Nolan Fans

Ariadne was utilized quite brilliantly by Nolan as a common cinematic character- us. Had she and her lack of knowledge (and desire to seek it) been absent, we would have very much been lost throughout the film. So would have Cobb, who more or less gains the courage to move on from Mal's death through Ariadne.

Page's character was definitely not worthless, for those two reasons:

1) She helps us understand the procedure of inception/extraction by asking questions we have ourselves, and
2) She influences Cobb to move on and forget Mal- had he not, they would have been all stuck in limbo.

Eh, some lame excuses right there.

1) We don't need such a lame character(device...) basically dumbing everything down for the audience, only there to serve that purpose, and not really have much else to offer. She isn't developed herself, and has no real character, or depth.

2) This is how Nolan justifies her existence, but I argue that she really wasn't needed at all. Once again she's designed to be there to serve as a counter for justifying exposition, and an anchor for Cobb's emotional struggle. I'd rather that she wasn't in the film, because all her character does is serve as the audience. Cobb could figure that shit on his own, while we can see his struggle, rather than have it explained to us through Ariadne.

Like I said, you're a noob, you know nothing of this forum, and you're acting like you do.

Unless you're Fernando.

So, go away. Thanks.
