in response to the ending with the spinney thing.. i read this

 

He was in reality. It was his wifes totem.

He touched it- it became useless.

It wouldnt have matterd if it fell or not as it wasnt his totem.

His kids faces were his totem, he didnt see them in any of the dreams, they always ran away, he saw them in reality.

 

 

i need to see it again but this makes a lot of sense

Iiiinnteresting. That does make a lot of sense. Fuckin' aye. I'm seeing it again tonight and I'll see if that theory makes sense... which I don't see why it wouldn't.

 

But wasn't their totem suppose to be something small that they could fit in their pocket? But that probably doesn't matter in his case.

I saw this SaTURDay and it sucked. I don't mind movies that make you think, but this wasn't in an intellectual way. Let's just make all this shit up as we go along because the movie is basically a 2.5 hour dream sequence. I mean shit, at least dream of some titties for a while or some shit.

I thought it was really good. Not as good as all of the hype and you nerds are making it out to be, but really good nonetheless. Visually stunning, but it takes a bit of concentration to follow what the fuck is going on and there's some plot holes that don't really get resolved. For starters, where the fuck did this technology to get in to dreams come from? They dropped some sort of hint that the military used it, but that's it. And what the fuck kind of teacher is his dad?

 

I thought the ending was brilliant though, the best way it could have ended and gets people talking, which I think is always the sign of a good film.

how long was he away from his children?...years?

 

since his children never got any older than since the last time he saw them i think he stayed in limbo.

Saw it at midnight opening day. Smoked a fat king-sized before, and I think it was a little too indica to allow for serious movie watching. I actually fell asleep in the middle (I know, I know) but was able to follow. Liked it, but knew I had to see it again. So I did, soberly. This movie is really good, but I think the creative license was used a little too loosely in its writing. I'm not really a science fiction guy, so maybe it's just me, but I thought it pretty stupid the way they explained most of the technology and the rules behind it. Something about dream-sharing doesn't make sense? Don't worry, Joseph Gordon-Levitt will explain it in a few words. Of course, that didn't happen TOO often, but you catch my drift. The ending was perfect.

So I just saw it for a second time (got waaay more chills this time around) and that theory discussed before definitely makes a lot of sense, except one obvious question... If the top didn't help him figure out whether he was in a dream or not, then why did he keep using it?

 

 

Anyone got some thoughts?

I saw the trailer for this. Everyone I know was so hyped about it when they saw the trailer. I thought it was going to be fucking retarded. I thought that a serious movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and fucking Juno was stupid. And that part where she says "is this a dream?" I thought it was going to be shitty. But then I saw it and thought it was the shit. Seriously, good storyline, good concept, well executed. I did get kinda turned off in the beginning because of the "500 Days of Summer" guy, but it ended up being really really good.

This movie was awesome. In so many facets. One of the best sci-fi's to come out in recent time. There was only one line that was absolutely not needed. When Leo DC refers to the fact that "we only use a small percentage of our brains in conscious action" is such an outdated perception of human cognition. Otherwise they were pretty spot on with contemporary thought on dreams, the structure of observable consciousness during dreams, and other more abstract metaphysical representations of dream states (mostly french philosophers, which is why the french trope is really awesome). But there is so much attention to detail. To think that Nolan wrote and directed this speaks volumes to his ability to conceive, create and execute a specific vision that is ultimately comprised of multiple parties perception of that vision.

 

It's a wonderful metaphor for how we are in the world itself, and as we exist with other consciousnesses that must impact the world we create for ourselves.
