10 Stupid Mistakes On Inception

Mistakes In Inception: “We had a lot of conversations about Batman Begins and how that movie kind of re-invented that franchise, and we looked at what The Dark Knight did and how that really ramped it up …. See “Dark Knight.” See “Inception.” Thank you Damon, you’re gaining my confidence. Now, let’s find a way to keep the interest up till 2012.Movies like Donnie Darko, Primer and even The Matrix trilogy have challenged my intellect (or lack thereof). Inception falls into that category of mind-bending cinema that may or may not make a “WTF” hover above your head.Lucky for me, I only felt kind of stupid after watching this movie.As the auteur of indie darling, Memento and the reinvigorated noir-ish Batman franchise, Inception director and writer Christopher Nolan may have created one of the most amazing movies of the summer – nay – the year.

Besides having a really cool cast, the story has so many layers that, if placed in the hands of any other director, may have been a big ol’ clusterf*ck – but Nolan handles it effortlessly.

But what hell is it about? Well, I’m glad you asked.

It’s about dreams and a duo of dudes (who appear to be thieves) who enter them to “extract” crucial information from the dreams of a dreamer. Makes sense, right? That duo consists of Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his partner in crime Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). After finding out about their shady business, big daddy tycoon Saito (our Asian homeboy Ken Watanabe) asks the dreamy bosom buddies to perform inception on Robert Fischer, Jr. (Cillian Murphy), the heir to a business that poses a threat to Saito’s company.But what the hell is inception? Well, I’m glad you asked.Inception is the exact opposite of extraction. Instead of taking something out of a dream, they are implanting something into a dream.There is a lot on the line with this job so they make a few additions to the dream team. Adriadne (Ellen Page) hops on board as the resident “architect” (she builds the dream) and Eames (Tom Hardy), the “forger” who can transform himself into anyone when in a subject’s dream. Then there’s Yusuf (Dileep Rao), the man who makes the potions and such to put people in a dreamlike state.
