ok so I just got back from my third viewing of the film and what Mal says at the very end about Cobb being in a dream and being chased by global companies is someones subconcious realising a dreamer was quite confusing as it hints that Cobb's so called reality is only a dream...your thoughts? I am ...

What I find funny, is that the film was design to keep to viewers mind open to the varying possibilities. Then why would someone know this, yet reject any opinion except theirs? For the record: The only strong argument put forward is the fact that if my theory is right, then Fischer could not have w...

I said it like a million times. Nolan didn't offered a 100% true ending because he wanted the audience to feel Cobb's uncertainty. There's no real arguments in favor of none of the possibilities. :roll: :roll: :roll: While I somewhat agree with you. You have to argue based on what you see. Not what...

This movie has no 100% real or true ending because Nolan didn't offered one. He offered clues and a lot of details but for what? For the audience to feel trapped like Cobb did. The audience became Cobb and that was Nolan's intention. There's NO PERSON who could say THIS IS THE REAL ENDING because t...

Sadly I have to disagree. Without being long winded.... The top was spinning at the end of the movie, it simply means either COBB was dreaming all alone or the end of the movie was Satio's dream. This was Saito honoring his promise. Yet there were both trapped in Limbo. The end of the movie was not ...

Tsk Tsk..... I guess because I am noob to the forum i have no idea what I am talking about right? 1. Mals Totem was still spinning at the end of the movie. (Unless I imagined that too). So that was not reality. If it isn't then all along "reality" never could have been real. 2. JMSBolic - You are wr...

Your premise of the other characters performing Inception on Cobb seems to hinge on this... The dreamer has to accept the he is asleep and dreaming in order to wake up. If he is killed and doesn't know that he is sleeping then back to limbo you go. Since if that weren't true, all they would have to...

His totem are his children. When he doesn't see their faces he is in a dream. When he does, he is in reality. COBB could have seen the Kid's face in Limbo in the latter part of the movie. Mal said this it to him and she called the kids to him so that he could see their faces. COBB turned his head a...

1. Level 1 did not correctly influence kicks. There has been discussion on these boards about a push kick and a pull kick. My impression is that any kick is indeed one of these two things: a pull from the level above that creates a kick, or a push from the current dream level. In case of the former...

Firstly, the entire movie was a dream. Cobb’s dream. All along the ‘inception’ was being done to COBB by the other characters in the movie. We first get hint of this when the idea (not in its basic form) was given to COBB by his wife’s father: “Come back to reality Cobb”. This you may see in the sc...
