Or, should I say that the plot is completely irrelevant to the emotional journey? I don't know. They were both fun and satisfying in the movie, and had almost nothing to do with each other, on purpose. I'm sure I'm not making any sense at all.

I saw Inception this afternoon. Wow! I haven't been that mentally engaged in a movie in ages.

Because books.
I think it was a tossup for me between Eames and Arthur. I loved the way they needled each other. Very cute.
And Marion Cotillard is just breathtakingly beautiful.

Also saw Inception this afternoon, and will definitely need to see this one again. I do agree it doesn't matter in the end if it's the "real" world or not. To quote Giles in Restless (probably imperfectly): "Oh, I get it now. It's all about the journey!"

Which one was Eames? What did he do in the story? I know it was the guy played by Tom Hardy, but for some reason, I'm having a hard time conjuring his character and his character's place in the story.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Well, that helps explain why I was having a hard time placing him. Half the time his character is on screen, he's played by someone else. Usually Tom Berringer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt blew me away. Tom Hardy was great too, and stole many of his scenes, but I came away wanting JGL in every movie ever. The scenes where he was basically on his own were some of the most compelling in the movie, even moreso considering the silence. Great physicality.
