Inception
Saw the movie 'Inception'. Liked it a lot. The protagonist (Leonardo Di Caprio) is an 'architect' of dreams who creates dreams and delves into those alongwith others at times, building entire cities and scenarios as well as different levels of reality. There are 'totems' to remind one of the 'real' reality, so that one can come back from dreams. The catch is, the real-time in dreams is much longer than our real-time. E.g. if one dreams for an hour in the real world, it translates into days in a dream. The movie is excellent, exploring constructs and sub-strata of the human mind with dexterity. It's fiction, but one that makes you think of the reality of reality.
Inception is, in a sense, Matrix reversed. The former tells you that we do exist in reality, but at the risk of losing our bearing if faced with semi-real realities of the subconscious realm. However, Matrix is all about 'Maya' and the unreality of our reality.
Overall, Inception is a good movie, a must-see for movie buffs (though I'm not exactly one).
