Stopped reading after number 1.

[spoilers="inception"]Just how real is the "real" world he inhabits ? Dicaprio appears from country to country assembling his team, Saito can do whatever he wants, agents chase Dicaprio in the real world just as the subconscious chases him in the dreams.

I really hadn't put it together that his memory of the children would include them being their current age, but in all of his other memories on the elevator - they are pretty much time capsule moments. On top of that, the kids are still doing the exact same thing, in the same spot, mirroring his memory of them.

On your question of how long he's been away, it's only like 2 years.[/spoilers]

Go into the theater execting a cerebral film that dishes heavy helpings of the human condition and you wont be disappointed. The visuals there make this heavy film that much more amazing to take in.

All I have to say is that I don

On the contrary, I think it was quite deliberate, Fischer is the spoilt, hard-nosed corporate type who undergoes an emotional re-evaluation of his life thanks to the inception.

I agree that in some ways it's a problem that he gets more emotional scenes than any of the team members, there's never anything really at stake for them, they won't die if they're shot by any of the terrible shots Fischer has defending his subconscious, they're doing it for money or curiosity or a mixture of the two. But then again, he is the inception target, his emotional turn around is a vital part of the whole concept. And that he gets a happy ending, even though what they're doing to him is wrong could be seen as either suspect or nicely morally ambiguous.

My problem with the shooting in the snow fortress was that I couldn't make out what was going on... who was shooting whom...

It was just too damn difficult to make out what's happening there..
Actually now it makes me wonder.. why did Nolan/Eames/Ariadne pick a snow fortress? what was it's significance??..

I rooted for Cobb the whole time. I chalk that up to Leo's performance and especially the scene where she jumps.

As to Fischer, I really enjoyed his transformation. I even wanted him to say something to Cobb in the airport like, "Hey, Thanks!"

Of course, that would not have been a good idea.

All I can say is that not everyone watches movies the way you do...
You are surely looking for philosophies in every movie you see..

If Nolan has made the movie the way it is, it's mainly coz he wants it to be successfull... And he has done a great job with it... Almost everyone loves the film, So Nolan wins.. I think Nolan knows a lot about filmmaking to know how make a movie work...

Ofcourse you can't compare 2 films.. Maybe you can, but most of us can't.

Can you compare Casablanca with The Octagon???
They are meant for 2 different target audiences..
I don't think the makers of The Octagon had any intention of winning oscars...

About DK, Nolan had tons of comics & previous movies to learn from...
That's what made DK stand out.. You can't mention theories and philosophies as adaptations.. ultimately the plot matters..

I don't know why everyone is rooting for film. I can't simply get it. It is so boring that i literally fell asleep in a 3D cinema while watching it. The character, the storyline and the characterization bored me to sleep.

Movie should be fun, entertaining and interesting. It should not be like a puzzle that viewer should decipher, if that would be the case i would rather buy a newspaper and try figuring out suduko and crossword puzzle.

Do you mean when elderly Saito is in limbo spinning the top, like when he's sitting across the table from Cobb in the beginning and again in the end of the movie? It does not stop spinning here, because this is a dream. When they first start talking, Saito spins it just because he remembers the top. After he and Cobb start realizing it's a dream, Cobb stares at the top and it is still spinning. This is a long time after Saito spun it, and it's perfectly upright. Thursday Next, the spinning top does not mean reality, it means just the opposite.

But something I did find strange was that in the several times I've seen the movie now, I've never heard anyone say that if the top stops spinning, you're not dreaming. When Arthur is explaining the properties of the totem to Ariadne, he says it only proves that you aren't in someone else's dream. But what about being in your own dream? So let's say Cobb's top did stop spinning in the end... this would prove that he's not in someone else's dream, but couldn't that mean he's in his own dream?



I never thought of this, that's a great point.
