    Like I said, I remember almost nothing about Inception…saw it in theaters once and never again. Here, I’ll list it all out:

    things I remember about Inception
    • they’re on a plane incepting some corporate dude using a briefcase thingy, probably to get a password or do corporate espionage or whatever. It’s the guy who plays Scarecrow in Batman Begins, I think.
    • BWAAAAAAAAAN
    • Leo washes up on some surreal shore
    • Leo’s daughter is important somehow. And/or wife? I think he’s trying to find them? Or maybe he’s just divorced as hell
    • the rotating hallway that was a practical effect
    • Leo’s reality check top at the end omg is it still a dream???
    • oh also Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s in this (he’s in the hallway scene)
    • there’s something about timing with the layers of inception, where time passes at different rates and they sync up using music or something so that they can influence the other layers at precise moments

    genuinely do not remember the actual plot of the movie at all. I feel like it’s a heist movie but I have no idea what they’re stealing or who the characters are or what their motivations are or even how it turns out in the end

      the rotating hallway that was a practical effect

      oh also Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s in this (he’s in the hallway scene)

      He’s also wearing like a vest or something in this scene. It was very 2010s

      Man I loved inception, my only complaint is that the dream sequence aren’t nearly dreamlike enough. It’s like they walked up to the edge of their concept and then chickened out and replaced all the dreams with Bond setpieces. Still a good movie though.

      uhh anyway: a) they were trying to make a trillionaire break up the corporate monopoly he inherited (like the investors would let him do that lmao) and b) Leo’s whole deal was that he

      spoilers

      killed his wife by incepting her with the idea “this is a dream” causing her to kill herself in the real world in an effort to wake up from it

      and c) the important thing at the end is that Leo didn’t look at the top, showing that he had changed as a character and was ready to live his life in the present and raise his kids.
