Totally, a movie that leaves you talking is better than 9/10s of whats out there. Mostly, when I leave a theater my mind is asleep and I wish to take a nap. When I left this movie, like I did Matrix, I was charged with mind juices fleshing out other possible scenarios. I wish they had more money, and I wish there were 3

Well written, well said.

Just saw this today and I LOVED it.
Roeper has some good interpretations going there. I like to think that the first one is the right one, but the kids at the end did have me wondering - and the top did keep on spinning for a long, long time at the end.

Wow, thanks for explaining that the ending was left open for interpretation. I didn't get that until now.

I'm in favor of the first interpretation, which, I think, stays pretty close to what the movie actually tells us. It's fairly clear what is a dream and what is real, except for the last brilliant scene where the whole cinema is willing that stupid thing to fall over. That one is intentionally ambiguous of course. But I'd like to think it's the real world. Or, at least, as real as that world is in the first place.

The top was wobbling like a mofo. It was clearly going to fall over. There, movie over.

Sometimes things that are throbbing don't always behave as you would expect.

Finally getting around to seeing this. I like mental puzzling over multiple interpretations of fascinating movies, but I, too, think the first explanation in this video is definitely correct.

I agree with direpickle. Everything in the movie is presented clearly. I've always been annoyed that people are coming up with alternate theories for the movie. If the ending were a dream, the top would not have wobbled at all, and it does just before the final cut...sooooo..why are we talking about this?
