The "Inception" Thread

It isn't necessarily more valid. As admitted Nolan has intentionally left it ambiguous and so I can't argue against anybody taking the other side of that ambiguity.

As I've said, I personally feel that your view of the movie makes it a less satisfying experience. Obviously not the case for you and it is great that we can both have entirely different preferences and still find it a good movie.

What I'm arguing against is that the image GD posted is a giant plothole that provides additional credence to the "it's all a dream" argument as I don't think that it is a plothole even if you accept the reality of the presented narrative. It just isn't spelling out every implication of what is being shown and I like that; especially in a movie that already bordered on too much exposition.
