** When interviewed about his role, [[Michael Caine]] asserted that any scene that included him was one guaranteed to be in the real world. This either explains the film or makes the [[Mind Screw]] even more confusing.

[[E=MC Hammer]] aside, the point stands that Inception is really damn complicated.</ref>
