YES, you nailed a lot of the things I loved about this movie. That it worked as a narrative even though there was no strict antagonist. I love what you say about everybody being the hero of their own story. Cillian Murphy made me wibble so hard with the pinwheel. Tom Hardy! Omg, I was like "..." when I saw his name at the end, and I was like OMG THAT WAS SHINZON????????? WUT WUT WUT???
I agree Mal does seem more interesting than Cobb. I like Marion a LOT more in this than in Public Enemies. And damn, was she fucking SCARY in certain parts.
Watanabe's Saito is definitely intriguing. Yeah, there's no way to truly know if inception took place even if he were there. Can we believe what he said his motivation is? Or is he even real at all? I love the theory that the whole movie is an inception on Cobb.
The ending, I agree. Either it was a dream or reality, it is still a happy ending for Cobb, so it doesn't really matter. But I do wanna know what happened to everybody else.
