inception

[khana]

so, months after everyone else ever, i finally watched inception last night.
and i don't get it.
i mean, i get the plot, and the ending, and how it's probably all some kind of dream and how there are dozes of different interpretations.
i just don't get the big fandom thing.
just from the three or four lines of banter between arthur and eames and their otherwise pretty much nonexistent characterization (noone but coob was really characterized, for that matter), fandom got to a place where there's pretty much only that ship?
I'm confused.
does anyone have a rec or two to convince me otherwise?

I don't ship Arthur and Eames (or any other Inception - peirings, like Arthur/Ariadne) but I do understand who it is so appealing to ship characters which weren't characterized a lot. It means the writer has plenty of freedom. That's not a bad thing IMO. At least it never gets boring because you're too restricted...

Ich wünschte ich könnte auf dem Laptop tippen, ohne hunderte von Fehlern einzubauen. XD

i get that it's appealing, i just don't quite get the "explosion".
