User blog comment:HELO/Indoctrination or Not, It's Problematic/@comment-4746180-20120403220112

I totally agree with you. However, I find the Indoctrination theory, as it is presented, revolting (as well as absurd, illogical and so on). As I said before on BSN : not only it has been used to death, but it is a lazy-writer wild card to show in case of absence of inspiration. The only story where the hallucination / dream / indoctrination / callitwhatyouwant explaination was not a lazy-ass wild card showed 1 minute before end roll is in Fight Club, because, as you told it before, the movie does not end when the hallucination is revealed. Now let's do the reverse : let's imagine what would happen if some stories where based on hallucination / dream / indoctrination / callitwhatyouwant : the Matrix is inside a Matrix, the first Alien movie is only a nightmare made by Ripley while in cryo-sleep, the Terminator (in the first movie) is an hallucination made by Sarah Connor. The only word coming to my mind is revolting. I do not say that indoctrination theory is revolting. What's revolting is that : "Haha, you are indoctrinated !". End credits. In other words : WTF ?
