It all depends who was the original dream sharer. Leo does explain that the whole point of the totem and to keep it to yourself is so that you may recognise it in the dreams. Obviously Leo knew all about Mal's totem hence if Mal and Leo were in a dream conceived by Leo, he would have been able to replicate the totem behavior or atleast Leo's subconsious.

Also the totem specifically tells if you are in some one else's dream or not. it dosent apply something that totem holder dreams of and is a part of.
 
Didn't Leo find out about the totem in the dream? He said he found her locker and the totem in it, so Mal would have spun it to see if she was for real or not? If she was fake, she still chose to ignore it until Leo found out. Kind of like the end where Leo spins the totem but sees his children and then doesn't care if the totem falls or not.
 
Isn't limbo caused due to the extra-strong sedative in the Indian chap's (called Yusuf haha) - the chemist's juice - which prevents you from waking up? BTW just noticed Dileep Rao was also in Avatar small role as a lab tech...

Also, see Row Three
 
People are thinking way too much into this. Nolan didn't bring out the mind**** big-guns out with this one like he did in Memento.
The movie was pretty self-explanatory as far as I am concerned. And the ending was shot that way for the simple reason that it was freakin' cool.
 
The ending was Memento was way too complex...I meant it required a good amount of intelligence just to know that there's a TWIST in the movie...to actually know what the twist was you have to be really really smart(for the 1st time viewing

Also from my POV, Saito is old in limbo because Saito died much earlier, and remember minutes can mean decades in limbo, Cobb is young because he died later and not because he knew he was in limbo, remember he was confused when brought to Saito's place, only after looking at the spinning totem does he realises/remember why he is there......

Finally someone states what I was thinking all along :D.
 
Read this on IMDB, found it pretty convincing :

Evidence to Reality: At the end of the film Cobb's children are wearing different, albeit similar clothing compared to the clothes they wear in Cobb's subconscious. Although many comment that the children have not aged at the end, it appears likely this is a mistaken view, as IMDb cast credits show that two pairs of children were cast for the two different ages (about two years apart). Also, in the opening moments you get a glimpse of Leo's hand. Specifically, he's wearing his wedding ring. Now, if you follow the rest of the movie keeping an eye out for this you will notice that he only has the ring on when he's in the dream world. At the end of the movie he isn't wearing the ring." If the ring only appears when he's in a dream and he's not wearing at the end of the film, that could be confirmation that in fact, the top does stop spinning after the credits and Cobb is at last in the real world.

Getting killed in limbo is the only way to get out of the dream, its getting killed in levels which takes you to limbo because sedatives are powerful and ur mind has nowhere else to go, :P...

I thought Dom and Ariadne went into limbo/where his wife is before Saito died. The Saito being older is the one thing I didn't understand.

Some people say that if you listen to the sound after the screen blacks out, you can hear the top drop.
 
^ That seems like a really good explanation!

I wondered why Mal was sitting on the opposite window's ledge. It just somehow bothered me.
 
Hey guys.

The spinning top is not the totem.Its just a distraction.

I'm inclined to believe its his wedding ring that's the real totem.

Dream Sequence:Ring Present.Wife's Alive

Reality:Ring Absent.Wife's Dead

No one mentions the time ration here..I mean no one has realized that the time ratio plays an the most important part..if u die/get a kick 10 min later than others, and if time is 10times faster in the dream below, you will wake up at approx same time..so if someone dies 10 decades later and the levels are deep enough(4 as it appears in the movie), while riding the kick up the levels, they might have made it at approx the same time, albeit a few nano seconds late..

So they all woke up at approx the same time in the plane, and remember there is an air hostess who is with them, she might have removed the wires, and even if u need to get out of the dream to remove wires, when waking out of a real dream, ur disoriented for a min, and here they had sedatives, so i guess there was plenty of time to remove the wires..Even when waking up together, the sedative's disorientation gives soem time to remove the wires..
 
Cobb could have just murdered Mal and then committed suicide to come back to the lower level of dream. He could have repeated this and just reached the "real world."

There was no need of doing an "inception" + "lover train suicide."
