- Inception. You asked for it, and then you asked for it some more. So finally we just said "screw it," and went looking for sins.

everything about this movie is genius except the fact that not a single bodyguard can land a killing shot
Dillon Foord i mean they killed saito
On the note of saito, defibrillators don't "just revive people", you can get a heart back to beating regularly instead of fibrillating, but if saito didn't suffer a random heart attack, the defibrillator would not have done anything.
@@axelandersson6314 it wasn't even used for Saito . .
AcRoN1S1 Oh, I'm stupid then.
This is literally one of the biggest joke in the horror genres. this movie was boring fell a sleep a couple of times during the movie. full of plot holes horrible special effects. the whole movie was pure garbage. i same as the 2 sequals. just pure garbage of a movie lol
Hard to sin a film that defies most logic to start with isn't it?
I thought the same thing.
***** Basically all the sins can be summed up to the fact their in a dream.
WAH WAH YOU KIST DODNT UNDERSTAND IT !!!! DUMMMY
+Equality *not actually impossible
+Equality *they're
Thank me later.
only 37 sins that explains how good the movie is
Unlike the newer videos, these are all real sins. That should tell you how shitty this movie actually is.
Has an 8.8 on imdb seems legit
Okay? I don't see the problem with that.
I actually think the movie is great... but yeah whatever, no one cares about my opini
Shashi Kant they're pretty bad sins though
I think the unsolvable maze was on purpose. If anyone were so adventurous to pause on it, Nolan left them a bonus by showing us that her solution was the only absolute way to make sure the maze could not be solved by anyone in under one minute…by making it unsolvable.
Hands down bruh
Exactly. So many sins weren't sins here, and actually explained by the movie. Like when saito asks eames about the disturbance in second level he scoffs at airplane turbulence and says it's much closer and Yusufs driving in the first level. And even the projections thing, Cobb had his kids in limbo too. Ariadne didn't shoot with the gun because it was a kick she had to ride back up the layers etc.
Everything Wrong With Everything Wrong With Inception please.
***** I agree
***** really... really?!? (*sigh)
I see what you did there...
+oakleyMC i so agree to that
+oakleyMC that would just be a rebuttal to all his points
I like how they just gave up on the subtitles when he was ranting about totems lol

0:08 Saito is the dreamer. He's the one in control. Same reason why Fischer can spawn infinite projection bodyguards.
0:13 He does this right after a cut with him saying he can't trust her anymore. I think this was intentional to show his internal conflicts and the irregular nature of the dream.
0:38 I believe that's intentional to stump Cobb. the "entrance" to that maze is also messed up. ultimately it's about the symbolicism in thinking "outside the box" with a circular maze that alludes to a clock.
0:46 1:00 These are also bits of spontaneity and confusion added in to make you doubt whether Cobb is really in reality here, like the shrinking walls he has to squeeze through.
1:08 Rule of Cool applies here.
1:26 Another bit to make you doubt whether this was a dream or reality. How did Mal get to the other side?
1:42 The bigger the changes you make, the more attention you draw. If you start driving around in a tank they’ll probably start using anti-tank weapons, causing the dream to become less stable and controllable.
1:45 The kick isn't exactly the sensation of falling, to be more accurate it's an abrupt change in acceleration. The first kick is the van hitting the barrier and the second is when they hit the water. The others were already down another level; nitpick here would be why Arthur didn’t wake up.
2:28 my theory is that its a preprogrammed tool, like mazes. dream bullets dont actually kill you, they send you to limbo. dream defibrillators could have a similar analogy.
2:35 They are going down to Cobb’s limbo, or his subconscious, which is where his guilt for Mal’s death is strongest, because that’s also where he planted the idea that made her kill herself. You can’t control your subconscious, same as how he couldn’t stop "Mal" from betraying him in the Saito mission, or even realize it.
2:43 The laws in the dream world aren’t absolute. it's essentially up to whatever the dreamer can come up with. I imagine things get even more funky down in limbo.
2:45 Again, he’s talking to his subconscious, which he can’t control. Him "bargaining" with Mal is actually him trying to reconcile his guilt.
2:51 Eames is collapsing the fortress so that Ariadne and Fischer get their kick to get back up to Arthur's level.
3:00 She’s using the fall as a kick, synchronized with Eames blowing up the supports and collapsing the snow fortress.
3:06 Cobb has been to limbo before, and this time he’s here intentionally, not like Saito who was killed. Thus he didn’t lose himself as Saito did, which is why he stayed young.
3:10 I did some googling, seems its not necessary but can be requested. (i almost lost my mind that this might have been another clue, but it turns out Japan also does not typically do this, otherwise it could have pointed to Saito's dream's ignorance.)
3:13 We can assume Saito “dealt” with them off-screen long before and it wasn’t mentioned.
3:17 4:01 That’s the bomb you just hit on. Not only does the top not work as a totem (because it does the opposite of what it should do in reality), it’s also invalid because Saito and Ariadne know about it. So spinning it doesn’t tell Cobb whether he’s in reality, a dream, or Saito’s limbo. Where you go from there is up to you. There are multiple contradicting hints as to whether he’s actually in reality at the end, such as the wedding ring and what his kid said as we focus on the red herring top in the final shot.
3:48 because you have to imagine your totem as a physical extension of yourself that's always with you. but it's true that they don't have to be these little items, they could be a well concealed tattoo, birth mark, or mole, maybe even some small implanted bump on your body to make it even less detectable.
edited 12.16.20; tenet blurays just came out! the movie was cool, but ever so slightly disappointing imo. there were definitely plenty of details and mind boggling concepts to work through tho.
i like The Closer Look's explanation that it's meant to be experimental, almost entirely focused on the plot, with a blank slate main character literally credited as the "protagonist".
Good job
This is amazing
Love you dude ahah
You are one of the few who gets it, and you took the time to write this and correct all of the mistakes this video makes, thanks. I'll just add that 3:06 Cobb entered limbo a short time after Saito did. As we know, a short time in one layer is a LONG time in a subsequent layer
I like your breakdown but at :38, anyone can make a maze that can't be solved -- just draw a line down the middle! -- so wouldn't be much of a test. And he liked it, didn't go 'wait that's cheating'
Cobb's totem is his wedding ring. The top is just sentimental
I haven't got time to check it in the movie but I suspect that's brilliant.
AudieHolland During dream sequences, he is wearing his ring.
did he wear ring at the end of the movie when he seen his kids/
Nope
Bryan Tan so ending was dream?
The fact that we got the soundtrack "Time" is worth removing at LEAST one sin.

The top is not the totem! It was Mal's. They said never share totems. Cobb does it because if its real life it falls, if its a dream Mal will keep it spinning. Cobb's totem is his wedding band. In the dream he is married he has it. In real life he doesn't
+tiamta well technically you can use any totem that nobody else knows. So, if someone dies, his token can be used by someone else. So yes, Mal's old token is now his.
Even though it gets a bit complicated if you consider his memory of Mal ...
The sharing is not the point. The point is the wedding band.
wait, did he have it on at the end, also if the wedding band is his totem then why bother spinning the top?
