The movie Inception, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Berenger, Ken Watanabe, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Leavitt and a bunch of other people, has definitely been the blockbuster hit of the summer of 2010. As of this date, it's already made more than $155 million at the box office, which isn't exactly The Dark Knight money. Then again, none of the major cast members died before it came out so it's tough to make a one-to-one comparison.
In talking to people afterwards, an interesting phenomenon has come to the surface. Males exiting the movie or talking about it with their friends afterward find it to be awesome, and can discuss the action and various layers in great detail. Women, however, exit the theater with puzzled looks on their faces, stating to anyone who will listen "I couldn't figure out what was going on." This phenomenon can lead to only one conclusion: men are smarter than women.
This is something scientistists have always suspected but never been able to prove. While they had all sorts of evidence and theories, normally their wives would threaten to withhold sex if they released it to the public so they'd back off. Understandable, because that's the way women are. But now, with the release of Inception, women are not only acknowledging their lower intelligence, they're broadcasting it. Again, this is something women can't help doing. Whatever is on their minds, they have to share it with anyone who will listen.
This conclusion is based on a scientifically valid sampling of a few women I know who have seen the movie. They all said the same thing -- I didn't know what was going on -- so there's a high probability that this is a universal phenomenon. Sure, there will be a few women who state they were able to follow the movie easily, but they are either well beyond the norm in intelligence for women, liars or bitter bull dykes who ride Harleys and wear work boots to formal events.
So there you have it. The evidence is in. Thank you Christopher Nolan, not only for giving us a really awesome movie but for providing the evidence we needed to answer this age-old question. Now back in the kitchen, sweetie, and make me a sandwich.
