My take was that he was back inside a dream. What a great piece of a story-a top that doesn't stop spinning.

I guess that makes a pretty good movie, doesn't it?Brenda S.

There are times I need something to challenge my mind and there are times my brain is overloaded and I just want escape. I have to say escape with a challenging thought is the best surprise of all. I watched Inception earlier this year and I have to say I think about it from time to time. The idea of invading another persons dreams became a very intriguing idea to me.Dawn Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073540046415043743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833943568870526407.post-47618578946341492042011-08-09T09:33:44.507-05:002011-08-09T09:33:44.507-05:00Nicole, it's so true that many of the critical...Nicole, it's so true that many of the critically acclaimed movies push an agenda ... and they say Christian fiction is preachy.<br /><br />Our family did watch The Kings Speech the other night.

I would like to go to the movies to be challenged, but very few do that without an agenda anymore and since their agenda is not in sync with mine: I'm not going to waste money on them. I would love to watch a thoughtful piece on the big screen most of all, but instead I'll enjoy Captain Jack and get to laugh. I'll drift away to Venice and the hint of romance in The Tourist. <br /><br />When I read, it's a rare time when I want easy or light. I want provocative in words and thoughts. I want beauty and ugliness in real form. I want . . . life in the pages.Nicolehttp://hopeofglory.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
