The old has passed away behold, the new has come. In the Gospel, the death and resurrection of Jesus cleanses us ( 1 Corinthians 6:11, Titus 3:5-6), and gives us a new identity, when it is received when one takes ‘a leap of faith‘:ġ7 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
#Inception we need to go deeper scene movie
Indeed, the tagline for the movie is “ Your mind is the scene of the crime.”, so at least from a marketing angle there is some moral question at stake!Ĭhristianity then would say we come to need cartharsis – purging and cleansing – because we are first and foremost not reconciled to God – to the God whose mind conceived our reality, our world, long before we came to be. Not tangible, but no less real experiences and desires, though we could argue about whether these things objectively indicate the state of ourselves. A similar thing could be said of lust or hatred. Living through memories, regrets, opportunities lost. Though it is an interesting question to puzzle over, Inception is not about what is real (unlike The Matrix), but the reality of the intangible and subjective – we really do live through guilt, through feelings, emotions and thought processes, and these realities bear themselves out in a yearning for restoration and reconciliation. We must look at what is real for him – after all, what is real when we are watching the movie? It no longer matters in the context of the film. Cobb says earlier that “ we all yearn for reconciliation, for catharsis” and at this point, Cobb has achieved the reconciliation that he sought. One of the questions which arises in the final scene is whether the top continues spinning or whether it begins to fall, indicating whether the final scene was on our level of reality. And these affect the experiences and interactions of our conscious choices. Much of what we do and say comes from deep deep down, a place past the concerns of the immediate and short-term a place we may not often visit, for fear of what might be, or what is, down there in the subconscious. And… I’m not sure we’re gonna like what we find.įor all the dream layers within Inception then, the movie connects well with our reality. And the truth that as we go deeper into Fischer, we’re also going deeper into you. The truth that Mal is bursting through your subconscious. Now Cobb’s guilt threatens to destroy not only his chances at reconciliation with his children but also the people he has brought together for this one last job:Īriadne: You might have the rest of the team convinced to carry on with this job, but they don’t know the truth.Īriadne: The truth that at any minute, you might bring a freight train through the wall. It can grow to define or destroy you.Īs the mental ballet of Inception unfolds, we learn that Cobb is speaking from experience – not only is he suffering from guilt over the death of his wife Mal, in Mal’s life, her beliefs about reality were both defining and destructive. An idea is like a virus, resilient, highly contagious. Listen, there’s something you should know about me… about inception. Beneath the multiple dream layers and visually-stunning gravity-bending action sequences of Inception lies one powerful truth – that our ideas, our thoughts, memories and beliefs, are the most powerful forces in our lives:Ĭobb: I’m going to improvise.
