I actually think Nolan's attempt at making the ending ~ambiguous~ was MORE predictable than if he'd played a happy ending straight, because you KNOW that Nolan won't play a happy ending straight. So you can kind of guess how it was going to end by the time he explained Maud's death, and it seemed kind of cheap. XD
And I'm with you on how the idea they were planning to plant in Fischer sounded kind of dumb in theory but was actually surprisingly moving in execution.
I assumed the point of the dream world being so orderly is that the subject has to believe that it's actually AWAKE - but your subconscious can make you believe some ridiculous shit when it's dreaming, so... I guess the key is the subconscious differentiates between the whacked out reality it creates, vs the whacked out reality someone else creates for you? But-- Oh geeze, self, why are you overthinking this anyway. XD
(What I wanted to know was why Ariadne had to demand that she be let in on the job and the team was apparently going to go in WITHOUT her originally. She's the architect, shouldn't she have to be there by default? >_> Also, Nolan, what... do you have against married women? Because 3 movies in, it's starting to look like you might want to see a therapist about this. XD)
