Inception is one of the wonderful movies I have watched in the recent times. It has the potential to be crowned as the decade’s best movie. In case you have not watched the movie yet, I would advise you not to read the rest of the contents of this blog. Please watch the movie and then read this. The content of this blog post has the potential to spoil all the fun.
It has been a long time since the movie got released. I have watched it twice and many of us would have watched it twice by now. There are still some nagging questions about the movie which are still lingering in my mind, unless someone comes up with a proper logic for the questions. They are
1) Mal (Leonardo’s wife) is just shown as a projection. Or she lives in her mind or whatever. How can a projection take away the character from one level to another?
2) For the characters to go from one dream level to another, they need to be connected to the machine. However Fisher and Saito moved to other levels even when they are not connected to the machine!!
3) How did Saito find Cobb in the final dream level? Where did Saito get some men to work for him? Ideally Saito is not the dreamer. He neither has his own projection nor has the capability to defend an attack on his mind as Fisher did.
4) What was the kick for Cobb and Saito to come out of the limbo? If you assume that Saito shoots Cobb and shoots himself, then there is no need for Cobb to search for Saito. Saito could have killed himself anyway.
I think there could be some logic for these. Guess I may not have noted some of the assumptions in the movie. Do you have the answer for these questions? If so don’t forget to leave your comment.
