cues Radiohead's In Limbo
Just came back from watching it and it was indeed a great film but not so much for the hype it's been getting. Feels like TDK all over again, except with lesser flaws and more mindfcuk. Still digesting the movie as I'm typing and reading pages after pages of comments is not helping either. This feels like a typical Nolan movie with a face paced and unemotional ride. I like how he conjured this whole idea and executed it deftly. That being said, it's still nowhere near a masterpiece personally and definitely not his best. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

SPOILERS
Another area I don't really get is when Cobb and Ariadne went into the 4th layer to find Mal and Fischer. If they're both dead, aren't they supposed to be in limbo? And if they're in limbo, how is it possible for Cobb and Ariadne to find them? Anyone care to explain this to me? Plus the location is the world where Cobb and Mal created isn't it, how did Mal and Fischer ended up there? They're only a projection of Cobb?

QUOTE(QuickFire @ Jul 17 2010, 11:18 AM) Heh that's what I've been wondering- how Fischer's limbo has everything Cobb built in HIS limbo. It could be because they're all connected anyway, from the device on the airplane, but I like the idea that everyone, even inside deep layers of dreams, can have their own individual dreams. But anyway, I think they got into Fischer's limbo by connecting the device to his dead body in the snowy mountains lair and entering into his limbo from there. From my understanding, if you die in a dream heavily sedated, you go into limbo and you will NOT realize it isn't reality down there, so it wont cross you mind to shoot yourself so you can get back up there, as you would already think this is reality. But if you connect the device to someone who has gone into limbo, and go into his limbo, you're well aware it's not reality. That's how Cobb and Adriandne saved Fischer. Yea, I definitely need to watch it all again to notice how it all actually works.It also explains why Cobb looked so confused when he met old Saito. Both of them were in their own limbo and accepted what was in front them as reality. Somehow something (in my opinion, the Cobb's totem, but I'm not sure) reminded Saito that he isn't living in reality, and by reminding Cobb about the promise to allow him to return to the states, Cobb is reminded that he has children waiting for him and this cant be reality as well. They both get out of limbo (dont know how, by killing themselves I suppose) and wake up on the plane. I need to watch it again, because I think my interpretation is flimsy. And I dont even wanan go into the whole the-end-is-a-dream debate before I get all the details right. I'm pretty sure in the last scene the totem is one that reminded Saito about the truth and when they both started to remember the promise, they finally realized that they're in limbo and death would save them. If we accept that Cobb and Saito did died in layer 1 and layer 3 respectively, then Saito would have travelled to another limbo and Cobb is stuck in the ending limbo.

I've yet to watch this the second time so I might have missed this. A kick is supposed to happen in a level above which will bring someone back from below right? So what's the point of Eames bombing the hospital in level 3 again since Cobb and Ariadne is in limbo? Assuming that they didn't know that they're going to limbo, then why did Ariadne thought it'd be a good idea to jump off the building in level 4 since a death under high sedation will bring you to limbo.

If you know that you're "incepted", it's not an inception
Btw, I'm still waiting for someone to enlighten me about the bombing in level 3. Anyone? |

QUOTE(QuickFire @ Jul 20 2010, 03:00 PM) What bombing? You mean the endless scenes of Eames arming and planting explosives? Nothing to enlighten, they're just boring! Isn't a kick suppose to happen in the preceding level? i.e Happen in level 2 to bring level 3 back to level 2? We saw that in the beginning when Nash pushed Cobb into the tub to bring him back from the first scene, instead of bringing him back to reality in the plane.OK the detonation acts as a kick to bring them back to level 2. |

QUOTE(QuickFire @ Jul 20 2010, 07:22 PM) The detonation was to bring Cobb and Ariadne back from Fischer's limbo most probably. It didn't really matter since Ariadne and Fishcer killed themselves to get out of there. I'm actually beginning to feel sick thinking about the plot. You see that's exactly what I thought too but Cobb said to Fischer to set the charges even after saying that their mission failed (Fischer died). It's only after that that Ariadne convinced them to go to limbo. Since they don't plan to go any deeper, why set the charges anyway? It's not a kick if you're already in the last level. I'm still puzzled with this scene |

QUOTE(QuickFire @ Jul 21 2010, 07:56 PM) I think he suggested using explosives only after Ariadne convinced them to go into Fischer's limbo. But dont quote me on it. Nope, just came back from watching it again and it was said before that. The movie actually gets better with second viewing, love it even more now.This post has been edited by Makakeke: Jul 21 2010, 08:08 PM |

QUOTE(kobe8byrant @ Jul 21 2010, 09:35 PM) Quickfire is right. I'd hate to agree with him since agreeing with him meant that I was wrong on my initial judgment but the more you see it, the more you realize the action scenes were either too short or too long. First time I've had problems with action scenes from Nolan though. I still believe he has it in him as seen in TDK's car chase. I think the action scenes in TDK and BB were even worse me feels. He never really let the scenes to develop by editing and switching scenes too frequently. I haven't have problems with the action scenes in Inception yet, but I don't think I will ever will since they're never gonna be integral to the film. With that basis, it does bother me with the 2 Batman's.This post has been edited by Makakeke: Jul 21 2010, 09:40 PM |

QUOTE(QuickFire @ Jul 21 2010, 11:21 PM) Sure? Hmm I seem to remember Eames saying something about arming explosives right after Cobb agreed with Araidne to go into the limbo. Shows you that Memento is right, memories can be damn unreliable. Especially my memory. Yea Eames did said that but i also remembered Cobb saying "set the charges" if my hearing didn't fail me right after they said it's over (before Ariadne's suggestion). I need someone to confirm this, I'm having doubts on this one now This I agree with. The zero gravity scenes, especially the fight, looked the most authentic I've seen. Well the action in Batman Begins sucked as well. He improved in TDK, though most people still say the action there sucked. I dunno, but I liked the prison transfer sequence in TDK. Certain parts of it lacked a visual grasp but for the most part it was tense and chaotic... in a good way, I felt. It had three of the film's coolest moments too- Batpod emerging from the Tumbler wreckage, the semi truck doing the flip, and the batpod doing a different flip off the wall. The other fight scenes in TDK dont fare as good in my books, although I found them more watchable in repeat viewings. This post has been edited by Makakeke: Jul 21 2010, 11:40 PM |
