The movie I watched and other activities

 

Last week, several significant events unfolded, and I'm feeling anxious about the outcome of one of the decisions I made during that time. I'm uncertain about what the future holds, and whether it will be positive or negative largely depends on the upcoming team meeting next week. This uncertainty has been keeping me up at night.

I returned to my hometown yesterday and arrived at my house around 11 a.m. After a long ride of more than 2 hours, I took a nap. Later, I explored my garden and found some delicious vegetables. I decided to make a bowl of ramen using these fresh vegetables. I hopped on my motorcycle, started the engine, but it didn't work. Unfortunately, there wasn't a nearby motorcycle repair shop. I had to push my motorcycle for over 2 km, I think. Furthermore, despite many people passing by, no one offered to help. So, I finally asked someone nearby for assistance because I couldn't push the motorcycle any further. Luckily, they agreed to help me. They pushed my motorcycle to the repair shop, and it only took about a minute to get it running again. They also charged my motorcycle's battery. However, based on my memory, I think I've had this battery for more than two years, so I'll probably have to replace it soon. Nevertheless, I decided to ride my motorbike to the supermarket to buy some snacks and ramen. If it doesn't work again, I'll replace the battery; if not, I will replace it when I return to Saigon. Fortunately, it's been working well so far.

I get emotional every time I return home. There's no one there now, and as the evening approaches, the sadness intensifies. I long to live in the house where I grew up, but I wonder how I can bear the sorrow that lingers there.

One special day last week was my birthday. Happy birthday to me! I received gifts from both family and friends, and I also received birthday wishes from them. While not many, it's heartwarming to know that there are people who remember my birthday.

One of the movies I watched last week was 'Inception,' directed by Christopher Nolan. It's a film about different dream levels and the concept of implanting ideas into someone's mind through dreams. I believe I'll rewatch the movie because I'm still quite uncertain about its ending. I think the ending is real, that the main character has successfully returned to reality, his plan was a success, and he is no longer a fugitive. He has let go of the past and reunited with his two children.

The information below I’ve collected on the internet.

In the movie "Inception," characters use various methods to determine whether they are in a dream or reality. These methods are crucial for the "extractors" who navigate the dream world. Here are a few of the key indicators:

Totem: Each character has a personal totem, a small object with a unique property that behaves differently in a dream compared to reality. They use the totem to confirm whether they are in a dream. For example, Cobb (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) uses a spinning top as his totem. In a dream, the top spins indefinitely, but in reality, it eventually falls.

Time Dilation: Dreams in the movie can have a different sense of time. Characters might realize that events happen too quickly or too slowly compared to reality.

Memory and Reality Checks: Sometimes, characters question their own memories or the consistency of the world around them to determine whether they are in a dream.

Distortion and Impossible Physics: Dreams can feature distorted physics and impossible structures. Characters may notice such anomalies and use them as clues.

The Kicks: In the film, characters use physical sensations, such as falling or sudden changes in gravity, to determine whether they are in a dream. If they need to wake up from a dream, they create a "kick" in the dream that mirrors a physical sensation in reality, causing them to wake up.
