I love the movie inception. On first viewing I got lost by two moments. First what the architect Ariadne explains what they are going to do after Fischer dies. I get it now, he's gone into limbo and they go into another dream which puts them in limbo. And limbo is the world that Cobb/di Caprio and Mal created.
What I don't get is why when Saito dies he goes in his own limbo, nothing to do with di Caprio's limbo. Plus how did Fischer and Ariadne get out of limbo so easily - by killing themselves? How did they get to limbo by using inception - I thought it was where you went when you died and were too heavily sedated to wake up?
How did di Caprio go from his limbo to Saito's at the end? Is it because he drowned in the van?
And what happened in limbo so di Caprio and Saito got back out? Did they both commit suicide together, and if so they would still have been in the snow base dream, so how did they get out of that without a kick?
And then how did they all get back out the first dream - they must have got out before Fischer - but what was the kick?
The second point I missed is when Fischer's father said "disappointed". What he went on to say is that he was disappointed his son tried to be like him - I get that now.
An inconsistency I would like to question is when in dream one the van is falling, there is no gravity in dream 2. If so why is there gravity in the 3rd dream?
Another one is the train in dream 1, why do we not see any further defences like this? Or was this from di Caprio's subconscious?
I think it was a wonderful film, because the plot was so ingenius and the visuals were so impressive. I love the whole idea of inception and dreams, and the blurring of reality.
Would the totem fall at the end? I think yes because that is the same reality as when it fell before. If no then I would have to rewatch the movie to see how they/he got into another dream. Perhaps they never get out of the city with train dream?
