MEMORY - AN INCEPTION STORY

'Memory' as a story is a beautiful blend of mind blowing sequences, blurring the lines between dream and reality. It is an attempt to explore the boundaries of memory, dream and reality, relationships, guilt and forgiveness, and the power of ideas, on a whole. 'Memory' maintains a strong emotional core and focuses more on non-chronological storytelling. In this interpretation the readers, are exposed to a new way the original plot of the movie could have progressed. In this version of the text we learn to see the same bone of contention which was prevalent in the movie from a different perspective. Here we see Cobb's team mates try to navigate complex dream layers to rescue Cobb, who is trapped in his own memories of deceased wife, Mal. The plot unfolds through six characters, each with their unique challenges and obstacles. The interpretation starts from the scene where Ariadne takes the elevator down to the basement of Cobb's dream where she learns about Mal. 'Memory' is an exquisite blend of action, tragedy and imagination. The interpretation starts from the middle and ends in the middle which keeps the soul of the movie; a dream starts from the middle and ends in the middle, intact.
