Little moments in the background that are easy to miss?

This 2010 contemporary sci-fi actioner follows Dom Cobb and his subconscious security team around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams.

Saito gives away a little smile (or is it a smirk?) after he realizes he's just been mind-f*cked.
Of course, we later find out that he intentionally allows Cobb & his team to mess with his subconcious for an "audition."

Image
I am surprised there is very few discussion on this particular reaction shot which gives the final scene of Cobb waking up in the airplane an ambiguous note. Arthur is shaking his head: "This guy just had the trip of his life, lol!!" Ariadne is gazing: "Were it not for his silly 'pining for dead wife' thing, he could have been a fantastic lay ."

I noticed this the last time I watched the movie.
The colours of the buttons match the colour palette of the dream that the button induced :D

You might have noticed, but when Cobb fails with the Saito's extraction, he wants to get off the train. Arthur asks why? He answers: " I don't like trains." later we find out why he doesn't like trains.

Not sure if this stood out or not, but did anyone else notice what appears to be millions of sand castles that Cobb and Mal built in limbo?

In the scene with Cobb and Michael Caine, Dicaprio makes a quip about extradition from France to the US being a bureucracy nightmare. Made me laugh considingering Leo's role as Frank Abignale, who was stuck in a French prison for a long time before being handed over to the FBI in Catch Me if You Can.

We discovered this in September 2009 while they were filming. ;)
