okay, so call i might turn out to be a one post whore, or maybe not. But anyways I scoured the forum search trying to find the answers to a couple questions, had no luck...
so experts please help me...
We see Cobb last (with a stab wound) with a dying Mal in a skyscraper that is falling apart. Assuming he dies shortly after the building falls, how is it that he doesn't awake from Limbo assuming he died in the building? And if we presume he DIDNT die in the building with Mal, how would awake on the "shores of consciousness" again in Limbo after never leaving it, and already having arrived with Ariadne in the exact same fashion.
Since waking up on the shore is a sign you just entered Limbo (does it with Mal as well), that means Cobb needed to have left it already...But he didn't...WTF?
Or does he just magically re appear in limbo (without a stab wound) conveniently with no explanation?...
and finally...
How does Ariadne and Cobb even realize they are in limbo? Limbo is the beast that it is only because they say its nearly impossible to differentiate reality from the dream state...so how is it that BOTH of them are so completely aware that they are in Limbo? I dont buy "Cobb has already been there/Cobb possesses an ability that nobody else has and can just tell"...
It is VERY interesting to note the differences in behavior when Cobb is in Limbo with Ariadne, versus with Saito. With Ariadne, hes there mentally and aware hes in limbo. Then BAM!!! Hes mush, beaten up, and lost when hes in Limbo with Saito...
HOW DOES THAT WORK?...
Im beginning to think that there were 6 levels of dreaming...
