Late to the Inception party? Yeah, me too.

The other thread filled up because they were talking about some comic book movie I guess?

Anyway this is an awesome film about some very sexy people doing some very weird things.

So, let's talk some more about this movie that is WAY TOO SMART FOR THE AVERAGE AMERICAN.

Seriously, go see this fucking movie.

EDIT:

INSTANT INCEPTION

    this was awesome

    I'm going from the
    everything in the film was the inside of his mind

    standpoint here, but who do y'all think
    the Point Man represents, if that is the case? There were more clear roles for what the other main characters represented as projections, but his was a little more difficult. Also, why the fuck did they call Mal "The Shade?"

    This movie didn't have very much characterization outside of the main character. I felt like that was a shame.

    Honestly, I am totally cool with this movie being all about Cobb and just having the other characters be along for the freaky-as-hell ride.

    A movie doesn't necessarily need any subplots to be good.

    Because every time I go to a movie with my mom, the first thing out of her mouth after it's over is "That was too long".

    Sometimes she's actually right (Return of the King) but she says this shit after EVERY. MOVIE.

    i took my mom out to see it because she loves sci fi.

    aside from the violence, which she doesn't even look at the screen for anymore, she loved it.

    Actually I liked Fischer more than any of the other characters
    That's precisely why I didn't mind all of the ambiguity
    I was able to take a more distant point of view

    Walking out of the movie I felt like monoxide.

    Halfway through the drive home my brain started to melt as I kept running through possibilities.

    Now I come back to find this thread new and fucking empty of different viewpoints

    CD just blew my mind a little bit.

    so, best heist movie ever pretty much.

    I'm sure it's been talked to death but
    I love how the movies plot is about implanting ideas and the movie simultaneously does this to the audience. As a viewer I wanted to question the reality of every situation and the movie itself very early on. It was most obvious in the conversation between Cain and DeCaprio. Regardless of what we were supposed to think really happened plot wise I liked that the whole movie planted and idea in the audiences head that was allowed to grow and was if nothing else nurtured by the vague ending.

    I don't know if that sounds like crap or not. I'm still digesting.

    Just walked out of this movie and i have so many questions


    Ok, mostly just two:
    If Cobb and Mal were in Limbo for 50 years, why are they young when they get hit by the train? We walked out of the movie theatre and spent an hour and a half figuring things out, and this was one of the things that just didn't make sense no matter how we tried to play with it.

    (Side question: How did they get to Limbo in the first place? Is this ever explained?)

    and:

    How did Ariadne and Cobb get to Limbo from the snow level? We weren't sure on Ariadne's whole plot, but it seemed like they (Ariadne and Cobb) just popped open another dream machine? How did that lead them to Limbo? Why not just another level of dreaming?

    This is the other one thing that really confused us, since so much of the plot relies on Limbo being a level of dreaming completely separated from the whole other stack of dreams.
