SPOILER (sort of)


One cool gun related thing I remember is when he'd catching the shell casings as the eject. I think that's the first time I've seen that in a movie and it looked pretty cool. Except it didn't make sense really. He was in a dream, are the dream CSI going to come after him? I don't know, maybe in movie world a shell casing hiting the floor is louder than a suppressed gunshot.

I think even in a dream world, it still follows most principles and laws that governs the real world, though one would wonder why they don't summon jet packs or guns with infinite ammo. They never explain what they really CAN'T do in the dream world or be aware that this is a dream and that pain doesn't work.

I mean, pain exists in the dream world for some reason, yet shooting yourself in the head gets you out of it.

I'd totally go see this movie if the dreams featured in the film were anything like mine. Zombies, hot chicks, S&W's, and gratuitous violence. Hell yeah

I'm just glad that they didn't try to make to stupid quasi-scientific explanation of how they're able to go into people's dreams. Most other directors would have had some scene where they talk about they reroute the impulses of the brain using super focused radiated unobtanium. Luckily Nolan knows what he is doing.

Also I see your point about the limits of what they can do. I mean it's implied that they can just dream things up, like the grenade launcher, so why not just dream up an APC and some heavy machine guns? Maybe it's like the Matrix, some rules can be bent while others can be broken.

I think in the dream world, when you really are experiencing it fully aware, your mind has to comprehend the world of the dream, create natural laws and rules without turning it into a chaotic hurricane.

I just saw this tonight on a date. It was an awesome movie, and it got me a girlfriend. The ending is debatable though. Personally I think it was reality. (hopefully that didn't spoil too much)
