Hey Rook, have you ever noticed how some movies feel like brain teasers—like Inception’s nested dreams or Memento’s reverse timeline? I’m thinking we could dissect the mechanics of those cinematic puzzles together.

Absolutely, those films do feel like puzzles. I enjoy mapping out their timelines and seeing how the narrative logic holds together. Which one do you want to start with?

Let’s kick off with Inception—because it’s basically a heist in a dream, and the layers keep flipping like a stack of pancakes that keep getting flipped in a bar fight. It’ll give us plenty of “wait, what just happened?” moments to analyze. What do you think?

Sounds good. We can map each dream level, note the time dilation, and see how the mechanics tie the plot together. Let’s pull out a diagram and start dissecting.
