Christopher Nolan's Inception

[buhbuh gracie]

Here's a thought:

Spoiler! 

If totems are not to be handled by other people (so that only the owner knows the real feel, weight, behavior of the totem, to serve as a guide to know the difference between a dream and reality) , then why was Saito allowed to hold Mal's/Cobb's totem in the beginning and the end of the movie, in limbo? What does this signify?

you could check this thread,Nolan Fans | Forums | View topic - Mal's Totem vs. Dom's Totem but I know deep inside, that something is very wrong with Saito. at the train cabin scene where they left him with that asian boy, when he smirked knowingly, it tells you that there is something more to him.

Spoiler! 

I think it was still a dream. isn't the scene of his children playing outside the house a part of his memory? how come it was exactly the same at the end?

can somebody tell me what the father said to his son near the end? something about being disappointed but not at him..

Saito's smirk in the train is already a known plot device--it signifies that Saito arranged the first scene in the movie as an "audition" for Dom and Arthur.

it was something like, he was disappointed with his son because he tried to be like him. that was the idea they wanted to plant on fischer jr.'s mind. so in effect, fischer(murphy) would think that his father do not want him to be just like him(the father), that his father wanted him to make his own name and to manifest that is to disband his father's company which he inherited.

Christopher Nolan. This guy's a genius.
Superb casting.
Not to mention one of the best fight scenes I've seen for quite some time na... Anti-gravity hallway.... Damn.

1. Cobb explained that in a person's dreams, it is his/her ideals that are prevalent. Think along the line na Dreams = Perfect/Ideal World (Example, akong damgo kay ako ang President sa US, mao na ang akong pirmi ma-kita while I am in the dream. When I wake up, I find that I am really not the US President, so I realize that I am now back in reality. Same thing with the totems. In Cobb's ideal world, the metal top never stops spinning, so when he sees it stop, he'll know that he's awake).

But what if Cobb willed his top to stop spinning in his dreams?

3. Both Cobb and Saito did age. That's why their conversation went something like "Come back with me to the world where we are both younger men" or something to that effect. I guess they didn't exactly succeed in making Leonardo look older for that scene, but if you watch closely enough you get the implication anyway

Point taken.

4. That was Fischer's dream. They tricked him into thinking that it was Browning's dream but when they gave him the sedative they actually went inside Fischer's dream world. I'm not so sure but I think that's where they were able to "plant" the idea in Fischer's mind to be "his own man and not live in his father's shadows".

If it was Fischer's dream, how would Ariadne know the shortcut to the vault?

The other thread was closed, argh. @dondon: Is there a way to combine 2 threads so that users post on the other thread are incorporated on the other one? I think that was done before.

Anyway, damn I gotta see the movie again on IMAX.
