Why Technosexuals Love Inception
Inception is a 2010 American science fiction-action film written, produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Ken Watanabe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, and Cillian Murphy. ’Inception’ racked up the most moolah from the ticket window with the Box office receipts of $64.8 million with opening weekend. It’s clear that the film “Inception” appeals to a broad audience, but Technosexuals A.K.A Geeks in particular are burning with love for this movie & to be frank there are several reasons behind this.
- The Hero (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a good looking Geek who works with a team of hackers including his female colleague who is a beautiful, smart female geek.
- Most superficially Inception is a mashup of movie genres that resonate with geeks. It combines espionage, science fiction and action movie elements with excellent special effects, gun battles, spiced up by requisite car chases.
- Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) & his team create designer dreams, defining choreographic action and elaborate settings carefully programmed in advance like a video game.
- These Hackers were implementing an idea in someone’s brain making the person feel it is his own idea. They are attempting a hack that no one else has done before.
- Inception has a doomed love story. We can consider this as one of the prime reason for Geeks liking it. It is perhaps not coincidental that Geeks are usually driver by regret over a lost opportunity or lost love.
- Dreams in the movie sounds like a technology stack yielding unexpected ripple effects across the layers. This Dream’s are multilayered with clear protocols for moving from one level to another.
- But perhaps the most crucial reason for Technosexuals & Geeks liking this movie would be its unsolved mysteries. True to the title of the film, Inception’s end very likely may be just a beginning. There is much more to be learned. We are left with major uncertainties that trigger some vigorous debates. And all these unresolved mysteries would definitely satisfy a Geek.