You'll have to rematch to find out
He spins the top to fool the others
tiamta and when is this rematch? How much are tickets
The reason why they don't dream up huge tanks is because even more of Fischer's subconscious will be aware of him.
if they were anyway out to get them, might as well yk
Why couldn't they dream up heavy armor to protect them against bullets and other shrapnel's
The van rolling doesn't work as a kick because it's not a synchronised kick. Given that they are under the influence of a powerful sedative, a simple kick won't do. So in order to wake up in a dream level they need to get a synchronised kick: one to the sleeping body in that dream level (ex. Them in the van) and one to the dreaming self in the level right below (ex. Them in the hotel). Let's take Ariadne example: when she's in Limbo, she jumps down the building (kick to the dreaming self) while getting a kick from the explosion of the hospital (kick to the sleeping body). This way she wakes up in the third level. The explosion in the third level works at the same time as kick to the dreaming self while the lift fall works as a kick to the sleeping body, so she can wake up in the second level. And so on. The van rolling is not synchronised to kick in the level right below, this is why it doesn't work.
Underrated comment.
@@dark420passenger sadly they were 8 years late to the party, and you were one year late, and I was 2 months late! oh the tragedies of the internet.
I just finished watching and I was confusing about van rolling .. thank .. I think I have to re watch that movie .. if little detail missing whole movie is like hangover after really big party.😶
Great explanation. As a fan of the movie I couldn't have said it better myself.
There's one problem with this explanation, Fischer actually woke up from limbo before getting a kick in the last level from explosion
Here is a mind blowing idea:
At the end of Titanic he floats off into the sea and in Inception he washes up on a beach...
Titanic a dream inside a dream inside a dream
*mind blown*
wait wouldn't that be a dream inside a dream inside a dream inside a dream inside a dream inside a dream?

I'm so passionate about this movie that I could offer a reasonable explanation for 98% of these, but I do think about this film way too much. Great attention to detail non the less. Thank you
yeah you just choose not to... of course... you choose not to show how passionate you are and keep it all to yourself... nothing to do with having self doubts about whether you do actually understand it in the first place
@@wailer27dude wtf.
For the sun with Arthur and Cobb in the chair, Arthur was under a sedative that didn’t mask anything to do with your ears, allowing you to feel when you were falling because your ears is where you get your balance from. Cobb wasn’t using that sedative in that scene, that was the mission before where he just needed wake up and cold water does the trick. Or you can interpret it like the ending where he was failing so he missed the first kick and had to go with the second
the thing is. Pay close attention to every fucking scene in the whole fucking movie ok? Cobb's tomtem isn't that spinning little shit. In fact, its pretty much what you suggested at the last sin. Every time he is in a dream, he has a ring in his left hand. He can't forget Mal so each time he enters the dream, he has the ring. Now, here is when it gets crazy. Cobb grabs the bag in the airport (we cant see the left hand) He is moving towards the bald guy (we cant see the left hand) gives the bald guy his airport passaport with his left hand and BOOYAA no ring motherfuckers. Cobb was no longer dreaming.
WAHOOOOOOOOOOOO :)
yup...saw this on 9gag long time ago...
Sometimes I think this amazing director wants us to learn from his other epics for enjoying another epics...remember "Are you watching closely?" from The Prestige - These aren't typical hangovers - these are Movies!
he would not have ring even if he was in a dream because he confront mail and he overcome her. now even in his dream she's dead.
There isn't really a clear ending for the film, everyone knows how the spin-top worked so it could of been in a dream since the first attempt. His ring...well he got over her so it doesn't explain anything.
Half of the sins were because you misunderstood it
Jaden Clarke
That is the point of cinema sins. Movies are made to make sense in some point. If at least 1/4 of the audience is still confused in the end, the film failed to deliver properly.
I belong in the 1/4 zone. I watched that movie, I studied physics, science and religions for multiple purposes (including hobby Novel writing and work), watched this movie with a college student that works on a degree in Science and both of us had no idea how any of the crap in this movie was even possible in the first place....
Light AMV's
Don't say the movie was bad or anything. I loved the idea, but they shouldn't just made up things like those totems to explain something that actually has no explaination on its own. It takes the wonder out of it, since it makes absolutely no sense at all xD
LordBloodySoul not to be condescending but I think you misunderstood my comment about you misunderstanding the movie
Jaden Clarke
That might be. It was pretty late in germany... Might have ben exhaustion o.o;
LordBloodySoul keeping it's audience confused is NOT a bad thing, it makes it exciting, and inspires thought
I just re-watched Inception, and the only issue I have is Arthur's 2 minutes to do all that stuff with the elevator and explosion. Outside of that, Inception is... dare I say it... the best movie I've ever seen!
What I learned from this video: you either didn’t pay attention or just don’t understand most of the movie (except the maze part being impossible that was funny as hell).
this whole movie is full of plot holes. nothing about this movie is good or well thought out. its just a boring shit fest. i fell a sleep twice during this movie. could not handle the boredom of it. and if i fell a sleep with a movie then i know its horrible. had it with hereditary paranormal activity the 2 sequals from insidious and i can go on and on. america should just stop making horror movies or movies in general. they have no new ideas anymore. they only remake movies. and nothing about it is good. its just a complete shit fest.
I am pretty sure you never heard of cinemawins
Metal Videos This comment is so autistic that I literally have no words to describe the utter stupidity you’ve spewed out in front of me.
@@tidyheidi9143 what I learned from you: you don't get sarcasm
@@tidyheidi9143 actually cinemasins do it for fun, "everything wrong with cinemasins" is their popular video but surprised you didn't watch it
Cob's totem is his wedding ring.....Not the top.
He says the top is Mal's Totem.
And he is only wearing his wedding ring in a dream. He even says "Because in my dreams we (Him and Mal) are still together"
But when he spins the top at the end, he isn't wearing his wedding ring....Boom Reality
the argument (Not stated by me) is that in a dream, the top can spin for forever, because its his/her/theirs/whoevers dream. That can either he knows how to spin a top well or its a dream.
Whoa good eye!
Yeah.... but he’s not together with her in the dream anymore, he let her go, that’s pretty much his character arc, so he wouldn’t have the ring anyway because in his mind he let her go.
edge .. I suppose so.
It’s never once mentioned that cob’s totem was his ring. He could have just worn it up until he returned home. He took the totem from Mal, but we never know what totem he had before. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but that argument is never really supported, and why does he need 2 totems??!?!?
Lets say EVERYTHING was an after-death dream Jack had after he drown when the Titanic sunk in the Ocean.....
Nah that would be revolutionary road(2008)
@@vishalvincent5012 ❤true
A lot of these sins are wrong. Looks like you guys misunderstood what was going on at some points.
Jetsumo70 joins I don't get cinema sins
It's humor, and I think it more obvious in their more recent videos, that although they do point out sins, they're more commonly just snarky.
Jetsumo70 I agree with you all are wrongs this movie is amazing to the point its so perfect
Its not mistake. It just they dont understand the story and some of them just blooper.
