Confession: Yesterday, I screamed a stream of profanities inside a movie theater.
Seeing Inception. When the credits rolled.

The closest approximation of the Portuguese would be... "FUCK! YOU ASSHOLE BASTARD! FUCK YOU! SHIT! YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

If you've seen it, you'll agree with me. The people around me didn't seem to disapprove much, either.

1. I saw it, and don't agree.
When the credits started rolling, I LOL'd, but when some of the audience started screaming profanities, I was LMAO.

Partly because I have seen The Prestige, and mainly because I didn't give a shit about that douchebag Cobb and just wanted the film to be over so I could go to the restaurant next to the theater and drink those mojitos that had been calling my name for the last hour.

2. Just what were you so upset about?
Not every ending can come tied up in a pretty bow for you. I thought the ending was about as appropriate as it could be.

:Spoilers:



The point is that it didn't really matter because it was real to HIM. For the record, I don't believe he was still dreaming.

3. I actually liked that sucker-punch of a cut. There was a "what a magnificent bastard" thing.
Christopher Nolan is CRUEL, man. He'll fuck you up. :thumbsup:

4. So why the profanity? Sounds like you got your money's worth.
The thing that I was a bit peeved about was the time compression. They seemed to suggest that it was linear throughout the various levels of dreams, but it certainly didn't seem that way. If the first dream was the one with Yusuf driving around like mad, then the final level should have been proceeding at 1/100th that speed. That never seemed to be the case. If it were, the van would have crashed within a minute or two once Cobb had gotten into that James Bond style snow fortress.
