<p>I was talking about a theory somebody made up and lots of people believed it. I liked this one I heard that he really was not dreaming at the end.</p>
<p>I don’t think the end was a dream, but someone on another obard brought up a good point: Cobb’s kids hadn’t changed; in fact, someone noted that they were wearing the same clothing. I thought the top looked wobbly anyway.</p>
<p>^It was wobbly.</p>
<p>I heard that thought, but they never said that he left years ago. The wires suicide may have just happened, which would be why he had so many strong memories of her. The clothes things was a good point, but how many clothes do little kids have anyways? I don’t think a director of nolans caliber would make such a lame ending by making it all a dream. Ihink the whole point of the top spinning was just an artistic closing shot. He spun the top outside of dreams. And I think Nolan just wanted to get people to talk about the ending. Like I said, if the ending were a dream when did that dream begin? Would saying the end was a dream mean the entire movie were a dream? I think that theory is ignoring the theme of the movie. I don’t think Nolan would undermine his entire movie for such a lame ending. What would the point of the movie be of the end were a dream? It would undermine the story about his wife not realizing she exited a dream- because that sequence was saying that there is a line between the two. And he just got done accepting he couldn’t hold on to his wife through memories, and he could only dream using a heavy sedative. At what point would the ending dream have started then? I dont think the theory has much plausibility, it’s just a means to discuss the movie.</p>

<p>I’d love an explanation of Cobb rescuing Saito. Did he just decide to go for a swim after dealing with Mal? lol.</p>
<p>Didn’t really care for it. After the movie, everyone was confused and all “*** just happend bro”. The only part that was hard to understand was the beginning, but I suspect that was intentional.</p>
<p>Might have been more interested in it if it seemed more like a dream.</p>
<p>he washed upon the shores of his subconscious, like he did the first time. saito built a world like cobb and his girl did. saito died way before cobb did, so that is why he aged so much.</p>
<p>Its ok because it was a triple layered dream. And we ourselves are in dreams. Watching a movie about dreams. =O is this real? Are you real? MINDBLOWN. Or as the drugged up kid on youtube would say “is this real life?”.</p>
<p>I think it was great i especially loved the 2 comis reliefs parts, one where the chemist guy is like “did you see that” all excited</p>
<p>and the other when Joseph Gordon-Levitt told Ellen Page to kiss him as a distraction haaa</p>
<p>An interesting theory (contains spoilers if you haven’t seen it yet, obviously):
[NEVER</a> WAKE UP: THE MEANING AND SECRET OF INCEPTION](<a href=“http://chud.com/articles/articles/24477/1/NEVER-WAKE-UP-THE-MEANING-AND-SECRET-OF-INCEPTION/Page1.html]NEVER”>http://chud.com/articles/articles/24477/1/NEVER-WAKE-UP-THE-MEANING-AND-SECRET-OF-INCEPTION/Page1.html)</p>
<p>As for the top thing, the point is that it’s up to your interpretation. The top wobbled but didn’t fall. The point of the movie is to have you rationalize it however you see fit; I’m glad I saw it alone because I wanted to formulate my own opinions on it first instead of taking someone else’s.</p>
<p>
“You never remember the beginning of the dream”</p>
<p>just saw it, **** was so cosh</p>
<p>IMO i think it was real</p>
<p>I don’t think it was a Best Picture, but I did like it. Well, most of it. A lot of the time I was wishing the story telling was a little more clear. I know that’s the point, but I hate feeling lost all the way through the movie. I thought the effects were cool and used very well- the scenes that needed big effects had them, they were produced well, and they were there for a reason. The scenes that didn’t necessarily need huge effects did just fine on their own.</p>
<p>I really liked that Ellen Page was in it, and I liked the story of him and his family. My mind just wondered too much during this movie. The thing it lacked was me walking out of the movie with the story’s ideas in my head all day. In fact I kind of forgot about seeing the movie once I got into my car, lol. But then again it did give me time to come up with story ideas of my own, which was fun.</p>
<p>Mind. Freaking. Blown.</p>
<p>I walked out of that movie thinking that I understood it, then I went online to read reviews and discovered that there are 23894203498203948203 interpretations of the ending scene. I still can’t decide what I think of it.</p>
<p>But overall, I thought it was a fantastic movie. Sorry for those of you who don’t like action movies, but I thought they were incredibly well-done. The zero-gravity fight scene was awesome.</p>
<p>(Although I agree with one thing: what kind of name is Mal?)</p>
<p>oh god Ellen Page = win, I’d marry her</p>
<p>It was a really good movie. I’m compelled to think that it was all a dream, but then again, I’m not quite sure. I still have to work out what I think of the whole limbo ordeal.</p>
<p>Also, for me, Joseph Gordon-Levitt won this movie. Hallway zero gravity? Good stuff.</p>
<p>Here’s what I ultimately agree on: It’s from IMDB by the user ManWithNoName10</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Golden.</p>
<p>Inception creeped up to one of my top five movies.</p>
<p>Saw Inception for a second time, definitely understand it now. Lol.</p>
<p>Saw it Sunday, it rose beyond my expectations (which were set super-high after the extremely strong word-of-mouth it got) and stunned me in the best ways imaginable!! I have to say that I loved the ambiguity of the ending. If the thing stopped spinning, I’d be disappointed in Nolan for making another “happy ending, and they all lived happily ever after” movie. If it didn’t, I’d actually have a solid interpretation to the movie. I’m happy he left it to the viewer.</p>
<p>@karabee, thats a great article on the ending. Enjoyed the read.</p>
<p>Here’s a random question if you guys can help me understand:
How did Fischer know the safecode when the team asked him to blurt it out in the faked kidnapping? I noticed they were trying to feed it to him throughout the dream layers (Eam’s female form giving him the number on the napkin, the hotel room numbers being the same), but how on Earth did he know the code in the first place? Subconscious memory?</p>
<p>The way I saw it was that since it was his dream, no matter what combo he picked it would have worked.</p>
<p>I guess I think this because that’s how it happens in my dreams. Somehow, if I go by instinct, I’ll always guess the pass code or some sort of secret that’s being kept from me.</p>
<p>Since the dude had said those numbers in dream layer 1, he had vague memories of it in the lower layers, so he went by instinct and was right ( Since it’s his dream )</p>
<p>It won’t get Best Picture. They never give that to popular movies.</p>
