Q.U.E.S.T.I.O.N.S !!


1- In the first level of their mission why they didn't kick themselves when they found that there is a "Limbo" thing, and that Cobb didn't tell them about it, naturally they would be very upset and won't help him by risking their lives!

2- When Saito was in a Limbo, wouldn't his mind be in a total loss and be totally distracted and forgot the arrangement by then, as they suggested?

3- How do they carry the device that initiates their dream with them to the next level of the dream?

4- How did Cobb went to the fifth dream where Saito is a really old man?

5- After Robert Fischer came back, he saw Cobb and by then -supposedly- he knew that Cobb isn't his subconscious as he was claiming, so how would he still believe that whole plot?

Because you can't kick yourself out of a dream. The kick must come from the dream level above you. With the heavy sedative, the kick must be synchronized with a kick in the dream level.
2- When Saito was in a Limbo, wouldn't his mind be in a total loss and be totally distracted and forgot the arrangement by then, as they suggested?
Yes. The dialogue between Cobb and Saito helps to pull each other out of Limbo. It reminds them of a distinct reality ("a half-remembered dream"). Through that conversation, they both begin to piece together the idea that they are in Limbo.
3- How do they carry the device that initiates their dream with them to the next level of the dream?
They don't carry it -- the dreamer recreates it as part of the dream world.
4- How did Cobb went to the fifth dream where Saito is a really old man?
When he dies in the dream-world, he goes to Limbo. Limbo had been the city -- after the city was destroyed, the only person in Limbo would rebuild it (Saito). When Cobb drowns in the van, he returns to that Limbo which is Saito's.
5- After Robert Fischer came back, he saw Cobb and by then -supposedly- he knew that Cobb isn't his subconscious as he was claiming, so how would he still believe that whole plot?
Because, when you wake up, you remember only fleeting moments of a dream. Fischer sees Cobb, but just assumes he had a bizarre dream about someone who is flying with him. This is all part of the reason why the team does not speak with each other at the airport. They don't want to give anything away.
