Hello everyone! I'm new here, but have been reading through the posts for a while. Forgive me if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I've not been able to find it.
Could that scene on the beach with Mal and the children (witnessed by Ariadne and Cobb from the elevator), have taken place in limbo? Other than that beach scene and the memory where Cobb is arguing with Mal about the fact that they are in reality, the kids are always in the same clothes (except the end of the film, of course). And I should point out that the clothes in the beach scene and that other scene where Mal and Cobb argue, are very similar.
I always assumed the beach scene was a memory of Cobb's of a particularly fond holiday or something, but Cobb does say that these are moments he regrets - memories he has to change. Why should he regret that moment? Unless he and Mal decided to project their children with them in limbo. Surely they would've yearned for their children while spending all that time down there? Is Cobb's guilt even more profound than we originally thought? Because he allowed himself to remain in limbo all that time with his projected children when his actual, real children were right there with him in reality, and then in the whole Mal/Inception fiasco, he ends up abandoning them for real?
Is this news to anyone? Or did you all assume they projected the children in limbo with them? Thoughts?
