UNDERSTANDING INCEPTION: a haphazarrd MINI-essay

I both love and hate it when my mind becomes fixated on something......it can be a gift and a curse, case in point: What you're about to read. I love the movie inception and yesterday I rewatched it for the first time in a long time. Now one of my favorite things about a Chris Nolan flick is that on each subsequent viewing you tend to notice more and more inane detail to a perfectly crafted narrative and this movie is NO EXCEPTION. So years ago I came across an infographic that explained all the layers to the dreams in a coherent and easy to follow visual, so naturally I headed to google to do some sleuthing and FOUND IT! after much thinking and a little editorial help from AI (I can admit my grammar and structure are lacking at times......you've read the stuff I write, it's no secret) I came up with what turned out to be a little essay on the topic, CONTINUE READING to know more.

Dakk Reakts to: Project Hail Mary

 

That's right folks! Ryan Gosling back with more cinema gold for your daily life and double bonus-- This one is a SCI-FI flick. When I was watching this trailer I got major Interstellar/ The Martian vibes and upon doing research, turns out this is based off a book and the author of that book.....wrote THE MARTIAN (so the vibe check tracks). Apparently this trailer spoils a MAJOR twist of the book so be warned if that's a dealbreaker. I already saw it and found out after the fact but honestly it makes sense because even in my reakt video I said watch THIS be the majority of the movie and the astronaut lost in space trying to save the world is like the first 30mins. ANYWHO, got super excited when I randomly scrolled across this, got double excited when I watched the trailer and now I'm uber excited for this movie next year (why does it have to be so far away)

Interesting ESSAY on a very interesting film. Worth a mention.

 

Title says it all so don't need to add much. I should mention that I have only seen this movie twice and it wasn't really my cup of tea but lately I've been revisiting films with a less than critical/more philosophical eye so after watching this video I have decided to sit down at some point in the next few weeks and give it a rewatch with this perspective in mind. Life is about growth after all 

Movie Update: The Martian is definitely worth a watch.

Just finished The Martian starring Matt Damon. Ridley Scott's still got it. That story was Solid and I was awaiting to help bring Mark home. Must own on Blu-Ray
(The last 10 years has been a revival of the Sci-fi genre)
