First time I saw it, and in the interim, I was struggling with this. I was like, "so, wait? so if they fail, so what? all of this is a dream? all these fight and chase sequences are kinda pointless..its just a videogame, more or less." but upon 2nd viewing, and having discussions with fans back for...

^^^ But you hear it fall when the screen goes black so....

So it turns out that “528 491” were just random numbers sputtered out by Fischer? What was so important about obtaining the numbers in the first place? I know the attempted kick was set up in one of the two rooms, but other than that, can someone explain the “objective” for the whole hotel sequence...

I have no faith in the intelligence of professional critics anymore. This film really wasn't that hard to follow.

Mal is Ariadne. Cobb and Mal were both in limbo and she was trying to get him out. And she failed. Hence...

I agree, the choppiness was to deliberately disorientate the viewer and make it feel dream like. Cobb even makes an almost fourth wall breaking reference to it with he explains to Ad in her training that she can't remember how she got there because it is a dream (which is also a reference to the art...

Are there spoilers in it? snarky not sneaky...its just a diatribe against everyone involved in the film and...
