Thread: Inception ending, finally explained? Wrong...

I hate that people in the cinema went OOOOH and clapped at the end when the totem didn't clearly fall.

I groaned and slumped back into the plush seat, knowing that lucy dreeming would never recover from these people. I see many of them in this thread.

Why do you hate it? Maybe they were "Oohing and clapping" at the simple fact that the ending was left ambiguous. Their clapping for the ending says nothing about their interpretations of the ending, or even why they were clapping.
Do not assume you understand everyone's motivations for their actions.

I only assumed that the "oohing and clapping" was in relation to the ambiguous ending and the movie in general (I think that's a reasonable assumption and I don't really care what they interpret about the ending).

I am not one for clapping after a movie. I've never liked it, it's corny. The movie probably meant more to me than anyone in the cinema, yet I didn't clap. That and I knew that lucid dreaming was about to be misunderstood by a lot of people. That's what I 'hated'.
Yes, a little selfish, but we're all entitled.

Come to Australia then, or maybe just Victoria I don't know. I hate it too and nobody ever does it here, I don't know why, it's an anomaly. Occasionally people will laugh at something, but that's about it for the most part.
(I only know that I hate it because of the *bad quality* movies that have people doing that shit in them)

I think this topic got brought up recently. I don't remember if I ever even participated in the discussion, though. Personally, I like it when people react at the end of a movie. I look at it the same way as I look at a crowd going wild after an amazing concert, or the way the passengers scream "WHOOOOOOOOO!" at the end of a badass theme park attraction. To me, it isn't corny at all. I just tend to see it as part of the overall experience. The crowd's reaction not only provides just a little insight into what others might have thought about the movie (while not 'important', I sometimes find interesting), but often serves as the icing on the cake, if I - too - enjoyed the movie enough to want to give it a celebratory "FUCK YEAH!"

That being said - I can completely understand why some people don't like it.

What about people screaming at concerts while the person is singing?

And no-name - don't come to Australia. Just don't. And yes this thread sucks.
