Premium Mind Reality Dream
Inception After watching inception twice I am still confused as to what was real and what was not. I have come to the conclusion that the entire movie was Cobb dreaming.

As the audience‚ we can identify that Arthur plays the ego throughout the film‚ he remains as a constant personification of Cobb’s personality.

No one can possibly be so dulled to the dazzle of special effects and stellar cast‚ and the fast-paced action sequences‚ not to appreciate it at some level. The question that Nolan’s unusually intelligent thriller wants us to ask of it‚ however‚ is whether this is a good‚ thought-provoking film by any standards‚ not just Hollywood’s own seasonal one. Certainly‚ the film teases at the limits of its viewers’ intellect‚ with
