Inception

With 800 million box office and high evaluation, “Inception” could be considered one of the most successful movies ever made. However, despite the profit and award, the movie proved an assumption. The core value and attraction of the film is not CGI explosions and classical heroic acts like other films, it’s the highest subject explaining human behavior and emotion, the most obscure science among all: philosophy. The philosophy of Inception adopted ideas from a variety of prominent philosophers…

A Skeptics Inception In Descartes Skepticism he excises the idea of doubt and the never ending allurement to some sort of doubt that is within life. Descartes says that everything you know no matter how probable or improbable it is has doubt. In Descartes meditation one and two he goes over his three main points of doubt. First, he wonders if he may be crazy, secondly if he is dreaming and thirdly if he is being tricked. In the movie Inception we see the main character Cobb in a twisted world…

them to be like making them solely ours. These worlds feel real because our mind creates them using our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. The movie, Inception, revolves around the idea that we have the ability to make our own worlds through dreams, and consequently choose our own realities. The purpose of this essay is to prove that the movie, Inception, uses dreams to convey the message that our reality is the one we choose it to be. I will prove this argument by analyzing Dom Cobb’s experiences…

not release in reality, this is called extraction. Dom Cobb is a spy who specializes in this exact thing. He is a thief of intangible things, he is a thief of ideas, secrets, and other various thoughts enclosed within the human mind. In the movie Inception, Cobb finds himself on the run for a murder he may or may not have committed, longing to see his children’s faces one more time, he takes an offer he feels as if he cannot resist. Cobb is offered a chance to see his children again as long as…

Inception, directed by Christopher Nolan, is by far my favorite movie of all time. From top shelf actors, to the unbelievably intricate script, it is simply a production masterpiece through and through. From start to finish, Nolan uses the depth and complexity of the plot to have the audience asking questions that can only truly be answered based off each person’s own opinion about what they saw in the movie. As well as second to none visuals and crisp execution of every single scene. From the…

everlasting impact on one for the rest of his/her life. Dominick Cobb, the main character in the film Inception, is completely consumed by his guilt. Cobb is a skilled extractor — he steals thoughts out of people’s minds. Cobb is faced with a new task: planting a thought in someone’s mind, otherwise known as inception. Although this is indeed a new task, Cobb has past experience in the field of inception. His wife, Mal, committed suicide over a thought that was planted in her mind by Cobb.…

In the film Inception, the question that is raised is, is Dominic Cobb dreaming or is he awake. After watching the film multiple times, the answer is never really clear. You just have to pick a side, and believe what you would like. Throughout the film, we are deceived by the totem, the children, the overpowering subconscious, the jumping around of the movie, the fighting that is always happening, and Mal, which leads us to believe that Dominic is still dreaming. The first thing that makes us…

Both Paprika and Inception are the kind of films telling the relationship between reality and dreams. Also, Kon Satoshi and Christopher Nolan are both well-known directors with a large number of fans. However, Paprika was produced four years earlier than Inception, which, in my opinion, also has the content with deeper and more complex thought. Inception is mainly about the demons story of the character which was played by Leonardo DiCaprio. It is a really simple and clear film that can be…

The Inception and the works of Descartes share many similarities within their conceptualization.The most prominent, in my own perspective, is the dubious nature of the senses. Descartes persists, especially in “Meditation One,” that the senses are easily tricked and that one could not know, with absolute certainty, that they display reality. In this film, every dream the subject is immersed in is nearly indistinguishable from reality by all five primary senses. Despite knowing this fact, at one…

The belief that extends from Descartes and the film Inception, is that it suggests that people think they may be in control of what they know and their ideas when it’s possible they can not be. I do not think that people can trust themselves to believe that all their ideas and thoughts our their own. I believe that all the experiences that people have had, influence how they create ideas and how they think in life. Things that a person goes through in life influences their mind, how they make…
