Inception THE KICK Scene El origen Escena La Patada

[TheresNoHappyEnd]

what is the name of the song for this clip? like i've searched the whole soundtrack for it and i couldnt find it..?

[MoviezGames]

This scene doesn't make sense, am I the only one who sees why ?

[MusicMike512]

BRRRRRRMMMMMMM.....BRRRRRMMMMM­MMMM....only Zimmer can make those sounds this epic

[cyberlarry7]

You're so right, it's insanely good editing. And the sheer imagination of Chris Nolan, plus directing these scenes - and choosing his camera placement so it cuts together into a cohesive, understandable whole is nothing short of amazing. He's a genius compared to 99% of the so-called "Auteurs". I detest that word - almost NO ONE in Hollywood deserves it except Woody... not even Spielberg - he never wrote his own scripts.. paid off other writers to remove their names so he could get the credit .

[Baltabak]

So epic.

[tankmilkman]

If you played Halo when you were 12, this movie is probably to deep for you.

[02uche]

@tankmilkman fail is fail

[Noarules]

Most awesome scene in the movie!

[MrEoghan1997]

This movie deserved to win the Best Film Oscar because it is way better than the Kings Speech

[Gric3]

Yesss

[premiumkaiser]

Why Did the Kings Speech Winned Anyways That Movie Sucked Dick! at least Black Swan or Winter Bone were better!

[cat2cube]

what was the point in blowing up the building? to wake up ariadne?

[ISetYourFaceOnFire]

@cat2cube Because to fully wake up to reality you have to wake up from each dream level and 3 levels deep you would a very powerful kick because the sedation is heavy so therefore an explosion or collapsing building would do just the trick.

[Sk8terGaMer89]

@cat2cube Yea. The music was arthur's kick + the building would kill the others, waking them up.

[MoviesintheMix]

lol @ 1:15

Love seeing them fly towards the ceiling.

[Samoaqueen]

How does Tom Hardy sleep at night with a mouth that sinfully sensual?

[eyork9]

this scene was incredible in IMAX!!! especially at 0:10..when the bodies start floating!!

[CR7CJ50]

[HPLOVEGOOD]

epic

[branchbros]

Wasn't level 4 limbo? If it was, shed need to have something wake her up like Mal

[slayerette86m]

I keep watching this and think, "Seriously, how did Nolan not get nominated?"

HOW?!

[camerondiaztwin]

@slayerette86m - slayer, I think it's jealousy on the part of the Academy members. This guy's only 40 but he consistently puts out brilliant, thoughtful, original films that these old farts could never even conceive.

[bubblecup18]

Woah.

[Pdids01]

BRRRRMMMMMM!!!

[balbaldoodoo]

BWONG ....

[MrSuperSmashed]

Everytime I see something awesome or jaw-dropping from a movie, I always get goosebumps, I had goosebumps all throughout Inception

[dodydorn]

There is something wrong over here. Backwards. Why the hell Ariadne needs to jump of the building? Isn't the kick from level 3 suppose to get her out of the deeper level? As I understand the kick on a higher level gets you out of the dream on a lower level. So why give yourself the kick at the lowest level. Shouldn't Ariadne just die from the fall at level 4 and end up in limbo? Shouldn't the collapsing fortress kick wake up Leo from level 4?

[redplague]

@dodydorn The kick wakes you up into the level you are sleeping in, not dreaming in, so they didn't have a kick in the plane, only that woman to wake them up at the appropriate time. The van falling wakes them up in level 1, the lift in level 2, the fortress demolition in level 3, and her jumping off the building in level 4. I wrote this then thought hang on she wasn't sleeping in level 4, maybe because it's limbo it's different? I'll have to watch it again, see if they say anything about tha

[dodydorn]

@redplague

My point exacly. They get a kick from the van (level 1) to wake them up from the hotel dream (level 2). They get a kick from the elevator in the hotel (level 2) to wake up from the snow fortress (level 3). The fortress destruction kick (level 3) is suppose to wake them up from the ruined city dream (level 4). So why the hell Ariadne throws Fisher of the roof and then jumps herself? Why does Fisher wake up on level 3 when he was given the kick on level 4?

