Yeah, limbo doesn't collapse, it is a shared state. So even if we assume that Saito shot himself first, then Cobb could just do it right after.

Also, watching inception in theaters was freaking awesome, but the wife of Cobb looked.... freaking scary to me for some reason, theres this deathly chill in her eyes o_o.
Until the day of his death, no man can be sure of his courage.

Spoilers, I guess.

Yeah, Moll(?)'s eyes were really big. I just came back from seeing it. It was pretty intense. I really loved how Arthur used the elevator. The ending was pretty ARGH for me, xD.

I lol'd in the beginning when Cobb was like, "DON'T DO THAT!" and Juno-girl was like, "Lalala~ I'ma do it anyway." Then she gets stabbed.

If anyone feels nostalgic about the movie, this should bring you back slightly:

Great track! Could be a great song to a pimpest plays video clip or something..

There's so many instrumentals and remixes floating around, it's not even funny. So many producers are working with samples for Inception at the moment.

sorry if this was posted but Cotillard's character was apparently named Mallorie, hence the shortened Mal, which means (probably intentional) Bad or Evil in Spanish. I think her performance as the film's antagonist and the source of Dom's suffering (this role can only be clarified the deeper we get into the film) was very great.
JGL, though his character not actually presented with any significant dilemma, was fine in his role as Cobb's wingman, in fact he's so handsome I thought could go gay for him.

Just saw it. I liked it, was it awesome? Not really. When I go to movie I want those moment that will make me go "HOOOLYYY SHIIIIT" that is why I don't go to movies so much because films like that are pretty rare.

Just saw it. I liked it, thought it was awesome. Action scenes were great, but what I thought was particularly wonderful about the movie was that I didn't really get to enjoy the action scenes, since I was too occupied with the story/concepts/characters. "Oh, that looked cool, now why aren't they experiencing freefall in dream depth 3?"

Or maybe I just suck at multitasking.

Edit: Ending with the top. The point isn't to let the viewer decide (or try to determine by rewatching the movie) whether or not we're still in a dream level. The point is that it doesn't matter to Cobb anymore what the top says about whether or not he's in reality. The top is spinning there, but he's not watching it. We are.

Also, recall that the top is not his Totem. It's his wife's.

I've read that his totem is actually his wedding ring - in top level reality you'll see it on his hand. However, the director goes out of his way to make it hard to see his left hand.

No flaw, he just disliked the movie because he didnt like it. He seems to think that its insulting people find this as a thought provoking movie, when his standards lie elsewhere. That somehow, somethings are to be considered appropiately thought estimulating, while others cannot be judged so.

This movie is less-than-mediocre the second time you watch it. Believe me, the first time I saw it, I was amazed and intrigued at every second, and I enjoyed it very much. I don't know why, but it just kinda sucks the 2nd time I see it. I guess the movie bases itself around suspense. Don't see it the second time if you don't want to ruin it for yourself.
The first sign of maturity is the discovery that the volume knob also turns to the left.

Ok, I get it. You guys find Inception extremely stimulating, and I respect that, but it's mainly because you've been fed with films Hollywood shat out since birth. You're easily fooled.
As for my own opinion about the movie, I already said I thought it was a decent action-flick but I'm so utterly confused and disgusted by people (there's a lot of them) rating is as 'one of the best movies of the decade!' 'epic mindfuck!' and so on. To me, it's the exact same thing as what happened with reviews of Avatar - at first there's this extreme praise, then after a year or so nobody thinks it's the 'BEST MOVIE EVER' anymore. How come?
So they remade The Italian Job inside Leonardo di (Paprika). What a great concept. You might think it's really 'awesome' right now but It's not a movie anyone will remember and praise in a few years.

The movie was pretty simple, but it had a format that allowed me to suspend my disbelief for some cool action scene, so it was enjoyable. Thought-provoking? Its just superficial and sprouts truism.

yea this movie didnt give me the holy shit feeling. I actually enjoy reading summaries/explaination of the movie more as i dont understand many parts of it.

but I love the sci-fi of it. each layer of dream has different timing.

Euphemism Euphemism Euphemism Euphemism!

I was reading your post, maybe you can expand for me?

You said it is not the viewers job to decide whether (Or determine) he is dreaming or not.

But you also end your sentence with "We are." (We are watching to see if it falls or not...)

Doesn't that imply that we are 'deciding' 'watching' to see if it falls or not? So it is the viewers choice to make a decision

You're going about it the wrong way, you're acting like you're better than us just because you like more arty obscure movies that don't come from Hollywood.

What makes your opinion better than ours? That you watch movies that no one's ever heard of and will never be commercially viable because they're crappy?

And for your information, I hate Hollywood movies as well (I like foreign or arty movies more). I thought Avatar was just plain shit (Pocahontas 3d). The only movies I've liked recently from Hollywood is 500 days of Summer, Kick-Ass and Inception.

What a surprise, 8.0, 8.2 and 9.2 on IMDB. High scores for ridiculously good films.

Paprika was a ridiculously shit movie, with the standard nonsensical anime ending which doesnt make ANY SENSE AT ALL. Inception displayed the idea a lot better, just because it has the same theme (dreams) and conveys it in a much more understandable manner doesn't mean it's shit because it's "from Hollywood".

You're just a movie elitist who thinks too much and doesn't enjoy a movie for what it is: entertainment. I was thoroughly entertained, something that I can't say the same for Paprika.

/end rant.

I'm with shauni on this one, Inception was like 2,5/5 or something, I mean come on, there's a Donald Duck comic with a similar plot (the beagle boys invade Scrooge's dreams to steal the combination to his safe) that's 17 years old
