GianniVacca Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Inception, anyone? I've just seen it and I think it's to soon to comment on it... Too much thought-provoking stuff. I still like the Dreamlands better though Quote 「天朝大國」,https://rpggeek.com/rpgitem/92874/celestial-empire 很有意思: http://celestialempire.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vile Traveller Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I thought it was pretty entertaining, but I don't understand why everyone is saying it's so complicated ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GianniVacca Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 but I don't understand why everyone is saying it's so complicated ... BEWARE MEGA-SPOILER!!!!!! Basically the big question is-- did the top fall at the end of the film? If yes, then the film is "as told"; if not, it means the film itself was a dream (thus moving all the other dreams one level deeper).

Guest Vile Traveller Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Yes, but that's a simple cliff-hanger, a bit like the (more literal) cliff-hanger at the end of the Italian Job. It leaves the audience wondering, "will it fall/won't it fall?", but it's not a twist as such. I thought the sequence(s) of events in the film was easy to follow. But I don't want to say it's a worse movie for all that, I think it's well worth seeing. I like open-ended films like this, because it means that in a way the film is never over in my mind. It felt a lot like anime in many ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rungard Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I liked it a lot but ***SPOILER ALERT*** I didn't understand how do they save Fisher and Saito after they're shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GianniVacca Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Fisher is not dead, and they manage to revive him. Saito OTOH dies in the deep level of the dream and is hence lost in Limbo -- where Cobb finds him later on.

Rungard Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 ***SPOILER ALERT*** . . . . Ok I'd forgotten that about Fisher, but how does Cobb get into Limbo? Can you access limbo if you're not dead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 He probably never left it - I thought he was dreaming all the while, he probably invented the whole thing in limbo.
