“Inception” Exception
August 16th, 2010
I’m a bit annoyed as a Science Fiction fan the film “Inception” has not yet appeared on local theater screens here in China. I write in The Diplomat…
“I haven’t seen Aftershock, nor have I any intention of seeing it since it just seems like a bigger budget version of the kind of thing they show so often on Chinese TV in which earthquake/flood/typhoon (take your pick) demolishes a happy Chinese town (which seems a bit of an oxymoron in these days), after which the People’s Liberation Army marches in and picks up the pieces (literally). Actually, I only have to turn on the nightly news here to see the PLA march in to save the day after a flood/mudslide/drought/typhoon/earthquake has decimated a region.”

Hehe… Just watched “Inception” this Saturday (actually, wanted to watch “Expendables” with Stallone, but by time we arrived to cinema all tickets for it have been already sold out).
As for “Inception” – I think that the idea of movie is better than the implementation. Dream in the dream in the dream in the dream is like trying to imagine the meaning of “I know that you know that I know that you know…”
At some point it becomes meaningless.
