Anyone see this movie yet? From what I have heard its been a box office hit. Its sounds like a pretty cool movie too. Same director of the new Batman movies and same composer too.

I like movies like that then. Means watching it again is just as fun =)

Serenity - August 7, 2010 01:43 AM (GMT)
Well I am going to the movies to see this tomorrow. I'll be sure to let everyone know what I thought about it =)

Twee - August 7, 2010 02:57 AM (GMT)
You'll like it for sure.

If you don't like it, you'll have to be purged of the gene pool. Whoever doesn't like this movie needs to be, for that matter.

Twee - August 7, 2010 03:49 AM (GMT)
I like your way of thinking.

gordogg24p - August 7, 2010 08:49 PM (GMT)
So, Twee, I would like to hear your opinion. Was he dreaming?

gokyle45 - August 7, 2010 09:03 PM (GMT)
So it makes you think ? I need to go see this ASAP.

Serenity - August 8, 2010 12:21 AM (GMT)
I finally got to see Inception =)

Spoilers:

So yeah I really liked it a lot. The dreams within dreams concept was pretty amazing and when you found out what he had done to his wife with Inception it really adds the twist to it all. The ending was pretty clever too, it never really let you know if he made it back to reality or not. It definitely had that Shutter Island feel as well where the main character was not in reality.

gordogg24p - August 8, 2010 01:02 AM (GMT)
Honestly, the ending wasn't clever. You should've seen that ending coming from about 3 days before you saw the movie, just knowing the premise. What do you think, Real? Dream or not?

Serenity - August 8, 2010 01:09 AM (GMT)
I like the cliffhanger ending. I thought it was great. You never knew if he made it back or not.

I'd like to think he was back in the real world and made it home.

gordogg24p - August 8, 2010 02:32 AM (GMT)
Wouldn't we all like to think that. The one argument that my friend came up with for why he is still dreaming: His kids look the exact same as he remembers them. Why haven't they aged?

Serenity - August 8, 2010 02:55 AM (GMT)
well he's been in the dream world and years go by in a matter of mins in the real world.

I believe all the other are back in reality too.

gordogg24p - August 8, 2010 05:24 AM (GMT)
Yes but in the phone call with his kids near the beginning it makes it seem as though it has been a pretty long time frame since he has seen the children. Now that he does see them, why are they the same age? He makes the call in the supposed "reality," so why are they the same appearance-wise as he remembers leaving them in reality?

Twee - August 9, 2010 06:01 PM (GMT)
actually there are two sets of actors for the kids in his memory and
the kids he meets. Plus the top sorta kinda looked like it was gonna fall.
You can think anything you want and I like to think the happier ones.
also funny vid

So I just saw it again. An idea I had for why he is NOT dreaming: In the "Dreams 101" crash course Leonardo DiCaprio gives to Ellen Page, he says that one person creates the dream (the architect) while another person populates the dream. He and his wife were the only two in their dream "session," if you will. Therefore, one of them must be the one to build the setting, while the other person projected the images onto the framework. With his wife dead, there is only him left in the supposed dream, and because you need one person to build and one to project, you are lacking a person. He can only do one thing or the other, not both. His world in the final scene is fully constructed and fully populated. Not a dream. Boom.

Twee - August 11, 2010 07:42 PM (GMT)
well executed boom.

Serenity - August 13, 2010 07:03 AM (GMT)
Well I heard something yesterday at work that kinda brought this back to how he could be in dream world still

You see near the beginning he his dreaming on his own about his dead wife before the girl hooks into him to see what he was looking at. So if he really can create and be in the dreams all by himself then he could very well be in a dream at the end.

gordogg24p - August 13, 2010 03:55 PM (GMT)
Oh damn. True. I thought I had come up with a bulletproof theory too.

well it seems that we've switch views here lol

When we started this thread I was believing he was not in dream world and you were and now its the opposite laugh2

they really did make the ending of this movie open ended lol

Twee - August 13, 2010 10:23 PM (GMT)
well yea it makes sense you could make you own dream without help.
I do it every time I sleep, without high tech gadgets.

I still think he wasn't dreaming.
ok so I didn't put these things together, its on screen rant.

In early dream scenes Cobb is wearing a wedding band that doesn’t appear in the “real world” scenes or the end scenes in the airport – does that mean the ending is “reality?” Details like that are certainly strong evidence that there is a real world and that Cobb does live in it at times – such as when he isn’t wearing a wedding band.

At the end, Cobb’s kids seem to be the same age and are seemingly wearing the same clothes as they were in his memory of them – is it “proof” he’s still dreaming? As carefully documented by our own Vic Holtreman, at the end of the film Cobb’s kids are wearing similar outfits to the ones he remembers, but their shoes are different. As for their ages: if you check IMDB, there are actually two set of actors credited with playing Cobb’s kids. The daughter, Phillipa, is credited as being both 3 and 5 years old, while the son, James, is credited as being both 20 months and 3 years old. This suggests that while it might be subtle, there is a difference between the kids in Cobb’s memories and the kids Cobb comes home to. That would suggest the homecoming is in fact “reality.” But feel free to debate that.
