Imho did Shutter Island even a better job at capturing what an actual dream feels like:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0eG0O9qNB4shutter island and inception is basically the same character, except its like way better written in shutter island and leon owns. dem flashbacks.
nothing makes chronologically sense, scenarios fluently change, people appear and disappear. I know that Inception just tries a different take on dreams but I like the one in Shutter Island just a lot more.
