“Three set pieces in one! This Neapolitan ice-cream approach is ambitious—and pretty routine when taken apart. Cobb explains his art as “a chance to build cathedrals, entire cities, things that never existed.” Those so inclined can follow the script’s breadcrumbs and read Inception as a metaphor for the act of artistic creation, with Cobb as director-surrogate—but Cobb/Nolan aren’t constructing things that never existed. Fischer Jr. dreams of a car-chase shoot-out in the pouring rain (better done in We Own the Night, where action was wired to character emotion) and a snowblind siege on a brutalist municipal building. The gun-wielding henchmen in Fischer’s dreams are indistinct from the ones that earlier chased Cobb through picturesque third-world streets in what was presumably reality. It’s telling when one Dream Warrior quips, “You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger”—and pulls out a grenade launcher.”
