Research: Narrative analysis on the opening of Inception

I have never seen Inception before so i was looking at it in a different way to some other students in the class. This is why some of the notes are quite vague.

Storyline:

  • DiCaprio can see into minds
  • hes after the 'secrets' of the asian guy
  • uses his mind to get into the head of the asian guy
  • in a trance, where he's trying to get to something before it catches up with him in real time
  • DiCaprio can control time
  • Theres an old guy who recognises a spinning top
Characters:

  • Dont clearly see the old mans face
  • DiCaprio is the main man
  • Old asian man has power as he is head of the table
  • Femme-fatale is DiCaprio's wife and looks as if she gets caught up in the situation
  • All the men wear sharp suits during the meeting
Mood of the opening:

  • Mysterious
  • Tension builder
  • Eerie music
  • Dark lighting
  • Grey/Black and white lighting
  • Clear relationships between characters
