First off the show was freakin brilliant but not nearly as confusing as most people were saying it was going to be.
The only question I'm left with, and I put to you who have seen the film is:
Or perhaps this is all some psychological sign of my dreary outlook on life.
The only question I'm left with, and I put to you who have seen the film is:
At the end of the film, when Cobb spins his totem top, it doesn't stop spinning before the film cuts to black. This would tend to imply that he was dreaming when he finally made it home. Maybe Nolan left it somewhat ambiguous so you can decide if it's a happy ending or a dream.
But if it's a dream how do we know the whole movie wasn't a dream. After all it was sort of bookended with him tracking down Saito in limbo. The entire series of events could have been created in Cobb's dreaming when he was stuck in limbo with Mal.
After all, it was stated that being as heavily sedated as they were and on such a deep level of dreaming, if they were killed they wouldn't wake up in "the real world" they would end up in limbo. So how do we know their is really any way out of limbo at all. Perhaps dying in limbo simply pushes you deeper into limbo.
