No, it was just convoluted and poorly written.
No one called them out on it because they didn't want to sound stupid.

i was high as balls, so idk if i got what everyone else got when they'd "get it" but it super awesome!!!
It wasn't confusing at all. So long as you paid attention and bothered to listen to their explanations of what was happening, the only thing that could be interpreted as confusing was the semi-cliffhanger ending and the fact that stuff maybe wasn't explained as clearly as it could have been.
That about sums it up. A "person" is a free-thinking individual capable of using critical thinking skills and deduction, and able to follow trails of logic to lead to a simple answer. "People," on the other hand, are simple and ignorant creatures who cannot pay attention to a movie unless someone gets punched every five minutes, and are not capable of following storylines unless it is clearly and linearly layed out, and summarized every 10 minutes.kinapuffar said:
Unfortunately, for the sake of trying to appeal to the largest audiences, mainstream movies these days are made for people, not persons.
If you say you understood the film then you really didn't.
The film is extremely ambiguous, there is no one correct explanation. Most likely because Nolan couldn't think of a genuinely good plot and tried to pull a Donnie Darko in order for the idiots to think to hard about it and call it a masterpiece.
But specifically back to the topic, most of the people in here saying: 'it was really simple to understand blah blah' are the real idiots. This film is too ambiguous to have a definitive plot and explanation.

Well, your answer is very kind, but it seems to me that many people that say they understand did not submerged in the movie as much as people who did not understood it all.
The 2 couple of children are even listed as having different ages in the credits. Many scenes are shot in a way to make us confused in Cobb's status. Is he awake when he "appears" in a French classroom and talks to his in-law (Michael Kane), who openly tells him to wake up? Didn't Cobb himself told Ariadne that you can never remember how a dreaming begins, only being there?
My point is that Nolan took 10 years polishing and perfecting that script, and he received carte blanche from the studio, so I suppose the movie is a perfect rendition of what he whants to convey. No plot holes, just intentional misleading scenes and concepts.
Having said that, I believe he is trying to confuse us in layers of complexity. In short, if the movie is straight foward to you, maybe you didn't see all the layers and how they are misleadingly overlapped.

If you watch and pay attention to it from the beggining it's simple, if you start watching it in the middle or are simple then it's confusing.
I didn't have a problem with it myself.

Err... no. The whole concept of how the dreams and such work is understandable, their objective is understandable, the manifestation of Cobb's wife is understandable, what dream layer they're in is understandable, the basic concepts of dreaming/being asleep in relation to real life are understandable, the nature of limbo is understandable, the characters' motivations are understandable. If someone was asked to recount the plot of the film, they could.Ubermetalhed said:
There's certainly a case to be made for certain parts of it about if they're actually dreaming and the film doesn't let on, but that doesn't mean you can't understand it. Ambiguity does not mean something is impossible to understand. It has a plot, it has characters, it has in-universe rules, it has themes; it is understandable.
It's not that the plot of Inception is "hard to understand," it's that the audience has to keep track of a lot of things in order to understand the flow of the plot. And that can get confusing.
Cobb has delusions about going back home and trying to still raise his kids while on the run. That is what the "wake up" is. In fact, here is Micheal Kane's quote about the ending: "If I'm there it's real, because I'm never in the dream. I'm the guy who invented the dream."flaviok79 said:
Actually there are quite a few plot holes.
Inception isn't really that confusing. If you pay attention to what is said throughout the movie, it's pretty straight forward. You don't need to be a genius to follow Inception.
Memento was easy to follow, the movie moved backwards. Simple as hell. I must say this "Primer" of which you speak suddenly has me interested. To IMDB.deehadley said:
Also, Inception was so straightforward it bored me, I was able to follow it while being half asleep and still understand it fully. I was seriously let down.
nah, just am annoyed that you have to call me dull because i'm make some minor mistakes you probably also did in the past.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
apology accepted. yeah, i did get the feeling you were being a kind of a dick, but that was more not getting the message. so yeah. i know i can have to spell check my stuff, but for some reason i just don't. maybe i'm just lazy or i think that i only can learn from making mistakes.
