    Porn
    Nobody lookin out for nobody
    Maybe we should try and help somebody or be somebody
    Instead of being somebody that makes the news
    So everybody can tweet about it
    And then they start to R.I.P. about it
    And four weeks later nobody even speaks about it.

    I like how in the opening sequence nobody in the other busses think twice about how a bus just drove out of a building in front of them to get in the same line.

    What I'm watching is similar. It has an opening sequence that has a bus in it. The girls think twice before getting on said bus, and the bus drives around for roughly 30-40 minutes.

    I like how that no matter how good a movie is you can find obvious holes in the plot.

    Netflix's new series The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. It's fucking absurd as hell, but amazing. And there are at least two 1994 Expos references.

    I watched Inception for the first two times, and I still don't get how Leo and Ken Watanabe woke up in time when the others barely beat the clock themselves and Leo didn't find Ken in Limbo until Ken became a very old man.

    I am not sure what you mean by "woke up in time".

    Saito is much older than Cobb because Saito died during the "snow level" of the dream, Cobb didn't die until he drowned in the van sequence. While it seems instantaneous to the viewer, Saito had been in limbo many decades before Cobb enters. To leave limbo you have to die there, they wake up on the plane (reality) with everyone else when they killed themselves with the gun on the table.

    I always thought Cobb remained in Limbo rather than having been kicked back up to the van where he drowned and then went back to Limbo, but I guess that explains how he washed up ashore near Saito's house and how Saito was much older even though Cobb and Ariadne entered Limbo before Saito died during the snow level.

    I believe when Cobb and Ariadne go to sleep they just enter another level of dream sequence which is Cobb's when they go to the world that he and Mal built to slow down Fisher's dying to try to keep him alive. I didn't think it was Limbo because you have to die to get there, Cobb and Ariadne just hook up and go to sleep. Also, they are very aware of why they are there, to save Fisher and about the "kick". In Limbo you forget, that's why Saito and Cobb are concentrating so hard to remember why they are there and what they have to do to get back.



    While they are in the collapsing sequence, Saito dies in the snow level. I first thought that Cobb got to Limbo either by dying of the stabbing by Mal or in the crumbling building after Ariadne and Fisher fall for the "kick" to get back to the snow level. Then it seemed like that wasn't long enough to make the huge difference in Saito and Cobb's ages. Though Cobb looks a worn, blood shot and haggard and aged maybe a little, Saito looks like he's about 90.

    Another thing that makes me think he dies in the van is that Arthur tries to free him, no one even attempts to get Saito out. That seemed to me that Cobb is dying or has just died and Arthur leaves him. While Saito has been dead and in Limbo so no point in bothering. I believe there is even one more scene after the others have made it to shore where Cobb is shown again in the sinking van, Arthur says "he'll be lost", Ari says"he'll be alright" and immediately he's lying on shore in Limbo. I could be wrong about the van and it could be the first scenario.



    Now, I have seen other people's opinions that the "architect" is actually Miles, Cobb's father in-law and that the entire thing is of his construction in order to bring Cobb back to reality to be with his children. I have seen some sites refer to Miles as Cobb's father but Miles is his last name. However, Cobb being depicted with his wedding ring in "dreams" and without in "reality" was supposed to be significant. In the final scene when he spins the top the ring is gone. I also saw an interview with Michael Caine where he stated "the only thing I can tell you is that when you see me, it isn't a dream". However, the end scene cuts before the top stops spinning, but Cobb walked away from it before seeing whether it stops, indicating that perhaps it is just a "new reality" that Cobb is living with his children without distractions and chaos from memories of Mal. Kind of the idea that your perception is your reality.


    I have also seen some that believe Ariadne is Cobb and Mal's daughter because her name is made up of letters from "Dominick" and "Mallorie" and that she is trying to bring her father back. She is introduced to him by Miles and she is an "architect" like Cobb was until he became unstable, only she's supposed to be better. Though that doesn't really explain the children at the end or why isn't the son all grown up and helping her?

    Some people claim the children don't age, it is very subtle but the children do in fact age a couple of years between the "dreams" and at the very end, it is more noticeable in the girl. Then in the credits they are played by three siblings and another child, Phillipa is listed as 3 and then 5, James is 20 months and then 3.



    Fantastic movie though in my opinion and it's fun to debate. It takes multiple viewings to really piece things together and paying close attention to the dialogue. The editing with the back and forth scenes is probably designed to keep it somewhat ambiguous, keep people guessing and maybe even forming their own ideas as to how exactly it all plays out.

    I'm not sure what to believe anymore. The argument for limbo is that they constructed just 3 levels for the mission which was why Cobb thought they were fucked after Fischer got shot on level 3 before Ariadne talked Cobb into entering the world that he and Mal built, which describes the limbo world (the only things there are what the previous inhabitants built). On the other hand, if Fischer was able to be resuscitated on level 3, then that meant he wasn't shot dead, so if he wasn't actually dead then he didn't enter limbo but level 4 instead.
