Has this come to fruition? Its been so long since I’ve seen Memento(which stars Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano aka Trinity and Cypher from the Matrix movies). Not too long since I’ve watch The Prestige.. but I had not realized Christopher Nolan is behind all three movies. Also premise of a magic trick as described in The Prestige is about 3 “acts” vis a vie the three movies! As you can see I really need your mentioned theory for sake of my sanity.

I saw the film again,and like almost anyone there is no certainty about what actually happens in the film.I’ve read about three hours of your various blogs on this film with the arguments and I need to ask the basic questions which have not entirely been verified and there still seems to be some confusion.I do hope you/anyone else answer these questions with your knowledge of the film with references/quotes/finest details within the movie as that’s our only tool to possibly come to a conclusion.I want to come to a conclusion,but I can’t if I can’t even get past the basics.

1.The totem – What exactly is the purpose of the totem.You’ve confused me in your blogs to saying that the totem makes you realise whether your in your own dream or someone else’s dream(is there a reference within the movie that says this).However,from the movie and other comments it seems that it helps you realise whether your in a dream or in a reality(Ariadne says when she hols the chess piece in her hand).There’s a u huge difference between the two.
2)Cobb’s totem – What exactly is his totem?How can you all assume that the spinning top is Cobb’s totem.Dosen’t he say that totem is actually Mal’s creation and as a result it’s her totem.a totem is unique to one single person,as only him/her must be able to feel the weight/balance of the object.So when Leo is spinning the totem,how do you know it works for him?But again Nolan confuses the hell out of us by giving so much significance to it.he ends the movie with the spinning top(presuming it to be leo’s totem).But how is it his,if it’s mal’s.For all we know that totem was being duplicated/manipulated by mal the entire time if they shared the totem.
3)Mal’s inception – It’s clear the cobb wanted to incept Mal’s mind with the idea that she was still dreaming and had to come out of reality.But HOW DID HE ACTUALLY DO IT?He says that she had kept something hidden far away in some safe in the house.There a totem is shown to be inside the safe.So was the totem actually Cobb’s creation in order to incept mal?(I’m guessing).
4)Limbo – Is there only one or more layers of Limbo.When someone is in Limbo it’s almost impossible to distinguish it being a reality or a dream.So can you realise your in limbo and still continue to stay there.He says cob and mal were in limbo for 50 years(during this time did leo know that he was in limbo,Did mal know?It seems she was too detached which is why leo decided to try inception.If yes,how does one go into a deeper layer of Limbo.Taylor presumes that there are two layers of limbo in the end but Cobb is quoted as saying “I have to find saito HERE”.You do raise good points about him being washed away on the beach like that though.How does one come out of limbo.Is it natural death/is it suicide/is it a kick.How does ariadne go back to the van jumping level whereas fisher goes back to the snow layer.First of all – When cobb and ariadne decide to dream share(do they actually go into Limbo) which is where ariadne pushes fisher and a few seconds later jumps herself.If that’s limbo,how do they know that they are in Limbo.Isn’t the whole point of Limbo not being able to figure out that you are in it(or atleast quickly enough).

Obviously,I have a lot more questions but i’d appreciate it if you could overcome the basics.Please don’t refer some other blog,if you want to answer it in short it’s fine but do so.

Believe you me as I’ve said I’ve spend a lot of time reading on your various blogs.I think your theories of it all being a dream is a tad too far fetched.There’s not solid enough Proof.

Although anything is possible which is the whole point of the film in order to keep the audiences guessing.

AWAITING EXPLANATIONS

And about the argument, of they took such a “sedation”, [that’s why dying takes you to limbo, and you’ll be stuck there, until the limbo time is up(which never ends supposedly] was present here, and wasn’t in Mal & Cobb’s case, how can that be true, because, they mentioned specifically, in order to get to even layer 3, you need to be heavily sedated, which means Mal & Cobb also used similar kind of sedation. Am I wrong?
Am I missing something?

P.S. – You Idea of a separate “Reality” Layer, and all the movie was just a “dream” in itself, is so compelling, that I’m sure, everyone reading this had their mind tickled! And it surely can be one of the possibilities of why did Nolan cut the film before the totem fell(or didn’t fall). Moments Like these, where completely different and completely plausible explanations can co-exist for a movie’s ending, make you admire the Brilliance of the Man’s Direction skills!

Goodnight and good luck.

Comments were made during an interview for a European news outlet while promoting the film Interstellar. Took me all of five minutes to find it online. I’m not your lackey so feel free to find it yourself since you appear to have a lot if time on your what hands, having taken the time to create such absurd theories such as this one.
FWIW, I have a personal connection to Nolan as he is a close family member on my brother in-law’s side. Believe what you will but this topic has come up at gatherings and he has candidly revealed the true ending. Be skeptical if you want but I wouldn’t dare leave any info that is traceable back to me or him. So believe me or not. Your choice. (I know a stubborn SOB like you will choose ignorance btw).

Once again, your theory is fun, but dead wrong.

Good night and good luck.

Hey there Deadpool…
Remind me where I can see this? This quote of Nolan’s that unequivocally shows he said that the top stops spinning? He would never ever say that. Obviously. Because it ruins the magic of his movie making. He instills doubt in absolutely everything that he creates in order to make you think. By telling the audience the “answer” he would be neutering his own creation.

Oh I’m sorry, I’m prattling on. You were getting a link to a video, or a post or some evidence somewhere that we could all read?

Goodnight and good luck.
