Red face So let's talk Inception (spoilers if you're some kind of fag that hasn't seen it)

This reddit thread peaked my interest in the theories of the movie again


http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/g2v4c/mind_blown/


I'm liking this one:

Quote:
* Cobb = Target of the inception all along; Theseus
* Ariadne = plays the same role as Ariadne in the Greek myth (helping Theseus out of the labyrinth)
* Mal = The Minotaur

Ariadne throughout the movie can be seen pretty frequently wearing a red sweater. According to the mythos, Ariadne helps Theseus out of the labyrinth with a ball of red fleece.

That was just my thought. Clearly other interpretations of the film's meaning and purpose are perfectly valid as well. Also this argument doesn't really suggest that it was or was not reality in the final scene, but re-watching the film with the perspective that Cobb is the target of the inception renders an entirely new, different experience. Seriously, do it. Ariadne spends so much time going out of her way to counsel Cobb about his emotional and psychological issues that it becomes suspicious.

It's awesome on blu-ray.

Just read this and it's something that I also concluded the last time I watched the movie a few months back:
Quote:
My take is that he never woke up from whenever he went under in Yusuf's basement. He tries to spin the totem, but Saito walks in on him and he drops it. Never spins it again.

Fuckin A, Nolan is the best director out there.


Guy hasn't made a bad movie. Guy hasn't even made a movie that isn't great.


Following = Great
Memento = Great
Insomnia = Great
Batman Begins = Great
The Prestige = Great
The Dark Knight = Great
Inception = Great
The Dark Knight Rises = I'm guessing it's going to be great.

i think calling insomnia 'great' is a stretch.

if images were not allowed on reddit that site would be the worst place on the internet

somehow every single string of words someone has typed there makes me want to pop my eyeballs


the wedding ring thing is kind of neat. i would have never noticed it myself

of course it would be, all the jokes are based on VISUAL humor

if all our internets were still on 56k modems then they'd have to rely on only text but that's not the case now is it
