Yeah, I know, most of us are done talking about Inception and have our own ideas about how it all went down, but I thought this was an excellent write up by a friend. He did a lot of legwork tracking down actual quotes and rewatching scenes from the movie and puts up a pretty strong case (in my opinion) against those who would say it was all just a dream.

From the article: Cobb… states “The stronger the issues, the more powerful the catharsis.” This is the one key point which ties the whole film together. The stronger the issues, the more intense, layered, and messed up the narrative is, then the more powerful the catharsis when Cobb finally does reunite with his kids. Could something this grand, this incredibly complex actually have happened? Some viewers say no, it was all a dream. I, however, say yes.
