    Taking a break from politics for my theory of #Inception Also, my ranking #ChristopherNolan of movies. What's yours?https://arcdigital.media/the-ultimate-is-inception-a-dream-theory-11152a73a226 …

        how can we accept any of the "rules" if they are told us within a dream? Why would Cobb's mind create a narrative? #Inception

        Fair point. But that's why I compared it to philosophical works. Nolan lying about the real rules tricks the viewer with no reveal. No value

        I think "top doesn't matter/Cobb is a peace" interpretation is what works best. Ambiguous ending encourages debate, rewatches.

        I like that interpretation of the ending too. Though my theory doesn't challenge it.

        so would you say the journey Cobb takes through the movie is an escape from the dream state or escaping the limbo of his guilt?

        Guilt. Basically coming to terms with himself.

        so his subconscious creates a character-driven narrative as a means to affect that escape? Might be something to all this...

        my main problem with whole "Everything's A Dream" #Inception theory is that it makes everything in movie suspect, meaningless.

        I disagree with that (and explained why in the article). Because the movie's about dreams, it's not the "it's all a dream" TV trope.

        god is Twitter a maddeningly unsuitable place to debate a great movie like #Inception. Like trying to type with your elbows...

        Dark Knight, Inception, Memento. Your opinion of The Prestige and my opinion of the Prestige are wildly different. It was good not great imo

        re: #Inception would not discipline & specificity of tasks by others explain why only Cobb's subconscious interferes?
