If you're in the 2nd level your dream will be of 2 hours. and time will multiplicate in each level.

I like it a lot Inception. There's as you said somw points kind of weird but a lot of the film is actually well developed. I loved to see some actual real details put on the Film. Have you ever had, having o read about Lucid Dreaming? Lucid Dreaming is when you're conscious and know that is a dream, and you're free to make whatever you want, without restrictions. Well that's where the film is inspired. There was some great real detailes about Lucis dreaming as the clock one. In a lucid dream you may see the clock walking faster, unnormal. And that's when you know is a dream. The problem with the film is that you see a very restricted Dreamign world, when in a real dream when you know it's a dream, you do the impossible things, like flying, have magic, not follow natures laws. There they were kind of restrcited. But there was so many great points. By what you ask about the architecht is liek you when you dream. Who build those people, cities, scenarios in your mind? You don't need time to make that is build by your mind in a glance. So the architecht it was needed there by someone who needs a person with imagination to recreate with here mind a world according to the plan. If you haven't heard about Lucid Dreaming, give it a try, (i got once a Lucid dream and i tried to talk to myself, i did it, but it was really strange and confusing) it's very interesting and some people use them for Creative reasons. There's actually something that hasn't been proven the Shared dreams, some people "had" them but it's like a myth or something. The scene of the van was weird actually haha i swear someone had to be shot, but no, that's luck then eh? haha. About the levels that's something interesting i don't know haha but i loved the idea that's somethign about Lucid Dreaming too. If you have a Lucid Dream and try to have a Lucid Dream in that dream, in other words, if you know you're dreaming, and sleep in the dream to have a Lucid dream you will have "Hyper Lucid Dream" is like enter to the 2nd level in the movie, just that a Hyper Lucid Dream is more Lucid I never had it. It's been difficult for me to have Lucid Dream but people say it's very Lucid the Hyper Lucid Dream. Well. I like it a lot Inception.

EVERYONE has been talking about how unbelievable, ground breaking, amazing, intense, mind blowing etc it was... but we thought there were way too many holes in the storytelling to truly grab us. Also some parts were a bit too subjective to be interesting. I really wanted to know how the briefcase worked too. An air of mystery only works when it's resolved by the end, I think... Toy Story 3 on the other hand is PERFECT in every way!!!! Go see it. You will not be disappointed. And no, I do not work for Disney/Pixar :) Great seeing you again in L.A last week and can't wait for Wreckorder... I love the new material. Travis should consider doing a show at the Greek Theatre someday! It really is a magical venue. Just wish your set was longer! I was too tired to stay for Keane, but shhh... don't tell anyone ;) -Ani Hi Fran,

But this movie made me wonder if I ever want to "be" in someone else's dreams... my answer is no! People's mind is too weird for my taste..

The concepts they explored were really interesting, but they weren't fully developed. I dig the 'collection of awesome scenes' with lots of holes sentiment. It would have been amazing to see a movie that explored the concept of consciousness vs subconsciousness in fuller detail. But at least it might get people thinking about it. On an unrelated note, your Houston show was great. I've actually never seen someone perform so sincerely--when you talked about your constellation-type lyrics I was completely floored. I've never actually seen a performer do that, talk about their own work so openly and freely. Maybe in America we are too 'cool' to do that. We're supposed to pretend to hate what we create. But it was really inspiring. Thanks! Hi,

I really liked the movie even though it did require some suspension of disbelief. They didn't really explain how any of it worked, but instead took the route that it just does. Same idea as how all the stuff works in science fiction movies. Just seems a little more out of place when it's a movie that at least somewhat based in our reality. I think that the idea of the architect is based on the idea that all of us are architects of our own dreams and do all that on the fly. But a person that has been trained over and over to be aware of the dream state would have the ability to design the "world" prior to entering the dream state. Again, it's a bit of a stretch, but from some of things I've read about people that are self-aware while dreaming, it's not completely without basis in fact. How no one got shot in the van? Well you've got me on that one. I think we'll just have to chalk that up to "Hollywood". The number of levels is really based on the exponential formula that they came up with. The first level would be quite short, but the "limbo" would be 50 years or more. Obviously none of this real, but with their invented pseudo-science they are basing this on, the idea is that there's only a certain number of levels that are sustainable both by the drugs to keep the person asleep through all that and the exponential increase in the amount of time is perceived by the dreamer. There's some more interesting stuff out on the FAQ for the movie on IMDB. You should give it a read if you get a chance. Hey Fran, I also saw Inception while I was Vegas to see you and Keane perform.

He always has plenty to say when we leave the cinema. Talked about how in a way inception needed to be a story split into two parts. As you say, everything was squashed in, and we felt some characters could have been better developed too. We left with the same questions, such as why couldn't you go down more levels. And the whole being kicked from a dream versus the dying out of a dream confused me to some extent too - each dream level seemed to have different rules that weren't always clear to me. Maybe the DVD content will have answers! Maybe that's their plot to secure DVD sales. =P Despite all this I was impressed with the film, largely because it had the sheer ambition and imagination that seems void in a lot of Blockbusters. Better to have a film that makes you think than a film that doesn't... almost crashed the car on the way back from the cinema I was thinking about it so hard! Lol. Oh and Toy Story 3 is amazing. As all Pixar films are. Go see it. :) I watched Inception with my mate, who’s a big film buff and an aspiring director. He always has plenty to say when we leave the cinema.