It's a bad movie and a stupid movie. That's just the way it is. Do you think Prometheus is a smart? It's not. It's also a bad and stupid movie, but a lot of wanna-be intellectuals jerkthemselves off pretending it's not.
When you wait till the end of the video to hear the reference montage but you realize this is an old video before they included them
Watching this reassures me how good Inception was because they can hardly find any wrongs
Apparently you didn't pay attention. If Arriadne shot the guy on that 4th level he'd be sent to limbo. He had to fall to get the kick.
Typhon Destroyer you need a kick from the upper level to wake up. Example: a kick in reality makes you wake up from dream level 1. (They show it in the first scenes. They kick cobb in level 1 and he wakes up from level 2) so arriadne cant wake up by falling in level4. Eames’ explosion should wake her up. Apparently you didnt pay much attention either.
@@denizkarakilic You dont even need the kick to wake up from Limbo in the first place either. Cobbs and Mal just kill themselves and wake up. Which makes limbo seem like a minor inconvenience and makes Cobbs backstory absolutely retarded.
Deniz Karakılıç no technically a kick was the feeling of dropping so technically they fell which has the same feeling from falling so they didn’t need the kick for that
you're all getting it wrong in different ways... the kick in the current level wakes you up in that current level and sends you to the lower level... unless you're already in the first dream state and THEN you either need a kick from reality or you just have to wait until the sedative wears off... e.g. in dream level 1, the van falls into the water but that only wakes them up in the first dream level, not in reality... I don't know if they needed a kick in limbo / level 4 to get back to the 3rd dream level, or if they just needed to die, but i'll keep reading (just not in this thread)
@@denizkarakilic where is the kick in reality at the end? They all wake up in the airplane but there they had no kick?
1:53 Level 1 can only affect level 2 dream, and level 2 can only affect level 3 dreams. Thats why they need to be awake in every level before being woken up by the level before them.
Vans tumbling over and over again is not a kick because in a multi level dream,you need to have synchronized kicks to wake up.
It's not that hard to figure out if he's dreaming if you pay close attention. Every time he's in a dream, he's using his engagement ring, thus if there's no ring (like in the movie's ending), it's reality.
Could the person who's dream hes in see that he doesn't usually wear one and elect to not give him one?
Kathy Li Well, according to the movie, as he's an "intruder", the dreamer doesn't have control over him. The only thing his dream can do is send projections to kill him.
+Lukaz Rhan S. Lima Gotcha. Then wouldnt his dream intruder projection reflect what he's wearing at the moment?
+Kathy Li I don't think so, since it's the subconscious mind, the dreamer can't control it.
+Kathy Li Even if the projections could, what would they do with that pointless information?
The last one should be a 1-less sin. Nolan really broke hearts with that scene.
I didn't get the last one
so basically the top represents a totem right? (arguably the movie is so complex that the top could be mal's totem and cobb's totem is his wedding ring but right now im just going to assume in this argument that its cobb's totem) and you know that you're in a dream if the top doesn't fall over, and you know that you're in reality if it does. in the ending, we see the top spun and despite seeing it wobble, we never find out if it really falls over or not. that means that there is a possibility that cobb is still dreaming of the successful mission and reuniting with his kids - or if the camera simply cut away too soon and the top really did fall over and everything we see at the end is actually reality. its heartbreaking bc we never know which it is, though most of probably hope its the latter
It should be a -37 sins
The top was his wife's totem, basically it can't fall in a dream, his totem is a ring but my question is, it's said he only wears the ring in the dream and at the end the top doesn't fall but he's not wearing a ring therefore it's hard to know if he is dreaming or not...
@@ZUnknownFox you're right about the ring but there are 2 easy ways to know that the ending is reality; his kids are wearing different clothes for the first time in the entire film, and Cobb explains earlier in the film that you never remember the beginning of a dream. If the film ends in a dream, they wouldn't have shown us him going through immigration and baggage claim. He would've just appeared in the house without knowing he got there.
1:09 - Yusuf said that he customized the sedative to leave the inner ear unimpaired, so that they still feel tipping.
I think the maze sin has a different meaning attached to it. Do you really think a director like Christopher Nolan who was working on this project for 10 years, wouldn't pay heed to the final maze doodled by Ariadne? In a recent Q&A he answered some questions relating to Inception where he further explained the theory that the whole film might just be a dream and nothing was reality. If this theory is really true, and the whole film is just a dream, then this maze sin wouldn't be a sin as in our dreams there's nothing called 'impracticality'. So in that sense, it wouldn't be a sin rather a 'hint' suggesting that the whole movie was a dream.
Then how do the totems fit in with the story? If it's all a dream, does their behavior vary because of something psychological or randomly or...?
To 32: They entered at ABOUT the same time. These minutes/seconds resulted in decades in the limbo. Thats the whole principle of the film.
Actually, the little spinning thing IS NOT Cobb's totem. It's his wife's, and for him it is just his souvenir. His actual totem (and it is not clearly said in the movie, you have to watch closely to get it) is his wedding ring : In dreams, he is still married to Mal, and he wears a wedding ring. In the reality, he does not wear it. (which is what you suggest at 3:49) And in the end? He is not wearing the ring. Therefore, he IS awake.
my mind just went KABOOOOOOOOMMMMM
What's the point of him using her totem then..
The movie is never clear about it. Some extra safety I guess?
Some people speculate his totem is actually his children (who he never sees turn around in his dreams). That is also a valid theory, and we can't actually verify which is true. In either case, both theoretical totems (children and ring) would suggest he's awake at the end.
In fact, Sir Michael Caine (Miles) suggested that anytime his character is on screen, it is reality. Miles is also present at the end, so who knows? Maybe Miles' presence is his totem.
piranha031091 I always thought he used his wife's totem to see if Mal was there since she chases him in his dreams and if it keeps spinning forever she is near and if it falls over she isnt close, I'm probably wrong on that but it seems like a cool plot device.
In 2016, this would have gotten more sins
why? :D

My goal is now to put this on every video by Cinema Sins. Wish me luck.
All the best😂
According to your comment history, you didn't say this on the Bolt video. YOU'VE FAILED!
Sin 22 isn't actually a sin because the kick from the first level only "kicks" into the second level but they are currently in the third level so the kick from first level can't reach them in third level they need a kick from second level.
(actually this was explained in the movie because when they were leaving their levels they all had different kicks in each level and not just ONE kick that got them out of all levels back into real-life)
This movie suffers severely from the "Bad guys can't aim for shit" syndrome. It's so cringeworthy at times.
Actually in this movie it makes sense since it happens in most movies, so if someone watches many movies his subconciousness thinks that that's how the people actually shot, and so his projections can't aim for shit.
I call that a lame excuse and bullshit. It's just annoying to see that people apparently get trained to resist such sleep agents and get a protection that can't shoot for shit. That doesn't make any sense to me. Usually I do not mind when bad guys miss but in this movie it's just so obvious and bad. It's nonsensical.
"The bad guys shoot like... bad guys"
Ding
damn dude, i will never be able to see the movie without noticing that anymore :(
Just to go off-topic: Startrooprs *can* aim their guns: they manage to shoot Leia in a new Hope, shoot a shit-load of x-wings and rebel ships, and the only reason thay totally fail to shoot Luke is because they're deliberately trying to reserve him for the emperor.
