WOW!! - now with that out of the way. WOW, what a movie!
Just got home from the cinema (movie was only released here tonight), and my mind is still working over everything in that movie.
Before I went to see the movie I read briefly through the plot on imdb (like 2 or 3 sentences), and then I didn’t even grasp the enormity/possibilities of that, that was still to come. From what I read on the internet people seemed rather unresolved regarding the ending, so I made I point to pay real close attention right from the start.
The movie had a few funny moments, which i think sort of allowed you to just relax a bit before getting back to what was going on and maybe helped speed along things, the movie started pretty fast and then after the first 20 or so min it slowed down a bit. The calm before the storm, but once that storm got started it was insane! Following multiple layers of the story near the end was really awesome.
Just a note, the movie is long, like I think 2 and a half hours, so I wouldn’t recommend you go watch the late night movie, in case you have to work the next day.
So here are some of my thoughts.
If your going to stop reading here, thank you and hope you sort of enjoyed this, my first attempt at blogging about something.
WARNING ITS ALL SPOILERS!! =p
First off these are just ideas I have off possible endings or stuff that could have influenced the way things ended, and by no means have I read anything anywhere about what really happened. I doubt Id want to, for now anyway.
Let’s get right into it, at the end, Cobb spins the top on the table to see if it’s real or another dream and then the credits appear just as it seems like it might topple. Could it be that he is still in a dream, maybe the one he was in with his wife initially? though that would mean that he idea he planted in his wife’s mind backfired upon himself and he got lost in all of it. That’s very unlikely I guess.
I’m not sure though whether or not there is some rule regarding projections and their parts they can play in the dream. It could be fine maybe? Since if his wife sure played a large part..
Another thing, if he were gone for so long from home wouldn’t his children have aged? Though we never their faces till the end. Then again maybe he wasn’t gone for long =p
OK I’m going to stop writing now, cause the more I think about it the more theories I get. I would love to see this movie again.
If someone actually got this far and didn’t cheat..
thank you very much =)
