ESSAY WINNER

The way the film expresses the statement “What is the most resilient parasite? An Idea."Because it shows that once an idea is fully grasped there is nothing that can be done. We can see this in the film when Cobb is willing to make a deal in order to go back to the U.S. in order to see his children. The idea of him being able to see his children is causing him to be willing to risk his fellow member lives. We also see the statement expressed in the Mal, when Cobb’s preformed inception on her. The idea that "death was the only escape" was what showed Cobb’s statement. No matter how Cobb tried, the idea he had implanted into Mal's head had cause her to believe the idea so much that she took it to an extreme level. We also see this with Saito, where he is willing to g as far as inception in order to gain corporate control.

If I had the choice to insert an idea to the dreamscape society, I would choose not to insert the idea into the dreamscape society. It’s shown in the film, a simple idea can transform into a greater complex idea. And there is no control over the idea. It can transform into something that can have a negative effect and outcome. It can change who a person is.
