Who would you do in INCEPTION?

Isn't Inception one of the most awesome movies this year? Inception is a caper movie, meaning one of those movies with lots of characters with individual roles to accomplish a mission. Dominic (Leo Di Caprio) is the Extractor, the guy who tries to embed the idea. Ariadne (Ellen Page) is the Architect, who build the dream. Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Brown) is the Point Man, the guy who does research on the Target. Saito (Ken Watanabe) is the Tourist, who also happens to make things happen in the real world for the mission to carry out successfully. Eames in the Forger who takes in the form of important people in the life of the Target. Yusuf is the Chemist who creates sedatives. After watching this movie, we played a little game and took on roles and figured ideas and things. So I have two questions for you to think about: First, who would your Target be and what idea would you want to embed into their minds? Second, what would you be in your Inception mission? Would you be the Extractor, the Architect, the Forger, the Point Man, the Tourist or the Chemist? My Target would be someone I work for and I would want them to change their minds about how our organization is run. In our mission, I would be the Forger.

I will want to be the extractor or the architect. My target will be all the government officials who committed corruption and also those suspected of murder. I will go to their minds to steal their most hidden secrets. Then I can use that to prosecute them for their crimes. For crime suspects - I will go to their minds to see if they are really guilty or not. Inception is actually inserting an idea in somebody's mind - so this is rather more dangerous if not morally ambigous since technically this is branwashing.

I totally see why you think that Inception is brainwashing. I was thinking the exact same thing while I was watching the movie, but considering that the visible effect on Fischer's face was apparent, it was clear that his mind was changed and for the better. I think that the underlying message of the film about this kind of technology is that it can only be used for good. Yes, it seems a bit manipulative, but as the mission was completed. Fischer gained a better outlook on life, and for Fischer's benefit, that was what he needed after the loss of his father.

If I would do inception, my target would be the corrupt officials of the government, to divert their minds to do good for the sake of our country. Maybe I will be the architect.haha

Hmm...what if you went local? Like targeting your mayor first. But then again, it ain't a bad idea to target he president...but you'll need hefty connections to get into that psyche.

I can't read your comment, because I still haven't seen the movie yet! Each time I've gone to see it, it's been sold out! Maybe next week I'll get a chance to read this over....

I hope you get to see it! If you're familiar with Christopher Nolan and his original films, you'll find that this is probably the easiest to follow :) Thanks for replying even you risked seeing a spoiler! (I purposely let spoilers out)

For me, my target would be my boyfriend, I want to go inside his mind and I want to embed him the ideas of me and how he loves me. Then I would love to be the architect because I really think that the architect job is the most amazing job. I agree with you that Inception is one of the most awesome movie of the year. Even after the movie , I am still figuring out what had really happen in the movie.

The person I would like to be is the extractor, then my target is my beau. Silly, but yes I would like to go inside his mind and I would like to know what he is thinking. Although we've been together for more than 3 yrs for me he is still a mysterious man. Even if he is telling me this and that I still have feeling that there is something behind and he is hiding something. So I would like to know so that I could also play my game. If he is just playing game with me.

Ahh, so you want to be an extractor to figure out what your beau really means when he's talking to you. That's still a cause for inception. Once you've found this out, you can most likely tell his subconscious to be honest to you. I hope he does! I think he loves you no matter what anyway! ;)
