to complete your viewing

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2011)

this aim of this review is to complete your viewing of Inception by clarifying 95% of the confusion people get from the plot. Reading this on the faq section tied all the lose ends in the film for me.
***spoiler*** Each level is dreamt by a different member of Cobb's team, and then Fisher's subconscious is brought in to fill it. The first level is dreamed by Yusuf, who then stays behind to drive the van and initiate a kick to bring them back. The second level is dreamt by Arthur, who then stays behind to put them in the elevator and initiate another kick. The third level is dreamed by Eams, who again stays behind to plant explosives on the building, which drops them and initiates another Kick. The final level is Limbo. Limbo is a shared environment not limited to a single subconscious. Limbo contains nothing, excep the remnants of whatever might have been built by someone who has been there before. Cobb has been there before, so limbo contains the buildings he and his wife built over the 50 years they spent there.
*********
the movie explained Limbo very briefly and quickly, so reading this certainly helped me understand the final parts of this film.
