*Nolan, a genius. Period. With Inception, he created the perfect harmony of science fiction and philosophy. Worth all the money you spend on a theater ticket, and more.
By the way, who thinks the soundtrack for this movie is absolutely brilliant as well? Hans Zimmer hardly fails, and he has created fantastic music once again.*

I was about to point this out .. .. yeah, the sound track was a master piece and according the situation. the suspense and thriller on the screen was amazingly supported by the soundtrack ..
"I think that everything after the phone call to his children is a dream. The meeting in the helicopter with Saito is part of the dream, his initial level of "inception" for getting home to his kids. That is the reason why there are no clean breaks from location to location. You never know HOW he gets there...he's just THERE. Notice when he gets Adriadne...they just APPEAR together dreaming with Arthur...how did they get there? Same when he goes to Mombassa...he's just THERE...as is Saito. They go get the chemist, then the next thing you know, they are all just THERE together at the "hideout". I think it was all concocted by Cobb in level one of his dream.
Remember that he is the best at this, so he could easily manipulate his own mind into thinking that he is 4 levels deep in a dream, within a dream, especially since he has already been to limbo. I think he actually tries an "inception" on himself, and creates all of these characters while in the first level of his own dream. Similar to the movie "Identity" these people are all parts of his own mind. He is always teaching, which means that he knows everything, thus helping with the notion that he is always in control. In the end, he is still somewhere, in a self-induced dream, and he probably set the timer for eternity or some far away time where he will never be awoken. Because in reality, he could never get his children back, but after the phone call and hearing their grandmother telling them that "He will NEVER be back" he gave himself the idea to trick himself and "incept" the idea that he can and will get back."
I think the entire movie was a dream in which he gets rid of his crazy ass wife who nags him in every version of his reality, and gets back to his perfect kids who never change.
Great movie. I really enjoyed it. I do have a couple of question, which I will put in spoilers in case anyone reading this hasn't seen the movie. Don't read the spoiler if you haven't seen the movie and plan to!
inception
[spoiler]So towards the end when they all wake up from all the dreams on the airplane, wouldn't Fischer recognize all the people around him as being part of his dream? And then wouldn't he realize that he was just played? Or is it, the subject whose dream they all share and infiltrate, has no memory of the dream? If that is the case, (having no memory of the dream), was that ever stated in the beginning of the film? Because if it was, I missed it. Can someone tell me when this was mentioned, if it was. Secondly if you have no memory of the dream, and can't recognize all those around you who were in your dream, why would you remember the actual inception (the idea that was planted in your dream)? I'm having a little trouble reconciling this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
