Yeah, well that's the limit of Nolan's imagination.

Bunuel did that in the 20s with a fraction of the money. Imagination is an unthinkable superpower to you Nolanbros, isn't it?

the sterile/vague yet tidy look of the van dream and the hotel dream captured the essence of a regular dream
many people doing nothing at all yet looking busy
it made us feel like the setting was completely detached from the world

>dreams feel real while we dream

Is a literal quote from the movie. And it's true, if you say that your dreams look like surrealist art you are lying

I mean one of the main themes is the main character not being able to distinguish dreams from reality.

The point is that our dreams frequently DO look surreal but they seem completely normal to us when we're experiencing them - only on waking do we notice the odd details. You don't dream because you're the kind of person who thinks multiplex movies are art. You were born to be cattle. Inception is on your level, enjoy peonage.

But we do not watch the movie from the character's perspective, do we?
Dreams are more often than not vague and absurd, but we only realize it when we wake up.

>A silent film that is 15 minutes long and is only good if you're watching it while stoned and watching it with your pretentious art school friends.
Why are you comparing a throwaway expiremental film to a modern day blockbuster?

were you really expecting a heist thriller to look like a Lynch joint?

Dreams usually take place in familiar or real-looking locations, it's just that nothing makes any sense. This is a problem for a movie that's trying to tell a coherent story.
