It's not open ended, because his totem isn't actually the spinning top. It's his ring.

Something a lot of people forget about good writing is that the question is more important than the answer

[–] kilodelta 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Good writing? Ha.

Inception makes a point of introducing us to "The Kick". You remember the scene. We all remember the scene, because it is crucial to the story telling.

So the plan was to put a guy to sleep, go a few layers deep into the minds of multiple people, all of whom need a kick to wake up...and they decide to do this on an AIRPLANE.

An AIRPLANE. In flight. Across the ocean. All of them dozing off in first class, in various stages of sleep. In turbulent, kick inducing, skies.

Cherry on top - Buddy bought the airline just to make it easier.

Christopher Nolan tries to hide his shoddy writing with flashy edits and quick quips about the plot, hoping to distract the viewer from his lacking skill.

Have you taken a plane in the last decade?

[–] kilodelta 2 points 1 year ago

Yes. None over the Pacific, but 4 over the Atlantic - and three of them had bumpy moments.

A bunch over Eastern Canada/Eastern seaboard. All of those were small commuter flights - so all of them had some bump.

But to your point - Yes, I'll agree with you that flights now are a lot smoother than from when the movie came out.

Oh I wasn't trying to imply Inception has good writing. Just that good writing uses that particular technique. Inception is fine for what it is if a bit convoluted

He wasn't in the dream at the end, any scene that has Michael Cain in it is real life.

That's the neat part : you don't

Yoo, that's pretty creative
