Wrap your mind around that for a moment.<br /><br />As for the spinning totem...we never see it drop...purposefully...we see it wobble and become unstable (affected by weight and gravity), so, IF YOU WANT TO, you can assure yourself that it is no dream, but the realization of Cobb's dream and desire of seeing his kids...but, we never see it drop, so...is all that we see or seem?<br /><br />It's up to you, whichever satisfies you more. But, like I say...the whole movie is about how Cobb "got there." And that says a lot. I love the ambiguity, but also the specificity of the clues in this.<br /><br />In my mind...the plot, the plane-trip, his relief from guilt and regret, his re-uniting with his kids is all reality...but I could be wrong. In the next higher-plane, the film and the World of Film is Nolan's dream-territory, so you can have it either way.<br /><br />It makes me giddy thinking about it."Yojimbo_5"https://www.blogger.com/profile/12791996320278381516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190627334056603500.post-70635522116305355232010-07-20T09:15:34.934-07:002010-07-20T09:15:34.934-07:00Well, thanks for revealing that bit of musical tri...Well, thanks for revealing that bit of musical trickery.
