What I really like is how the main characters were able to travel in “class
three,”- meaning jumping into someone’s dream and from that into another dream
and within that another dream. The way the dreams were constructed was amazing.
The characters have a device where they can create anything in the dream and
live in that dream. The consequence of this was that you would question yourself
if you were “in a dream right now” or “reality.” The fact that they have the
power to imagine whatever they want to create, like buildings, and things that
challenged the ordinary connected to my research about mental imagery. Unlike
reality, in the movie they are living in a dream and creating their mental
images like the exact copy of the real object. When the characters create an image, the buildings or
what they are trying to create always twirls around first. This is where I came
across the idea of layering my buildings around a piece instead of them just
layered straight- like they should be. After watching the end of the
movie, I realized that the movie was all about a precious memory that the main
character did not want to let go of. This then gave me the idea to research
“mental imagery.” We imagine
images in our mind that we believe are precise images but scientists say that
“we create false images in our mind” that are very similar to reality. The movie inspired me to create
a decoupage because when the characters create a whole new world everything
moves in front of them; as part of the audience, I felt like the buildings come
out of the screen.
Summary of the movie:
[1] Dom
Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a thief with the rare ability to enter people's
dreams and steal their secrets from their subconscious. His skill has made him
a hot commodity in the world of corporate espionage but has also cost him
everything he loves. Cobb gets a chance at redemption when he is offered a
seemingly impossible task: Plant an idea in someone's mind. If he succeeds, it
will be the perfect crime, but a dangerous enemy anticipates Cobb's every move.
