Inception Question

[Udgnim]

somewhat confused on the events that occurred after Fischer got shot and killed.

is there an explanation for how Cobb and Ariadne entered limbo? was it that Cobb recreated the limbo space while using the sedative machine? if so, then is it really limbo space since Cobb is actively trying to enter into limbo instead of it happening subconsciously? also, why are Fischer and Saito a part of it since they died first? shouldn't they have created their own limbo space or are all of their own subconsciouses linked together through the sedative machine? Fischer is found in Cobb's limbo space, but it is later shown that Saito created his own space and projections while in limbo.

shouldn't Fischer have aged in limbo via time magnification? he died first, then Saito. it is later shown that Saito has aged immensely when Cobb finally finds him, but Cobb himself hasn't really aged.

Lmao I just watched this. I don't think they fully explain limbo and how it works. When they said it I figures each person had thier own limbo like in a coma.

LOL, spoiler much? Thankfully you're probably the last person on earth to see this movie.

I'll add spoiler tags even though it won't help much with the OP.

Spoiler

Spoiler

They purposefully went "too deep" into the dream to reach it. It's exactly what happened to Cobb and Mal when they entered limbo when they went too deep by accident.

Spoiler

if so, then is it really limbo space since Cobb is actively trying to enter into limbo instead of it happening subconsciously?

Yes

Spoiler

also, why are Fischer and Saito a part of it since they died first? shouldn't they have created their own limbo space or are all of their own subconsciouses linked together through the sedative machine? Fischer is found in Cobb's limbo space, but it is later shown that Saito created his own space and projections while in limbo.

Spoiler

It's explicitly stated by Arthur that limbo is populated by what was created by anyone sharing the dream that had been there before. Cobb is the only one on the team that had, so limbo was populated by what he and Mal had created. Fischer is in Cobb's part of limbo because Mal took him there. She had no interest in Saito so he could have either started off in the same place somewhere, then later started creating his own section, or he started creating his own from the start.

Spoiler

shouldn't Fischer have aged in limbo via time magnification? he died first, then Saito. it is later shown that Saito has aged immensely when Cobb finally finds him, but Cobb himself hasn't really aged.

Spoiler

Cobb and Ariadne entered limbo relatively shortly after Fischer, at which point time would be moving at the same rate for them. By the time Cobb finds Saito, a huge chunk of time has passed. Cobb still had a sense of the reason he was there and was still, at least vaguely, aware that limbo wasn't real up to the point that he meets Saito and it all comes clearly back to him, so presumably that had some effect on his lack of aging. Saito, on the other hand, presumably lived a lifetime of limbo as his reality, until Cobb shows up and he remembers.

The people who complain about spoilers are full fledged dipshits. Haven't seen inception? Then stay clear of the thread called "Inception Question". Guess you guys will have to push that "quit acting so fucking retarded" resolution back to 2012 since you've already messed it up.

It's common in any movie thread to not give spoilers. For those that never saw it, may be interested in picking it up.

You are overthinking it. Nolan just threw a bunch of random crap together in hopes that people would think the movie is "deep." Whatever you think doesn't make sense probably isn't supposed to make sense. If you do find some sense, its only by chance that it exists.

Exactly. Don't over think the movie and you'll enjoy it.