But on the other hand, they get taken down by a load of half-sized teddy-bears, so that kind of undermines anything they're actually good at ;)
The end cut scene was brilliant!!!!! It gives so much suspence and so much to think about...
but there is a hidden clue which will tell you whether he is dreaming or not. when he is dreaming Cobb has his wedding ring on. so watch the movie again and find out whether he was dreaming or not. I'm so happy I found that secret.
+Bob Man No there's an explanation because now that his wife is gone in his dreams he no longer wears his ring in dreams.
+Bob Man The kids say that they're drawing a castle on a beach, like was in Saito's dream. He's still dreaming.

The fact he skipped so many minutes just shows how flawless those scenes are
Yup. People who say this is a "trash" movie must love Adam Sandler movies for their "deep thoughts." It's in my Top 3 of all time.
Others have already picked it apart endlessly but man, it's so clear this channel had to really scrape the bottom of the barrel for this one.
These 'sins' are all things that make perfect sense to me even years after the last time I saw the film. This film is near flawless.
Just reaffirms the truth, gonna go rewatch now!
Man they really had to dig for sins lol
m8, will u check this out, a kind of cinemasins spinoff ARRIVAL (2016) czcams.com/video/h78ZkGiN4AQ/video.html
And most of them where not even sins if you got the movie
Not only do I remember the first time I watched this movie (in which, I left the theater literally shaking), but I also remember the next two times. The second time, I watched it at home with my parents (my mom already saw it once, as well). My Dad is not a movie person at all, and I was afraid he just wouldn't understand and lose interest. Surprisingly, he enjoyed the movie so much that we had an hour long discussion about it afterward. The third time, I watched it in a college class "studying" how the movie is really a contemporary film noir. This made me look at the film in a whole new light.
+Nicoleta Majlat WTF?
+Tom Carpenter 😂 that's what happens when you read something. And misunderstand it completely 😂 my bad .
i literally saw u comment this on another video lol
1:07 Caught you there! In every level of dream the kick has to be more powerful to work. In the scene with Cobb falling into the tub, they're on the second level (Saito was surprised that it was "a dream inside a dream") and when Cobb is explaining everything to Ariadne they are not asleep and Joseph Gordon Levitt's character is in a dream 1-level-deep. To support this, I give the example of the final job - they have to resort to an explosion to do the kick on the third level and suicide on the additional 4th level (Ariadne - jumping off a cliff, Cobb - bullet to the head). So, it's not surprising that they needed a stronger kick.
This is probably his shortest “everything wrong with” video. That shows how brilliant Christopher Nolan is!!
The thing is, the totem system does make sense. The unique thing about the top is that while in a dream, it would spin forever, while in real life it would fall. But then you may say, while Cobb broke the rule and told Arieadne how the totem works. Except the top wasn't his totem, it was Mal's. Cobbs totem is is wedding ring. While he is dreaming, Mal is still alive, and thus he wears his ring, When hes awake, its gone, because she is. The top is to throw people off his trail
More like a force of habit. He knows no one but him and Arieadne know how the top works, and he has been using it as his back up totem for so long that he just does it because its part of his "get out of the dream" routine
So, the reason cobb was way younger when he meets saito is because they're stressing on the fact that each level you go deeper into a dream, time slows down more and more, and limbo is the deepest you can go.
cobb went into limbo before saito.
CisforCock Yes, but Cobb got out. He wasn't in there nearly as long as Saito.
Justin Pinotti huh? out where?
The amount of time Saito was in limbo while Cobb was still in 3rd level was enough time deep down to age Saito more than Cobb.
Miceal wilson Just in case you didnt see what I wrote before: "cobb went into limbo before saito"
3:06 I'm starting to think that the world Mal, Cobb, Adrianne and Fischer were in wasn't limbo, but a 4th dream level with Cobb as the dreamer (built from his recollection of his time in Limbo), and the world Cobb and Saito ended up in was Limbo for real (Recreated in Saito's image).
i think the dreamers always have their totems with them because they take their totems wherever they go, so if they don't have their totem, they know they're dreaming. that forces whoever is gonna send them into a dream to include the totem so they don't immediately realize they're in a dream, or at least not until they spin/roll/whatever they do with their totem to find out whether or not they're dreaming.
I'm sure in these days he would take sins out of this movie
Why? It's a great movie, but it has a TON of things that just don't make sense, but it's a movie.
And add some for being confusing as hell
Lots of things that don't make sense, but it's a movie what? Movie's should make sense or they are very good movie's
It's the other way around. They make movies to dazzle. Escapism. Like movies about time travel. It's not possible to make a time travel movie make sense all the way because time traveling is impossible. Same with the Matrix and Inception and so on. I love these movies. Don't take them from me...
They are fantasy movies, they are there to entertain us, we don't want to see people just living normal lives and time travel is'nt possible yet
Some of these are not even sins, just the result of people not getting the story.
Why do people always defend films by saying "You don't get it"?
Apparently Prometheus is a brilliant film because everybody who doesn't like it doesn't get it.
BollocksUtwat Because if you pay close attention to the story of the movie, you will understand that some of these "sins" are false. Simple as that.
Sometimes the sins are a matter of judgment and taste on the part of those being critical. Some things aren't literally against "rules" of story telling or filmmaking, but they're still cheese or lazy or lacking depth or whatever the specific is. People who like the movie defend it then by saying "You don't get it" meaning you don't appreciate it or something.
Yes, I don't appreciate many things that others like. I think they're bad for reasons. This is where critical review becomes wishy washy and you have to choose your side and your general outlook on how things should be done.
BollocksUtwat
Whether or not you like the movie is irrelevant to whether or not all the things in this video are sins. For example, there are at least 3 sins that are explained by the whole "time is different in each layer thing," Liking or not liking the movie doesn't change that.
BollocksUtwat I know. I like the comments of people actually trying to explaining the movie. Saying "you're not smart enought to get it" is just a cop-out.
1:08 That's because Cobb is in a dream within a dream, and Arthur is in a single dream. The deeper you go, the bigger push you need, no?
I like the longer sin videos...... love your stuff keep doing what you do !
