About halfway through the movie, I got up to go to the bathroom and fell down the last few steps (the stairs weren't lit and I have trouble seeing in the dark). While I sat there rocking in pain, I missed a nice chunk of it so I got a little lost in the plot. That incident certainly brought me out of my dream state. Anyhow, I think you clarified a few things for me. Good analysis. I'll have to see it again sometime.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321805301687762360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970084131876108975.post-79762096984723817332010-08-05T14:35:51.313-07:002010-08-05T14:35:51.313-07:00I can't say that Cobb has been dreaming the wh...I can't say that Cobb has been dreaming the whole time, but I can say it's not relevant. Our dreams take things from our real lives and change them. So parts of the story can be "real" within the context of the story, but the Inception is always in control of how Cobb processes what's going on, always working on him to make him think the dream world is the real world. And the movie is built so you see things through that filter, from his point of view.<br /><br />Anyway, you're right to notice that there are several times in the movie that Cobb thinks he's in the real world, but things are too perfect for that to make sense, like him being able to pick up with the children exactly where he left off. That only happens in dreams...or movies.Shevihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16480925383813139997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970084131876108975.post-67115711169961079142010-08-05T14:06:59.319-07:002010-08-05T14:06:59.319-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Shevihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16480925383813139997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970084131876108975.post-5569005934996955762010-08-05T11:34:18.431-07:002010-08-05T11:34:18.431-07:00This is brilliant, Shevi.

I totally agree that Cobb has been dreaming the whole time, though my husband disagrees. I thought the children being in the same position at the end of the movie was a giveaway, though I've read they were played by older children than the ones in Cobb's "dream". One scene that struck me was when Mal (which means bad, interestingly) challenged him to continue to watch his kids as they played. He turned his head away, as if he was afraid they would turn around to look at him, and I found it interesting that he didn't seem to want them to. <br />I HAVE to see this film again sometime to try to put it all together.<br /><br />On a lighter note, my husband called Inception a combination of The Matrix, Ocean's Eleven and a Hallmark Movie.Diane Dawson Hearnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230481088873517242noreply@blogger.com
