Inception

Everyone goes into everyone else’s dream to have a big fight, but when that doesn’t work, they go into someone in the dream’s dream to have a big fight. Everything gets terribly confusing and now no one is really sure if they went to see Inception or just dreamt that they went to see Inception.

Bloopers

At the end of the film, when the spinning top is spinning, it wobbles just a little. They should just have redone that so it’s just a nice smooth spin.

In the hotel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character walks past a lecture room in which a man is stood in front of the class wearing just his underwear. This is from a random dream that was happening at the same time as filming.

Quotes

“Who am I to disagree, I travel the world and the seven seas, everybody’s looking for something.”

Duration: Really, impossible to tell. How do you know how look a dream is. They feel eternal, but they could well be instantaneous. That’s too big a question for a film ‘humour’ site to tackle, I think.
