Speculating with "Inception" plot

What’s the most resilient form of parasite? An idea. An idea has the power to build a city… to change the world, and re-write all the rules... Source: www.slashfilm.com

“Inception” takes place in a world where we have developed a means by which we can enter people’s dreams. Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Cobb has been described as a “CEO type”, but he is also something of a criminal. He dives into people’s dreams to extract information.Ellen Page will play Ariadne, a young college student studying in Paris who is a part of Cobb’s team (along with Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Arthur and Tom Hardy’s Eames). Cillian Murphy stars as Fischer, a business-type who is soon to become the head of a company. Cobb’s team is attempting to insert an idea into Fischer’s mind to compel him to separate the company into two smaller companies. The reasoning for this is unclear on my end.This plot point is a bit unclear (and is a massive SPOILER), but I’m told that the wife commits suicide in the dream in order to return to the real world. When Cobb himself returns, he is charged with his wife’s murder and has to flee with his children.The film will not be typical sci-fi fare at all. It is set in the real world, present day. And virtually all of the “action” scenes take place in the dream environment. This should go a long way toward explaining the “Your mind is the scene of the crime” tagline that accompanied the trailer. Ultimately it seems like a grounded, more tangible blend of “Minority Report” and “The Matrix.” Source: incontention.com

"Cut to the Moon score, Villarin’s edit breaks up the footage into several distinct sections. First up there’s “Joseph Gordon-Levitt fights”, which takes place across two different floors, followed by “Train vs taxi”, “The water glass”, “Leo and Ellen in Paris”, “Entering the hotel”, “The kick”, “Lukas dragged from Leo”, and a montage of unordered scenes".