[redplague]

@dodydorn I think I've got it. Ariadne jumps off the building to wake herself from level 4, the explosion then wakes them up from level 3, the lift wakes them up from level 2. The thing with the van is a signal to them that the time is now to start waking up from the dreams. Fisher get the defibrilator not to wake him up, but to signal Aridne and Cobb that it's time to wake up.

[dodydorn]

@redplague

So what you are saying is that in order to be woken up you need to get a kick in that dream? For example kick from level 2 wakes you up from level 2? I don't think so. In the first heist at Saito's party Leo is given a kick in the apartment to be woken up from the dream at the japanese house (one level lower). From what I understand you have to give the kick to a sleeping person, not when he/she is awake (in or outside a dream). So I think this scene has a major flaw.

[redplague]

@dodydorn The kick is a signal to wake up. At Saito's party Leo is given the kick so he sees the water and then wakes up (either through drowning or instinct). In the final level Leo shouts "That''s the kick Ariadne, you have to go now" when the defibrilator is used. She then jumps off the building to wake herself up.

[redplague]

@dodydorn No I think what I said is right, she wasn't sleeping in level 4, so she jumped off the building to make her wake up, and the demolition was so that once she woke up from level 4 she would wake from level 3.

R.I.P Pete Postlethwaite (Maurice Fischer). Great actor who was also in The Town, The Usual Suspects and Jurassic Park.

[flyingbeagles]

MY FAVORITE EFFING SCENE!!!!!!!!!!!

[JaeTotheWynn]

This, along with the fight scene where there was no gravity, was my favorite part. The music was amazing!

[TheSnesky]

Yea this is my favorite scene in the movie and I have the movie so I always watch that part!!!!!!!!

[Mortalvis]

finally.... the van friggan dropped!

[goodcommentguy]

Dang, they raped the bass in this soundtrack. Freakin epic. Along with one of the best plots I have ever saw, I think this might qualify for one of the best movies of this year :]

[bluesman619]

God I love that low A 5th chord when Eames detonates the building at 0:01

[realsiq]

this movie is a TRIP. 

[ThePhantomLion]

Mal disliked this

[dallasbagley]

I'm so glad to have witnessed a movie of this caliber in my lifetime, honestly. One of the best films ever, no question.

[fledgehog]

this has to be one of the best-filmed and best-edited scenes ever.

[UphyXx]

what happens if you wake up in a dream level above before you do in your current dream level?

Like what would happen if the van hit the water before arthur blew up the elevator?

[woz30]

@UphyXx it couldnt happen. Ur lower level dream would collapse instantly due to the upper level not existing. The only exception is Limbo. Cobb & Saito did not ride the kicks back up the levels because those levels no longer existed..They came out of Limbo straight back to the 747.

[pabloernesto19]

@UphyXx Arthur wakes up, so everybody wakes up and fail the mission.

[Thejumanji300]

I agree with comment below, im like when is it gonna hit the damn water?!?!

[kubah12345]

@Thejumanji300 do u understand why it took a  while?

[Sotnas]

Jesus Christ, it took forever for that van to drop. I was getting impatient in the theater.

[VastedCouth]

One thing no one talks about is the expertise of the editing job done here. Imagine this scene given to other directors/ editors/ film scores - a woman, after being signaled by slowed down music, proceeds to throw herself off a ledge and fall backwards into a collapsing reality and subsequently out of THREE dream layers before ending up in a van crashing into the ocean. It would be confusing as hell. Here's it's pure magic as you not only understand what's going on, but revel in the epicness.

[theaviator87]

@VastedCouth Good Review

[tfpp1]

@VastedCouth Absolutely 100% agree. I'd be REALLY surprised if Inception didn't take the oscar for best editing. Sure I hope it wins a slew of other categories, but I wholeheartedly appreciate the editing in this film. It's one of the aspects that literally gives me chills when I see how it's cut together. People may not understand the plot, but most people sure as hell understand what's happening, visually!

