INCEPTION 【潛行凶間】: all about THINKING & EXISTENCE 只是思考與存在的命題

首先，這不是嚴謹的論文，甚至不是經過有系統篇排的文章。
這純粹是個人觀影的零碎筆記，所供閱讀的對象主要是我自己。是先整理一下已接收的電影內容，再為今晚第二次觀影做一點準備。 無條理之餘更可能中英夾雜，而且沒有修正grammatical mistakes or typo，不喜勿讀。被刪掉及紅色的文字為第二次觀影後的修正。

所以，假如你還打算讀下去，請明白我假設你跟我一樣，已經相當程度地理解「我思故我在」的命題。



壹. 沒有被電影畫面呈現出的現實空間
1. Cobb got 2 children and a wife in the reality
2. Probably something happened between cobb & his family, cobb feels guilty

貳  壹. Dream Layer 1
This is the layer which presented as "REALITY" in the film. Scenario incl.:
- Extraction (several layers of dream incl.) of Saito
- Saito hires Cobb for Fischer's inception
- Cobb recruits his team for inception
- Cobb's team and Fischer on the flight
- 5 4 layers (3 layers for Fischer's inception, 1 layer of Cobb's shared with Ellen Page which brought Fischer along, and limbo of Saito & Cobb & limbo)
- Cobb's narrative on his wife's inccident
- last scene of Cobb's re-encounter with his children at home

1. Cobb doesn't realize this is a dream. Or say, Cobb refuses to admit think or doubt if this is a dream. Cobb keeps hiding from (unknown) authority.

2. An inception implanted in Cobb that he's able to achieve his salvation if he trust a powerful (of unknown) person (Saito) for no reason, and work for this person in return. This powerful person will make a phone call (to unknown), and say something (unknown) to wash all his guilt away, and allow his re-encounter with children.

3. This inception of inexplicable believe in Cobb is just exactly comparable to what Cobb implanted in his wife about getting salvation reaching the exit and be saved from unknown  by waiting for a train full of unknown (death): "You're waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away. You can't be sure where it will take you. But it doesn't matter because we'll be together."

4. Most importantly, Cobb never "THINK" in this presented "reality". He refuses to think or doubt even when his wife reminded him several times, both in this "reality" and "limbo", she asked what if Cobb in this presented reality is wrong, what if there's another children somewhere (she means in the real reality) waiting for them, but Cobb refuses to think & doubt, Cobb just believes his believes.

Reason why the wife keeps reminding Cobb if this is not the "reality" just reflects Cobb's conscious.

Since he didn't think (doubt), he never able to prove this "reality" is "reality", and no way to prove he is the "real he".

Cobb's father once advised him to "come back to reality" , but Cobb refuses to think of any of that advice. He just insisted again what he believes: the children are waiting (in this "reality") for their dad to come back.

That's why i say, this "presented reality" is "Dream Layer 1", or say, it's the status you have no way to prove for its existence.

5. Also, the way they back to the plan is lost. We don't know what happened Saito & Cobb in limbo, and how they're back. That's just exactly the way we dream as stated by Cobb to Ellen Page at the beginning : You dunno how it starts, you are always somewhere of the dream.
