Inception. Discuss.

Great movie. Many possibilities, and many points of discussion.

SPOILER ALERT spoilers may be possible, so if you haven’t seen the movie, read with extreme caution.

The only thing I wanted more out of the movie, were more trippy enviroments. The paris expose was great. loved every second of it. (But I guess I know that they had to keep everything looking realistic for the target…still. Wanted to see more of those paradoxes in action :slight_smile: )

Yeah, more dreamscape like things would have been cool but the relative realism of the dreams I liked.

An EXTREMELY good movie, I’ve got to say. My favorite movie, actually. I’m a really big fan of multiple storylines and this movie played on that to the extreme. The time differences between each dream level made it a lot more enjoyable as well. I’m definitely getting the Blu-Ray when it comes out.

The ending was just holy shit. I’ve seen a lot of theories floating around on it too, one of which has to do with Cobb’s wedding ring.

Am I allowed to post spoilers in here?

Well…talking about the finer points of the movie would probably be spoilery, but those are the interesting parts to get into…I think I missed the thing with the wedding ring, was that supposed to be his totem?

Yes

With his wedding ring, apparently in real life he wasn’t wearing a wedding ring and yet in the dreams he was (or maybe it was the other way around, not sure).

And for some reason I kept on thinking that he(the director) was also alluding to video games as a kind of dreaming for some reason…that scene with all those old people sleeping underground seemed to evoke a kind of Dreaming LAN party…maybe I’m reading too much into it, but it’s interesting to think of it that way.

He did mention that the shared dreaming thing was made so soldiers could practice on each other without having to worry about killing each other. I think that’d be pretty cool if we could do that in real life :smiley: .

That would hurt. A lot. But damn if that wouldn’t be good training and be as good as the real thing, then I don’t know what is. Imagine with all that compounded time, how much experience you’ll gain.

And while typing I just made a connection that dreaming = hyperbolic time chamber in dragonball z.:expressionless: Only you can go deeper, and there are hyperbolic chambers inside hyperbolic chambers.

IT TOPPLES IF YOU STAY AFTER THE CREDITS

What topples?

Your mom. Are you serious, though, Ramirezoid?

Nah, he’s trolling.
