Watched INCEPTION last night, its a great movie. =)
A Totem is an object that exists in the real world in order to ground oneself not only in reality, but also in the dream world. A Totem has a specially modified weight, balance, or feel in the real world but in a dream of someone who does not know it well, the characteristics of the totem will very likely be off. In order to protect its integrity, only the totem's owner should ever handle it. That way, the owner is able to tell if he is in his own dream, or someone else's. In the owner's own dream world, the totem will feel correct. Any ordinary object which has been in some way modified to affect its balance, weight, or feel will work as a totem.
Totems in Inception
~ Dom Cobb's totem is a spinning top. Originally belonging to Mal, his wife, the top has the special property that it will spin forever while Dom is in a dream.
~ Ariadne's totem is a slightly-hollowed out golden chess piece.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but I am hearing it is an awesome movie. I am looking forward to seeing it soon. This is a great photo by the way. Love the colors and the lighting, along with the shadows.
Cool totem!.... The movie is truely brilliant,and what I like the most is Eames (The Forger) ,and Arthur`s zero-g fight scene.Arthur`s calculated,serious look and the suit he wears are the best thing in the movie haha!
