This just occurred to me: you will not be confused by Inception if you'd ever connected (Remote Desktop, Terminal Service, ssh) to one machine, and used it to connect to another
( Read more... )
A common scenario here runs something like Remote Desktop to gateway box, VPN to remote site, pcAnywhere to management console, and then finally SSH to target server. Amazingly copy'n'paste works, but the whole system has teriffic latency and poor bandwidth.
I've not actually seen Inception yet. Is it worth getting?
Yay for Copy-Paste! But you must use a GUI SSH client--otherwise, how would you paste?
Inception is worth watching. I admit that the first 90 minutes of the film should have been compressed into 60--because it gets a bit boring. But the final 60 minutes (it's long!) are brilliant: they're the part of the film you'd want to fast forward to when re-watching. :-)
Whoops, forgot about thisI'm not sure what I expected Inception to be about, but it certainly wasn't what actually happened (and so your post made no sense to me). I think back when trailers of it were being shown I confused it with a different film and so expected a completely different plot. Something about people living in a virtual/dream world, and agents/investigators who could manipulate the system searching for a rogue agent of some sort - a bit like the Matrix, but voluntary and without the robot uprising. I forget which film that might have been though

From the previews, I expected Inception to be more like Paprika (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paprika_(2006_film)). In fact, since DiCaprio has just been in Shutter Island, I thought that this would be similar: some detectives go into dreams to uncover a murder crime.
But I didn't expect Inception--which is really just an action/adventure film. I like the confusion of abrupt scene changes and cuts--designed to confuse the viewer--but I dislike the confusion about limbo. After reading the forums and combining multiple opinions, I've decided that "limbo" is the 4th level; that the two ways of getting into limbo is falling asleep in the 3rd lever OR dying in any level; and that if you die in limbo then you'll wake up. Knowing that, the story makes much more sense--other than why did the Japanese guy on the plane not wake up crazy.
