The whole movie is a dream.

This is a very simple explanation. And if we follow Ockham's razor, the simpler explanation should prevail. The whole movie is a dream. DoCaprio's character is a man whose wife suicided. He hasn’t told his kids yet, and cannot face them as he feels guilty about it. His father in law (Caine) takes care of them. He is haunted by the wife’s death and wished there were a form of psychotherapy so he could return to a more normal life. He is on a business trip and flies back home. In the plane, he falls asleep (maybe after watching David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive?), and ... starts dreaming. The whole movie is his dream. All the passengers around him are assigned a role in the dream, including his father in law. Except Ariadne who is the exact equivalent of DiCaprio in Titanic, an angel that disappears at the end. Both are not in the passengers list, both guide the hero and save him, both dive at the end. Ariadne is Jack, DiCaprio is Rose in a role inversion.

  • 枫下拾英 / 心灵感悟 / Inception, The Matrix, Vanilla Sky 都是人对什么是现实世界的一种思考。At the end, no one can answer the simple question of "what is real". You can't prove you are not something imaginative in my mind, and I can't convince I am not living in a dream.
    • 喵。蝴蝶梦我,我梦蝴蝶。
    • 梦境里,梦境外,哪里是梦境,那里又是现实。VANILLA SKA是很久之前的电影了,汤大帅哥演的,当时看了之后,我琢磨了好久。。看了inception之后,觉得这个梦境更悬,一层接一层,一层接一层,最后到limbo.觉得会有续集,因为不知道陀螺最后到底停没停。
      • 如果没停,还是在梦境。。the movie is very impressive, recommand to watch
        • Thanks for recommendation. I am interested in good movies.
          • Inception is probably the best movie in this decade
            • 知道了,喵。
            • oh come on its just 2011, just started, 9 years to go
              • 2011? In your parallel universe, we only have 1 year left to go.
              • 又见穿越~~
        • 我觉得停还是没停,真的不是重点~~
      • This open ending is up to each of us to interpret.
    • 你全看懂了?厉害~
      • 全想明白了,我现在活在第4层,正和太太慢慢变老。50年后,老死了,就进入limbo.
        • 我等着解读DVD了,不记得年轻的Cobb在年老的Saito 的limbo里怎么相遇的;最后的回家是第几层?
          • By the logic of the movie, if u die in limbo, u wake up to the real world.
            • ding~~
    • 即便是有人回答,我们也未必能明白。比如:问:WHAT IS REAL? 答:缘起性空
      • How can I know this answer is not from the other me
        • 很喜欢你这个other me,就这个other me继续聊下去的话,一定很有意思。只是不知道,是不是FROM OTHER ME,对你的思考、观察会有什么影响哪?
    • 昨天也去看了。 这类电影的出现,反映了人们对现实生活的严重不满。电影的结尾很有争议呀
      • "There is a THIRD possibility -- It (the totem) neither stopped...nor kept spinning,"The story ended before either could happen."
      • there is another Possibility.. the totem is NOT his
        there is another Possibility.. the totem is NOT his ...u cant judge by that ,,,it belong to his wife and he only got it in the dream world....he said it himself once somebody touches ur totem it is useless...it was not his ,,,,his totem was not physical,,,it was actully his Kids face ,,,it ti the reason he never could see their faces till the end . it is why he avoided looking when his wife tried showing them to him in the 3rd level. he would have accepted that as reality

      • 现代文明高度发展,无穷无尽何时是个尽头?物质文明和科技文明能提高人类的生活质量,延长人类的寿命,但人类的精神世界却愈来愈苍白和空虚。这时宗教就有用武之地了。
