I loved it too.

I don't buy into all the alternate meanings bollocks though. The storyline is very much as you see it. It's nice to think that the whole thing could have been a dream but really that was never the intention of Christopher Nolan. Films are very rarely anything but as you see them. Especially Hollywood films. Whacky alternate storylines are the sole domain of fans with overactive [not that that is a bad thing] imaginaitons.

I appreciate that the film made people think but a lot of the dumb mainstream crowd it did this to could have gave their brain a workout anytime they wanted. Like picking up a book. Or a better movie that wasn't advertised to them as explicitly. It just annoys me when something 'intelligent' is handed to the switched off nation and they eat it up and brandish their newfound cultural knowledge the rest of us had all along at any given opportunity. This isin't directed at you and I'm finding it rather difficult to express and put into words but whatever. Mini rant over .

No, I mean I do see your point, though I think that he was still dreaming at the end

Oh also another thing I liked about it was that the whole idea of invading someones dreams was something completely different as well, and new ideas in films are hard to come by these days (you'll probably now give me a list of 700 films about the same thing!)
