inception(second part)

the plan is actually based on three layers,with Ariadne designs the structure of the dream for each level ,and guides the dreamer through his dream based on what she has designed.and the subject subconscious,in this case is the Fischer's is being brought into the dreams,and those people follow along ,they know they are dreaming hence their subconscious are not affected.on the first level ,they kidnap Fischer ,ask him about the combination of password his dad has told him ,but he knows nothing of it ,then they threaten him with his uncle(it's rather is eams,disguised as his uncle,and convinced him to believe that he's been beaten and tortured badly) out of sheer intuition and fear ,Fischer says a series of numbers(528-491) which later he uses to open a safe containing his deepest secret,and his uncle(eames)suggests to him at this level that his father isnt what he seems like,he loves fischer in his own way ,the first idea planted.then they get away in a van and cobb tells him to drive carefully because the dream below will get more unstable before they enter into Aurthur dream while yusuf stays behind ,monitoring the situation on the first level .the rest arrive at a hotel ,eames disguises as a hot blond girl,flirting and hence distracts fischer of the fact that he's dreaming,Cobb takes up the role as mr,charles,who is the security of subconscious, trying to convince Fischer that he's dreaming by pointing to him the strangeness of his surroundings ,such as the weird weather and gravity shifting,there are people trying to infiltrate his mind and steal info from him,trying to make him believe that people around are against him (rather it's the security force,which is the defense system of Fischer trying to protect him from Cobb's invasion),turning him against his own subconscious,.as fischer becomes aware of the fact that he's in a dream ,his projection start to seek out dreamer,then the memories from first level started to come back,Fischer remembers he was kidnapped and asked about the password ,but he couldn't remember who did that to him(as Cobb team wore masks all the times to conceal their identities)and the memories seems vague and fuzzy.and he thinks that it's the reality when he was kidnapped,but in fact it's only level one )his true self is sleeping on a plane flying to Los angelas.and as he remembers back ,it seems that he's generating the idea himself ,this facilitates the inception as it will be planted more deeply and solid in the subject's mind.and cobb asks him did he see his uncle being beaten ,twisting the fact ino something that his uncle trying to sntach the company from his hands ,and here his projection of uncle peter Fischer drops a line about he should create something for himselves-now Fischer ,angry and feeling betrayed ,he decides to ''go'' into his uncle 's mind,which in turns favours Cobb's team ,as Fischer is convinced unwaveringly that he's doing inception of his own on his uncle,Cobb is able to go even deeper into Fischer's subconscious,and Ariadne asks '' whose subconscious are we in ?'' ,i know exactly how she feels that time ,the feelings puzzlement and confusion stacks high over each other.Aurthur is in charge of second level.

on third level ,Mal bubbles up again ,and she shoots Fischer ,Cobb,caught up in his own guilt and unmasked grief ,unable to pull the trigger in time to stop Mal.and in the first place ,a kick is designed to bring people from one level below to the level in which the kick is initiated.before that,they have taken sedative,specifically told that it will not disrupt the equilibrium of the ears,and kicks from multiple layers are enough to bring them back.but the kicks need to be timed perfectly so that each will work in order,in a flawless sequence,one after the other,hence music acts as a cue to the people in the level below so as to synchronise each kick.this is shown when yusuf is forced to start the countdown earlier,and he put the headset over Aurthur's ears to warn him with the music that the kick is coming to wake them up from second level but they need to be awake at that time for the kick on first level to work and bring them back to first level.So Arthur blew up the elevator on second level to wake them up from the snow fortress dream so they could then be woken up by the car hitting the water on first level.and that's why Cobb said that they'd missed the first kick when the van fell off the bridge,because they are on 3rd level ,and their bodies on 2ND level havent been awakened from this snow fort dream.starting the kick on the first level before the people on second level have been woken up will not bring them back.then they could only wait for the 2ND kick ,which was when the van plunged into water(worked exactly like scene when Cobb's body had been dunked into a bathtub full of water ,he felt water exploded and rushed in from everywhere ,flooded over him and woke him up from his dream)i simply assumed that it's the way those kicks work ,since the scenes on 2nd and third levels were interspliced with the van going down to the water in the first level,and it follows this sequence-explosion in the snow fort,the propelling of elevator against gravity and then the moment the van hit the water )and the physics of each level gets destabilised by what's happening above ,which is shown when the van gets chased off the bridge by the pursuers and they get into a state of free falling in a slow motion .Aurthur starts to experience floating in air ,losing gravity and the hotel floor goes down ,askew and causes snow avalanche on 3rd level.because the gravity is gone and he says how can he provide a kick without gravity ,then he is forced to change the plan ,removes the charges fixed on the ceiling, he ties ,straps the body of crew on top of each other ,and pulling them into the elevator.and the fighting scene in the absence of gravity will make your jaws drop.Fischer 's death means the failure of mission.as mentioned earlier,when you die in dream with sedative in your blood ,you may not wake up, instead you lost in the limbo .