Okay, so clearly you didn't understand this movie, here are the the sins of this video: 1.Saito can have bodyguards because its what he wanted based on where he was, obviously Mal wont need bodyguards in the house with her projection children. 2. Cobb doesn't feel the kick that Arthur does do to the fact that he was trapped in limbo with Mal, which affects him when he is dreaming different to other characters. 3. No witnesses can heard Cobb and Mal arguing because they're the only ones in limbo.. IN THE WORLD THEY CREATED. 4. Cobb didn't kill his wife, she committed suicide by jumping off that building. 5. Forensic science cant go into their limbo which is where they would stay for many dream years and prove that Mal committed suicide because the whole dream thing is illegal. 6. His fingerprints weren't in the hotel, Mal destroyed it alone, which you can find in some point in the movie. 7. They aren't going to "dream up" a tank because that's retarded for one guy on the roof, even so there is only one van left with one guy in it trying to kill them, and a tank wont serve very well for a kick submerged in water. 8. Van tumbling on its side isn't a kick because AS STATED: They dreamers are sedated, so they need to be dunked in water like Cobb in the bath. 9.The rules of gravity only affect the next dream. 10. That's the point, Fischer doesn't recognize Saito because they are tricking his sub conscious, and who said that Fischers ever seen Saitos face? 11. Yes Arthur was able to do that in a couple of minutes because as CLEARLY stated in the movie the van falling off the bridge into the water slowed time, Cobb states the time differences in between each level when consulting the plans. 12. Cobb is within the levels she is and alive because shes a projection of Cobbs guilt so shell follow him, as stated on the snow mountain, if Ariande told Cobb how she designed the level Mal would know as well = Follows Cobb. 13. Mal killing Fischer was him going to limbo and falling into Mal's hands, clearly stated, if you die in this inception you will go to limbo which was created by Cobb and MAL so.. 14. Yes genius, they were soaked when they left the ocean, and in the next scene when they're passing the giant buildings which were far into the distance, were dry, do the math.. = you dry off as you walk past the hundreds of buildings. 15. He's making a ransom deal to find out where Fischer is, also Mal is still capable of harming him as being a part of him. 16. The reason for the guy blowing up the snow level building was to give a kick = building falling down = falling down = kick. 17. Ariande doesn't push two people off a skyscraper, just Fischer and its the storm which was the defibrillator which was how to get out of limbo = death + defibrillator = life :). 18. Ariande shooting herself and the others in limbo would have KILLED THEM, good solution when you can live instead, right? Actually Cobb and Saito didn't enter limbo at the same time and as STATED many times before in the movie dream time is very different from real, do you think when you dream it lasts for the full time you sleep? No like five minutes, again time difference, many years passed in limbo before Cobb got there. Also you might ask why Fischer didn't age, its because Saito was dying for each level he got shot in the first one, so it was slow bleed out. 19. Cobbs totem is meant to spin forever if hes in a dream genius which is what makes it unique. 20. Arthurs totem is meant to land on a certain number each time if hes in a dream genius.
Video Sin tally: 37
Sentence: Removed content from CZcams (not a funny joke, inaccurate movie sins)
- From Noland! :)
holy shit
yeah
tldr: You're new to CinemaSins
This was a fucking stupid comment, this movie was covered in flaws.. still liked the movie..
As @MeatPawpsicle said, you must be new to Cinema Sins so let me explain a few things to you. Cinema Sins is not a series that is dedicated to only covering bad movies, movies they believe are bad, or trying to make people think good movies are actually bad. They simply point out funny/illogical/WTF errors, many of which people wouldn’t think of which results in viewers laughing/enjoying it because it’s a different take on the movie. The two guys that do it love Back to the Future, it’s the top movie for one and within the top five for another, they still did a sins video on it. Why? Because every movie has sins. It does, unless it’s a documentary, every movie has screw ups or things that don’t make sense. There are various reasons for this, for example in World War Z something happened and they had to reshoot everything after Israel and they changed the entire ending, well because of that a lot of things were cut on the editing room floor, thus some things are not explained. Happens in movies all the time. Or Prometheus, there was a reason Guy was in it, he had more scenes where he was a younger man, but they all got axed, resulting in confusion as to why they had a well known actor put on old man makeup for 5 minutes of screen time.
Everything you wrote just makes it look like you are a huge fan boy (and fan boys are not a good thing. A fan boy is basically a racist person. You can throw any logic/science/fact/idea at them and they’ll never change their mind because they have this blind commitment to some ideal) because you seem like your mad about everything. Again this isn’t to destroy people’s love of the movie, it’s just a funny look at everything. Now I’d like to go through your sin things real quick.
1. That doesn’t make sense, why didn’t Saito, or anyone in Limbo, ever just ‘dream up’ other people to talk with then?
2. This doesn’t make sense, but I think a lot of it is because of the way you wrote the sentence. Cobb doesn’t feel the kick performed by Arthur because he’s in Limbo with Mal?… Wait, never mind, none of what you wrote makes sense since Cobb is in Limbo with Mal well before the movie even starts and doesn’t return until going after Saito.
3. You are now telling me that the entire movie takes place in Limbo?… I don’t think you understood the movie. Mal’s mind was messed with by Cobb in Limbo. So when Cobb was in the real world with Mal she couldn’t accept that the real world was real. She rebels against the ‘reality’ that has been presented to her. This is why she kills herself, to prove to Cobb that it’s a dream, and to go ‘deeper’ into the dream realm. She knows Cobb will have to follow her, especially if she makes it look like he killed her. If this was all in Limbo it wouldn’t make sense for Cobb to care because he’d just follow her. Also if it was in a dream she wouldn’t be dead and he could go back to America whenever he wants.
4. But they are in Limbo! Also why is this here again? We know that this happens because it’s on the screen. We watch her do it.
5. Again I don’t think you understand the movie. If Mal dies in Limbo, she goes into a further limbo or her mind just is completely mush. Regardless, her real world body would result in no physical damage or death other then mental.
6. That’s what they are saying, because Mal was the only one in the room, and she was the one who destroyed it, the cops should be able to say, ‘Well there’s no finger prints from Cobb on any of these items that he threw during this fight.’
7. It doesn’t matter that a tank wouldn’t serve for a kick in the water because it was never planned to go into the water, you do have a point about the Tank not being able to serve for a kick though,.
8. Wait wait wait, I can’t tell if this is a good point or not. I don’t recall the movie ever saying sedated dreamers need to be wet to wake up. And Cobb wasn’t sedated in the first scene was he?
10. In the business world, in today’s world, you should know what the CEO of your enemy company looks like, but maybe you are justified.
13. Limbo wasn’t ‘created’ by anyone. It’s simply the next level down. Because it’s so far into the dreamers mind it’s very wasteland like and empty unless someone is there and they build in it, but if you took a completely separate group, put them in all the dream stages needed without even being in the other people’s dreams, when they got to Limbo it would not be the same Limbo Mal and Cobb were in.
18. Wait wait wait, you don’t ‘go back to the previous dream level by waking up/coming back to life’… When Mal and Cobb are in Limbo during his flashbacks they have to lay on a train track and imagine/dream a train coming and killing them. So forget what I said about Mal killing herself to go into the further past limbo, she killed herself to wake up. That’s what she was trying to do, because when you die in Limbo is when you wake up if you had died in a dream. Or at least one that far deep.
18. Actually dying in Limbo wakes you up completely, so you are wrong. 19. We understand what Cobb’s fucking totem is suppose to do. THAT’s why at the end of the movie people may argue that he is either in a dream and never really gets to see his kids again, or that he’s in the real world. BTW those spin tops, I have one, they spin for a long time, but Nolan put this scene in the film to make people think, ’wait, is he dreaming or is he awake?’ 20. I think everyone understands that, although if someone saw Arthur roll his die, they could just dream up weighted dice that land on whatever it’s suppose to land on, this is why the weight of the die also is only known to Arthur.
