Inception Movie Discussion

Perhaps I'm too tired but EvilRocketeer what do you mean by ''also, shows Cobbs turn in Limbo but gets kicked back to reality, so does that mean he intentions were to send him back?'' ?

Thanks
 
I thought this was funny (and I'm Asian. I give you permission to chuckle) :lol

in the link, there is a map/layout of the dreams and what characters are participating in each event. Nolan made it for the film...

Well, if you look closely, it has cobb being side track by seito's limbo, but it appears both ride back the kick after they shoot each other
 
Okay, I need help, how do I convince my parents that this is a good movie? They saw it recently and couldn't stop telling me how much they disliked it, and how there had to be no one who liked/understood it. When I explained the exceptional ratings it has from critics and viewers alike, they seemed to think that was everyone just trying to sound smart.

My dad got hung up on not knowing why they needed to get Fischer to break apart the company. Even after I explained that Saito wanted to get rid of his competition, he still didn't seem to get why.

My mom claims not to understand a single element of the film at all.

Anything I can do or are they a lost cause?

I loved the movie, and I've seen it 4 times now...with more times definitely coming down the pike.

Sorry to revive an old thread but I had a question about Inception. Near the end Cobb says to Mal "We did grow old together." and you see them walking down the street much older but when Cobb and Mal lay their heads down on the train tracks they are young. Shouldn't they still have been old?

There are several equally valid theories for why this is the case.
What struck me was that the first occurance of this scene could have been reflecting the perception of Ariadne being told the story, then finally revealing the truth of their extended experience. While they may not have literally grown old, they lived a life as long in their minds. We were seeing that reflected in the final reveal of the storie's ultimate themeatic purpose.

It's hard to apply literal logistics to a flashback within a dream, but I think the answer is: they're both true. Their mental aging was reflected in the last iteration of the story, but not in the first, when their literal age was projected. Differing emotional interpetations of the same event.

The movie is not for everyone. I dont think my parents would like it either. Have you ever seen movies from the 40-50's? They're SO slow compared to movies of today. There are some movies that even I cannot understand either because the pace of the movie is just too fast. Even movies like TDK, I really wish they took their time is some scenes, but it always seems to be a huge rush to get to another explosion. Anyways, I doubt parents, who grew up on much slower paced movies, would be able to appreciate all the concepts and nuances of a movie like Inception if they simply struggle to keep up with the movie and can't figure out what's going on.
 
There are lots of people you just have to accept won't get it, won't like it, or won't have the patience for it. Some people don't really pay attention to movies. They put them on and knit or read a magazine or talk. This one requires you to be involved. Great movie.

Thankfully for your head, Inception and The Facebook Play are nominated in separate categories.

Unfortunatley still, I think Inception is going to loose to "King's Speech", which I have some reservations about being nominated in the "Original Screenplay" category.
