Inception

Inception has had many reviews. Critics analyzing various dimensions of the film. Its nice to hear the reviews each one presenting his own ideas about the pros and cons of the movie. But as far as I saw there was not a single review that dealt in depth with the concept. This instigated me to write this piece.

Primarily, Nolan deserves an applause for the conceptualization. When one sits and thinks about the inception of this idea, you get plenty. One idea which seemed suitable is this. I hope you have heard of the term psycho-analysis. Its used to study the inner depths of the brain. Narco-analysis is used by certain agencies to get information out of some interesting people. Thus, this should have been the starting point for the writer. By the likes of 'Matrix' shared-dreaming concept must have been incorporated.

The mere concept of extraction is based on real life but the concept of shared dreaming is the sci-fi part.It may indeed sound like fiction when one says one can plant an idea in one's mind. In reality you can do that on your own self.

You would have definitely heard of meditation or hypnosis. Indeed, meditation is also a hypnosis that you perform on your self. As you go deeper and deeper into your mind it gets ugly and things go out of control. One needs copious amounts of practice as said in the form of a skilled extractor to guard against the volatility inside the greater depths of your brain. I advise you to try meditating and plant simple thoughts into your brain to become a nice person.

Try meditating. Try yoga. Inception is just a cinematic representation of meditation. Hope Nolan sees this ;-)
