Who says that "be your own man" will cause the son to break the empire?


While there are plenty of errors in this movie, this seems to be the worst.

That's not an error.

You are sin.

It is. Their all plan is based on this line which can't assure them anything.

The statement is made by Fischer -- that means that he is restating what he learned about his father in the dream world. His statement is telling all of us that the Inception worked.

Beyond that -- it is immaterial. He could change his mind just before signing on the dotted line. But, do you really expect Nolan to drag out the end of the movie like that? How much of an ending do you expect?

Getting Fischer to break up the company is not the primary plot. The primary plot is Cobb getting back to his kids and dealing with his wife's death.

👿 I know something you don't know ... I am ambidextrous!

There's more to that message, including a specific directive to break up the company from Eames disguised as Browning

But the "be your own man" message was buried deepest to ensure it would be properly "incepted"

Basically, it'll HOUND Fischer the way Mal was hounded by the incepted notion that "reality is a dream"

The real life Browning could tell Fischer a million times that he got incepted, that he shared a first class cabin with Saito and the world's best dream-team, that it makes NO SENSE to break up the company

But none of that would matter, because the "be your own man" message was incepted so deeply in Fischer's mind.