[555Derilict666]

@VastedCouth No it wouldn't be confusing as hell. That's why the director sits in the editing suite all the time and knows what's going on, but yes I could imagine if an editor was working on this alone and had to make sense of an infallable idea that they considered fallible, that I get.

[majafaja999]

@VastedCouth yes...and that's why inception was nominated for 'best editing'...oh wait

[TheChromanoise]

@majafaja999 It was criminal that it didn't.

[HELLOPEOPLEPEOPLEHI]

@VastedCouth Lee Smith deserved an Oscar for his editing in this movie. It amazes me more and more each time I see the movie.

[CobbisinReality]

In Reply to 21jamaicanboi

Fischer's threatening projections no longer exist once Fischer gets back to Level 1 because his subconscious mind no longer feels threatened by anyone given the inception that took; his mind is at peace and no longer trying to defend itself. Yes, both Saito and Cobb make it back to the 747 before the 10 hours expires. Saito spends about 50 years in Limbo Time and Cobb probably about 15 to 20 years Limbo time but that time equated to under 10 hours in Reality time.

[21jamaicanboi]

@CobbisinReality ok now that clears up my confusion. And then one more thing; if the gravitational shifts affected the 2nd lvl, how come wen gravity was no longer in effect and everyone was just floating around, the people in the 3rd lvl didn't feel nothing strange. When arthur was moving them around tying them up to put them in the elevator, shouldn't they have experienced gravitational shifts from that? Or did it not cause gravity shifts because there was no gravity to deal with?

[CobbisinReality]

@21jamaicanboi

Feeling weightless and being weightless are different things. Arthur is falling in level 1 so he feels weightless. Therefore, this feeling causes his mind to actually be weightless in level 2. Because of what Arthur is dreaming, Eames is in zero gravity on level 2. They don't feel zero gravity in level 3 because Eames is not falling in level 2. His body is undisturbed so there's nothing for his senses to process that would affect the dream he's creating in level 3.

[21jamaicanboi]

@CobbisinReality thanks man. u explain it like a pro

[woz30]

@CobbisinReality I was thinking about the scene where Cobb & Ariadne go to Limbo. They state early in the movie that if u die in ur dream u go to Limbo due to heavy sedation. Fischer & Saito went there due to dying. My impression is that you also go to Limbo by PASIV machine if there is no "constructed" dream. The other layers were designed. The Limbo scene was Ad lib therefore was unconstructed dream space except for what Cobb had left behind? Is this correct?

[CobbisinReality]

@woz30

Could you rephrase your thought on the PASIV device sending one to Limbo if there is no constructed dream level?

Yes, the Limbo we see is Cobb's Limbo - his unconstucted dream space in his subconscious mind which is actually still partially constructed with what he and Mal had built. When both Fischer and Saito's dream selves die in level 3, they both drop down to Cobb's Limbo since they are dream sharing with Cobb on the 747. Then Cobb and Ariadne drop down to Cobb's Limbo.

[woz30]

@CobbisinReality Saito & Fischer and went to Limboby dying whereas Cobb & Ariadne used the PASIV device. The layers for the Fischer job as well as the 2 layer dreams of the Saito job were preplanned. I take it as though Limbo was like a work in progress as Cobb & Mal had built & tore down things through the years they were there. Limbo was described as unconstructed dream space. Simply put, if u had no dream layout programmed into the PASIV, u would be in an unconstructed dream space or Limbo.

[CobbisinReality]

@woz30

You are correct here. If there are no other designed dream levels left and the dreamers attach theirselves to a PASIV in that last designed dream level, they go to Limbo. On the Fischer inception job, both Cobb and Ariadne drop down to Limbo. Cobb is the designated dreamer of Limbo - they must enter this into the PASIV - Cobb being the dreamer of Limbo is also illustrated on the linear heist parallel escape graph that Nolan created on pgs 16 and 17 of the Shooting Script book.

