Explaining the Plot of Inception

Warning - SPOILERS

So I did some reading today trying to find someone that shared my interpretation of Inception, but I couldn't find one, so I thought I'd go ahead and share it with you.

In short, I believe that Mal was correct about their world being fake, and Cobb was wrong.

When Mal and Cobb went deep into limbo together they lost all sense of reality. When Cobb finally came to the realization that it wasn't real, he convinced Mal using inception.

When they killed themselves, they didn't leave limbo and come back to reality, but instead, they went back to the first stage of the dream.

Cobb though they were back in real life, but Mal had the feeling that they were not. When she killed herself, she left the first stage, and went back to reality. Cobb however, believed that she had left reality, and killed herself, when in fact, he was still dreaming.

This theory is supported by many things. But perhaps the greatest evidence comes at the end, when his top does not stop spinning, and his kids looks exactly the same as the day he left, including the same outfits. This suggests that he is still in a dream, and in fact, never left the dream.

Also, if you look for dream like elements in his "real world" you'll notice things. For instance, how does he get to Africa to look for his "forger?" He steps out of his base of operations in Paris, and then he is suddenly in Africa. He said several times himself that one of the surest ways to tell if you are in a dream, is trying to think of how you got somewhere.

When he is in his apartment in Japan, and he spins his top, it is interrupted by his partner knocking on the door. We don't actually see it stop. Also, it is nighttime out the window, but when they go up to the helicopter, it is daytime.

When he is in the bathroom washing his face with water, and he spins the top, it falls off the counter, but doesn't actually stop spinning on his own.

All these and more suggest that he was always in a dream.

What are your thoughts?

I also have two alternative ideas.

Alternative 1:

Again, Cobb never reentered reality when he went deep into the dream with Mal. But instead of going back to the first stage of the dream when they killed themselves with the train, they actually went deeper into the dream, deeper into limbo. They went so deep, that they could never escape.

Alternative 2:

This one is a little different. What if they never got out of Saito's dream? Do you recall that when his partner was training Ariadne on how to build levels, he told her that she should make it a maze, to make it difficult to get out? And that she could create levels that were infinite loops by augmenting reality? Now recall how the movie started? From the ending. Cobb woke up on the shore of Saito's unconsciousness. And then suddenly, he was with a younger Saito. So if the movie starts how the movie ends, then that suggests that Cobb is in one big dream loop, created by someone (perhaps Saito) to keep Cobb going and going without ever realizing something is wrong.

If this is the case, then that means that Saito had elaborate subconscious defenses that ensnared and trapped Cobb, and he was never able to free himself from this botched job.

Russian Cult Worships Gadget Hackwrench

From odditycentral.com:

If you’ve never heard of the cute Gadget Hackwrench, she is a Disney character from the Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers cartoon series. This female mouse was the team’s pilot, mechanic and inventor. That’s all pretty impressive, but she’s hardly worthy of her very own cult, don’t you think?

Well, believe it or not, a group of Russian fans of Gadget Hackwrench have created a new religion, with the above mentioned cartoon character as the idol. They pray to posters of her, gather to talk about how incredibly great she is, compose songs about her, and spread stickers of Miss Hackwrench, wherever they go. It’s pretty unbelievable, but if Maradona has his own cult, why couldn’t Gadget Hackwrench?

Here’s what some of her worshipers think of their rodent goddess: “She is the divine being, the most untouched and perfect sibling of the great God on Earth”. “Why I love her? It’s a stupid question, how could I not love the Goddess?”. “She is strict, cute, optimistic and her level of technical knowledge is unachievable for a mortal being.”

Burger Made from Ground Bacon

What? No slices of bacon on top? No cheese? No mayo? What a pansy burger. From wired.com:

Having read about the difficulties people making such burgers have had keeping them together, I decided to add one large egg to the food processor along with the 19 slices of bacon. I ground the bacon and the egg together, then, using my hands, pulled the mixture out and used a hamburger press to make a burger. It is possible that my hands have been greasier at some point in my life, but if so I have (fortunately) forgotten it. I was not quite prepared for the raw burger to look like pure fat, and I must admit that it didn’t look very appealing. But it was for science, so I soldiered on!

(...)

Would I recommend it? Reservedly, yes, but mostly because afterward you can honestly say you’ve eaten a burger made out of bacon, and not many people can say that. If you don’t care about the “honor” of it, I suggest sharing it with at least one other person, because it’s not likely you’ll actually want to eat more than half. I suggest uncured bacon so the salt doesn’t make your blood pressure spike. Cook it the way I did unless you want it to bathe in its own fat as it cooks. Oh, yes, and wash it down with something with a bite to it, because otherwise the taste of the bacon fat will likely overwhelm your palate.

15 Dogs Wearing Ties

Dogs are so cute, and they make really great BBQ pets. Some people with sad lives spare time like to dress up their dogs, because they are delusional think it's cute. And I'd have to agree, just look at them, they think they are people! Silly puppies.
