Final Project of Chapter 6 Media and Culture School of Mechanical Engineering Recently I watched a hot movie whose name is Inception. I fell in love with the film and I watched it twice. Here are two articles I found on the Internet. Passage 1 The mind-blowing movie event of the summer arrives just in time to hold back the flow of Hollywood sputum that’s been sliming the multiplex. ‘Inception’…will be called many things, starting with James Bond Meets ‘The Matrix.’ You can feel the vibe of Ridley Scott’s ‘Blade Runner’ in it, and Nolan’s own ‘Memento’ and ‘The Dark Knight.’ But ‘Inception’ glows with a blue-flame intensity all its own. Nolan creates a dream world that he wants us to fill with our own secrets. I can’t think of a better goal for any filmmaker. Of course, trusting the intelligence of the audience can cost Nolan at the box office. We’re so used to being treated like idiots. How to cope with a grand-scale epic, shot in six countries at a reported cost of $160 million, that turns your head around six ways from Sunday? Dive in and drive yourself crazy, that’s how. My words This is an article from Rolling Stone, a famous magazine about fashion and music in USA. The passage introduced Inception as soon as it was on the screen. The editor compared the movie with Memento and the Dark Knight, which are also directed by the director of Inception, Nolan. The passage is aimed to attract audience to see the movie. And I think it needn’t to be censored because there are no aggressive words or sensitive topics in the article. Passage 2 It is NOT a dream: The WEDDING RING gives it away. C?}.k4{lI have now seen this movie three times. The first time I saw it I thought it was not a dream and he was home. When I saw discussions to the contrary, I saw it again looking for any clues to tell whether he is dreaming the whole time, and questioned the ending thoroughly. It was not until I saw a post about someone saying he is only wearing a wedding ring when he dreams. Mu
