Inception remains one of the most ambitious and most analyzed films of all time, a labyrinth of dream levels disguising a deeper metaphor of the anxieties of the filmmaking process itself. But one lingering mystery has always been... what exactly does Mal represent in this allegory? Erik Voss finally reveals this secret in a scene by scene investigation into the film's visual details and hidden meaning!

A key line to this story that gets overlooked is when Weems says that the incepted idea has to be positive rather than negative. He thought positive ideas take root better, but I think incepting negative ideas is dangerous. For example, Cobb incepted a negative idea into Mal, that her world *ISN'T* real. It was this negation that ended up defining her. She couldn't see past the need to negate the falseness of her world. And Cobb himself couldn't get past the notion that he had caused the death of his wife. That guilt trapped him, isolated him from his reality, his children. He had to accept her death. The time they had together was all he was ever going to get, so it was going to have to be enough. By accepting that, he replaced "I killed her" with "We had our time together." And that allowed his projection of her to rest. After all, the Mal we see in this film IS his idea of her, defined by his guilt. By changing his mind, he changed her. What's so interesting about this movie is that there is no objective reality. That was literally its point. We're always dreaming a reality based on our best guess of what is real. We only have two choices, engage with the reality in front of us, or don't. We have to just hope that the reality in front of us is the one we share with our loved ones. And this gets back to the key line from Weems, that a positive idea is better than a negative one. When we define our reality through, "I want to stick it to my heartless father" or some other such negative, that's not a reality worth living in. I think we see the results of people defining their reality through negatives all the time. It makes people insane and horrible. But if we define it with something positive, "My father wanted me to be my own man and live for my own happiness," that's a path to a reality worth living in. We can't know if it's "true." But it doesn't matter.

Cobb's totem is his wedding ring. Mal's totem is the spinning top. In the movie, it's established that Dom planted the spinning top in Mal's memories to get them back to reality.
@matthewcastleton2263
@matthewcastleton2263 9 ай бұрын
He does use her totem though because he doesn't trust his own totem the wedding ring. He believes that he's still married to her and that she's still alive in his dreams (which is why he wears the ring while dreaming), but Mal is correct that he doesn't really believe in one reality anymore, which is why he chooses to not wear his wedding ring when he's awake (because he knows that his wife is dead). However, he doesn't truly know if his reality is real, so he spins her top while awake to confirm it so he doesn't simply go looking for his wedding ring or something, which would defeat the purpose of having a totem in the first place (because it represents something impossible in reality that is totally possible in the dream world). Unless he sold his wedding ring when Mal died, he probably still has it somewhere. He doesn't wear it when he's awake because of the memory of her death (which he kinda caused because he planted the belief in her via inception that what she believed to be reality wasn't real), but his guilt over her death causes him to question his reality, leading him to possibly put his wedding ring on while awake because Mal always shows up in his dreams when he is wearing it. Ergo, why he also uses her top to confirm that he truly is awake. Maybe his wedding ring really did become his totem after Mal's death, but it simply wasn't good enough to truly convince him that he wasn't still dreaming due to the massive guilt he developed.

Amazing analysis. I think the time dilation in the filmmaking metaphor is meant to evoke how you can spend hours, days or even months creating what will only be a few seconds or minutes of the film (especially in today's vfx). If you don't choose to go home to your family you can get sucked into an endless pursuit of perfection.

Brilliant as this movie is, the one thing that bothers me about it is the layered time dilation. Things are sped up in a dream... but if you dream about having a dream, the speed increase does not "stack" and increase further; it's still your regular brain doing the dreaming, at the same increased speed. Of course you could dream about having a dream and it being sped up as well, but at that point some detail must get lost in interpolation, since your brain will not be able to keep up.

There’s one important scene you didn’t touch on that bolsters your idea that it doesn’t matter if he’s awake or not because his reality is his choice. It’s the scene with the dream shaman that Yusuf takes the group to and the shaman says a very important line that goes something like, “No. They come to be woken up. The dream has become their reality. Who are you to say otherwise? I think everything after the sedation here is a dream where Cobb came to ultimately be “woken up.” When he supposedly wakes up he goes to the bathroom panicked and spins mals totem but is interrupted and hits the top over on accident making it so he nor the audience can establish whether the rest of the movie is a dream or reality. But I think that one line the shaman says is really the point Nolan is trying to get at.
@trey3905
@trey3905 Жыл бұрын
great point with the shaman, i never really thought that is where the dream started for Cobb. I think the entire movie is about trying to wake Cobb up and Mal was right. There are so many things that point to this, and the fact that he is spinning Mal's totem should tell you it can't be trusted. yes it was hers but that totem can't be trusted. again great point, and you could be right. it makes sense with him saying that but i'm convinced the movie is a dream. such a mind twister, i love it.

Excellent work on this! Did you happen to touch on the naming of Mal? It’s interesting that one of the prominent lyrics in Piaf’s song is “Ni le mal” meaning “not the bad.” And her name Mal also sounds like Maul. Also, Mal is probably a nickname for Mallory. Which would make sense because Mallory means “the unlucky one.”

I Said this so many years ago but Mal is Heath Ledger. The director wrote a role in the joker so depressing that it made Heath Ledger (accidentally) kill himself. The whole movie is about Nolan getting rid of his guilt and returning back to what he loves.

