QUOTE(serotonin @ Aug 8 2010, 10:05 PM)  It was reality. I don't see how so many people are confused by this. There were five levels of dreaming. There were rules as to why everything happened. The very end was not in fact a dream, it was wobbling at the end. In the dream it maintained a perfect spin once it got going, never wobbling at all. Maybe Grandma was cooking a pie? In the dream she was always there to call them away, this was atypical from that. yeahhh thats what I said in a shorter version I'm glad I'm not the only one ^^ |

Well a lot of people say the top wasn't effective because both mol and the Asian dude touched it (I personally don't think it matters since mol was dead and the Asian dude was dreaming when he touched it) and the grandma thing is just pointless to bring up. I am with you. He was awake. Either way: |

But then QUOTE(gojira @ Jul 31 2010, 12:23 PM) i swear after hearing every pov, it started to obscure my original interpretation. they feed you their take, then the plot holes that supposedly supports their ending. And now I'm like idk bro |

I saw the movie a few weeks ago. I love it. It's such a good movie.
I personally believe that the end was not a dream, although I've heard convincing evidence that it was. You guys have listed almost all of the evidence, one other detail somebody pointed out to me was that at the end what Cobbs left the airport, all the people turned and stared at him as if he was an outside force in somebody else's dream. I'd rather them not make a sequel, but if one is made it could be the team (minus Cobbs) having to traverse the limbo landscape and get Cobbs out. Or maybe if the ending was real, Cobbs gets called in for another job. And knowing Hollywood it would probably have to leave room for a third one... but whatever. DiCaprio doesn't do sequels anyway. When somebody asked him if there would be a sequel, he said the ending is really something that shouldn't be touched upon again, that it should be left alone, that he was invested in that ending. I can't imagine him wanting to do another one, unless the script is really, really good. |

They don't stare at outside forces, only if he changes things. He wasn't changing things. |

Wasn't it just the Fische and the members of Cobb's team that were staring at him?

then share your own unique idea, mooching off someone else's opinion doesn't make you smarter

I said someone pointed it out to me. Just because I mention something that might contribute to the discussion of this thread doesn't mean I'm trying to appear smart. Actually I want to ask the thread something; the movie didn't explain where Cobbs originally got the dreaming device, right? Was it explained in the prequel comic? I mean the device isn't available to the public. It wasn't explained. Does anybody have an answer? |

Forgetting so many details to the movie though. |

Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it. You can't expect Nolan to answer every little thing. I mean, if you're going to ask about the device, why not also ask where Arthur or Eames got their totems? Or how everyone go into the profession? Or any other detail that's not particularly important to the storyline? |

i saw this. i liked it. the end didn't bother me. the shit wobbled, they said over and over that physics didn't matter in a dream, so why would it wobble in a dream? never did before. i'm fine with it.

I just thought it was weird- clearly the device wasn't available to the general public, but I guess it's not really important. |

JGL apparently has a brother who is a fire spinner... who goes by Burning Dan.
 And he even has a tumblr. Interview with him here. QUOTE I take it you've seen 'Inception.'
Yes. Care to sum it up? 'Inception' felt like the smartest movie since 'The Matrix,' and 'The Matrix' is really important to me. I can see little kids growing up really thinking about their dreams and what their reality is -- because they grew up playing 'Inception.' I find it unbelievably inspiring that they made such a huge movie that is truly and artistically relevant. It was so smart, it really made you think. I love the idea that this will help other movies take more risks and challenge people more and not be so formulaic. Just awesome. |
