Just finished Inception.

I don’t know why it took me so long to watch this film. Everyone’s been raving about it and the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive.

It was long but I never wanted it to end. And I guess in a way, it never will. I started to dread the ending halfway through the film. I couldn’t forsee another ending then discovering the whole film had been a dream. It was inevitable, predictable and would do the film a disservice. So, even though the real ending still had loose ends, I couldn’t have been more satisfied. Was it still a dream, or now reality? Does it even matter?

Deep down, though, I think if I keep watching Inception over and over again, I’ll eventually find the answer. Like Memento, which could have a million different interpretations, but if you pick up on the clues, Memento actually answers who Leonard Shelby becomes and why he does what he does. I can only hope that Christopher Nolan has left me enough clues to discover if Mr. Cobb is truly lost or not.
