All I know about dreams is, every time I'm about to take off Natalie Portman's underwear, I wake up.
Fucking brain. -

Realising you're in a dream is great, you become master of your reality...Although usually when I realise it I have to check by opening my eyes...

hahaha, that happens to me, every time I realize I am dreaming, I wake up just to check, then go back to sleep, somethimes the dream is still there and I hope right back in, somethimes its gone, and I am all annoyed and have to find a new one.
most of the times it is more of a "thank god it was just a dream" feeling when realising it.
What I really hate, if you realize you are dreaming and therefore have no fear of nothing that is happening, and you flow into the right direction for a perfect ending, when short ebfore the end everything goes wrong. I then have to rewind the ending to the last part of the dream I liked to redream it, but the worst of all that is, when after the 4th attempt I still reach the same shitty ending and the alarm clock goes off.
that is acctually trhe explaination for wanted dreaimg, you are deep in a dream, the alarm clock goes off and you realize it was just a dream, now while snoozing you go back into the dream but with the knowlede of it being a dream, now you are superior to anything in the dream while before you somehow where on the short side of the stick. -

Registered 17 years agoI finally got around to watching this yesterday, then last night I had a dream that I was "extracting" from a dream (there was a safe and everything) - then I woke up within another dream and described that to someone, dreamed some more (had a cheque for a million quid from the police for some reason, which I was able to read fyi), and now I'm actually awake. I think. Fucking film. -

Registered 15 years agoJust finished watching it. Really a pretty good film, but (as with many others) I can't see the whole 'you really have to concentrate to understand what's going on' thing. The concept itself means that there're a fair few layers to the plot, but it's all mapped-out nice and clearly in the dialogue and lingering cut-aways, even if you don't guess what's going on in advance.
I'm thinking those people who couldn't grasp the storyline weren't sad, solitary misanthropes like myself and must have been distracted for a good half an hour (or, y'know, 50 years) by their significant other, missed all of the key twists and assumed it was a film about narcolepsy. -

Registered 18 years agoI watched this again, but something is now confusing me.
Regarding the end, How did Cobb and Saito get out ? It just seemed to skip that and go straight back the plane. Yusuf said you can't get out the convenient way of just killing yourself and waking up as his special mixture to allow them to go deeper prevents that. They didn't jump back up through the layers either. The only thing I can think of was, Yusuf changed the dose once he got out which made it possible to do it the simply way as -
Dunno!
How did Cobb find Saito anyway. Wasn't Saito in his own, personal, Limbo after dying in the third dream-within-a-dream (the snowy mountain fortress)? If Cobb was in his own personal Limbo when Juno jumped off the buiding, then how did he arrive at Saitos Limbo? -

Who says they got out?
Da-dun-du-dun-du-dun-du-dun!
Though seriously I saw it that they would all just wake up at the same time, just needing kicks to go back up a level...The only danger was if they died before the preset time was up...Meaning Saito burned his brain quite a bit and Cobb pulls all that stuff just at the very end where he would be waking up anyway...What has me wondering is the scene at the very beginning with Saito mentioning "someone remembered from a half-forgotten dream"...Thing is at the end of the movie Cobb says that line instead... -

Registered 18 years agoI'm going to have to watch it again, still love it. It was fine until that point then I started thinking about it instead of the going home to his family and the spinning totem end. I'll watch it again and no doubt something else will stand out. -

Registered 15 years agoI really liked Inception and found Shutter Island not all that good...
Though Leo was quite good in it, many things just don't make sense your way of treating a mentally ill person is to put him on the edge of a cliff and run away? -

Anyone else think Shutter Island was better than Inception?
HAHAHAHA Nah.
Shutter Island was a good film, but it was too slow. -
To get out of Limbo you have to realise you're dreaming. They did that, mutually. -

Don't think so...Why would Leo have had to crush his head under a train to get out before?
No, they woke up simply because their time was up...Saito just experienced it as some extra years...

spoilered just in case...
they specifically say limbo is shared in the movie iirc, its just constructed by whoever falls into it, rather than a specific 'dreamer'. therefore anyone who is in limbo can construct what they want in there, which is why cobb and his missus were able to make so much together
and they wake up by shooting themselves in the head, by that point, yusuf's sedative has worn off (which is why saito is an old man, because that time had passed) which is why killing themselves works again.

Registered 12 years agoTo me, the ending was good - it had the girlfriend and I laugh out-loud as the spinner starts to teeter, and then the cut to black! But, in hindsight, from what we've learnt of the film, it can't be a dream. The scene with his wife shows that he's not willing to accept a shadow of his wife, a construct without all her foibles, without all the facets that make her her, so why would he accept shadows of his children without question? -

few things to remember -
1) the total dream time in real life was about 10 hours (the length of the flight)
2) they had spent most of the time in lvl 1 of the dream (comparatively) as they only go down to the next level when they get in the van
3) saito's age suggests a few decades had passed in limbo, as he was old enough to have memory problems
earlier in the film, 5 min irl = an hour in level one dream. If we keep that ratio - 10 hours IRL = 120 hours dream level 1 = 1440 hours level 2 = 17280 level 3 = 207360 hours in limbo (or 23 years).
Yusuf's sedative is strong, so we can assume this ratio is streched. We also know his sedative doesnt last longer than 10 hours in real life (as they all wake up at the end of the flight)
so its not millions of years, its a few decades -
Actually, Yusuf specifically says at one point that going into Limbo while under sedation could last "an eternity" and he looks pretty spooked. So Limbo doesn't work out in terms of the maths.
We don't know how long the passage of time is between Ariadne leaving and Cobb finding Saito - but IMO it is meant to be a very, very long time given the fact that even Cobb is hazy on why he is there.
