Inception (2010)

[GLaDOS]

Yep. It kinda got confusing during the middle though, but up until the end everything wraps up together.

[Q?]

If Ariadne's role wasn't so clear maybe it would've helped, but I still loved it, slightly overrated.

anyone else see the large amount of irony in the question and the misused wording of the question itself?

watched it for the first time since I saw it in theatre and it's still as good, the PQ is great, no surprise here
the real surprise is that I watched a few seconds of the DVD for comparison and I failed to see the difference

Wow really? I thought that's almost impossible, especially for brand new titles. I guess I have to check it out myself.

When I popped my DVD version in I thought it looked really bad...

Correct, in the first part of the movie when Cobb and his partner Arthur are on the airplane, there is terrible banding all over it's interior walls.

Actually, they're totally different. It's an impossibility for the two to look the same.

Thats like saying a 2mb mp3 file (in your iTunes) sounds the same as the Audio CD version of the same song.

It's not a fair comparison or assessment if you put in the Blu-ray, then take it out, then put in the DVD for comparison. Your eyes re-adjust in the time it takes to switch.

The only true way to "A/B" something is to

1)have them playing side by side on the same model/brand TV with both TV's having the same settings

2)have a Blu-ray player playing the Blu-ray in one input, and a DVD player playing the DVD in another input, and switched between the two.

If you didn’t do either of the two things I've typed, it's not a fair assessment. I’ve been in the audio-video field far too long. Trust me.

I just assume he's from a different country

[Enigmatical]

[Show spoiler]so an interesting thing that i noticed watching the movie again is when Joseph Gordon Levitt tells Ellen Page that the totem helps you know that you are not in SOMEONE ELSE's dream, but he doesnt say anything about being in your own dream. also, can someone explain to me how Cillian Murphys character dies in the snow world and Leo/Ellen Page can just sedate themselves and find him? if you die, arent you supposed to be lost in limbo? how do they find him so easily?

[Show spoiler]I took it more that he was essentially hijacked into Limbo by Moll, and therefore they knew exactly where to look, where Moll was or where he imagined Moll was.

ahhh, now that makes sense. but in that case, who is the dreamer? leo? and who's subconscious is filling it?

[Show spoiler]Hmm not so sure on that one, I think the dreamer is Leo, from the previous dream but then again it may still be Murphy's character's dream and Leo's sub is invading it.

I may be off on that one though.

[goresnet]

Getting this tomorrow from Netflix. Seems from this thread that it'll be well worth the wait!

Here is an example of why spelling is important. The names of the characters all had meanings in regards to their roles in the story. Cobb's late wife was named "Mal".

Also, do not forget in the beginning of the film when they are trying to pull off that heist, and Cobb's wife keeps interfering and getting involved negatively in the mission, due to Cobb unable to control his subconscious in that dream.

They are able to follow because they are already so deep into the dream levels that if they go any deeper they will end up in limbo anyhow since there is no more constructed dreamspace. Limbo is described as "unconstructed dreamspace." And, since that is a space that is shared as a general space by all in the dreamshare experience, if you go to limbo you will end up in the same limbo as anyone else in the dreamshare as you, regardless of how you get there.

Limbo is EVERYBODY'S dream. NOBODY is populating it! There is nobody else in there but those dreaming + Mal. Cobb's projection of Mal (the representation of his own guilt) is so strong that it is able to penetrate that deep. THAT is how psychologically traumatized Cobb is about feeling his wife's death was his fault.

Moll Mal, it really did not matter for the question I was responding to. And the majority of people would not know the spelling of her name as it is never made clear in the movie if I remember it correctly (except credits, i could be wrong), so the correct way to spell Moll is how I spelled it, in real life, no self respecting person would ever want their child to be name Mal, as it means bad or ill in French. I do understand the meaning thing you are mentioning and it did occur to me as I was watching the film, nonetheless, even though I spelled it Moll in my head. So it may matter but not as much as for the question I responded to.

I doubt that Mal was her full name. I'm guessing that Mal is the short/familial form of her full name. Maybe "Malerie" or something like that? So, it's completely feasible as a name. It definitely has some extreme metaphorical aspects to being used in that particular characters case.

As for someone naming their child Mal being something "no self-respecting person would ever name their child?" Who are you to say what anyone else would or would not do? How many people in North America (let alone the world) know that Mal in French means ill or bad? You are obviously ignorant to the fact that many people are ignorant of other cultures and languages.

EDIT: IMDB lists the character as named "Mal." So, YOU are wrong in thinking that it is spelled "Moll."

the bass response in this movie is crazy.....had the windows shaking and kids running for cover
