I think the turkey interfered with your wording, too, because that sentence doesn't make any sense to me. :lolMr. Sam said:
Y'know, I just watched my DVD copy of Inception, and I decided to watch the credit rolls till the end (when watching it in theater, I had to leave sooner). It freaked me out that nearing the end of the credit, "Non, je ne regrette rien" started playing...
...and then they slowed down the music until you can hear the distinctive "BWONG" sound, just as the last word flashed on-screen.
INCEPTION
Damn, what a badass way to 'kick' you out of a movie. :lol

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Got this for my wife as a stocking stuffer this year. We watched it last night. While I was not throughly impressed it was entertaining. Personally I was a little confused while watching it, maybe blame that on the Scotch.
Pretty sure this is a movie that I will need a couple of viewing to fully understand the plot lines. Seemed all over the place when I watched it for the first time. After the first viewing I can't say I understand all of the OMG MOVIE OF THE FOREVER..
Maybe I'm just a dumb movie viewer. Whatevs.

I watched this again a week ago, and it held up pretty well, though the problems I had with the film are only more visible the second time through. The dialogue isn't great at times, and I wish I cared more for the characters. They set up this cool cast of characters that you like and would like to know more about, but the movie is so laser focused on pulling off the inception that we don't get enough time with them. That's kinda one of the things that keeps me from caring about Cobb's storyline as much as I probably should, I don't know enough about him and his personality to really care that much.
The movie is still awesome, but I feel like this problem I have with the characters will only get worse upon further re-watches.

For those of you who have a subwoofer with the appropriate credentials,
, this movie will shake your house at some points until you think your house is the dream and it is collapsing too. :lol
Much like TDK and BB, Inception's sound mix features pleasantly foundation-shaking bass in all the right parts of the movie. I suggest the Blu-ray version of this film, incidentally. A movie like this doesn't get justice done to it on DVD.
a measurable frequency response that can be felt in the 10-15hz subsonic range

Watched it for the second time (since it was in theatres) with my dad over the holidays. Realised so much more than my first viewing, whether that's bad or good.
The fact that Cobb's totem is
Enjoyed it even more my second time through. Glad I got it as a gift so I can watch it over again and experience the special features!

touched (thus rendering it null and void?) when he is captured threw me for a loop the second time since I didn't really notice it when I was in the theatres.

There's a shitty official Android app for Inception but all it has is the "Bend Your World" feature. We Android users got pretty fucked in the ass, but we're used to that, even though Android is outselling iOS by one zillion percent right now all we get are sloppy seconds from the iOS appscape. It took Chase almost a year to bring their goddamned mobile banking app over from iOS to Android, that really pissed me off. :lol
sorry.wife and i finally watched this last night.... neither of us liked it all that much to be honest. a lot of the plot devices were so random, inconsistent, and cheesy. i felt like i stepped into a time machine and saw the matrix sequels again, as inception had the same "try to hard to be smart" feel to it.
i plan to watch it through again, this time with no distractions. i'm sure i'll pick up a bit more of the plot and small details that were missed the first time through. hopefully i'll actually be able to ignore the hype and enjoy it for what it is.

