2024-10-28 04:22:21 +0000 UTCIs there back story I’m missing here on why they’re so triggering?

2024-06-07 13:09:22 +0000 UTCGreat reaction! According to Michael Caine, any scene that he is in takes place in reality. IIRC, Cobb’s children are also dressed differently in the last scene compaired to all the other scenes, hinting that Cobb is no longer dreaming. I also believe Nolan has said that his intention is that it is real, but that it doesn’t actually matter and that either interpretation is valid. Pete Postlethwaite who plays Fischer Sr was dying of cancer when the movie was being produced. Rumor has it that he told this to Cillian Murphy during their scene at the end, and also revealed that he had reached the terminal stage, which in turn made Murphy cry (and Nolan used those shots of Murphy in the film). One really cool thing is that the heist crew is an analogy to a film crew. Cobb is the director, Eames is the actor, Ariadne is the production designer, Saito the studio, Arthur the producer, Yusuf the SFX engineer, and Fischer the audience surrogate.

2024-05-24 22:16:38 +0000 UTCThe more i watch the film, the more i realize Mal was actually correct, and Cobb got too accustomed to the dream and forgot he was dreaming. He's been stuck in his own dream.

2024-05-19 10:03:20 +0000 UTCYeah Star Wars is Space Fantasy/Space Opera. Its technically scifi as well but it better fits those labels. Its not very focused or concerned with scientific concepts or elements.

2024-05-19 02:15:35 +0000 UTCAwesome movie, awesome reaction! Yeah Spartan it's definitely science fiction though. The genre has more to do with exploring science concepts (in this case the psychology of dreams) than with space. In fact I'd say even Star Wars is more fantasy than scifi even though it's set in space.

2024-05-18 15:00:25 +0000 UTCI adore this flick, and this is the best reaction to it that I have ever experienced. Thanks to you both.

2024-05-17 21:15:05 +0000 UTCThis really is a mindblowing movie, there are a couple moments that pulls the carpet under your feet. Like when says you never remember how a dream starts. That was a sobering moment for me, and it just shows how good the writing actually is. I was instantly onboard with the whole thing lol. Some of those scenes are absolutely amazing, like the train scene which I thought was just good CGI and it turns out they've really sent that train down the street in downtown LA. Or the hallway fight scene, another set that they've built thats why it looks so good. Amazing movie, relly makes you question a few things when you watch it. Gotta say guys this might just be your most entertaining reaction to date. Really funny conversation at the end, I actually enjoyed it more than the actual reaction. A couple really sweet moment between you two. Really fun stuff.

2024-05-17 15:59:56 +0000 UTCThank you. I was gonna set out to write some of this down but now I dont have to. :) Really solid explanation and all valid points. The last one is new, never thought of that even though I've seen this movie about 6 times at this point. Thats a pretty cool theory I have to say it got me thinking. :)

2024-05-17 15:51:07 +0000 UTCIs there a full length version for this?

2024-05-17 14:51:43 +0000 UTCNot my favorite Nolan movie, but definitely a classic! Especially because the main character was obviously named after me.😉

