但是后面的三层梦就不行了,Cobb说“The trick is to synchronize a kick that can penetrate all three levels.“
再来听听Arthur在第二层对Ariadne是怎么解释的: While you're all asleep in 528, I'll wait for Yusuf's kick...His music warns me. And then when the van hits the barrier of the bridge, that should be unmistakable. So we get a nice, synchronized kick.
重点来了。
Arthur: If it's too soon(引爆), we won't get pulled out. If it's too late, I won't be able to drop us...Casue of the van, that will be in free fall. Can't drop you without gravity.
于是Ariadne说: No, there's still another way. We just have to follow Fischer down there....And we will find him. OK, as soon as Arthur's music kicks in just use the defibrillator to revive him. We can give him his own kick down below.
Cobb: When you wake up you won't even remember that we had an arrangement. Limbo is gonna become your reality. You're gonna be lost down there so long that you're gonna become an old man.
Saito: Filled with regret?
Cobb: Waiting to die alone.
Saito: No, I'll come back. And we will be young man together again.
请注意,Saito在limbo里见到Cobb时重复了以上对话,有两句甚至一字不差。可见这几句话在Saito心中的地位。当Saito认为自己gonna be lost down there so long that gonna become an old man, waiting to die alone的时候,他的苍老是和过了多少年无关的。
Cobb: When we wind up on the shore of our subconscious, we lost side of what was real. We created, we bulit the world for ourselves. We did that for years. We bulit our own world.
Ariadne: How long were you stuck there?
Cobb: Something like fifty years.
中间省略若干句话,此时描述的场景不变,就不展开了,因为下面这一段足以说明一切。
Ariadne: And what about for her?
Cobb: She'd locked something away. Something deep inside her. The truth that she once known. She chose to forget. Limbo became her reality.
Unconstructed dream space. Just raw infinitae subconscious. Nothing is down there, except for whatever might have been left behind by anyone sharing the dream who has been trapped there before, which in our case, is just you.(这时看着Cobb)
于是乎,凡是在现实层面通过造梦机连在一起的人,进入的必定是同一个limbo。Saito因为在第三层死亡而进去了,Fischer被Mal打死了所以进去的,而Cobb带着Ariadne ”follow Fischer down there“,从得到的结果来看他们也进入了limbo。
Saito: Cobb, I will still honor the arrangement.
Cobb: I appreciated that, Saito. But hen you wake up you won't even remember that we had an arrangement. Limbo is gonna become your reality. You're gonna be lost down there so long that you're gonna become an old man.
Saito: Filled with regret?
Cobb: Waiting to die alone.
Saito: No, I'll come back. And we will be young man together again.
The waves TOSS a BEARDED MAN onto wet sand. As the Japanese Security Guard turns him onto his back, we realize that this is Cobb- OLDER. WEARY. TRAVELLED...
最后那场,在Saito问出第一句Are you come to kill me时,Cobb就已经是停止吃东西的状态,一开始就抬头看着Saito(这点很重要,表明衔接第一场戏,那时的Cobb已经听Saito讲过同样的话了),然后开始重复Saito刚才说过的那句话: somene from a half-remembered dream。
