I disagree a lot. It symbolizes rebirth, not death. Seriously why do you keep arguing this?! And in Star Wars, its 100% rebirth. On Dagobah, Luke gets reborn into a real Jedi-Knight and he finally faces the truth. You should read Joseph Campbell. Luke is not "reborn" on Dagobah and does not "become...

I'm curious if this trevelyan is really just trolling or not. He criticized me for being uneducated and ignorant of film symbolsim and implied I have an inability to detect recurring symbols, etc, and assumed I have a subjective religious perspective that isn't relevant to his. You entered this deb...

He became defined instantly by the Inception many layers below. It sure as hell did not destroy Robert. tykjen - I agree Fischer is transformed. I suspect we also both agree that the script is deliberately ambiguous about whether this is the result of inception, since Nolan takes pains to point out...

Really? Because I provided that fact early on in page 5 before master,tykjen, and Vader ever got involved. Crazy Eight -- I didn't mean to slight you if you made this point and will give credit where due. I have difficulty dealing with your posts because you mix up what I consider to be senseless t...

The will means that Dad wanted me to be my own man. And not just to live for him. And that is what I'm gonna do, Uncle Peter. Thank you for referencing the actual script. And perhaps I'm obtuse, but... where is the evidence Fischer has been harmed? There is no mention of his plan for the company ei...

ha ha ha.

Vader hit the nail on the head. It's also pretty hypocritical of you to insult Vader explaining that he's not just another idiotic internet poster I have no qualms with Vader as a person, I just don't see why his religious beliefs make him an authority on film analysis (nor why you would think so h...

Ha ha... considering we've never discussed my beliefs, I find it amusing tykgen has leapt to the conclusion I'm Christian. Or that Vader182 thinks his own Catholicism makes him an authority on religious symbolism in film, a double irony considering the Star Wars films from which he takes his handle ...

I didn't notice any Buddhist imagery or symbolism in the film. There's certainly nothing Buddhist about the parable of the wise and foolish builder, the depiction of limbo as a world built from sand and destroyed by water, the constant emphasis on Cobb's journey as a "leap of faith", the symbolic pu...

I have no desire to engage in a theological debate with you, mostly because you don't seem to understand the points being discussed and aren't responding to them articulately. If you really think you've found a fundamental contradiction in Christianity go find a priest and confront him with your par...