2024-05-17 13:12:27 +0000 UTCGuys I think you might’ve underestimated the happy ending lol. There’s some things you might’ve missed that actually suggest that Cobb is still in a dream at the end. The top is red herring throughout the entire movie, it is not a reliable totem for multiple reasons: 1. We are told that totems need to have a unique feature that is only known to the owner. for this reason you can’t share your totem with others, however we learn that the top was originally Mal’s totem before it became Cobb’s. This is explained by Arthur to Adrienne and he also tells her that its characteristic is that in dreams it never topples. This means that at least three people know how cobb’s totem works (Mal, Arthur and Adrienne) meaning he could be in any one of their dreams and not know it. In the beginning scene we also see Saito say to Cobb while holding the top that it belonged to a mane he once knew (referring to Cobb) which means that saito may have also known how cobbs totem functioned. 2. the top is inherently flawed as a totem because it functions backwards. Everyone else’s totems have a unique feature in the real world (weighted dice, weighted chess price, misspelled poker chip) which no one else would be aware of in the dream world so the totem would behave normally in a dream. However cobb’s “totem” behaved normally in the real world (topples) and uniquely in the dream (keeps spinning) which makes it useless because anyone who dreams of a top will dream that it topples over since that is its inherent characteristic, which means Cobb could be in ANYONE’s dream and not know it. To clarify, for the top to have been a valid totem it would have had to have been fabricated to spin infinitely in the real world and topple over in the dream world for it to be a true tell to the owner. 3. For the previous reasons, the top may not be Cobb’s real totem at all and he may have another totem which he does not reveal to the audience. We know he had to have had a different totem before he lost Mal at least. It seems unlikely that such a dream expert would make such careless mistakes with his totem especially knowing first hand how critical the totem is. All of this therefore tells us the top is not a reliable predictor of reality so the ending scene showing the top is a distraction, the real takeaway from that scene is that Cobb relinquished the totem and does not wait to see how it behaves meaning he has accepted this “reality” as true, weather it is a dream or not. The hidden clues in the scene that suggest he is still in a dream are much more subtle. 1. When he sees his children throughout the movie whether in his dreams or in his memories, it is always the same scene of them playing with their backs turned. The children he sees at the end of the movie are in exactly the same positions, doing the same activity, and wearing the exact same clothing except for a minor added detail. They also appear to be the exact same age. However, when we have the phone call of Cobb talking to his children early on in the movie he says he can’t recognize their voices anymore suggesting it’s been a while since he left them. This means they should’ve aged somewhat by the time they are reunited but instead they appear the exact same as they always have in his mind which suggests they’re not real. 2. Saito in the movie repeatedly references “a house on a cliff” throughout the movie. thats also where Cobb finds him in limbo. when Cobb’s children are asked what they’re building in the final scene they say “a house on a cliff”. These suggest that Cobb is still in a dream. This is also why it feels like everyone got a happy ending. There is also the possibility that Cobb has been in a dream the whole time and he was actually the one who got stuck in limbo and lost sight of reality, not Mel, and that’s why his totem actually works backwards because his concept of reality is backwards. In this theory Mal was the sane one who made it out and cobb inceptioned himself to believe in his fake reality. This one is a little more far fetched but still has some merit I think. Anyways great movie and there’s so many other possible theories and questions that arise.It is always up for interpretation

2024-05-17 05:25:10 +0000 UTCthat last top scene was such a debate when this movie first came out lol really split the audience between the optimists and the pessimists

2024-05-17 04:49:26 +0000 UTCKeep the Nolan train going. The Prestige is one of the best

2024-05-17 04:30:42 +0000 UTCI felt so bad I thought Pudgey was going to have a panic attack. I always forget about that first level of the dream, otherwise I would have said something like "warning. car crashes."

2024-05-17 04:15:12 +0000 UTCLmao you definitely need to watch more sci-fi if you think it only involves space. Great reaction guys :)

2024-05-17 01:52:00 +0000 UTCInception and Interstellar; you’ve officially been baptized into the Nolan fandom. Hopefully you get to watch some more down the road; while Oppenheimer, Momento, and Tenet are enjoyable films; the one I hope to see you react to at some point is The Prestige. It hits the same story, plot twists, emotions, acting marks as these two.

2024-05-17 01:32:32 +0000 UTCMy Favorite Nolan movie. The script, the music, the theories, 528491 the safe code was used all throughout the movie, the wardrobe, the cinematography, was Cobb dreaming? His wedding ring? Just a fantastic mind-bender

2024-05-17 01:21:50 +0000 UTCWould you consider adding saw to your movie polls. I recently went down the rabbit hole and there super underrated and interesting

2024-05-17 00:43:55 +0000 UTCI think the important thing about the ending is that yes we as the audience don't know whether its real, but neither does Cobb, and he doesn't care. He walks away almost immediately and doesn't look back. It ties in to what Mal was saying "you don't believe in just one reality anymore." The dream where they grew old together was a reality for him, and there's no difference between what's technically a dream and technically a reality. This is the reality where he gets to see his kids faces, so this is the reality he chooses to live in, dream or not.
