Films truly reflect life because they usually<br />
reveal something about us that we don’t realize.<br />
They picture the spirit of life as well as the<br />
times we live in. Actions, love, drama and even<br />
horror scenes are life, too. Similarly, dreams<br />
mirror our thoughts, ideas and life. Indeed, the<br />
previous ideas were raised once I saw a film<br />
called "Inception".<br />
The word “Inception “means an act or a<br />
process of beginning. Leonardo DiCaprio is the<br />
hero who is known as a skilled thief. He steals<br />
information by getting access to the<br />
subconscious during the dream state. This job<br />
makes him a famous player in the world of<br />
spyware, but it really costs him everything he<br />
loves. As a result, he gets a chance to have<br />
another task. It is not about stealing ideas from<br />
dreams but planting others dreams to be real!<br />
By DiCaprio’s character moving from one<br />
task to another, I’m pretty sure that a lot of<br />
viewers’ questions are raised, too. What if our<br />
dreams were reality? We would have a lot of<br />
dreams which were beautiful, splendid and<br />
loving. We would want to stay in them forever.<br />
When we woke up from these kinds of dreams,<br />
we often would keep the feelings of warmth and<br />
love with us for most of the day and look<br />
forward to it again when we went to sleep that<br />
night. Furthermore, the dead people could come<br />
to us in dreams and talk about things that really<br />
happen in real life! When my father died, he<br />
used to come in my dreams with his gorgeous<br />
smile. In fact, this really brought comfort, warm<br />
and happiness to me. I felt as if he were really<br />
alive even if his body was buried. If life were<br />
not real and the dead visited us in dreams! So<br />
where is reality? I'm not sure of the reality of<br />
life but I'm pretty sure of the reality of another<br />
life! That is why there is a belief in Islam that<br />
shows that this life is nothing but entertainment,<br />
and the eternal life will be the Hereafter.<br />
So, what if life were not real? Could it be just a<br />
dream? This question is intriguing. It can be<br />
true, it can also not be. If you think for a<br />
moment in your “realistic dreams", the answer<br />
of the latter question will be "true". When you<br />
wake up, you feel they are so real, you can<br />
swear it happened before. If you wake up from<br />
these kinds of dreams, you feel that you live in<br />
illusion and ambiguity. You will understand that<br />
thoughts, actions, and speech imply dreams. So,<br />
dreams imply life. Actually, I’m not trying to<br />
advertise this idea neither convince you but I<br />
want you to think of its possibilities. Let us<br />
suppose that you were able to dream, any idea<br />
you liked and you had the power to live it! If<br />
you began this journey of risk, would you fulfill<br />
all your wishes? Would you say or do things,<br />
which you couldn’t do in reality? Would you<br />
get more and more adventurous? In this state,<br />
I’m sure that you would enjoy both your dreams<br />
and life because you would enjoy the reality no<br />
matter where it was.<br />
Finally, although there are no exact answers<br />
to the previous questions, all those questions are<br />
brought up by " Inception ". It is a good thing<br />
that Inception and other films like that make us<br />
question and reflect about life. How good is<br />
that! For this reason, films, fictions and art exist.<br />
