So he wants to capture himself in a dream because the whole movie is all about him wanting to get back to his family (and out of the last dream)? Seems to run directly opposite of your supposition.

lol. I'm sorry, my phrasing was offensive. I meant to say that it is the interpretation that makes least sense to me logically (among serious theories, of course total loony ones are way more stupid).

Yeah, I love you too, but I don't think my theory is loony. I still like the idea that his wife could be alive in real life and he is stuck in a dream.

Oh yeah, that's entirely possible.

Best film of the year so far........by alot.

.

"Inception" is an excellent and breathtaking movie that may be one of the only films released so far during the Summer of 2010 that lives up to its hype. It is a nearly perfect and highly original film that holds your attention until the credits roll. The less you know about this movie going in, the more you will be entranced by seeing it.

.

Lets just say it was all a dream and in the directors cut, he wakes up and is infact michael moore.

Or was a dreaming about watching the film, is anything real?

On a serious note watched it last week. Was a solid 8 out of 10 but could have done more with the idea.

His reason for example could be that he can't get back to his children and his wife really is dead, so he puts himself into a dream state where he can be back with his children and to believe it he has to completely fool himself.

But that doesn't address the fact that the children are older, all of the other people around him, etc.

I thought about that, too, before responding, there's just too much shit that goes directly against that.

There is literally no motivation to remain in that dream state. Why would he give up and, instead, stay in his dream when he really wants to see his kids and:

He had a long ass dialogue with his subconscious projection of Mal about how linear she was, revealing, inexorably, that she was only broken memories of her real self.

A person as intelligent and as observant as Cobbs would not be able to live in a world where he knew everything around him was an empty, linear, shell of it's reality counterpart. He'd very quickly lose his mind and he would be fully aware of that. (Again, refer to his conversation with Mal.)

Like I think I told you in our conversation though, that's not something I think is likely nor particularly supported by the movie, it is just something that's possible imo. I only told you about it to show how the totem is not a great way to make sure something is real.

I agree, I don't think it's supported by the movie at all...especially considering his children are older.

Ended up seeing the movie and enjoyed it

8.5/10

Can someone please explain why it took Leo entering the dreams of like 4 different people just to reach limbo at the end, yet he and Mal had previously been able to reach that plane of existence all by their lonesome?

They weren't trying to get to Limbo when going through all the dreams.

like blaxican said, they weren't trying to get to limbo.. they just needed to go to limbo to retrieve saito, where he was trapped and had grown into an old man.. and limbo just happened to be the next dream within a dream within a dream within a dream.. if saito wasn't shot and killed while in a drug induced dream, he would've simply woken up and they wouldn't need to go to limbo at all..

with cobb and mal, they were experimenting and got lost because they tumbled into limbo and couldn't wake up.. they reached that plane by accident..

I wonder if the inception team can take on Freddy Kruger.

Looks like I´m gonna have to watch this film then, sounds up my street.

Just got back from watching it, absolutely BRILLIANT.

Not gonna give it marks out of ten as whether you like a movie or not is a matter of taste.

Nevertheless it´s one of the best movies Ive ever seen.

I just rewatched Inception, and something didn't seem to make sense regarding Cobb, Saito, and Limbo. Cobb went into Limbo BEFORE Saito. So why was Saito an old man while Cobb did not appear to be old? Was it just a perception thing? Because Timewise Cobb was in Limbo first and therefore should have been as old if not older than Saito. Anybody have an answer for me on that?
