As we get closer and closer to INCEPTION approaching, we still have no idea what to say. Except for maybe, “JGL is f*cking awesome!”
For awhile, the plot wasn’t much to go on either. DiCaprio was nice enough in March to let us know that the plot-structure works on multiple layers simultaneously. Damnit! I’m already confused with LOST, I don’t need this shit!
I’ve been digging around the internet and found some interesting info over at In Contiention concerning the plot. The article is from last year, so if you’ve already read it, let me know. Or if you still want to be kept in the dark, scroll straight to the pics. Here’s what they dug up:
“In a nutshell, the source says INCEPTION takes place in a world where we have developed a means by which we can enter people’s dreams. Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Cobb has been described as a “CEO type,” but he is also something of a criminal. He dives into people’s dreams to extract information. Ellen Page will play Ariadne, a young college student studying in Paris who is a part of Cobb’s team (along with Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Arthur and Tom Hardy’s Eames). Cobb’s team actually “creates” the dreams and Ariadne is an “architect” of the them. She engineers them. When Cobb’s team enters the dreams, it is not via a machine such as “The Matrix” or “The Cell,” I’m told. It is via injection, and the technology can easily be transported in a suitcase. In one scene (featured briefly in the trailer, I believe), the team actually enters a person’s dream while on an airplane. Cillian Murphy stars as Fischer, a business-type who is soon to become the head of a company. Cobb’s team is attempting to insert an idea into Fischer’s mind to compel him to separate the company into two smaller companies. The reasoning for this is unclear on my end. Ken Watanabe plays Saito, a character blackmailing Cobb. For what reason and to what extreme, I do not know. Aside from him, there is no classic villain in the story, but Cobb’s wife (Marion Cotillard) causes some trouble. The two of them at some point find themselves stuck in many levels of a dream and Cobb’s wife tries to convince him to stay in that world, that it is much better than real life. However, Cobb wants to return to his children and the real world.
I won’t post beyond that because it is a bit of a spoiler. Now, the real reason we’re here, the pics. Two of the photos were part of cracking the code at the viral site.
