How awesome of a movie was Inception? Fucking amazing. If there were a sparks note page for humans this movie would be my sparks note. Doubting reality, obsession with dreams, disregard for physics, ceaseless anguish, potent sedatives, manipulation of people, and astonishing handsomeness. My autobiography. No but seriously, i will buy this movie and watch it again....which hasn't happened since that movie where paris hilton was in her red underwear (house of wax or something like that?)...thats how good it was.
After discussing the ending with my bff, i declared it the best ending of all time. Knowing my movie critiquing history and my lifelong need for resolution, he immediately countered with the fact that to this day I have not and refuse to watch any of the Saw movies after watching the first one.
For those of you who don't know or haven't bothered to watch Saw or Inception, you don't know what happens in the end of these movies for one reason or another.
It is absolutely true that I have not watched any of the Saw sequels. Besides the pimp ass song at the end of Saw 1 (some instrumental version of Kashmir by Led Zeppelin on steroids) , there was absolutely nothing good about its ending. In the case of Saw 1, the "you'll never know" ending was strictly used to set up the sequel (and piss me off royally). Thus, I swore to never watch the sequel...or the subsequent like 12 movies they ended up making. That's bush league, Saw. This is what I like to call an empty "you'll never know " done for all the wrong reasons ending. Also known as the gay "tune in next time" suspense bullshit so we can rob you out of your hard earned money ending. Or the we really love to piss people off and we're in the position to do so ending. Sorry Saw, that only works for me in professional wrestling and One Tree Hill. Just as I had suspected all along, the grapevine tells me that you do actually find out what happened at the end of Saw 1 in a sequel Saw. This just infuriates me to no end and proves my point that the Saw people are greedy, up to no good, sell-out simpletons.
On the contrary, Inception's "you'll never know" ending was an amazing summarization everything I've stood for since the day of my birth (i so badly wanted to use the word inception there but i thought i'd spare us all the hilarious pun to focus on the point at hand (couldn't resist myself (a parenthesi within a parenthesi (is there really no singular for parentheses? (see what i did there?)))))...fall. God I amuse myself.
I have always argued that reality is non-existent. Life is one big mind-fuck. Dreams are ridiculously intriguing. Everyone's belief's are comical. Time changes anything and everything, if time in of itself even exists. I am being dead serious by the way. Literally sit down and think (for once?) about how everything got to be the way it is. It's is unfathomable. Language cannot begin to describe how seriously mysterious every single object in our world actually is.
I have so many arguments to present here but i'll stick to just one for the sake of time and the possibility of boring you/making you think i'm out of my fucking mind. Think about the concept of three dimensions. Fucking crazy. Why are there 3 dimensions? Everything could theoretically be two dimensional. You can portray 3-dimensions in 2-dimensions: drawings, television shows. Hell, you can portray 3 dimensions in no dimensions if you want by telling a story to someone who visualizes it. You can think about real world objects and events in 3 dimensions with your eyes closed. You can dream in 3 dimensions and you aren't even really conscious. It (I?) is literally insane. And Lord forbid we think outside the box on this one. You're going to believe physicists that once declared the earth 2 dimensional and believe there are only 3 dimensions?! Fuck there may be 4 dimensions (imagination?). 5 (dreaming/subconscious imagination)? Who really knows?
Point is everything we do in this world may be illegitimate. Another classic example: you could be in a coma imagining the whole concept of reading this blog. How could you ever really know for sure? We don't have a sweet personalized object-magiggy to let us know we are actually "awake". Maybe you drank like 15 beers "yesterday" and crashed into a guard rail and are on life support. But you still have the mental capability to conjure memories about any activity or object you have ever encountered and can manipulate these pieces into whatever scenario you damn well please. (For all intents and purposes, I would hope you would conjure up something more exciting like paris hilton in her underwear but hey, whatever floats your boat).
The "real" point (haha) is that we will never know for sure if reality exists or not. Just like the ending of a good movie i just Saw (too much? i'm just firing on all cylinders tonight).
I'm talking about Inception, Mom, not Saw.
