You could also argue that Nolan's story is a critique of meta-narratives (except its own) and is somewhat anti-Christian in that respect. The totem thing at the end bugs me as well. I think it's Nolan's way of showing what the audience wants (a happy ending) while telling another story. DiCaprio has given up and is end the story living in denial. His story is actually a tragedy and everyone leaves the theater thinking its a comedy. Yea, there’s so many directions you could go with the movie.

Is that a function of this being a more personal film (i.e., not based on a comic book), or a greater freedom he feels he has because he has made so much $$? So many layers ... or levels ...

Self-forgiveness is false forgiveness. (Though there is a point at which we need to believe that when God declares us righteous that He does not lie, but that's different) I'm still trying to sort out the totem though. Dead on. Self-forgiveness is false forgiveness. (Though there is a point at which we need to believe that when God declares us righteous that He does not lie, but that’s different)

I’m still trying to sort out the totem though.
