In Tom’s own words. There’s no denying that Eames is intentional - he’s brilliant and dangerous and very nuanced. I could talk about Eames being a wickedly smart, well educated artist with a gambling problem all day. I could talk about him being an ex military, slightly angsty chameleon all day. Eames made Inception happen. Eames figured out what would make Inception work.
So much focus is placed on him misspelling things, “Eames is dumb ha ha” — maybe he is dyslexic. Dyslexia and intelligence are unrelated - one can be smart and dyslexic.
Look at this man and tell me he doesn’t pick up on everything. Tell me he isn’t dressed in a way that absolutely makes him seem harmless and quirky, in a way that makes sure that he controls how people see him, the narrative they come up with. He wants you to underestimate him. This is no accident.
