Have you been 'Incepted'? Part II

Continuation from yesterday's blog...


So yeah, it happens all the time. It happens when you are listening to music, when you are watching your favorite show on TV and it happens when you are watching a movie... especially movies.


Let me explain it better. Has it ever happened to you that you go to the movie theatre and for some reason you don't feel like eating or drinking anything during the movie? You just want to buy your ticket, watch the movie and entertain yourself, but you DON’T WANT any popcorn or drink. 


And so you go to the screen showing your movie, sit there and wait for the movie to start. It’s time for the ads and so a clip begins, it’s full of beautiful people such as yourself, having fun with friends. It’s a hot day. They are thirsty… Now, guess what they have in their hands? A bottle of coke… and then ever so slowly one of them take the bottle to his lips, you begin to see everything in slow motion, or is it really in slow motion? Anyway... very slowly he starts drinking that cold, delicious, perfect drink...

All of a sudden you start regretting not buying something to drink before the movie, you start feeling thirsty, you can even taste the coca-cola in your mouth, for crying out loud!

What is that???


That my dear friend, is planting an idea in your head that wasn’t there before, that’s ‘inception’ happening in real life!

Sounds dumb, doesn’t it?

Well, in my next posts I’ll be talking about three different movies that could do exactly that to you.


Stay tuned and you might realize that what I’m saying is not so dumb after all…

Have you been ‘Incepted’?



Have you watched that movie Inception with Leonardo DiCaprio? You should! It’s an excellent movie, very clever, the kind that makes you have your eyes glued to the screen from beginning to end. You really have to pay attention in order to understand it though. I just loved watching this movie!

So, if you understood the movie (lol) you will know that it centers around one thing: To plant an idea in someone’s mind and make him think that it was his idea all along. He will never even suspect that before the ‘inception’ happened he never gave that idea a second thought, all he knows is that he woke up one day with that idea in mind.

What if I told you that this happens all the time? It’s true! 

Come back here tomorrow so I can tell you more...
