Consensus: Smart, innovative, and thrilling, Inception is that rare summer blockbuster that succeeds viscerally as well as intellectually.

Why can't Hollywood do more stuff like this? Instead we get talk of another remake of a classic movie.

On a side note, I notice several people say they can do dream within a dream. I don't remember if I have ever done that. But I do remember when I was a kid I would always dream that I could fly all around like Superman (but it was mostly my neighborhood) and my name was some bizarre name. I have no idea WTF that meant but it was weird and cool at the same time.
I used to get the flying dreams as a kid as well. Those are by far the best dreams I have ever experienced and they are always vivid, in fact, I can still to this day remember every single one like it was an actual experience in my life. As I grew older they got increasingly rarer to the point where I don't get them any more.

This movie was amazing in so many different ways yet members here seems to be obsessing as to whether or not the final scene was "real".



The character's journey (in this case. Cobb) is really and truly all that matters.


I just watched this film for the first time last night, and I let my kids watch it tonight. I tend to "prescreen" movies for my younger kids. I'm not sure how to say this exactly so I'll make a list:


1) my young kids are a 15 year old girl and a 13 year old boy
2) they had no problem following the story, they understood the plot as did I
3) the first comment either of them made when it ended was from my daughter, she said turned to me and said,"the top was wobbling."
4) we all thought it was a great movie, one of the best in recent memory

Pretty awesome.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it in here, but when the movie ended I told my girlfriend that Cobb couldn't ever know as long as he was using Mal's top as a totem.

Then why the hell would he be so concerned with spinning the top everytime he wakes up.

That is what I wondered throughout the film. It is made clear that it is her totem many times... I guess to throw off the viewer perhaps??

Maybe subconsciously he thinks the top will work on him too?

Speaking of totems..Anyone ever figure out what the hell Ariadne's totem was supposed to do? A chess piece with a hole in it? Whats the functionality of it?

What was the functionality of any of the totems? I thought they were just personal items that only they knew the weight of. Do I need to watch this movie again?

When you knock her totem over it will always roll to the same position after it falls.

So in a dream, it would keep rolling? Or would stop at a random position?

Another totem question: WHY do they work? Why would a top keep spinning in a person's dream? Wouldn't the dreamer want the dream to be as normal as possible, therefor making the top fall?

I would assume in a dream it would always be a random position while in the real world it would always land in the same position.

I do agree with you questioning why the totem is a good method at all because your mind would make it real in a sense.