[woz30]

@CobbisinReality Thanx for answering. Movie of the Decade.

[tfpp1]

@CobbisinReality Maybe you can clarify something for me. There is a moment in the movie - *AFTER* the van hits the bridge - when Cobb says "Arthur has a couple minutes, we have about twenty."

I have a very hard time believe (even with the 'expansion of time' down each level) that Arthur managed to fight a bad guy, get the explosive, float up a floor, gather everyone, tie them up, push them down the hall, into the elevator, set charges, untie everyone, and blow up the elevator all in 2 minutes.

[VastedCouth]

@tfpp1 You remembered it wrong. The scene you're talking about happens BEFORE the van hits the bridge - the movie makes a big point about it.

Plan A was to be done by the time the van hits the bridge and makes a kick. But Yusef was being shot at and played the music in Arthur's ear, letting them know he was bailing out early. Cobb now knows that Yusef is 10 seconds from the jump, giving Arthur 3 minutes and everyone else 60.

However it was too early, so they waited for the 2nd kick to escape.

[tfpp1]

@VastedCouth I was afraid you'd say that. No - the moment comes exactly after Arthur says, "how do I drop you without gravity." Cobb: Arthur has about 2/3 minutes, we have about 20." Go back and check yourself. That one line confuses me. First they have 60 minutes, then they suddenly have "about 20."

Nevertheless, I guess the van would take only about 10 sec to hit the water, so you're right, Arthur has a few minutes either way, it's just amazing he's able to get it all done.

[VastedCouth]

@tfpp1 Hey holy crap you're absolutely right! Cobb does say that, I apologize!

Arthur DOES have 2-3 minutes to do all that stuff. Still possible, but so VERY tight that I have to say that he definitely did his job as the pointman. Eames running around the fortress fighting off henchmen while planting bombs is awesome, but can't touch Arthur.

Now that I think about it, do you think it would have been better to have someone more competent driving the van, or have them defending the lower levels?

[VastedCouth]

@tfpp1 Now saying that, the van still takes 10 seconds to hit the water, so Arthur does have 3 minutes to do all that stuff, but I still think it's possible, you'd just have to be very quick about it.

While the snow level projections are supposed to be tougher, Eames had an hour, so you could argue that Arthur had it harder (especially when you remember that he was supposed to be the pointman without inspiration and yet figures out a way to save them in the end. It's an quiet character arc. :)

[CobbisinReality]

@tfpp1 The somnacin derivative sedative that they are using on this job accelerates brain function which buys them more time in each level. Brain function is 20 times normal so 8 hours real time on the 747 = 8.3 days in level, 166 days in level 2 (almost 6 months), 80,000 hours (which is almost 10 years) in level 3, 60 years in Limbo for Saito and about 15 years in Limbo for Cobb - CONT in next post

[CobbisinReality]

@tfpp1 One thing to keep in mind is what Cobb tells Ariadne - that "when you dream, your mind functions more quickly, therefore time seems to pass more slowly." They brain functioning is accelerated on the job by 20 times in each level due to the sedative. You can't think of what Yusuf, Arthur or the rest of the team do in each level in real time including what Cobb and Saito do in Limbo; their minds are racing through these dreams but it feels like time is moving slowly- CONT -

[CobbisinReality]

@tfpp1 The imagery and action of each level is presented to the audience in a way that makes it feel like it is Real Time in each level and in Limbo. But it's not real time. What Arthur is doing in level 2 is done at a rapid pace - even though it seems that it would take a long time to do what we see him do in 2 minutes after the Van hits the water in level 1 - and Cobb, Ariadne, Satio, Fischer and Eames accomplish a lot in 20 minutes in the Snow Fortress and Limbo after the Van hits the water

[CobbisinReality]

@tfpp1 One point of clarification. When Cobb makes that comment he actually says AFTER the Van hits the WATER. The exact scene and quote are:

Cobb looks at Ariadne as he talks into the radio

Cobb: When the Van hits the water. I figure Arthur's got a couple minutes and we've got about twenty.

