I was surprised to find that there were a lot of people who think he's still dreaming. Pretty much every thematic element presented is telling us that he's awake now. --- (He/Him) I write Naruto Fanfiction.

Giant_Aspirin 02/09/24 2:52:37 PM #8:	boxoto posted... but the official answer is that it doesn't matter, from what I've heard. Nolan admitted his movies aren't really meant to be figured out, just enjoyed. This means he doesn't really think all of these 'complicated' things through in a meaningful way and just does what seems cool. If you experience my film, you are getting it. I feel very strongly about that. I think that where people encounter frustrations with my narratives in the past sometimes, I think theyre slightly missing the point. Its not a puzzle to be unpacked.

Why does the ending to every movie always have to be tied up nicely in a tight little bow?

Just because an ending is ambiguous doesn't make the themes and concepts explored in the movie to be less than meaningful.

ItsNotA2Mer 02/09/24 4:38:01 PM #19:	Michael Caine once famously shared: When I got the script of Inception, I was a bit puzzled by it. And I said to [Nolan], I dont understand where the dream is. I said, When is it the dream and when is it reality? He said, Well, when youre in the scene, its reality. So get that if Im in it, its reality. If Im not in it, its a dream. --- It is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present, and a waste to live in the future.
