Mal’s totem is the only totem the audience sees in action. That makes it our totem. The deepest metaphor is that the audience is asleep to the subconscious manipulation of our society through the passive and suggestive state our minds are in while being entertained.
@TheNarwhalGal3 жыл бұрын
that makes a lot of sense actually. Because then, the wedding ring becomes Cobbs, the spinning top in Mal's subconscious becomes our constant thinking of the movie not being real. And the final spinning top isn't for Cobb anymore, it's for us, and the second it falls the movie is ruined and we wake up.

It make sense because 5mins in reality is about hour in a dream... in a dream..., 5 mins is 60mins in a second dream..., and 5mins in a second dream would be 60mins in a third dream. So it would make sense that he gets off the plane, his dad comes pick him up..., he goes home and see his kids.

To answer your question of whether we think Cobb is still dreaming, I think you summed it up pretty nicely. The question we should ask ourselves is not whether we think Cobb is still dreaming but is "Does it matter if Cobb is dreaming or not?" All Cobb really wants, is to be able to live and grow with his kids. If we are truly able to choose our own reality, then the ending symbolizes that regardless of whether Cobb is dreaming or not, he has chosen the reality that includes life with his kids and father.

At 23:34 when you mention that 528491 was a merely random number to drive the narrative forward, on the contrary, Christopher Nolan knows it's significance. This is one of the big secrets Hans Zimmer/Nolan 'hid' on the soundtrack as they even has it as a title as a song on the soundtrack. “528” and “491” have numerological meaning. “528” is the harmonic (Sacred Solfeggio) frequency for the note “mi”. The harmonic scales were developed in monasteries - “mi” is for miracles. 491 is a reference to the "unforgiveable" sin. (The Lord would forgive you 7 times 70 times.) (Matthew 18: 21-22) “21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.” Cobb descends into Limbo because of his guilt over the “unforgiveable sin” and he/Fisher rises up through forgiveness due to the “miracle”.

If I remember correctly, one of the rules of the dream totem is that you can never let someone else touch it -- which we learn in the scene when Ariadne is creating hers (a chess piece). Therefore, when Dom adopts Mal's totem the top's behavior is (presumably) no longer a reliable indicator since it's not his -- it's hers. Mal's real totem is the presence (or absence) of his wedding ring -- though maybe he's not fully aware of this -- and there are a lot of shots in the movie where it's not clear whether he is or is not wearing it. Still a nice walkthrough of a movie with a huge amount of depth.

Actually they did age. Because in the credits they got different child actors 2 years older for the last scene. Also he always has on a wedding ring in the dream world, he didn't have one on in the final scene. He also remembers how he got home, he didn't just apears there. If you can't remember how you arrived somewhere then its a dream. But he remembers taking a plane back, and then arriving.

Investment Guru what if the entire movie was a dream though. We never see him get from point A to point B. They jump from location to location like the movie jumper until it needs to drive the plot forward and provide hidden exposition like the plane or car chases. How did he get to Mumbai, or to see his father. So do we ever really know how he gets places. And also, wasn’t the plane suppose to land somewhere else, because saito didn’t arrange for him to see his kids until after the job. So how did he end up back on in the us with everybody standing around with his dad waiting for him to take him back to see his kids on a beautiful sunny day playing outside in the same spot and condition as his dreams. It just all seems a little too convenient. It’s ALL a little too convenient

He just stayed in that reality and accepted it.

Dominic Cobb eventually returned to reality because; 1. Michael Caine's scenes only take place in reality as per Christopher Nolan's assured guidance to him. 2. At exactly 2:27:55 in the movie's runtime, as the title "Inception" is displayed for the third time in the end credits, you can faintly hear the totem spin to a stop in the background behind Hans Zimmer's bass score. The top coming to a stop confirms the reality Cobb is in

Great finds! A couple of things: * The buildings collapsing in limbo were full size recreations of the sand buildings that Cobb and wife built on the beach and partly destroyed. * The idea that you are suspending logic while watching a movie has been around for a long time - described as "suspension of disbelief" 200 years ago and referenced by Aristotle when describing the principles of theater. His idea was that, when watching a play, you must accept that you are no longer in a theater, but are actually watching a scene in a house, a meadow or a castle. I learned about this concept when taking playwright classes in college back in 1969. Nolan may have had the same kind of education.

the reason why the intro is there is that saito and cobb were in a shared dream in the chronological start of the film. When Saito and Cobb fall into limbo, Saito recreates that very same room because it was something he vaguely remembered from long long ago. That room made Saito and Cobb remember that they are in an arrangement and that they need to "come back" to reality.

Masterfully picked apart a truly amazing movie. My take of the ending is that Cobb learned that life is literally a dream, where your imagined potentials become your future. He keeps finding more and more of his dreams in reality, to the point that it doesn't matter anymore if either his dreams created his reality, or his dreams are his reality. Reflect on yourself as the viewer, don't we all feel like dreams became more of a power in our lives after viewing this movie? That's why I put this on my top ten, it's so deep and enjoyable to mull over.

I agree that Nolan is sub-narratively saying that Cob is now in the real world (for the same reasons the video mentions): 1) The top wobbles, whereas the top in Mal's safe shows no sign of spinning out. 2) The absence of the wedding ring. 3) The appearance of his father in law. This is definitely Nolan's intended effect here, but because he did such an amazing job of building the rules of Inception, he has actually written a movie whose ending CANNOT be solved, even with these previous clues. For example: 1) The top wobbling could simply be Cob's subconscious doubting whether or not this is really a dream, as each time the top wobbles (representing Cob's desire to believe that this is real), it snaps back to an upright position (representing his inner fear that this world is a dream). All in all, the top could just be a dream-element that moves with his subconscious just as we see the other dream environments parallel the dreamer's subconscious in the heist. 2) Though the catch of the wedding ring being Cob's true totem is a keen take by NewRockstars, this doesn't necessarily mean that this is the REAL world. It simply means that it is A world, which keeps its continuity through the absence of Cob's ring, because Mal killed herself in this world. This could just be another layer of the dream that Mal had the foresight to ascend from when Cob didn't. 3) The appearance of Cob's father-in-law as another sort of totem isn't an established fact within the movie but is rather a personal preference of meaning taken by Nolan and some of the cast. It does not create a rock-solid piece of evidence for the the real-ness of the world. I'm not saying that these definitely mean that the whole movie was itself a dream. The original clues spotted by NewRockstars have that touch of Nolan-esque mystery to them that he purposefully plants in his movies for the dedicated (nerdy) moviegoer. To Nolan, these were meant to establish that Cob is truly in the real world, but because Nolan went to such great lengths to establish the movie's rules, he has seemingly written himself into a corner with this ending. Inception truly cannot be solved. Not even by it's creator.
