You all realize that Nolan’s probably laughing at all the posts and theories yall are conjuring up.
And? He is also probably happy we are having fun with it!
the whole 2-mirror infinite reflection scene is the key to it all
Pls elaborate.
For us to be able to figure out what is going on would make it not worth while. What is the obvious, but yet no one is thinking about it? Consider all of the clues which are being provided throughout the movie. With that said, Cobb is in someone else’s dream but we are not informed of who. Consider that everyone in the movie is a dream come true for Cobb. The talented girl to support, the best friend, the highly skilled thief commando, the rich man who can do anything, the cute kids who are able to call their father at an unknown location while he is yet a fugitive, the wise and devoted father.. Everyone around him is too perfect. The entire movie is a dream. He was told not to go beyond two layers, but yet as they run into trouble on each layer they must go deeper to save themselves. The twist will be revealed in one of the many sequels to come. They just better not take themselves into so many layers while making the movie and create a corny finale.
This movie shud NOT have a sequel, that wud the ethereal feeling of the whole film.
This movie should NOT have a sequel, it is titely wrapped and a sequel the overall ethereal feeling of the film; also kudos for no F bombs in the movie
If he was still dreaming at the end, then he never woke up after first meeting Yusuf and having Yusuf put him under to test the power of the sedatives. We never see him wake up, he’s just in a bathroom washing his face and when he tries to spin the top he drops it because Saito enters the room.
Nolan just wants us to spend another $ of our hard-earned bucks to check and see if the kids are wearing the same clothes.
If they are, then the clear answer is that the whole movie was a dream.
If not, the top fell.
Since Nolan aligned himself with stars that slandered the US and Bush on their junket, I assume he is of the same mind. The mission to make sure a major corporation is dissembled so as not to DOMINATE the market blahbaty blah blah, that pretty much sinks the guy’s a flaming lib.
And like the hypocrites libs-with-money-and-power can be, he wants to make sure the gets all the dough he can while us comrades eat cake.
Hence the crappy ending to an overblown movie.
I read an article where one of the actors said to use your ears and not your eyes in regards to the final scene. Did anyone notice that when he talked to his kids on the phone they sounded much older than they did when they embraced him at the end? Otherwise I’d say reality 100%
How are his kids able to locate him?
YES! I totally thought they sounded older. And then I just thought maybe my mind was just playing tricks on me.
Nolan is expressing the power of film and storytelling and its ability to inspire. The spinning totem at the end was not for Cobb it was for us, the audience. As the dreamers, we choose the ‘inception’ for ourselves.
He is in his limbo, creating an ending that couldn’t possibly be happier for himself.
Ugh, I was holding my breath, waiting for that top to stop spinning. The minute the screen went black, I turned to my boyfriend and said, “No! It was wobbling! I swear, I saw it wobble!” lol I actually really liked the ambiguity, though. What a fantastic movie.
I believe you must all use your ears after the screen turns black, you hear a thud and obviously leo is awake. You just couldn’t hear it cause everyone groans after the movie ends, but its there.
I believe that Leo (Cobb) is the person that the inception is being done on and not Cillian (Robert). It seemed to me that for inception to work you had to unlock a persons most deepest emotion. In which this case it would be Cobb being with his children. The inception was a success once Cobb reached his Kids. Think about it, Robert (Cillian Murphy) unlocked the safe and inside was the windmill from his childhood and the picture of him as a kid. Seeming to be his most treasured moment with his father. We get to that same emotion with Cobb when he get’s to his children. I think there is a bigger story here and I pray there is a sequel.
You’re imagining things. I remember the end of the last shot clearly: the top had slowed down and had received the “death kick” from knocking against the table from all the wobbling.
I had expected the end scene to be that he reaches into his pocket only to find the totem missing.
Or I expected some twist because he broke the cardinal rule for totems: someone else handled it (when he washed up at the beach).
When Cobb spins his top in the dream world, it never wobbles, it stays perfectly straight and spinning, the wobble means that they are in the real world.
Had to be awake. Think about it, if Mal was right and they were still dreaming, and she woke up by jumping off that ledge… then wouldn’t she have found Cobb’s sleeping body and just woke him up? What could possibly have kept her from doing that?
The idea is that he is in limbo, not that what we thought of as reality was a dream. Mal was wrong, it just is the idea of weather he ever made it out of limbo.
It can be seen either way – the thing did cease to wobble so fast (and in dreams it would keep the same pace), but is that because he wants to think that he is in reality? Or is he really there? I seriously doubt a sequel. It would be too hard too continue. The question becomes – does it matter as long as he is happy? It really doesn’t matter, to us anyway.
