Eh, my reaction to it was quite the opposite. There is even this scene when it's clearly proclaimed that the scriptwriter has simply given up on maintaining any consistency whatsover, resorting to "anything goes" approach instead.
And funnily enough, the movie isn't really about time travel.
- psbp 14y agoLooper proved that you could successfully harvest the story/character beats, and cool moments from other films and shows without creating any of your own. It's a bad sign when all of the "original" films in hollywood are just mediocre remakes of other sci-fi and anime. Same goes for Inception.
- jamestyrrell 14y agoYeh, Looper was quite terrible.
- riffraff 14y agowould you be so kind to as to point out where the inception idea in inception came from? I don't think I recall it from earlier things, and I'd be happy to know about them. Unless your meant "mise en abyme is a trope", which, well of course it is.

- riffraff 14y agoI seem to have been misunderstood: I mean the topic of planting an idea so that it grows by itself. As far as I remember paprika only just deal with the entering someone's dreams, which is a way more broad, and thus common, topic. But I have only seen the animation, maybe it was in the book, or I remember incorrectly?
- psbp 14y agoDid you see the entire movie? The whole premise is that a Japanese businessman is implanting a virus like visual into everyone's heads..
- riffraff 14y agothe whole premise to me is that the man uses a dream that spreads like a virus _to make people go mad_ which is not quite the same as implanting a single idea. It's the same difference as having a virus that changes behaviour (e.g. switch which hand people use best) and the black plague: while technically they may be the same thing I wouldn't equate them. I guess this highlights how things are susceptible to interpretation, thanks for taking time to answer.
