Inception Thread (SPOILERS)

PrintOK, so this is the thread for people who have seen the movie "Inception". We all know it was a great movie and probably the best movie thus far in 2010.
What boggles my mind, as probably boggles everyone elses mind is the last scene.
The infamous question: Is Cobb still in a dream?
I say no because the topp appears to fall in the very last seconds of the movie, but Nolan, the genius he is, leaves us all wondering.
This is why I think it's reality: The wedding ring.
In dreams, Cobb wears a wedding ring, but in reality, he doesn't.
What do you guys think??

By the way
That was what my buddy caught. I didn’t even catch that, but he did. After watching it the second time, it was true.
My contention
has to do with the kicks and how they were able to get people from limbo. I think I have to see it again before I make any definitive statement.
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
That puzzled me too
Like, how did Cobb end up in Saito’s limbo? Or do they all share Cobb’s limbo?

I think it could be interpreted either way
but to Cobb it doesn’t matter any longer whether its a dream or not, so he doesn’t bother to wait to see if the top falls or keeps spinning. Once he is back with his kids he can now care less if it is a dream or not.
the totem
only tells if you are still in SOMEONE ELSE’S dream.
so he could have still very well be dreaming..but stuck in his own limbo.
The only answer would come if they showed Saito actually killing Cobb and himself in the end.

also...
what if Mal was right? and the whole movie was mal and cobbs loved ones trying to inception him to give up the idea that he’s stuck in reality and he killed mal?
It was a Batman prequel!
Ra’s Al Ghul hired Cobb to place an idea in the Scarecrow’s mind???
Rao was also channeling his character from
Drag Me to Hell! Or maybe that was just me thinking that…
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
The problem with that
is there are too many scenes of people doing stuff when he is not around, which doesn’t make much sense if its his dream.
I want to see it again and see how pieces fall together
after I’ve been through the storyline once…
But he leaves it open to interpretation. I wanted to believe the end was real, and it kind of felt like reality (whereas his wife had lost her own sense of reality and killed herself), but… there are clues as to how it could just be another dreamlike dimension.

Ambiguous ending
Like the Sopranos. Could go either way. I thought the movie was good not great. My biggest complaint was the plot itself (the business deal, not the dream concept). About halfway through, I remember thinking, “This is what the movie’s about?”
I did love The Dark Knight and admit I fell into the hype machine on this one. I kept expecting a knockout punch and none came. To me, the ambiguous ending was rather predictable. Very well made and decently acted. Nice music and engaging story.
I didn't think it was a good movie
It was basically a Matrix ripoff in essence. They never really expanded upon the cool alterations of the dream world (ala the city folding in half). The amount of intellectual thought concerning dreams and the mind was low. Leanardo’s character was basically the same as his character in Shutter Island haunting dead wife, unreachable kids and all. There was no real character development. Much of its style is attempting to replicate Kubrick, but to no success. The music never stopped, always there rumbling in the backround and rising at meaningless times in an attempt to unsettle the audience and build drama, artificial drama. Nolan is incapable of holding attention while in a single room or with a single conversation or event, he has to constantly cut, that is not impressive film making. Seriously it was very much a Matrix remake, a vastly inferior one.
It was a very interesting movie
Good, but not great. I thought there were holes in the plot, such as if DiCaprio’s character brought his own projections into other people’s dreams, why didn’t the others bring any of their own. But any movie that can generate these kinds of discussions is definitely good; just not necessarily great.
I thought they just chose not to bring in their projections into other people's dreams
But it could be done. As I remember, Fischer Jr brought in his own projection of Browning in Arthur’s dream (the hotel scene).
Also, Cobb couldn’t help but to bring in Mal. He was trying to block her out, but couldn’t.
I don't see why the audience would care about ANY of the characters, there was not any development.
Why did Ellen Page’s character give a shit about Leanardo being trapped in limbo, there was no reason. No reason for my to care either. It was a Pretentious action movie, nothing more.
Pretentious? Absolutely. But it was still a great film.
I'm nobody's fool, least of all yours

Entertaining film, sure. But not much below the surface to warrant a second viewing.
Unless one wants another crack at solving the puzzle.
