Inception

<< < (16/26) > >>

De_El:
I kind of thought the point of the top spin at the end was that, really, the hypothetical result of the "test" was irrelevant. It was just a parting shot on how easy it is to suggest doubt. It wasn't even a fully formed idea, just the kernel of one, so to speak.

RallyMonkey:
Whatever happened to the top is irrelevant, as the whole point of the object is being the only person who knows how it's weighted and moves, and as he mentioned in the movie, it belonged to his wife. So the results are moot.

Lines:
I was of the understanding that he took it after she died and made it into his totem. So really, no one alive other than him knows how it feels.

RallyMonkey:
The point of the idol is to make sure you're not in someone else's dream. So if the top continued spinning, of course it's a dream. But if the top doesn't stop spinning, it doesn't mean it's not a dream. Because the point is not the spinning of it, but just if it feels right to DiCaprio's character.

I was only mentioning the fact that his wife knew the weight and feel of it, because if we were to take the "It's all a dream" route, there's nothing to say that his wife was in fact dead, as we would have no idea where the dream began.

scarred:
new theory: inception is the sequel to shutter island and really dicaprio's character just hallucinated all of this
