When you have a dream within a dream, can you tell what’s real and what’s not? This means you could be stuck in a dream, thinking it is reality but you’re still in the dream you have never come out of. It is like an endless loop once you go in, you can’t come out without triggering a specific object to get out of the loop. The movie Inception was released on July 13, 2010, and was directed by Christopher Nolan who also directed The Dark Knight, Interstellar, Man of Steel, Justice League, and Batman vs. Superman. 


The movie was good, because if you are the type of person who loves to watch thrillers or a heist movie then this movie is for you. Inception is where Cobb is played by Leonard Dicaprio and his team ( Cillian Murphy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Elliot Page, and Ken Watanabe ) go into a subconscious of certain people to find key information for their mission. Their mission is to go into Cillian Murphy's mind and try to reach inception in his mind by planting an idea of his father’s breaking empire that would benefit Ken Watanabe's company. But while Cobb’s team is trying to get information, a mysterious person keeps showing up to stop him and his team.  


The most interesting character that plays in Inception is Arthur who Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays. Arthur is the guy who makes sure everyone is on task, which means he does the research,  makes sure the research is right, takes care of the details, and helps the team out when they go under ( into a subconscious ). His role is important because if the research is not correct then there’s a chance that something horrible can happen to them and it may take years for them to come back into reality if they have already fallen too deep into the unconscious mind. 


I think the message of this movie is that you cannot let your dream become your reality, if your dream becomes your reality you will see things differently. I think this is what the message of the movie is because whether you are in a subconscious or a dream that has the reality you want, it cannot stay that way forever and in the film, Cobb proves that he was stuck in a dream that did not want to end. And when you dream about something that you want and wake up to it realizing that it isn’t real could make you feel like there is no way you are back in the real world because the dream world felt so real.