to me, the movie is all about Dom and Mal.. everything/everybody else is just an accessory. While Eames and Saito are both only concerned about Fischer/the inception, Ariadne, Arthur and Cobb all keep referring back to Mal.
I wonder how different the movie would have been like if it was Arthur dreaming the final level/the snow castle/hospital instead of Eames. Arthur's not a man of great emotion, but something would have had to have broken when it becomes apparent that Mal's intervening.
The Fischer storyline is a job. It's just a job. The depth of the Mal story is so much more developed in comparison - it's the core of the story and everything else seems to be built off of it. If you weren't already aware of it, watching the movie again and look for Dom's wedding ring in every scene. It changed the whole movie experience for me (and not just adding frustration with Dom for seemingly concealing his left hand on purpose in most scenes).
LOVED the movie but watching it for a second time I got sort of bumped my something. The mechanics of a kick seem to be inconsistent throughout the movie. In the opening Cobb is pulled out of a second level dream with a kick (bathtub dunk) from the first level. This implies that kicks "pull" a sleeping dreamer up one level to awaken in the same level that the kick took place. Later in the movie kicks are used to "push" a person who's consciously dreaming up a level to the level above where the kick is taking place. In one scenario, your sleeping body is kicked to wake you wherever you are sleeping, and in another scenario your conscious body is kicked to push you up a level to where you are sleeping. Basically kicks are used both on the body of the dreamer and on the dreamer himself. Is this a plot hole or just a dual usage of the kick mechanic?
As I understand it, heavy sedation changes how effective a single kick is.Epix said:
In the opening scene, Cobb and Arthur are only two levels down (so it would stand to reason they wouldn't have been heavily sedated, if at all). One kick in level 1 brings Cobb out of level 2.
When the team delves into Fischer's mind later, they're all heavily sedated to make the deeper levels more stable. That also makes it more difficult to "kick out". They have to kick on their current level around the same time as a kick occurs in the level above. This is why they "miss" the kick that occurs when the van begins to fall off the bridge in level 1.
I'm not too sure how sedation and limbo work with killing yourself to wake up, though my guess is that mortal pain incurred there is too intense and bleeds through. The deeper the dreamers go, the less effective the sedative becomes.
Botolf said:
I guess my point was that kicks can occur in both the dream world as well as the world where the dreamer is dreaming. I suppose that makes sense too, we've all experienced the dream where we free fall and wake up right before we hit the ground. That would be a kick from the dream world "pushing" you up a level. But pushing me out of bed while I'm sleeping would certainly serve as a kick that "pulls" me out of the lower level dream. I think the movie should have taken a second or two to add some dialog explaining this. Would have saved me some typing.
Me and a couple friends were chilling at my place to bring in the new year. Started drinking and I had just bought Inception and none of us had watched it. Put it in around 10:30. Really was into the movie. Then our phones started going off with text messages, looked at them and it was a bunch of happy new year texts, we had missed new years countdown by 10 minutes and we had only drunk 1 bottle of wine. It was so captivating that we missed new years and couldn't stop to grab another bottle of wine. So for the first time in a while I'm not completely blitzed after new years.
Fucking awesome movie. Probabaly my favorite since In Bruges.

So I watched it some days ago. I have to say while the movie is ok is incredibly dissapointing, specially for a dream movie, are these people having really this boring dreams? I was expecting something like Paprika, or hell, even The Cell, while not a great film, it had a dream world that actually seemed like a dream world. The acting wasn't specially strong either. Maybe I went on with different expectations, but either as an action movie or a dream/psychological movie it fails, it manages to be fun enough to entertain, but is far from being the movie of the year, much less the movie of the forever.

If the dream world is too different from the real world (i.e. if the architect changes the world drastically) then the dreamer's subconscious (the "people" populating the architect's world) will become hostile towards the one making the changes, as a self-defense mechanism.Cuban Legend said:
Besides, since the idea was to trick the mark into believing he was in the real world, the dreams have to be as lifelike/real as possible, not some Eternal Sunshine/The Science of Sleep-type thing.

Good Point.FunkyPajamas said:

For one, they said dreamsharing was a military project, where the point wasn't to create crazy dream worlds, but to simulate combat and how it feels to be shot/stabbed/killed without being actually hurt.
In addition to that, the idea behind both extraction and inception is that the subject doesn't know he's in a dream, which makes it easier to steal information, plant an idea, or whatever. Creating over-the-top, fanciful dream worlds breaks that illusion.
It's valid to be disappointed that the dreams in the movie aren't crazy, but it's not like the movie ignores this, and it even addresses it as part of the plot.
edit - beaten, damn. :lol

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that one. Makes sense too.Blader5489 said:
FunkyPajamas said:
Oh I see, it makes it more enjoyable that way, however, the defence mechanism does not make sense, your subconscious should just bring giant monsters, ninjas, whatever, not armed men, is what it does in dreams on a regular basis. ( I know this is also explained since the guy was "trained").
Also
one whole dream's objective was making Fischer aware he was in a dream as a trick to use him to attack himself, this was also explained I know, but the trick wasn't always to make him think it was real, it was the opposite actually. And as the movie explained too, no matter how illogical or crazy the dream, while you are in it you feel it's real and that everything is ok. This was actually the basic concept behind everything that happened with Mal.
I understand the whole thing was more an excuse to make action sequences with gun fights, but I like more "realistic" dreams for lack of a better word, dreams are not as simple as they were shown in this movie, and we all know that.

I don't know if I should feel sorry for you, while they can be amazing, my dreams can also become pretty messed up. :lol
Finally got to watch this movie over the holiday break. Great movie. I'm not a fan of DiCrapio, so any movie with him in it that I enjoy is a great movie. :lol
Anyway, the cliffhanger was all too predictable, but the rest of the movie was solid. Will watch again via Netflix.

My dreams can get bad still since they are based on reality. Imagine being chased by an axe murdered non-stop in Inception's world. It's not fun.mantidor said:
When I wake up from it (Finally), I'm looking behind doors and turning lights on for the night!:lol
I've seen plane crashes, car wrecks, a nuclear war, & my kids dying (Horrible!). So I wish I had some more fantastical/psychodelic versions sometimes.
