A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
New Inception theory to throw into the mix of possibilities: The entire movie is actually Mal countering Cobb's attempt to get her to wake up out of Limbo, tricking him into believing that they did wake up and she committed suicide because of it. In the end, Mal wins, and they stay in Limbo.
That possibility occurred to me while discussing it with a friend. I did not get out to see it again yesterday, but maybe today. I really need to see this movie again, to see which theories stand up.
Sean, for a little while toward the end, I wondered if Mal was right, and Cobb was the one who was deluded, and the whole thing was her dream, and she was the one trying to plant a new idea in his mind.
I love that the possibilities are almost endless, and the structure lets you play with so many different theories. What I want now, though, is another movie like this, that gets everyone you know talking.
The movie incepts everybody who watches it.
I have a feeling that all the main theories will hold up, because there will be things that hint that any given theory is true, and nothing that flatly contradicts any one theory.

I can't wait until the DVD comes out. I want to watch this with commentary.
S. read another theory the other day about Cobb's wedding ring, that it was on in dreams and not in reality.
I have no clue -- I remember seeing it very specifically at certain points, but I wasn't thinking about it that way at the time.
HInt: he's bringing BooBooBack
This is making me laugh and laugh and laugh!
I am assuming it is Justin Timberlake.
Amy, I've seen that too, but I need to pay attention next time, since that supports my reading. Which is the simple one that takes things at face value. There, there, brain, don't tax yourself too much. Whew.

I know! It's awesome.

Well, it's hard to flatly contradict a theory that supposes the entire movie is a dream because then it doesn't really have to adhere to any rules. I do like the idea that the movie is Mal's dream, not Cobb's. Oooh. Frickin' Mal! I love that there are so many different interpretations, and they're all cool, and they could all hold up.
Man, the BooBooBack has morphed itself into my brain as a new song parody.
I want to watch this with commentary.
From Nolan? Or just in general? I'd love to hear Nolan's thoughts but he seems reluctant to do commentaries.
In general. It's a movie that generates good discussions, so I think almost anyone involved in its production would have some interesting things to say.
