Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Cobb is the only one who has touched his totem, so no one else can mimic how it feels, weight, etc.Sort of like Saito deduced he was still in a dream by the feel of his rug. Something only he could know - it was a totem even though he didn't know the concept. Link to post Share on other sites
Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 ...There are a lot of dream-like things that happen in the top level, probably the most unusual having to do with Saito. He says "take a leap of faith", which is the phrase that Mal used when she jumped. Also, he shows up exactly where Cobb happens to be in Mombasa. The whole Mombasa scene is pretty surreal (how did he get there? he jumps off the second story of the bar and lands safely.... squeezes between those walls... etc. ) All of this is still obviously ambiguous.Also, the jets and helicopters are blank white. Just like many of the vehicles in the First Level Dream are nondescript black. Link to post Share on other sites
Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Ok. Finally saw it. Yeah, I'm Amish.Great movie, very well done.Only discontinuity I noticed was during the weightless elevator scene, why did the charges make the elevator actually move if it was still weightless?Ellen Paige is cute, but just not strong enough for a movie like this. She looked like such a child compared to Marion Cotillard. I thin the "Real" Inception of this Movie was in Cobb's mind making him accept that Mal's death was justified. He can now go on with his life without her since they had 50 years and grew old together. ("Mal" means "Bad") Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 She looked like such a child compared to Marion Cotillard.Wasn't that supposed to be how the character was portrayed? I young, naive, genius, college student getting involved in something she shouldn't be involved in (Cobb and Mal's relationship). Link to post Share on other sites

SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 is that really even a question? obviously the elevator was being pushed by the force of the explosion. Link to post Share on other sites

SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 at the very end of the movie, after leo spins his totem and is hugging his children, the focus shifts to michael cain and he looks at leo and the kids and smiles in a way i'd never noticed. it made me think that this scene was a world set up inside leo's mind by him so he could finally just be happy. not sure why, it just struck me that way when i saw it.main reason i think the end is a dream is because the kids look exactly the same as they have in every flashback - i just cannot get past that. earlier in the movie he speaks on the phone with the kids and they sound older than the kids he is with at the end. flimsy but its all i got.

speedz99 145 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 main reason i think the end is a dream is because the kids look exactly the same as they have in every flashbackYeah, not sure I could ever be convinced this isn't the case, unless there are screen captures that show it's actually a different scene from the vision he's been having. I guess who the hell knows exactly why or how he's still in a dream though. Link to post Share on other sites
