So as the totem spins and wobbles in the last shot of the movie, you're being asked
1.) Is Cobb Awake or is he dreaming?
2.) Was Cobb *ever* awake? Did dreaming even have anything to do with the movie (insomniacs will fantasize about sleep after all)
3.) Are the viewers simply part of the film's scenario as being subjected to the "whole picture"? Think of it this way...

What I'm interested in... was anyone here moved by the story of Cobb and his wife? A lot of people on other internet boards apparently got a really strong emotional reaction to the film's love plot while it struck me as exactly as pale and ankle deep as the one in the Matrix sequels.
Anyone start wondering if the whole thing isn't just a sloppy "turtles all the way down" explaination? I've only seen the movie once so maybe I missed something critical but when you build a movie based on "Is this a dream or isnt it" and then remove the narrative structure that the question sits on - doesn't that become an utterly meaningless exercise?
Again, I'm just throwing that out there. I'm not sure if it holds much water but I still get the feeling that theres something to it.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
