Hah. Yeah. I had a similar epiphany when we were shown the scene of Mal ready to jump off the ledge. Nolan obviously wanted to convince us that Cobb and Mal were in the real world at that moment; he also wanted us to believe that Mal really was dead. But how do we know that for certain?

Im with you. I really think that the idea he was dreaming the whole time cheapens and bastardizes the whole movie. If he was, why? to what end? What does this accomplish?

It wasnt as good as i thought it would be an...

Can anyone confirm or deny whether the scene that contains this famous still from the trailer is anywhere in the final film or not? I have no recollection of seeing it! Actually I think I can confirm it being in there. Early on (in the "first" dream sequence with Saito) when Mal is sitting on the c...