Cobb and Ariadne move towards the base of the complex.

[CobbisinReality]

@tfpp1  I think it may help to watch the inception-in-real-time video which you can find by pasting inception-in-real-time into the search field above. This puts everything into context as to how fast the dream layers are moving relative to Level 1.

[CobbisinReality]

In Reply to benjamminccfc,

This is incorrect. The storm you see in Limbo where Cobb says "that's the Kick Ariadne" - is a result of the Van hitting the water in Level 1. He knows that once the Van hits, the synchronized Kicks need to be initiated. The Defibrillator shock is a Kick for Fischer - his dream self heart in level 3 needs to be jolted simultaneously with the free fall Kick his dream self receives in Limbo. He needs two Kicks in parallel to get back to level 3 given the sedative.

[CobbisinReality]

@theaviator87

amen to that!

[CobbisinReality]

The reason why there has to be a series of double kicks from the layer above and from the layer theye are in (in this synchronized fashion) is again because the sedative is so strong that just one Kick from the layer above is not enough to move a dream self back to a previous dream level. But two Kicks done simultaneously from the layer above and the layer they are in will enable them to move back a level and this is what happens for Ariadne, Arthur, Eames and Fischer.

[maujo2009]

@CobbisinReality Hey, CIR, you're here too! This is skorpio from Cinemablend forum! No one could explain himself better about this movie! Regards!

[CobbisinReality]

In reply to 2323jgrant - Continued

So in normal circumstances the Kick comes from the layer above but not when you are on a sedative. The need to create a Kick from the level they are in coupled simultaneously with a Kick from the layer above it. Ariadne's free fall Kick in Limbo coupled with the Snow Fortress collapsing free fall is what brings her back to Level 3. And the elevator free fall in Level 2 coupled with the snow fortress collapse free fall is what brings Ariadne back to level 2

[CobbisinReality]

In Reply to 2323jgrant,

Since the team is being intravenously fed the sedative on the 747 plane in reality, they all need a Double Kick to move back from dream layer to the next. They never explicitly state it this way but this is what happens in the synchronized kicks. Ariadne pushing Fischer off the ledge creates a free fall Kick within Limbo and at the very same time Eames delivers the defibrillator shocks to Fischer's chest in the Snow Fortress and this is how Fischer get back to level 3.

[benjamminccfc]

@CobbisinReality The defibrillator wasn't a kick, it was a method to synchronise the kicks and a sign to Ariadne and Cobb that they needed to initiate their kicks in limbo. It's the equivalent of the musical countdown in the upper layers.

[CobbisinReality]

@benjamminccfc

This is incorrect. The storm you see in Limbo where Cobb says "that's the Kick Ariadne" - is a result of the Van hitting the water in Level 1. He knows that once the Van hits, the synchronized Kicks need to be initiated. The Defibrillator shock is a Kick for Fischer - his dream self heart in level 3 needs to be jolted simultaneously with the free fall Kick his dream self receives in Limbo. He needs two Kicks in parallel to get back to level 3 given the sedative.

[2323jgrant]

Ok. will someone please explain to me- Given the "rules" of the kicks, that the kick must come from the level above that they are sleeping in. What was the point of blowing the hospital up to make it fall, if Ariadne just killed herself to escape limbo anyway. Everyone was awake on the Hospital level. My thoughts were that the explosion was to set off Limbo to warn Ari and Leo that the kick was coming. Is that right? lol

[CobbisinReality]

In Reply to KatieohsoRaNdOm

One detail to keep in mind about the remaining crew waiting it out a week in Level 1 before the countdown timer expires on the PASIV dream machine on the 747 plane is that Fischer is on a different countdown timer than the rest of the remaining team members (Ariadne, Arthur, Yusuf and Eames). Their countdown timer is set to expire before Fischer's by just a little in order to give them time to get the dream machine out of sight before Fischer returns to the 747.