You just kind of took this video too seriously and mistook it for the guys trying to destroy the movie when it’s just a satire meant for enjoyment. There’s a series kind of like this, it’s defunct now, called ‘Bad Movie Theatre’ by Adam Koralik, you can’t find the videos on CZcams but go to Figureitoutproductions.com and they’ll link you to it. Anyway I love the movie, ‘The Island’ and he did one of these on it and pointed out some huge flaws, but I didn’t get pissed and write him a nerd-tastic over reaction fan boy post about it. I simply laughed at the things I had never realized before and continued to enjoy the movie. Calm down dude, it’s just the internet.
the maze was supposed to be impossible, therefore making it take longer than a minute to solve. this is why ariadne was chosen for the job; she's really smart and thinks outside of the box
the maze was supposed to be tough -- NOT IMPOSSIBLE..
"less than two minutes to draw, one minute to solve"
you cant solve an impossible maze, which is why this is a sin
Tshepo Tshotetsi if you can't solve it, then it takes more than two minutes to solve. cobb didn't specify that it had to be possible
***** your 5 year old sister wouldn't come up with the idea of making in impossible maze in this situation. most people wouldn't. the people that would are the ones who are smart enough for this type of job.
You are seriously stretching here dude.
Plus, "unsolvable" does not equal "takes more than 2 minutes to solve" anyway. What number of minutes that is > 2 does an unsolvable maze take to solve?
***** after a shitload of reconsideration, you're right
For sins 26, the movie explains that the deeper level of dream you're in, the longer time is
Some sins are explained in the movie. For instance, Arthur felt the kick while the chair was falling since Yousuf customized the sedative to leave inner ear function unimpaired. That wasn't the case in the Cobol engineering job.
THE TOP IS NOT COBB'S TOTEM, PEOPLE! IT'S HIS RING!
wait so why did he always spin it?
jfcmanalo I think I have a theory for that
The Totems are suppose to be one per dreamer, but the thing is that CoBB is probably the only person that has two totems. in his case he uses the top so he can threw people off, as we all know a Top can stop in real life, so to our understanding if that were true he would be stuck in a dream indefinitely if the baddies wold recreate a top to wobble, however thats his idea, to see if his first defense is breached, his second defense is his nonexistant ring.
in the beginning of the movie he wears it in the dream world, however in reality he is wearing no ring whatsoever. in the movie he stopped wearing his ring after his wife died.
also
Did he ever mention that top is his totem...Cobb never said that top is his totem
1 - take random fan theory
2 - POST IT IN ALL CAPS AS IF IT'S A COLD HARD FACT OR IMPORTANT
3 - realize that the theory explains to explain an ambiguity that isn't ambiguous any. it's the real world.
4 - delete post.
Pen StorySky
Why have totems in the real world in the first place if you can just make something in the dream that you don't have/wear in the real world? "I'm gonna wear just red socks in the dreams so I know I'm dreaming" It doesn't work like that or at least it's never hinted.
When Cobb "wakes" in the dream does he always have the ring on auromatically or does he have to put it on as soon as he is dreaming. If it just automatically appears in his finger at will then you really don't totems in the first place. If he has to put it on consciously them it really doesn't help at all. You'd have to know you're dreaming to put it on. If you don't know you're dreaming, you think that you are in the real world, then you wouldn't put it on and you're in trouble.
And the others must have seen that he is only wearing his ring in dreams. So all they have to do is wait that Cobb is dreaming and put the ring (if it still exists) or a copy of the ring to his finger and now he has no way of knowing if his dreaming or not.
Pen StorySky wait so the reason he spun the top was to confuse people?
Everything wrong with inception.
1) I want more
The end.
"Do I have a totem in my pocket right now?" Nope, just happy to see me.
0:09 how the fuck did you not sin the amount of lamps this geezer has, he must have a power station in his basement AND garage to run all this shite
I thought Saito entered limbo earlier than Cobb and since time moves really fast in Limbo it made sense that he's old. The others I have to agree with though :).
i have no idea why i'm leaving this comment bc it's the geekiest thing i've ever done, but i feel compelled to clarify plot points on a few things that aren't actually sins, and a few things that are!
- The reason Arthur could feel the kick when he was falling later even though Cobb didn't is because Cobb and Arthur were using two different kinds of Somnacin blend. The one Arthur was using was an experimental test of Yusuf's new mix of chemicals, which he (magically lol) designed to "leave inner ear function unimpaired," which is why Arthur (and subsequently the others) could experience the sensation of falling. (what's the most frustratingly unclear part about kicks is that apparently you don't actually *need* to feel the sensation of falling because it's the impact/explosion/thud that actually kicks you up. All the "sensation of falling" thing means, in practical terms, is that arthur spends a lot of time in zero gravity.)
- The reason the van turning over and over doesn't function as a kick is because for this particular kick to work, it has to sync up with another kick happening down below. The kick they planned (the van hitting the railing) fails for two reasons: a) because it's not powerful enough, and b) it's not synchronized.
As you go deeper into the dream, the effects of the real world actions get more and more muffled. (For example: That's why the giant tuba noise of destruction is so slow and draggy whenever you hear it in the dream; it's actually the quick ostinato bass line of "non, je ne regrette rien" slowed down exponentially until it's a dull throb in the background.) When the car turns over in the air, everyone feels it on the first level and the second level--arthur has his zero-gravity fight and we conveniently don't see anyone on the third level at all. Given the muffled impact that the actual kick has, we can assume they got a series of mini-avalanches before the big one that we actually see for the kick. But those little shocks aren't kicks because the dreamers aren't in place to kick themselves up from below. (Why don't the dreamers on the top level wake up during the van flip? Because per a) and b), again: a) Yusuf's Somnacin is very good, and they're sleeping very deeply, and b) They need all three kicks happening at once to wake them up.)
Because they're doing so many new things in the three-layer dream, they have to deliver kicks for each level, and all at the same time (relatively, since there's a major time delay between the first and third levels). When the van hits the railing, Arthur is supposed to be blowing up the hotel and Eames is supposed to be blowing up the hospital--it's the only way to get them out because the top-level kick they devise isn't powerful enough to jolt them out of all the levels. (That's why the warning music--Edith Piaf--plays as "wind" on the third level for 20 minutes before they even realize it's actually the kick music.)
But when the top-level kick comes, they're not where they need to be and since everything is so muffled, all they get is a little avalanche that knocks them down off the mountain. It's not enough to wake them up. This means they have to devise a totally new kick. Queue Eames blowing up the building, and Arthur blowing up the elevator. Notice how they also have to re-do the musical countdown in order to sync up. (I guess Arthur's subconscious dream ipod is perfectly queued and in-tempo!)
- the reason Eames blows up the building on the third level is, as previously discussed, to kick all of his team members up from that level. The defibrillator servers a double purpose, since it not only revives fischer on the third level but serves as the signal to the limbo kids that it's time for them to kick themselves up a level, which ariadne does by literally drop-kicking fischer off the building.
