"we mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger darling" oh, the two of you had sex? you explored each others bodies one drunken night? now the two of you are left to wonder if it meant more to you than it did to him? if the chemistry is nothing more than a game to be won? if asking him to dinner would make you a fool; the loser of the match?

the endless list of my favorite movies : Inception (2010) written and directed by Christopher Nolan.

-She had locked something away, something deep inside her. The truth that she had once known, but... she chose to forget. Limbo became her reality. -What happened when you woke up? -To wake up from that after, after years, after decades… after we'd become old souls thrown back into youth like that… I knew something was wrong with her. She just wouldn't admit it. Eventually, she told me the truth. She was possessed by an idea, this one, very simple idea, that changed everything. That our world wasn't real. That she needed to wake up to come back to reality, that, in order to get back home, we had to kill ourselves.

if you don‘t personally own one but your roommates/parents do and you are allowed to use it, that counts as yes

no multi option, agonize and choose, no results option, pick one to find out or scroll onward

Something about Inception has always bugged me and I finally figured out what it is

I don’t think Mal doing everything she did to set Cob up should have been the backstory, it should have been the actual story, and the actual inception they have to do is convince her she’s not still in a dream and is awake

Because two energy companies feuding is way more boring than a man realizing he accidentally convinced his wife her reality isn’t real and they have the ticking clock of her Gone Girl-ing herself and getting him arrested to work against

In the movie they have the problem of the guy secretly having had dream training to protect himself but with Mal, she’s as experienced as every other person on the team, she knows every trick they do and would be able to see them coming, meaning they would have to try and come up with new tricks she could not know or anticipate

In the movie the characters think if they die they’ll just wake up like normal and Cob has to tell them that actually they’re under a new chemical that won’t wake them up if they die and they’ll go to the bottom consciousness zone. Know who doesn’t know that? Mal, who will be under the impression that if she kills her husband she’ll be waking him up and saving him from being trapped in the fake dream world with her, making her very ok with tracking him down to kill him and not caring if she kills the others because as far as she knows they’re just dream apparitions

And you can keep the fact that Cob is keeping things from the team like in the movie, only instead of it being that he has a guilt manifestation of his dead wife coming after him in dreams it’s that the team doesn’t know why they’re going into Mal’s dream. All they know is she’s been acting weird towards them and Cob said he accidentally incepted something bad in her head, so they just assume he’s incepted the idea that they screwed her over or something. But they then find out too late that she isn’t mad at them she thinks they’re not real and so will have no problem trying to kill them and there’s nothing they can do to convince her otherwise

And you can still have the uncertain ending. Mal would wake up and think she’s finally in the real world, go out and hug her kids, see her friends and hug them because it’s finally her real friends. But now Cob has spent, to him, hours with Mal doing everything in her power to convince him that what he thinks is the real world is only a dream and as he watches the happy reunion you can see him starting to wonder if this is real
