troubled man. i mean, to have that amount of baggage, and seeing his dead wife and kids in every single dream he has, how tiring it must be to be living like that. so i guess at the end of the day, it doesn't matter whether it's a dream or reality, i think as long as you're happy is what that really matters. ^^