- here's where it just goes off the rails. At first we're told the inception levels increase in multiples of 20, this is made extremely clear from the outset during the planning stages. BUT when the van is (according to cobb) 10 secs away from the railing, Cobb says Arthur is 3 minutes away from the kick and that Level 3 has 60 minutes. If Arthur is really 180 seconds away from his missed kick when Cobb says so, that means the time is actually multiples of 18 and the third level only has 54 minutes. But then later, when the van starts falling, Cobb says a) Arthur has a "couple of minutes" and somehow, inexplicably, b) the third-level team just has 20 minutes. That means we've gone from multiples of 20 to 18 to 10!!! without explanation.
A better theory is that Cobb is a moron who can't do math and the 1:20 ratio is the same all along. But that means that if he's right about them only having 20 minutes on level 3, then Arthur actually has *less* than "a couple" of minutes-he only has 90 seconds.
Since that's not physically possible, I like to pretend Arthur just made time slow down with his MIND on that level. It makes about as much sense as anything else in this movie.
- the biggest sin you left out, in my opinion: if Arthur can go back to the U.S., as he tells Cobb in the beginning of the movie he intends to do, why doesn't Cobb just have him go get his kids and bring them to Miles' house in Paris? PROBLEM SOLVED.
There were a few sins that were unnecessary,
1st: Mal's Totem was the top, Cobb's was the ring
2nd: The Kick only works once they finish there task, Or when the timer ends.
3rd: If you were more observant, He never remembered what his children's faces were like, Hence why he avoided them. When he went back to reality, His Children were existent.
4th: Suspense is the best, Maybe we will never know if Cobb got back to reality, but it will give us an opportunity to come up with theory's, as I did.
Just a heads up for anyone who hasn't seen, or didn't understand the movie
oliver kirkby No. he uses the top as his totem. remember in the beginning when he was about to shoot himself if that top didn't fall? the ring is just his guilt manifesting while he is in a dream.
3rd is wrong. How could he forget them? He wasn't gone for more than a year, the kids look exactly like they did when he left. He doesn't want to see their projection's faces because he doesn't want to become losed in the dream world like Mal did. If he doesn't see their faces, he won't believe they're real.
One of my all time favourites
2 points :
- I think they don't dream about a tank because they want to keep the dream as real as possible.
- Cobb is dry the next scene because it's a dream...
Cob and Saito are vastly different ages in Limbo even though they entered it shortly after one another because, like they explained, the deeper you go, the more time goes by rapidly, i.e. one second in reality is a few hours in your dream, and a few hours in the first level is a few years in the second and so on.
This movie is so cool tho ngl, I very rarely watch movies and be excited. This was one of the few. It even made me a bit emotional
These videos have only gotten longer and longer over the years and it makes me want you to re-sin them again going into much greater detail.
All in favor of this being redone say I
I think you mean "aye".
aye
I
eye...
i
the reason the rules of gravity dont change in the third level of the dream is because its a deeper level... the gravity changed in the second cause it wasnt as deep of a dream...
You are right. Author of this video got that one wrong. But still, funny.
......... The gravity change in the second dream should have effected the third dream just as much as the first dream effected the second dream.
it affected it just not as much. there was an avalanche and they had to roll off the mountain to miss it cause that was the kick that they had to miss
*****
Gravity is a instantaneous force. It coherently would not take time to apply.
Magaluna
Yes, which logically does not make any sense.
as bs The entire movie is illogical. It rejects your reality and substitutes its own.
The reality substituted by the movie is that what happens in reality, or within one dream, is noticed less by inhabitants of each subsequent dream.
Magaluna is correct.
alot of these sins were just things going over your head.
Another sin: Why do the elevator wires snap as if they were pulled taut even though they are in zero gravity?
saito mentions in the airport that he'll make a phone call from the plane that will allow cobb to get back home with no one after him or anything and then when they wake up on the plane in the end, cobb gives him a look and saito picks up the phone and dials. thats how he got back home without a problem and those cobol engineering people dont wanna kill him.
at least they admitted they went fishing for sins, I only counted 4 actual sins, the curtain and flight attendant, poor enemy shooting, van tumbling not being a kick, and arthur doing all that in a couple of minutes. every thing else is them deliberately removing context from the film. Like the reason no ones going to do a foresnic scan is bc Mal had created Cobbs motive. She said she was scared for her life from her husband. Or the reason he has a passport is bc hes no longer a US citizen bc of Sato's plan, hes probs a japanese citizen now. Oh and Mal is more than a projection, she was part of his subconscious and conscious (bc Cobb and Mal were two parts of a whole). The whole totem thing actually explains the whole movie bc of Cobbs ring which does EXACTLY what you were complaining about.
Well said
Yeah they also made a point about how if Cobb can make the totem keep spinning why can't they for instance make cars move and not drive them because the projections would notice and turn on them
10Exahertz I think the question about why gravity isn't impacted in the "snow level" though, is a valid one (I've thought of that before while watching it). If they are all experiencing zero g in the hotel level where they are asleep (which is because of the zero g caused by the falling van in the first dream level), then why wouldn't they be experiencing the zero g in the snow level? That's the only sin that has actually bothered me when watching the movie. I still LOVE this movie and think it's incredibly well made, but I haven't been able to come up with a good explanation for that.
The thing is an avalanche doesnt actually represent gravity, nor need to, an avalanche can be symbolic of any inertial shift, such as them banging against a wall in the hotel room while in zero g
Crystal Henderson It's simple, actually. Sensations cannot be transferred more than one level deeper than the dream.
This is literally the only movie that has ever made me scream FUCK YOU at the ending. We'll never know the truth...
Fun fact: The reason why we perceive this film to be so good is because the huge number of concepts illudes us by making us struggle to understand the baseline of the story and not struggle enough to go beyond that baseline and find the cracks in the plot.
In simple words, the top layer of the cake looks beautiful while the inside has always been improper.
But I still love the film.
Exactly. It’s like something out of reach that you are so close to grasping the end of, but you just can’t. You’re trying to get everything to click, but it just doesn’t
Some of the things that were mentioned are movie mistakes, yes. But most of the questions were explained in the movie, just not that obvious so you'd have to watch it multiple times to get everything.
That's annoying.
what do you mean?
EonHSD Watching the same thing over and over seems a little tedious.
Rip Van Winkle I find it nice to be able to re-visit a movie and discover things I didn't notice the first time around.
Empressoftheflames Well, I wasn't a huge fan of it, so that may be why. I dunno, I do that kind of thing more with shows than with movies.
3:00 is not a sin because it is proven at the end that when you die in Limbo, you go right back up into reality. Her knocking them out of the building serves as a kick. Hence the falling part.
Same for 1:07. The chemist explains that the falling thing is the only kick his drug would allow, since it was stable enough to negate a strike from someone, but 'left inner ear function unimpaired'.
1:04
I felt the same way about Charles Dance in Woman in Gold as you did about Dileep Rao in this movie.
"Hey, look. It's that hiring manager from the Imitation Game, playing exactly the same character."
You forgot when Cobb said "Not these, these are my dreams" when Ariadne mentions he said to share dreams, before showing them to her anyway
It's a good heist-movie with a nice spin on it but I was kinda disappointed how unimaginative the dreamworlds were and how people think it's deeper or smarter than it actually is.
