The University of West Georgia and Weekends at West Georgia presented “Inception” in the Campus Center Ballroom, on Saturday, Nov. 6 at 5 p.m.

The movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Ellen Page. It begins with Dom Cobb, a thief, who steals valuable secrets within the subconscious during the dream stage, when the mind is most vulnerable. He can intrude on people’s dreams, so corporations hire him to steal business secrets. Cobb is offered a chance to take on a mission that could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish inception. Cobb and his team’s job is to plant an idea, not steal one. A Japanese energy magnate Mr. Saito wants Cobb to enter the mind of Robert Fischer, who is about to inherit his father’s massive business empire. The goal is to break-up his father’s conglomerate and sell it off.  Saito will in exchange fix problems with the U.S. government so Cobb can return to his children. Three layers of dreams are planned and the job requires that the team take a powerful sedative. However, if something goes wrong the dreamers may not awake. While on the job, Cobb has to deal with his own emotions and feelings of guilt, which are projecting themselves into the dream space. Lastly, Cobb has to answer the question of what is reality and what is only a dream.

People lined up at the doors and swiped their ID cards for free pizza, drinks and T-shirts. The room filled up quickly and the movie really caught the viewer’s interest. Students chattered excitedly about the event and enjoyed watching the movie. The pizza disappeared quickly and the T-shirts were gone in minutes.

“We had originally wanted to show this movie because there was so much interest in it,” said Melissa Hewitt, who is in charge of the Weekends of West Georgia. “We ended up having around 135 people show up.”

There was an amazing turnout and students were curious about the different events and dreams that took place during the film. Some students were amazed while others were confused about what was going on. Some students had never seen the movie, whereas others critiqued how weird and different the film was. At the end of the film many students were disappointed in how the ending was done but were surprised and liked it anyway.

“It was interesting because it makes you wonder if he was dreaming in the end,” said junior Erica Lamothe.

This event had a big impact on students and it will cause many more successful Weekends at West Georgia.
