Thanks. Objects ought to have existence though, perhaps in the form of a life-force. I see it as place where you and I become one. So, identity as we know it in this world is gone. The labels are gone. So can't be 'astitva'.😕

OK guys! You (and especially you Sarina) are going to hate me for saying this but it has to be said.

I seriously doubt cine-goers understood any of this muddled crap that Rao is spouting. Heck, I doubt even if the movie makers or the actors did. It looks like people don't want to come across as not too bright in front of others so everyone's praising this movie to the skies. I am sure the special effects are good but common now! Check this out for instance: "an internal debate going on in Fischer's mind. He's filling Joseph Gordon-Levitt's dream with his subconscious. And then one level down, in the snow of his own mind, he drops down to limbo when he dies, which means your rule of thumb isn't quite right. Because Mal shoots him, which means Cobb's own subconscious has taken Fischer to limbo. "?!

Filling dreams with subconscious? Snow of his own mind? Cobb's own subconscious has taken Fischer to limbo, limbo being an "unconstructed dream space"? What does it even mean?!

I know you will tell me that I should watch the movie before jumping to conclusions but I read enough (not just on this board but on other boards too) to understand that Nolan is trying to pull a fast one on the audience by keeping the story sufficiently jumbled.

You know, after you liberally use words like subconscious, dreams, limbo and levels, you could make up any story after that and it will keep the audience in a loop and keep them guessing forever because no one wants to admit that they are the only ones who didn't "get it".

LOL! I am not going to hate you for it. In fact I was expecting a post of this nature sometime from you, giving everyone a rap on their wrist over this Inception mumbo jumbo. Its so you K. 😆 Although, I did hope against hope that you would leave that aside and engage in discussion of these concepts in context of the movie and beyond.

Most people watch movies, enjoy and let go. Very few will analyze, or care to analyze. Most movie goers really do not want to think, analyze or rationalize movies. Most movie makers try to give the entertainment package. So I would give Nolan credit for trying to make a film with something more substantial in it. The concepts are complicated and I doubt anyone really understands it, everyone is trying to understand it. I doubt Nolan tried solely to fool people, but yes I am sure he did want people to talk and discuss and buzz about it - after all its this such buzz is what makes a movie sell. Word of mouth publicity.

Ultimately its just fiction. You take for what it is, enjoy it, hate it, on your own perceptions.

Inception

Anyone knows when the official DVDs are going to be released?
