Inception and Post Modernism

Inception is a large movie that was a massive hit across the United States that was in theaters about a year ago from now. It was all about how people could go into dreams and extract information from other people's minds. It was a very interesting movie that is definitely in my favorite movies of all time. Inception is not only just a great movie, but it also fits into the literary genre of post modernism. One characteristic we see of post modernism within the movie Inception is there are several different worlds we are in. They are not too different from earth, but they are other people's "dream worlds." It is how they imagine the world to be in their sleep. We see one of these worlds is in Cobb's "limbo." Cobb takes his wife to Mall this dream world and they live a whole life together within this dream world. In all actuality, they were only in this world for a short time within one of their dreams. So there is one post modernism characteristic within the movie Inception. We also see a small ethnic diversity within this movie. The main man who wants the information is actually of an Asian ethnicity. This is where we see an ethnic diversity that we have not seen in the literary periods before post modernism. Inception is a large criss-cross between the boundaries of fiction and nonfiction. I believe this is a mix between the fiction and nonfiction worlds because it is imaginable to do this, but it is just not possible at all to do this so that makes this part of the storyline fiction. But then the rest of the time it is just like a normal life so it is in the world of nonfictionality. Overall, I really liked the movie Inception and it shows many characteristics of post modernism. Maybe you can see some other characteristics too! Inception is in the post modernism literary genre.
