Inception. Christopher Nolans 2010
The story follows the character of Dominick “Dom” Cobb
(Leonardo DiCaprio) who is a former dream architect. Their first target in the
film is a high-ranking powerful Japanese businessman called Saito (Ken
Watanabe). Dom and his associate Arthur (Joseph Goron-Levitt) have Saito in a
dream within in dream to try to extract information from Saito subconscious,
but due to complications in their plan, Saito find out that extraction is being
performed on him and captures Arthur and Cob and is planning to torture them as
you can still fill pain the dream Cobb shots Arthur in the second dream so he
wakes up in the first dream. Arthur gives Dom a kick in the first dream to wake
him up from the second dream, the kick also wakes Saito up and he thinks this
is the real world but before Cob can obtain the information the group gets
attacked by a mob and wake up on a train on the way in to Tokyo and the extraction
get off of the train before Saito wakes up and realises who they are.
Saito set out to capture Arthur and Cob and he succeeds but
instead of killing them like the characters think he gives them a job to
complete, which is to destroy his biggest energy competitor run by a ailing
Maurice Fischer, by planting an idea in his son Robert Fischer (Cillian
Murphys) head to destroy his fathers company when it is in his hands. If Cob
succeed in this, Saito would pull some strings to have the murder charge on
Cob’s head dropped for apparently murdering his wife, but in fact Cob is
innocent as his wife committed suicide and she did not see the real world as
real as she thought in was a dream and jumped off a building to try and wake up
from a dream. Cob cannot refuse this offer, as he cannot get home to see his
children.
Cob assembles a crack team of people he has worked with in
the passed and who he trusts they start to form a plan. They put this in to
place when Maurice Fischer dies in Los Angeles, and his son Robert is in
Sydney. They take advantage of the length of the flight Robert has take to go
see his dead father. They successfully succeed in their plan, with a few twists
and turns in the plot in the storyline and Robert fisher dissolves his fathers
company. When they all get off the plane they all go their separate ways and
cob can now go home to see his children, which he does. When he’s in the house
he spins totem witch will tell him if he is a dream if it doesn’t stop
spinning, but if it falls it is reality. The camera does a close up on the
totem whist it is spinning and blacks out before it falls. So is he still in a
dream?
