rhivolution | Ten Unpopular Opinions About Inception

- As I have said before: it's not all a bloody dream. That'd be cheap on the part of the screenwriter/director/DP.
- I don't see any sexual tension in canon Arthur and Eames interaction, and yes, I do wear slash goggles. I'd buy their dislike as a plot device towards either Arthur breaking his linear thinking or Eames becoming fully a team player (or, less happily, towards one of them turning traitor). Not fucking.
- Now, Ariadne and Cobb have some hot tension, or maybe that's just me being UST and mentor/student shipper for life.
- I don't like Eames as a character. I find him overwhelmingly dull in his nonconformity.
- I hate myself for falling into Nolan's trap of loathing Mal, when I should know better.
- I'm really interested in seeing an expansion of the verse. I mean, Cobb's team is clearly not the only group out there, as Yusuf's work indicates. I'm picturing a worldwide underground with a diverse array of methodologies and ideas, but we only get teased with that. ALL ABOUT THE WHITE DUDES.
- There's so much other world stuff I want to know. Can't I get more of that? Is anyone writing that?
- Casting the same three people in every fucking movie is not good filmmaking. Just ask Tim Burton. I am sort of sick of Cillian Murphy.
- There is no fucking emotional resonance in this film. I like it purely on a cerebral level. This is another Nolan Problem.
- Ariadne is not so enamoured with the team and dreamscapes that she'd be a lifer in the job. Sorry. Part of what makes her interesting is the fact that she can walk away.
