The "Inception" Thread

He waltzes in there pretty easily at the end. If there was a custody issue, I think the film portrayed it precisely opposite.

I agree with CP that movies are like dreams. The stories aren't (unless adapting from life) "real" and so I usually forgive some logic lapses for the sake of story.

In this case, however, as I've said before, it's the main character's entire motivation. I expect it to have less of a gaping, wounded hole. In fact, it's such an obvious and distracting hole, the film should have explained if there was some custody or other issue preventing the children from traveling. Half a line of dialogue. No excuse.

In most movies, I'd have to just grit my teeth. In this one, I can use dream logic and all is fine.
