"What matters isn't whether the top stopped spinning; what matters is that Cobb didn't bother to find out." Exactly.

Exactly.
- ScotterC 13y agoThat's the TL/DR/didn't watch I was looking for
- kapitalx 13y agoTL;DR from the video is: When dreaming he is wearing a ring, when awake he is not. In final scene he isn't wearing a ring, therefore he is awake.

- Semaphor 13y agoThat's what pretty much everyone I talked with thought… I don't think I'll ever understand why so many people think Inception is some kind of convoluted, brainy and really complicated movie when it's a cool action film with nice ideas but rather straight forward.
- stuaxo 13y agoThis ! I really, really didn't get why so many people on the net didn't get it, or thought it was really complicated !

- mistercow 13y agoI think I would have enjoyed the movie a lot more if I had gone into it expecting a cool action movie with neat ideas, rather than something cerebral. If I'm expecting an action movie, I'm willing to forgive holes and hand-waving in the plot and premise because, hey, it's just an action movie, and look at all the cool slow motion exploding crap. But if I'm expecting cerebral sci-fi, I have high standards for everything being tight and thought out. With those expectations in mind, I found Inception pretty dumb. It makes me wish I'd seen it without hearing all the hype first. But at least it was better than Looper.
- drone 13y agoIndeed, I spent so long refusing to watch it because everyone I knew was harping on about how great and cerebral the movie was - which has a tendency to cause me to want to find flaws. On a whim, I finally watched it a few months ago and was completely shocked at how poorly it was executed, and how much of the plot I had to gloss over to keep up with. I ended up enjoying it as an action flick, but being angry that it was sold to me as an intellectual journey. I suspect the rarity of filmmakers with talent at the level of, say, Cocteau, drags down the standards of what people are able to comprehend as truly cerebral.
- mistercow 13y agoMy hypothesis is that it's just very difficult to get a smart movie made without someone influential demanding that it be dumbed down.
