so you don't need to see a fully 3 dimensional depiction of any of the characters because they are leo's mental approximations of them.

think about it.

Saito was just *too* convenient. big client? check. ok. potential arch nemesis (if you fuck up the job)? check. ok.

has bigger fish to fry than kobo engineering? check.

able to get cobb out of trouble in congo? check. now, this could be the magic of movie coincidences, but dude shows up in the nick of time, with almost omniscient ability to save him.

now, saito also magically being able to call all U.S. law enforcement off of cobb's ass with one phone call from a plane 20 min prior to landing???

the kids might not even have been real. dude had dreams within dreams w/ mal. kids might have come from that, and he only had the perception of them, a mental sketch, that he latched onto as a source of stability when mal became unstable.

when he was on the phone w/ the kids, did you hear the switch in the age of the kids voices?

and the gramma was not on the phone, nor visible, when dude who was supposedly on the run for offing her daughter came to see the kids? word?

constructs within constructs within constructs.

the infinity mirrors (brilliant scene, btw) that ariadne set up during her 'training'.

perfect metaphor for the infinitely nested WHAT IF loops.

at the very least that's a plausible explanation for everything that happened.

also, it sets up the paradox of the thing that was cobb's undoing being the potential source of his salvation... Inception. oh. and that thing was a product of what? *his* mind.

dude could be bodying himself and pushing himself further and further down infinite levels of mental space.

horton hears a who after shooting up. shit is dope.




peace & blessings,
