Help me, flist - I'm feeling dense

AHH and I saw Inception last weekend and loved it. I'm actually feeling pretty fannish about it, specifically ( spoilers - including a very spoilery question )

meme-tastic, inception, linky mclinkerston, can music save your mortal soul, misc tv

In my world, the top fell.

But yes! Movie! Awesome! Must see again!

My world, too!

I look forward to seeing it again. I LOVED when Ariadne folded in the street on top of itself. So awesome.

I thought the ending of the movie was ambiguous, that you could decide for yourself whether the top fell or not, and thus whether Cobb was in a dream or not. But people seem pretty confident that it was just supposed to mean he was in a dream.

Huh. I had your read on the movie, too--we could decide for ourselves whether it was real. Interesting that people are reading it as definite dream!

I'm glad I'm not the only one at least! I liked the ambiguity of it.

I decided the top fell, but since he left it alone, anyone could have picked it up again.

Yes, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is supremely awesome, and if I could watch a two-hours movie of him running/floating in that hotel, I would.

The movie wanted to have the ending both ways, I think. So the reading "it's all a dream" is perfectly valid. But the totem did sound as if it will fall any moment, and people say it did fall. I didn't hear, but there was much noise.

but with all the reservations: still awesome.

For my money, the ending was TOTALLY ambiguous, but um I don't want the top to have fallen, because I sort of wanted him to suffer more for having fucked over his wife like that. /0?

Oh, the ending was totally ambiguous. In fact, most of the movie was as well.

Try hackthis for fic and recs, if you haven't already.
