The movie revolves around Dom Cobb, a thief with the rare
ability to enter people’s dreams and steal their secrets from
the subconscious
His skill made him a hot commodity in the world of

PLOT corporate spying but also cost him everything he loved

In the movie, Cobb got a chance at redemption when he was


offered a seemingly impossible task

This was one last job could give him his life back but only if
he can accomplish the impossible, inception

Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists


pulled off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea, but to
plant one
If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime, but no amount
of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the
dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move, an
enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming
THEME
• The Movie Inception basically revolves around seven themes. They are as follows
Inception begins and perhaps ends inside of a dream, and every scene asks the viewer to assess whether what they are
Dreams seeing is in fact a dream or not

Reality, or the veneer of reality, is a key aspect to Inception, one that informs not only the scenes where the characters
Reality inhabit the external world but also the ones where the characters are dreaming.

Inception is a film that revolves around the use of military-grade technology in a rivalry between two multinational
Warfare corporations, led by Saito and Robert Fischer

Cobb can no longer build dreams because he still harbors guilt over the circumstances of his wife's death, and is thus
Memory haunted by the projection of her memory

Architecture In Inception, the creation of dream worlds requires a skilled architect, who can painstakingly craft the surfaces and
structures of the world itself

Dreams confuse the subjective experience of time in Inception in several ways. As Cobb explains to Ariadne, an hour in a
Time
dream is only five minutes in reality

Cobb's feelings of guilt over the circumstances of his wife's death provide the emotional centre of the film. Specifically,
Guilt Cobb feels guilty for performing inception on his wife Mal, so that she would agree to wake up from the fifty-year
dream they shared together and be with their children again
