Inception

Got the chance to see Inception in English when was in Nuernberg. Enjoyed it-but didn't find it as confusing as had been led to believe! Think once accepted a few (admittedly bizarre) premises then fitted together quite nicely; although seemed to rush the end a bit and some of filling in the gaps required there.

Actually was so on guard for a Shutter Island type flip-around that when there wasn't one (despite being hinted at,the top symbolizing reality was definitely wobbling into normality) it seemed reasonable enough in comparison! Slightly unnerving to see scenes of suicide as "going back home" given recent events though; especially since there's something surreal and dreamlike anyway about travelling alone and participating in an 'event',even one as minor as going to a cinema. Hard to express but there's something about the way one is forced to focus on oneself when in a strange yet social environment, and when don't have the normal handy distraction of a quick mobile surf(since roaming)! Also go to cinema so rarely it evokes some nostalgic memories ,especially one with old fashioned decor (not your usual cineplex but only one showing movie in English!).

Actually every time I see a movie in Nuremberg it's a bit surreal after. Last time came out from a viking 3D movie to the moon rising over the castle walls ,this time came out to a desolate stop by the cemetary just in time to see the little oasis of light that was the tram rattle away like the something from a Bergman film. Maybe just not used to quiet parts of cities at night-always a bit freaky!