[CobbisinReality]

In Reply to KatieohsoRaNdOm about the Ring On and OFF

The Ring being ON or OFF is the Reality Checker for the audience only. Every time Cobb is wearing his Ring, he is in a dream. When he is not wearing his ring, he is in Reality. This was deliberately done by both Nolan and Pfister as a visual sign for just the audience. When Cobb hands his passport to the passport agent at the end of the film, he is NOT wearing his ring. He is in Reality. He is reunited with his children in Reality.

[CobbisinReality]

In Reply to KatieohsoRaNdOm

The clothing that Cobb's kids are wearing at the end of the film are different. Phillipa's dress has a higher hemline and different shade and James's shirt is a different pattern. The kids are taller. Also there are two sets of children actors used in the film. Please look up the cast and crew. There was a set of actors that played the 3 yr old Phillipa and 20 month old James and then a different set of actors for the 5 yr old Philipa and the 3 yr old James.

[CobbisinReality]

In Reply to KatieohsoRaNdOm and Zisaar PART 2

There are a lot of explanatory gaps and missing visuals in the film and this is done intentionally so that the audience has to put the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle together. Even though we are not shown Arthur, Ariadne, Fischer, Yusuf and Eames returning back to reality - we know how they do - by waiting one week in Level 1. Once the dream machine timer expires, the sedative is no longer being intravenously fed into their arms, and they wake up.

[CobbisinReality]

In Reply to KatieohsoRaNdOm and Zisaar,

The remaining crew in Level 1 (Arthur, Ariadne, Fischer and Eames) have to wait it out in Level 1 for one week until the PASIV dream machine countdown timer expires on the 747 plane in Reality. When the timer expires, they all return back to consciousness on the 747 plane. There was no planned Kick to get back to Reality. They knew that they would have to wait it out a week since 10 hours in Reality on the plane equals one week in the first level.

[21jamaicanboi]

@CobbisinReality so wait u said the crew still had to wait a week in Level1? Doesn't dat mean fisher's projections wud still be trying to kill them. And wat about cobb. Since they have a week( and limbo time is far slower than the 1st level) dat means cobb had enough time to save saito and return back to the 1st lvl. BUT dosnt cobb have to go through the syncronized kicks to get back to the 1st lvl. Because if so he's still stuck in the 3rd lvl lol

[CobbisinReality]

@21jamaicanboi

Fischer's threatening projections no longer exist once Fischer gets back to Level 1 because his subconscious mind no longer feels threatened by anyone given the inception that took; his mind is at peace and no longer trying to defend itself. Yes, both Saito and Cobb make it back to the 747 before the 10 hours expires. Saito spends about 50 years in Limbo Time and Cobb probably about 15 to 20 years Limbo time but that time equated to under 10 hours in Reality time.

[CobbisinReality]

@21jamaicanboi

CONT - Both Cobb and Saito DO NOT have to go through the synchronized Kicks to get back to Level 1. Remember, when the rest of the team rides the synchronized Kicks back to level 1 - as they leave level 3, level 2 and level 1 (after waiting a week), those levels collapse and go out of existence....and then they wake on the 747. This means that by the time Cobb convinces Saito to come back, there are no more dream levels existing. Cobb and Saito go from Limbo back to Reality.

[petrelli23]

Hands down, the most epic scene of the year.

[psncoolpjhq]

528491 followed by dream is collapsing 

[KatieohsoRaNdOm]

I am starting to think Kobbs never woke up because it never showed the crew waking up from the first level of the dream... I don't know though because I heard a theory that when Kobbs has his ring on, that means he's dreaming. When there is no ring that means he's awake and in the final scene, he has no ring... but the argument could be if he was still dreaming, his subconscious finally let go of Mal meaning the ring would be gone. I am also thinking because the kids are in the same clothes....?

[Zisaar]

@KatieohsoRaNdOm Yea really confusing
