narration, the art of depiction, is our greatest access to reality not only do stories gives us meanings but its the essence of life itself. Theres a particular theory of postmodernism which says that all life, reality, is a fictional construct. once we discover that cobb steals into the depths of mal and institutes the idea that “your world isnt real” the totem, from that moment on is meaningless. right away we’re told the totem is never to be touched by anyone else it loses validity. saito touches it at the beginning, then we see throughout the film cobb spinning it. like clay said, the totem is a distraction. the totem is a lie, that thing which grounds one in reality is a borrowed notion/idea from somebody else. but this brings up the whole idea, pun intended, of the film. He travels a lot and loves to return to his kids.
Mr Cobb may just live a boring life and has or have had issues with his wife. This explains why many of his friends from the dreams don’t talk to him in the airport, and why others behave strange compared to the “apparent reality” during the movie. Mr Cobb (or whatever his real name is) wakes from his dream on the plane from Sydney. Ariadne appears to be an airport staff member in LAX in reality. During his dream on the airplane, he uses the faces of airport staff and travellers to create an exciting environment. During his flight from Sydney he falls asleep. During his earlier travels and while at the airport in Sydney he notices faces (airport staff in LAX and travellers), details etc from his surroundings. This day, he enters a plane (possibly in Sydney). Mr Cobb (or whatever his real name is) is a frequent airplane traveler and quite a celebrity at the airport.
Inception we need to go deeper scene movie#
It’s a brilliant distraction, nothing more.Īs I interpret the movie, everything in the movie is a dream, UNTIL he wakes up in the aeroplane from where on he is back in reality. The totem is a false hope, and its purpose reels in the audience into believing the difference between reality and dreams just like it does Cobb. Nolan might cut away right before it does. The problem, though, is that we don’t know if the top will fall over. The only person in the entire film to actually spin it and produce a never-ending spin cycle was Saito at the end. It was never Cobb’s to begin with and we never see him spin it to where it never falls over other than when he spun it in the safe, where it could have easily toppled. He is dreaming.Īlso, in case this is mentioned, the totem isn’t a reliable source. He looks up and sees them in the same exact position as all of his projections are. I think Mal was right in assuming them to still be asleep). He stands at the table exactly as he did in “reality” (I don’t believe he was ever in reality when that happened. The way Nolan shoots it in a dream-like state from the airport all the way here. There are so many pieces of evidence that support he is dreaming here it isn’t funny. I have seen the movie four times and the clothes are the same, sorry to disappoint your memory.
