Hi i am a big Inception fan and i have an interpretation of the movie a lot of you will get a kick out of...
especially the more "Darwinian/biologically" oriented of you lot..
Well i have seen the movie about a dozen times.. and currently i am taking a college course in immunology..
so naturally when i saw scenes from inception, the word "virus" grabbed my attention..
let me reference the 2 quotes i am talking about.. the context die hard fans will know already:
"What is the most resilient parasite?... An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold... it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere." (this one is after the flash back sequence)
"Listen there’s something you should know about inception. An idea is like a virus. Resiliant. Highly contagious. The smallest seed of an idea can grow. It can grow to define or destroy you." (this one is an exchange between Cobb and Mary when they go a level deeper)
Now what do viruses do?? they take over their host's machinery and wish to STICK and GROW..
now what is the movie inception about??
it is about STICKING an idea into a subject/host's mind.. using the subject's OWN machinery (which in this case are Fisher's own relationships/memories, which are of course manifest in his projections while in the dream)..
now what is Cobb's mission??
it is to help DISSOLVE the Fisher empire..
what do virulent viruses do? they lyse the cell.. "lysis" is when the cell bursts open releasing copies of a virus..
now if you follow me.. every character symbolizes an aspect of a virus..
Cobb=viral genome
Saito=tail fibers
other=unknown (contributions are welcome)
helpful in understanding what i am saying are these analogies
dissolving a major cooperation= lysis
idea=genome
dream=heist performed by a virus (fooling the immune system and allowing recombination/self variability)
product=offspring and immunity (both of which Cobb acquires at the end)
Now i want you all to watch the Mombosa chase scene very carefully..

keep in mind.. Cobb is the viral genome.. and the people chasing him are the body's defense mounted against the virus..
i have picture posted on my facebook that elaborates better...
