Goodbye, folks!

Dream Within A Dream Hans Zimmer Inception (2010)

Subtlety has never been Hans Zimmer’s strongest suit. Especially in his recent compositions for Hollywood blockbusters, he’s been one to favor convoluted confluences of musical onomatopoeias over consistently gentle sequences of sounds. Many are averse to Zimmer’s persistent methodical assaults to their auditory canals and, by extension, to their amygdalae (you know, those groups of nerves responsible for emotional reactions, presumably including the ones you feel while watching a film with wall-to-wall music). But this predilection for systematic amplification played to his score’s advantage in Guy Ritchie’s jocular Sherlock Holmes, where strings and percussions banter vigorously amid wild goose chases and bromantic misadventures, and, to a more palpable but altogether humorless extent, in Christopher Nolan’s self-serious Inception, where, as exemplified by Dream Within A Dream, sound waves crash on sound waves crash on sound waves crash on sound waves, some bearing the faintest hints of softness but most others reaching decibels so high that Edith Piaf might have been roused from her grave as though only from a dream. BRRRAAAWWWRWRRRMRMRMMRMRMMM!!!

SWAY THOSE HIPS AT HIM GURL.

Going to find another place, maybe one I can stand. I move on to another day, to a whole new town, with a whole new way.

Cobb : Sweetheart, what are you doing ? Mal : Join me. Cobb : Just step back inside, alright ? Just step back inside now, come on. Mal : No. I’m going to jump, and you’re coming with me. Cobb : No, I’m not. You listen to me: if you jump, you’re not gonna wake up, remember ? You’re going to die. Now, just step back inside so we can talk about this. Mal : We’ve talked enough. Come out onto the ledge, or I’ll jump right now. Cobb : Okay. We’re gonna talk about this, alright ? Mal : I’m asking you to take a leap of faith with me. Cobb : No, honey. I can’t. You know I can’t do that. Take a second and think about our children. Think about James. Think about Philipa. Mal : If I go without you, they’ll take them away, anyway. Cobb : What does that mean ? Mal : I filed a letter with our attorney explaining how I’m fearful for my safety, how you’ve threatened to kill me. Cobb : Why would you do that ? Why would you do this to me ? Mal : I love you, Dom. I’ve freed you from the guilt of choosing to leave them. We’re going home — to our real children. Cobb : No, no, no. Mal, you listen to me, alright ? Mal, look at me. Please ! Mal : You’re waiting for a train. Cobb : Mal, goddamn it! Don’t do this ! Mal : A train that will take you far away. Cobb : James and Phillipa are waiting for you ! Mal : You know where you hope this train will take you. Cobb : They’re waiting for us ! Mal : But you can’t be sure. Cobb : Mal, look at me ! Mal : But it doesn’t matter — because you’ll be together. Cobb : Sweetheart, look at me ! (She jumps.) Cobb : Mal, no ! Jesus Christ !

“I guess I thought the dream-space would be all about the visual, but it’s more about the feeling. My question is what happens when you start messing with the physics of it.”
