I'm for just taking the ending at face value:

QUOTE(QuickFire @ Jul 16 2010, 12:17 PM) And how did he do that? By showing him the totem? Cobb looked confused in that scene. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Incidentally, I think that particular scene is the most complex and layered in the entire movie. I'll be paying special attention to it when I watch it again. |

QUOTE(dlct87 @ Jul 17 2010, 03:51 PM) the only thing i can say is this movie packed too much stuffs inside it, you will never get everything in 1 go (in fact, you won't even after several viewings), but most people liked it despite that You'll "get it" on the first viewing. But you'll need more viewings to fully "get it". |

QUOTE(ate @ Jul 19 2010, 03:38 PM) saito was looking for his rivals secret, which cillain murphy never had a peek off, how come he knew what was in the vault without going into it. If he did why didnt he tell cobb in the 1st place after getting his trust. Well, that's why you didn't like it. You weren't paying attention.I suggest that next time you go to the movies, forget the popcorn, go pee beforehand, switch off your phone, don't talk, and watch a movie like it's meant to be watched. |

QUOTE(mssv19 @ Jul 19 2010, 04:01 PM) It was brillian btw. I thought, how will you plant an idea to a person and convince him of that. Of course, by using emotional persuasion. Making use of Robert Junior regret of not living up to his father expectation and the final secret in the safe which I think is what Robert Junior desire and wanted all along, his father approval & acceptance. If you think about it, its morally wrong to toy with a person emotion...and the audience seems to lap on it hehehe Okay, question that I haven't seen asked yet:Did they really fool Fischer into accepting the idea? Was his father in the vault and the paper fan in the safe a creation of Eames? Or did Fischer genuinely come into that realization on his own? Remember Eames did say at one point, "I really wanted to see what's in there." |

QUOTE(ate @ Jul 19 2010, 04:20 PM) pay attention what so little action only, matrix much better The answer to the question you asked was clear to everyone else who watched the movie. If you missed it, it's obvious that you weren't concentrating. Or perhaps you're not used to giving a movie your full attention. You're the kind of person who takes phone calls in the cinema, aren't you? |

QUOTE(streethype @ Jul 19 2010, 04:27 PM) I think after Eames and co. influenced him into thinking his goddad was trying to hide something, their job is already done. The last part where he discover the 'truth' should be the outcome of direction where they wanted him to think about at the first place. I hope so. Would be a nice ending for Fischer. Quick edit: Example, they already know that he will have a new decision already after deceiving him, so lastly the 'decision' that they expect in the end is actually based on how he want to portray the 'truth' himself. Another example, Fischer could picture that his dad actually loves him and wants him to become a man himself by building his own empire. That is 1 possibility. Another possibility would he would potray the 'truth' that his dad hates him and said he doesn't deserve to succeed the great empire his dad has built on. All in all there are a lot of other possibility but it just depend on how Fischer 'creates' the 'truth' himself which is the last thing we see in the 'safe vault' QUOTE(ReWeR @ Jul 19 2010, 04:29 PM) Saito on the other hand I feel he get his karma ... he try to do bad thing to Fischer and end up sendiri went into coma forever ... haiz ... Ah, karma. Here's another perspective on the film that I just heard from a friend:Cobb is not a good person. Neither is Saito. Both of them are trying to victimize Fischer, an innocent man. From a karma point of view, if Cobb is still trapped in a dream world at the end, it's because he deserves it. Also, I mentioned this before - I got the impression that Cobb incepted an idea into Saito, the same idea he incepted into Mal. Which means that Saito would eventually believe that reality is not real, and that he will end up killing himself. Which, again, is what he deserves. |

QUOTE(+Newbie+ @ Jul 19 2010, 04:32 PM) You know, that's a good question. I'd forgotten Eames said that. I remember them saying that they wanted to fool Fisher into believing the Snow World is the godfather's dream (the godfather was never there in the first place) and that Eames was somehow involved in the dream itself. Maybe, that was Fisher's dream and Eames was the architect? No, the dreamer is always the architect. Ariadne designed each level, then taught them to each of the dreamers - Yusuf (level 1, city streets), Arthur (level 2, hotel), and Eames (level 3, snow fortress). That's why at the snow fortress level, Cobb asked her, "Did Eames add anything to the design?" |

QUOTE(dlct87 @ Jul 19 2010, 04:43 PM) that made me wonder, why the hell she designed that fortress to be on a snowy mountain? and not some easier location? Fischer asked the same question: "Why couldn't someone have dreamed a goddamn beach?!" |

QUOTE(+Newbie+ @ Jul 19 2010, 04:54 PM) I initially thought this was what happened as well. But I think n00b13 is right in pointing out that Eames said he wished he could see what was inside. Eames said it when Fischer was "dead".I think to answer the question, did Eames say this, in front of Fisher or when Fisher wasn't around? |

QUOTE(ReWeR @ Jul 19 2010, 05:30 PM) Third dream end up far from fortress is actually an accident ... the more accident part is the fortress super heavy guard ... because Fischer was trained to defense his mind previously. Aahhhhh. Good one. I think that's something we've been missing all along in this discussion - the fact that they didn't know Fischer's subconscious would be guarded. The layout of each level was probably planned all along; Ariadne must have designed the streets, the hotel and the snow fortress beforehand. But everything else would have been improvised. Remember the "Mr. Charles" ploy wasn't part of their original plan. This post has been edited by n00b13: Jul 19 2010, 05:43 PM |

QUOTE(QuickFire @ Jul 19 2010, 05:42 PM) Eames just added some kind of bullshit shortcut in his level, the only purpose for this "shortcut" is to have the film force Ariadne into telling the layout of the level to Cobb whose projection of Mal then uses the info to kill Fischer. See, some parts of the script is so contrived it's just bullshit. Dude, this isn't contrived, it makes perfect sense. |

QUOTE(+Newbie+ @ Jul 19 2010, 05:45 PM) Remember the first mission against Saito? No, level 2 was Arthur's dream, designed to seem familiar to Saito. Level 1 was Nash's dream, in which he was also the architect. So again, the dreamer is always the architect.Level 1 was the traitor's dream. Level 2 was Saito's dream. |