the kick on 3rd level which is the explosion of the snow fort is an addition to the plan as mal has shot fischer,they decide to go deep into 4Th level to look for him and bring him back,and it is not decided until cobb and ariadne go down to the limbo that eams set up the charges around the place.before they go,eams says something ,he says if the kick doesnt work he's gone anyway,means that he's not sure weather the kick will pull them out from limbo ,but decides to try.and in limbo,they see the warning sign ,the thunderstorm which happens when the resuscitation occurs-and just that after ariadne pushed fisher off the building ,he's back to 3rd level.and when the explosion occurs,the buildings in limbo collapse and crumble down ,but they are not pulled out ,so ariadne improvises it by jumping out from the window ,i'm not sure if this is because she's in limbo ,and you need extra ,addictive effect(the falling sensation and the explosion),to wake you up, the deeper the state you are in.here a biggest secret revealed ,Mal,Cobb's deceased wife ,was once be with him in this limbo ,as they got too deep into their dream and forgot about the reality ,they built their own world and spent like 50 years together there,and gradually,Mal lost track of time ,and convinced that the world she's in was actually reality when it's not,she even locked her own totem-the top away in a safe ,unable to face the truth,no longer felt like able to be a part of the real world,and when Cobb found out the top in the safe of Mal's subconscious ,horrified and feared by the fact that his wife wanted to stay here forever,he did an inception on her, planted an idea in her mind ,that the world she's in wasn't real ,and the children were waiting for her,and death was the only escape.he placed the constantly spinning totem ,in the safe -which was behind the doll's house,and the idea was simple , reminded her that she's in a dream world,it's not that she always saw the spinning top,but it's always there spinning in her subconscious ,making her feel like as if she's still trapped in a dream .that's why she killed herself by jumping from the building when they finally got back to the real world.the idea planted ,highly contagious and deadly like viral infection,spread beyond control,infested and corrupted her own mind ,made her think that she's still in the limbo ,or dream within a dream ,and was yet to see her children ,and death was the only way to escape.''You're waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away. You can't be sure where it will take you. But it doesn't matter - because we'll be together.'' the riddle Cobb told her when they laid themselves down on the train track.feelings of poignancy and unspeakable hollowness rising within me.but i didn't feel sad over their death ,basically because i know that it's not real ,they didn't just die ,but came back to the real world ,but the thought and sense of foreboding of something metallic and heavy running over your body while you laid on the icy cold track ,staring into each other eyes ,hands holding, fingers intertwined ,feared to be forced apart,every inch of your skin tingled with anticipation ,and of a sick thrill of death ,was death waiting ,was death only breath away from you now?you cant be sure ,yet you are waiting ,drown in his light blue eyes ,feeling languid and weak yet excited that you are going home,and finally it's over.and you wake up feeling emotional overload ,time has just passed several hours in reality ,yet you felt like as if you've lived for a decade ,the hysteria,nervous breakdown ensues,and the fear and burden when all the questions are answered.

so why didn't they resuscitated saito in the same way as they saved Fischer with the defibrillator?Saito is shot on the first level of the dream, but doesn't die until the third. If they resuscitated him on the third level, it would only bring him back to the second where he was still dying, and if he survived that, then it would only bring him back to the first where he was dying the fastest anyway.(from some calculation i did, the extent of time moves may seem to slow or rather lengthen as you go deeper,means if he's destined to die in 5 mins in level 1 ,then it'd take him an hour or so to die in the next level ,the the effect doubles ,so on.) Meanwhile, since Fischer was shot on the third level and sent to Limbo, his "bodies" on the other two levels were totally fine. The kick from the defibrillator timed correctly with the falling sensation he experienced after Ariadne pushed him off the building was enough to bring him back to normal level 3 so he could complete the mission.and does the top spinning in the end stop at last ?i was sure i saw it start to wobble a bit towards the end ,but then the screen turned black ,i think it's the reality ,as his children finally turned to look at him before running into his arms ,they looked so sweet.i hope he was truly back to his own home ,reunited with his children ,but the director provided an ambigious ending which i like very much ,made me ponder for some times .
