So a couple of questions to those who might know. (SPOILERS)




1. Why was it bad for Dom to keep Mol in the memories alive? Was it because the memories kept escaping and screwing up other dreams he was in?

2. At the end is one to assume that if it was real that Sato shot himself and that killing yourself is the only way to get out of limbo because you make a concious decision so your mind is in charge?

 

1. because he might confuse dreams with reality

2. i dont understand your question haha

 

answer my questions first

 

I would hypothesize that "Falling" is not what wakes you up.

LANDING -- or at least the inevitability of landing -- is what wakes you up.
You can dream about falling, but you WAKE right before you hit.

So they would "kick" as the van hit the water -- and their bodies (and subconscious?) knew the fall was over.

Eh?

 

It's just like the scene where they first explain kicks by pushing people's chairs backwards / the scene where Cobb falls into the bath. The near plummet doesn't provide enough of a kick, it does however distort gravity.

 

^ no, according to the movie it is the sensation of falling that does it, not the imminent landing. however i believe they don't wake up from the van because they are in deeper dreamstates. i think the "kick" only works for the next level, which is why they had to "ride the kicks" from the deepest level to the van level.

that was at least one of the reasons (bad for other people). he doesn't stay in limbo because his memory of her is only a shell of the real thing and thus finally lets go.

not sure on this one...this was the part i was most unclear on. think it would've been fine for cobb to kill him too? plus i think it was stated that it was only theoretical that your mind would be lost in limbo if you died in the dream under sedation. who knows, maybe when the sedatives wore off he would've woken up fine anyway.

 

What a great movie! I've enjoyed watching it and the whole concept was amazing. By the way, in the beginning Arthur looked to me as a simple helper to Cobb, but in the end he turned up to be the best action hero character!

Well, actually even if they wear or not the same clothes they look exactly as the kids he sees in his dream in different locations.

Actually, what is really worth adding at the airport scene is that Robert Fischer looked at Cobb as if they were knew each other. Of course they did, through the dream. Either as Cobb been grateful that Robert Fischer was his ticket to home, or the other way around perhaps? I mean Robert Fischer been grateful that Cobb protected him from "stealing" information from the dream.

[QUOTE=S2Koupe,Jul 21 2010, 10:33 PM]the most consistent explanation of the "its all a dream" theory.

 

And for the actually meaning on how the movie ended by Sir Michael Caine

This is easier explained by their interaction on the plane. Remember he 'found' his passport, and also did a toast to his departed father.

Yo dog, I heard you like to dream, so I put dreams in your dreams so you can dream while you dream.
