“…take a leap of faith" — Meaning?
I'm well aware that there are plot holes with the totems and how they behave. But if you're suggesting that Dom is in a dream in that apartment scene, then it means he is in a dream the entire time, so what would be the purpose of the movie? Nothing happens? There's no reason for the viewer to have...

Angier and Root were twins!
Yes tykjen, that quote sums it up nicely. I also find it interesting that the obvious twins in the film, Borden and Fallon, were played by two different actors, while Angier and Root were both played by the same actor. P.S. Don't let the trolls here mislead you into bad behavior. Do you really want ...

If Angier used a double once...
Some people still can't grasp the notion of the unreliable narrator. The Tesla coil machine shoots sparks, and that's about it, just like the real one, which is why they used a real historical person like Tesla, so that we could easily conclude that Angier's claim that the machine actually cloned/te...

Actually "This way" is a gem of a line. The many meanings seem to spread out, like a tree's branches. That's da life in Inception

Huh...Nolan made a movie about religion...
In Scorcese's The Last Temptation of Christ which is intended as a work of fiction, Satan appears as a beautiful teenage girl, a teen angel (now that's temptation, OY!) and begs Jesus to step down off of the cross, (come back to reality) and tells him that his mission from God is accomplished, that ...

Huh...Nolan made a movie about religion...
I see Dom's story as the eternal struggle faced by all people. The struggle between good and evil, that is, the conflicting sides of human nature, selflessness vs. selfishness. Nolan uses the christian motifs to echo The Last Temptation of Christ , which presented Jesus the man, facing his own human...

Couple of questions
That's some magical sedative. Dying in a dream won't shake it off, but some magical "kick" will. You trolls go to great and ridiculous lengths to re-enforce your delusions. The entire film is a dream, but you don't want to know that, you want to be fooled.

Angier and Root were twins!
Let the ignorant trolls rant all they want. This is the truth. Root was Angier's twin brother. Root also changed his identity to save his noble family the shame of a son on the stage. Root wore makeup when he was "discovered" in the very place that Angier's people began their search. Now you know th...

Heath Ledger/Inception connection
Have you had much experience on a film set? Here's a little anecdote from Back to the Future: Michael J. Fox was so exhausted from shooting Family Ties and B to the F simultaneously that he "freaked out" on the Family Ties set because he couldn't find his video camera. He finally remembered that the...
