This would make sense as Saito and Cobb had shared a construction of Saito's office at the beginning.

    Amazing film, the graphics were absolutely breathtaking.
    This seems like the only plausible answer, and I really have no issues with it except that it just wasnt really made clear at all. But yes, Saito and the mark could have both been essentially in purgatory until Cobb went down into limbo, bringing along with him his preconstructed limbo.

    One other issue that comes up.. if Saito died in the snow level only minutes before Cobb and the girl went down into limbo, how is it that Saito aged so much in comparison to Cobb/the mark? Or did I not notice that Cobb was also aged by the time he made it to Saito's limbo stronghold?

    I assumed this was part of time slowing more and more the deeper you went.

    Saito entered limbo way before any of the other guys. They get old quickly down there.

    Limbo MUST be able to be constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed, no? I mean, Cobb did it. The difference between Cobb & Ellen Page and Fischer & Saito is that Saito & Fischer were dead one level up. If you're dead in the world (or dream) above, you can't just kill yourself in limbo and all of a sudden have your heart start beating again.

    I find it crazy (and mind-blowing) that if the top indeed continued spinning at the end, this would require us to add a whole other level of analysis to our current analysis. My friend wants to watch this movie and I may give it another chance. This time, however, I will most likely be high.

    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    i think the top countinued to spin, because when he saw his children they were exactly the same as in his memory. i assume he was gone for quite a while and his children had not aged at all, they were wearing the same clothes and in the same spot as his previous memory.

    I agree. We almost know for a fact that the top continued to spin...but the director dude must've left it out for SOME reason. A shade of doubt.
