Inception

21 August 2010


As many of the fellow students in class said that Inception is a good TOK related movie, and since I was planning to watch the movie with Jenny, I decided to invite the whole TOK class and Ms Jackson to watch Inception together.

About ten people went to Lotte Mart - Jenny, Amy, Phil, Sonya, Joseph, Howard, Fatiah, Uyen, Renevee, Ms Jackson, and I. My mum came along too but she sat by herself in the cinemas.

To be honest, the movie was a little confusing, and luckily Jenny was beside me to explain to me what was going on. Like everyone else who had watched the movie said, this movie was about a dream within a dream within a dream.

Cobb, the main character, accepted a job from Saito, which was to plant an idea into Saito's rival company's future CEO's mind. Cobb accepted the job because the pay was high enough to let him go home to his children. In order to plant the idea, Cobb gathered a group of people which were Arthur, Ariadne, Eames, and Yusuf.

I like how the characters used a normal concept to make the subjects of their dreams to wake up - the kick. I hate the feeling of the kick. It makes me feel as if I am falling from a high place, which is scary, and suddenly I would wake up feeling shocked.

Although it is creepy to think that everything that is happening right now might all just be a dream, I don't think it really matters because

If you haven't watched the movie, watch the trailer:

  1. You have thoughtful entries which make good connections with TOK and your life and experiences. Keep pushing yourself to make those TOK observations and identify the KIs in each entry. Some are stronger than others. Several entries are missing. See the email I sent the class.
