“Inception”
was a hit. And it is still one hell of a movie up to now coming from the
reactions of our STS class. In relation to a previous session on the
documentary about dreams, Inception was an effective example about the mystery
of dreams and reality. Like what the title says, it is basically about planting
an idea on one’s mind through dreams within a dream within a dream within a
dream.. yes, you get it.
So
about the ending.. I think it was still a dream. You might say I’m pretty
pessimistic but after watching the film for several times, I believe that Cobb
wasn’t able to go back to reality. If we have to follow consistency and all the
technicalities related in performing inception according to the film, Cobb will
stay in Limbo. I’m kidding, sort of. Of course, I would like to believe that
Cobb was able to see his children and everything will be alright and most
especially, he’s in reality. And besides, according to Nolan, the argument
whether the last part was real or not is not the point of the movie. Cobb
didn’t really care in the end. All he was concerned at that moment was just his
children.
In
general, Inception shows us how science (dreams in this case) and the reality correlate
with one another. Although it was a science-fiction movie after all, the powers
and possibilities of dreams are present and cannot be ignored. Dreaming,
however, happens in reality. If inception really happens or at least will
happen in the future, I think that it’s scary and is possible to be disruptive
just like what was shown in the film. It can destroy relationships and
basically everything related to a person’s life. This is the problem with science and
technology and all the possibilities it can bring about especially in the
future. We must utilize these advancements for the good of the humanity as much
as possible.