Erik, I do not think that Mal is the composer. She is a female phantom foil for Cobb. I think she is the *Film Editor*, who is always looming in the background affecting the production and calling into question the director's ultimate creative vision. Specifically, I think Mal is a younger more physically beautiful representation of Nolan's [female] Momento film editor, Dody Dorn. Interestingly, Momento came out in 2000, right around the time Nolan started working on Inception: "Before Christopher Nolan started working with Lee Smith, it was Dody Dorn who shaped the editing rhythms of the filmmaker’s work. Dorn was tasked with cutting together the dueling narratives of Nolan’s breakthrough mystery “Memento,” which earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Film Editing." In a sense, the film editor (who turns uncut footage from a film shoot into a finished, cohesive final product) is inherently a bit of a behind-the-scenes foil for a visionary director such as Nolan. Because no matter how well she cuts it, the end product of a film will always be at best an imperfect approximation of what Nolan imagined creating in his head before filming. That's another aspect of filmmaking that Nolan doesn't have control over (in addition to the musical composition). Therefore, the film will never be 100% perfectly portrayed as he envisaged (due to the limitations of time), which means Nolan has to accept the final edit that she had a stake in. And real 'waking' life at the finale of Inception, in which Mal doesn't appear anymore, represents the life/film as Cobb/Nolan always imagined it would look. Would love to hear people's thoughts on this theory...

I love your take on this, Erik, with Inception being the roles in the dreammaking / filmmaking process. A decade before Inception came out, I took a screenwriting class, and one of things that came up in that class was that you are intentionally trying to induce a dream state in the viewer. A lot of filmmaking techniques, jump cuts in particular, are to put you in the dream state so that you suspend disbelief. I kind of felt this about the movie (it's obviously intentional), but hadn't put it together myself. However, I was really hoping you'd touch on the fact that just like Cobb is an unreliable narrator, Cobb himself cannot trust the one thing he should be able to trust - his totem. Because it's not his totem, it's Mal's. Cobb systematically sets up all the rules of this world, only to be the one breaking all those rules. You showed where they mention this, but not about the totem, specifically. Cobb says you can't trust a totem anyone else has touched, so Cobb using a totem that is not his own is a really odd rule to break, almost a tacit admission that he would prefer to stay in the dream, a dream where he's allowed to break the rules. I think this is really why he shakes his head there ... because he can't be sure, but also because he prefers the dream.
@danielbadillo8334
@danielbadillo8334 Жыл бұрын

I didn’t necessarily receive it as him breaking his own rule, but a way to display his obsession with his wife, since he was already wearing wedding ring. In the beginning of the movie after the failed inception, he spins it without his wedding ring. I know we can’t know for sure but it just looks like an obsession of his mixed together with the guilt of incepting his wife to believe that every level is a dream(sort of a play on postmodern films where she no longer believes in objective truths).

@@scottcortez1313 That’s a bit of a chicken and egg question. But I think dreams influenced the way we make movies. The visual language of film evolved over time, and it took dozens of years for that language to develop as filmmakers learned what worked for audiences and what didn’t. And that’s not to say that every movie uses these dream state techniques, but the more you want people to suspend disbelieve, the more it behooves them to do that. That’s not to say that what we see in films doesn’t unconsciously make it into our dreams, but I think this is a case of the dreams coming first,,and filmmakers learning how to mimic that feeling.

If you assume what we start with in the movie was actually the real world and not another dream layer. I still think you got it wrong. First, how long was he in exile?...Years. And young kids grow really fast. During the entire movie he keeps having flashbacks on how he remembers them from when he last saw them. And they're of identical ages of when he did finally see them at the end of the movie. They haven't aged... That is because him going back home and reuniting with his kids is all still in his mind as him still being in a dream.

The "meta" layer of the movie is that dreams and movies are the same thing. So if that's the case, the movie itself is Cobb's dream, through which he incepts the idea into himself that ends up being the movie's own thesis.

The opening scene being Cobb washing up in the ocean reminds me a lot of the book The Lathe of Heaven. The opening of the book talks about a jellyfish in the ocean before it is tossed coldly onto the shore, as a comparison of our consciousness in dreams vs. awake. The whole book reminds me of inception too, since it’s all about a man who finds out that he is able to change reality with his dreams (whenever he dreams of something, the real world changes to that when he awakes).

I got a minute into this deep dive, then was like, “I haven’t watched Inception in over a decade, let me go watch it again, and then come back.” Lol. I love these videos!

Isn't it mentioned in the dialogue that it's been 5 years since Cobb has been with his children? And at the end of the movie, they've not aged one bit. That always stuck with me.

This is a good point actually. I didn't realize that they mentioned it's been five years. The kids would be older

If you look at the credits there are two sets of kids casted, both sets are several years apart in age. Another thing is that you never see the kids faces until the end so it’s impossible to say that they’re the same age. All you see is the back of their hair.

Although they resemble each other, the kids did age. Different actors playing his kids.

Idk if you believe in spiritual coincidences or not but only a few moments before this video i was having an emotional breakdown bc of "past regrets" and was feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Switched to this video to get my mind off of it and then you spoke abt the edith pioff song i have no regrets. Which i love how this lil piece of sentiment connects and eerie timing of it. Thankyou for these deep dive. Much of art reflects life and vice versa and i love analysis love from India ❤

I just don't get why people say they still don't understand the movie this many years later. I figured it out but was unsure than finally completely understood it by I'd say 2nd or 3rd time rewatching. Great movie amazing actors and Nolan is just genius with his direction. But let's not negate the cinematography just a gorgeous movie. And those props! The whole rotating hallway was just genius!

You are awsome, dude! I am a film lover, too. And most of the time when I watch your stuff, I'm like "yeah... yipp... ah, ah... nothing knew". Till the point you drop some awsome ideas or ways I haven't felt or even get. But more important, I love your passion and commitment to every film you are talking about. It gives me instand the joy why I am love the movie you are referenting, too. (Hope you get the Idea, english is not my mothertounge).