Well it is deeper than you probably think..
Shay Morris
Trust me, it's not.
Trust me....It is.
Shay Morris
But I don't trust you. :)
But you should trust me ;)
This film was honestly great, one of Nolan's greatest works.
Well the top totems whole point was that in a dream it wouldn’t stop spinning.
3:58 You can't just "not carry a totem with you in a dream". I can testify personally, I had a dream that I really thought was real, I even pinched myself and took out my phone to take a picture and send it to someone. Normally in a dream I just stay in reality and don't access the internet. (Sometimes I watch movies in a dream tho.)
But that's also when the dream literally started to collapse. The phone camera was zoomed in weirdly and then crazy things started happening and I started noticing as the people beside me lost their heads and shit.
I guess sending a photo to someone on my phone is a totem. Or, I can look up a random person's account on instagram and see if it's real later. Your mind can't come up with the names of real accounts you don't know. I thought it did once or twice in my dreams but then forgot the account name by the time I woke up.
Point is, your mind can trick you in certain ways like bringing things into your dreams that you expect to be there, but if you inspect the logic too hard it'll start to fall apart. The simulation isn't that powerful. Unless maybe you're in Limbo. Never been there.
Limbo is the closest thing to death or a coma... Maybe.
Also, you have awesome dreams but I'd rather not experience them myself. Cool that you have that ability, though!
The spinning top is Mal's totem as mentioned in the movie, and it's not anything special so anyone can replicate that in dream state.
Cobb's actual totem is his wedding ring. This is because he's married in his dreams, but not married in real life.
In limbo it appear silver, and in normal dreams it's gold.
1. Satio had body guard projections just as Fischer had projections of his bodyguards. These were important figures in their lives & were part of their subconscious.
2. The point of the movie was not only to talk about the concept of inception but for Cobb to confront his inner demons- which happened to be the appearance and control of his wife in his subconscious & overcoming that.
3. If the architect hadn't got the material wrong than the story line of the whole movie would have been altered because Ariadne wouldn't have been needed.
4. The 'Asian kid's name is Todashi. Codd pays him to be there when Satio wakes. Read the screenplay.
5.You can hear the helicopter propellers when it arrives. It's a movie. If there were the actual amount of noise a real helicopter makes you wouldn't be able to hear the dialogue.
8. You missed one. During Cobb's run from Cobolt Energy employees they pan out to see the alleyways he's running down which happen to be empty of people, but when the scene switches to street view, the alleyway is crowded.
13. Everybody feels kicks differently. Because of Arthur's ability to feel the kicks better he's chosen to wake them during the 4 layer dream with Fischer.
17. The entire conversation with Ariadne takes place in front of Satio?
25. He has a few minutes before they hit the ledge. and then several more before they hit the water.
27. Have you been watching? Mal has control over anyone in Cobbs dream. She shoots Fischer putting him into limbo, and then goes into limbo herself before Cobb does. Because limbo has a larger time dimension, she has kidnapped Fischer before Cobbs gets to it.
28. Limbo is a different time dimension. How do you know it was 'just moments' later?
29. obviously he has a problem with being able to sense what is real or what is not when it comes to his wife & because of this yes, he does not act with logic. but eventually he does confront her. if faced with the same dilemna would you have done the same?
30. They have to be waken from each layer of the dream. They commit suicide in limbo bringing them back to Eames which blows them up waking them in time to be blown up by the hotel elevator explosion which wakes them up in time to rescue themselves from the sinking van.
35. Satio touching Cobb's totem in limbo is not a big deal because Cobb's totem isn't his totem it's actually his wife's totem that he carries around as a memory. Cobb's totem is his ring because in every scene of a dream he was wearing his wedding ring and in every scene of reality he was not wearing his ring.
Man... I watched ur whole post..
And didn't stop laughing ...
U made my day 😁😁😁😅😄😄😄😂🥰🥰🥰🥰
The totem rant was funny 😂
another sin: You remember that scene of the girl seriously warping reality at will? I hope you enjoyed that shot because that ability will never be used in any significant way in the movie again.
I mean, yeah, we see that was what Cobb and Mal were doing for 50 years, and that one guy makes a gun that way, but never do we see it used in a major way to solve any big problem. in the end, it's a cool shot, but was utterly pointless. I guess Nolan was never told what Chekov's Gun was.
*****
Oh I know, But there could just as easily been a scene toward the end of them getting desperate and having the girl do some massive alteration to solve a problem. like, "yeah I know it would alert them, but I had no choice if I wanted to save you" or "if I wanted to complete the mission"
If you had been paying attention you would know that everything the main character is experiencing is suspect due to the fact that it is NOT his totem to begin with.
He could be still in the original dream with his wife continuously trying to wake him up.
i love how everything great with inception is double the length of this one
EVERYONE in the comments:
"There's nothing wrong with inception, you just don't understand it"
William Jardine Yeah it’s almost like the majority of people understood the movie and are pointing out that he’s wrong, fancy that huh?
@@user-vz4gg6cs4l I had a stroke reading this, and either you struggle with the English language and its written math, or you had a stroke writing it and I should call an ambulance.
the movie wasnt complex at all, you go into a dream: time slows down. you go into a dream from that dream (aka a deeper “dream level”) time slows even more. What about this concept is revolutionary to people? Have yall never heard of time dilation before? Thats all this movie is, a blockbuster action movie with a pseudo sci-fi plot loosely based on time dilation. Theres no substance in the movie past that. You could argue that it has emotional themes and the meaning lies more in the characters and their arcs, but the plot itself is not very meaningful. It is used as a device to explain away all the action, shooting and explosion cgi that they wanted to throw in there. The same with most blockbuster action movies, the plot isnt meant to stand alone, it is merely a device to give the characters reasons to do things and justify the massive fight scenes. If they could make a movie with little to no plot ans just action/explosions they would. OH WAIT, im thinking of fast and furious, bourne franchise, marvel movies, etc... People get so distracted by the cinematic quality of these movies, ie. The audiovisual quality, and conflate it with substance and overall quality.
At the end of the day, art is subjective, although there are fairly objective guidelines that define good art and bad art, in the same sense, you could argue that banging your head against the wall is good music, but most people would agree that pop songs sound better than banging your head, so we can draw a sort of intuitive line between the two. The whole point of this comment was to refute this notion that the movie is somehow complex in plot or themes, not to claim an objective authority on whether or not the movie is good.
the ending was good though, those brilliant motherf*ckers did make a good ending
His totem wasn't the top. It was his wedding ring. I know it wasn't told in the movie, but that's what it is.
To add to that the top was his wife's totem so why he started to use her totem as his makes no sense.
They hadn't aged which means that Cobb is seeing them as he remembers them
Jake Whitaker
But they had aged. If we go look at them in his dream and compare them to the kids at the end they're much older.
I love his little completing the maze sounds
The top is actually his wife’s totem. Cobb spins it because he knows it will fall (proving he’s awake) because for his wife it would infinitely spin while dreaming. Cobb’s totem is never explicitly identified, but it’s his wedding band. He only has his ring when he’s dreaming (outside of flashbacks before Mol dies).
