Ulic Qel-Droma | 07-26-2010 04:26 PM | there is another theory that cobb himself was the one being incepted.
here it is Quote:
Dom Cobb was the SUBJECT throughout the whole movie. And at the end of the movie was the only time he was acctually awake. The clues are obvious once you realize that he was the subject and not Fisher.
Dom Cobb even said in one scene, the only way I can get to see my kids again is if I get back to the real world. At that scene the architect ran into the elevator real fast so he didn’t realize that he was being incepted.
There was no Cobol or Cobal however you spell it.. This whole plan was a setup to plant an idea in Dom’s head so that he could realize what the real world was. The person behind the idea was Michael Caine’s character, thats why he was at the airport. The real extractor was Saito.
It’s obvious he was in a dream throughout the whole movie. And they said that the totum was so that you knew that you were never in someone elses dream, not reality. Thats why when he went to the indian guys place he went to sleep and woke up in a someone elses dream. Thats why he never got to spin the totum in the bathroom.
Another thing.. Dom never got attacked throughout the whole movie, because he was the subject! Everybody else was getting attacked. Especially in the scene when the train came crashing through the middle of the street. Do you remember Dom being attacted in that scene? I didn’t think so.
There were flashbacks of Dom in the real world, but the Inception started when the so called “cobolt guy” told him that it was now or never, and gave him airplane tickets. Rember, there is no cobolt and that guy was part of the team in performing the inception on Dom. This explains why the kids are in the same spot when he got home wearing the same clothes. Because he was only asleep for a few hours.
Dom realized they planted the inception on him when he arrived back to find Saito sitting at the table an old man, the Dom says with a bewildered look on his face, I’ve come to remind you something, that this world wasn’t real. Thats when he realized he had the inception done to him. As he awoke on the plane you see everybody sitting there with a smile on their face knowing that they just did it to him, otherwise Fisher would have been like, you were in my dream and you and you were there and you were there! Right?
Think about all of the clues given to us. Its actually obvious if we pay attention a little harder. And about the top, it clearly started wobbling and no it did not start spinning again before the movie went to black.
| the only thing that doesn't make sense now is why the leaders of two super powers of the world help incept him and risk limbo (and by super power i mean they're fucking more powerful than governments themselves).
unless they wern't super powers, and scare crow and the last samurai dude were just forgers as well and acted as if they were super powers.
i duno.
the other thing is totems. i've been studying lucid dreaming and dreams for a while. Totems only work in that movie because only YOU (the owner of the totem) knows how it works, and you can go into OTHER people's dreams. but a totem would never work in your own dream in real life, because you know the totem's secret (it's weighted funny, it falls over one side, it spins forever...etc whatever it may be). A totem in your own dream would work however it wanted to. but it would only work the way you wanted it to work if it were someone else's dream.
Cobb could be very well stuck in a dream still at the end. cuz his totem, would always fall over, in his own dream. |
