how did you manage to miss this movie when it was playing in theatre bro? i watched it twice at I-MAX....this is one of those rare movies that you will enjoy more when you watch it for the second time...don't try to delve too much into what exactly happened in the movie bro...trust me...this movie played in my mind for a good week after i first watched it....i have also read dozens of blogs on the movie....the conclusion i've reached is that it is not possible to be 100% sure about what transpired in the movie based on the information that is provided...that's the beauty of Nolan's script...some hardcore critics have said that Nolan's script is too manipulative...i'm a big fan of Nolan though...he surely is the modern-day Stanley Kubrick...some explanations of the movie include: it's a dream right from the first scene; the inception is actually being performed on Dicarprio by Wantanabe (remember the repeated dialogue: take a leap of faith or die as an old man filled with regret); after Dicarprio tries the sedative in Mombassa all that happens in the movie is a dream etc etc....Herealone bro's interpretation is merely one of the many....the funny thing is that none of the interpretation has any conclusive evidence...each interpretation has counter-evidences....that's why this movie is such a masterpiece for me.
let me confuse u further....did u solve the mystery of the wedding ring? did u even notice it? there r some scenes in which dicarprio is wearing a wedding ring and in others he is not....I and thousands of inception fans that have blogged about the movie feel that this is the most important clue that Nolan has left for the audience...perhaps the ones in which he is wearing the wedding ring r dreams bcoz remember in his dreams he is still married to Mal....following this logic, the end is reality....in the climax, when Cobb spins the totem, he does not have the wedding ring.....but like i said, we can't be 100% sure mainly because of the complex exposition used in the movie....another thing... we r not even sure if we should rely on the totem...Cobb stole it from Mal and remember, one should not let another person even touch the totem as explained in the exposition. In an interview, Nolan was asked by the interviewer whether inception has 1 definite plot or is it just meant to confuse viewers...Nolan's reply was that there is an answer to what exactly happened...he added that it is impossible to design ambuigity if the writer is not clear about what exactly happens.....he refused to reveal what he exactly had in mind though....after watching this interview, I understood that the movie is meant to stretch our minds but it is pointless to delve too much into uncovering the movie.....we might finally find out what Nolan's original interpretation was when he writes his autobiography....there's plenty of time for that...i just can't wait to watch Nolan's next : "the dark knight rises"
P.S.: I wonder what Nolan has to do win an oscar. I loved The Social Network...but in my book Nolan deserves an oscar at least in the orignial screenplay category.
