Also now that I've thought about it, it's plausible that the parts of the movie we assume as reality might not be. The totem is kind of red-herring if it's Cobb's own dream. He knows how it's supposed to work.

Great article, first of all. I really like this theory and I'm almost half convinced by it. When a theory becomes ultra meta like that it becomes really hard to prove anything. All clues point to yes, but it's still a bunch of clues. I like that.

Either way, I really appreciate the open ending now. A person can leave having seen a great action flick or a super meta alegory, or anything in between. A good movie needs to catch a wide audience, right? So when you catch people who love action and those who love deeper meanings I think you've done something interesting.

Unfortunately you always end up with a group of people that feel like it's self indulgent or trite. Too bad for them. After a second viewing, A fucking +.

I appreciated them cutting that explanation. The movie was long enough and a half-baked reasoning behind what you're talking about would have been dangerous. Suspension of disbelief only goes so far and it would have, perhaps, taken the viewer out of it.

Just know that it works, that's all. Plus the lack of explanation does lend a tremendous hand to the previously mentioned meta-theory.

In other news, I'm going to go see this movie for the THIRD TIME this week, tonight.
