Q. Why does time move faster within dreams?
So that we can have cool slow-mo shots
Dreams are unrestrained by physicality
Our brains are working at maximum capacity
Time is relative to the observer
Q. What makes us think Cobb might be dreaming (besides the top at the end)?
He is chased around the world by projection-like forces
In one of the final scenes he isn't wearing his wedding ring
He sees his children's faces at the end
He looks at Miles through a panel of broken glass
Q. When does Mal's projection allude to Mal's suicide?
In Limbo when she again tries to free Cobb of guilt
In Saito's dream when she asks Cobb if she could survive a jump
In Cobb's dream when she talks about the train
When they were building sandcastles on the beach and she goes for a "swim"
Q. What phrase do Saito and Cobb say to one another throughout the movie?
Lookin' good gurl
An old man, ridden with fear of death
An old man filled with guilt, withering away
An old man, filled with regret, waiting to die alone
Q. Why does Cobb feel so much guilt?
He made Mal question reality, resulting in her suicide
He left the water running and flooded their house
He accidentally pushed Mal out the window during their anniversary
He tricked Ariadne into dream building for him
