I completely lost track of time in the theater, ironically enough.

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.

The funniest thing. I still kind of want that it WOULDN'T have been a

What this tells about me in the light of Devo's linked article I'll leave undisclosed.

Oh, and I wouldn't even DREAM about comparing this movie to Shutter Island in any way. Nothing else really in common than arbitrary details, and DiCaprio on-screen.

Additionally, Fuck Zimmer.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Lehah, read the article by Faraci. There's not much to interpret in the ending, even if someone (like I) still would like to. The top is irrelevant to everything, because it was given to him by the wife, completely unlike how the totems were supposed to work. The casual viewers (read: the likes of Lost fans) would like to find meaning in everything in this movie [, but the details don't really matter (like you can't remember faces of people, just feelings you have about them) in a dream]. I guess the casual viewers might also draw silly comparisons to other "similar" movies like Shutter Island or The Matrix.

Well, there is one connection to The Matrix. The endless, exhaustive exposition by Morpheus/Cobb in the beginning (the whole first Matrix, actually) to set the tables straight. Not really that necessary...

I didn't really feel the love between Mal and Cobb. It was left pale on purpose.

How ya doing, buddy?
