Them waking up feels very strongly like a dream. The first time I watched it, I didn't question it, but this time, everything from Cobb opening his eyes onward just felt...weird. Especially how Cobb speaks to no one on the team.
(I just explained the ending to my mom, and she said, "Does it matter if he's dreaming? He's got his kids." Mom. ❤ She's always very clear on what's important.)
I loved the fact that Fischer Jr. was a rich dick through the movie too. He had a handful of lines but his personality was very strong. I got the sense that he had picked up a lot of his dad's bad mentality, which almost made me feel even worse for him.
Yeah, he was excellent in the role. Considering how little time most of the characters had to establish themselves, almost all of them are still very strong. Inception is my go-to movie when arguing that strong characterization does not depend on how much you see of them but how much of an imprint they make when you do see them.
Yusuf is super hot. Like, damn. Those curls.
Ariadne is about to join Cobb in his dream. I've seen this movie many times, and each time I'm like, "Don't do it Ariadne! NOOO!"
Cobb's dream feels like a horror film. I think it's the elevator.
Or maybe it's Mal.
The train is super cool.
The Train of Destiny!
Mal is creepy as shit.
Did the set designers get any award for this? Because they should have.
It won a shit ton of stuff, but I have no idea if any of those are for set design.
They did!
The snow dream is still my least favourite part. So James Bond, so hard to follow.
Though Arthur stacking floating bodies will never not be funny to me.
Oh, I definitely agree. And I love James Bond, but I didn't like this shift.
They could have saved so much time if Ariadne had built the bombs into the levels.
Robert is damn pretty.
Now they're destroying Fischer's relationship with Browning. And Cobb's PTSD is taking no prisoners.
Anyone else find it funny that Fischer's subconscious impression of Browning's subconscious is a Bond Villain base?
If you grow gills to breathe underwater, and the dreamer's projections (and the dreamer) don't see, does it still set the projections off?

Fischer senior was a fuckhead. I mean, Fischer Jr. isn't much of a prize (beyond, like, the hot and rich part), but he had good reason with that dad.

You got the impression that he was a lonely arrogant brat, and Cillian Murphy pulled that off fantastically with very little screen time.
