In the article
“Desiring-Machines in American Cinema“ the author Jan Alan Paul focuses on the
film Inception in order to explain the theme change in 21st-century
films. The audience is not only interested in movies dealing with the question
of reality and its possible manipulation, but also personally affected by these
topics.
In the author’s opinion, people are fascinated
by the content of films like Inception because they question reality and
induce the audience to think in new dimensions and broaden their horizons. This
is an interesting idea which can be transferred to other kinds of new media as
well. Video games can foster this theme too and might affect the user on an
even more personal level. If a person becomes a character like in Inception,
he/she will experience a new reality.
