With the amazing movie Inception recently out on DVD and Blu-ray, we here at VisualNews have had those wild plot twists and turns flashing through our heads all over again. To satisfy our daydreams, we turned to a book about the movie that’s been out for a few months now: Inception, The Shooting Script. Choice bits inside are a 10 page interview with director Christopher Nolan and most satisfying of all, a hand drawn flowchart depicting the entire concept of the film.

The weak point in Inception is that L’s character tries to unsuccessfully convince his partner to commit suicide with him so they can return to the conscious world. He takes so long to do this that he actually enables his partner in convincing herself she is in the conscious world. He should have just killed her, then himself at the beginning of the dilemma, then there would not have been any problem.
