Closure With Her Death

Molly and Dom from Wordonfire.

Inception is a maze of a movie by Christopher Nolan, but one of the most important scenes to the plot of the movie is when Dom is in a 4^th level dream with Ariadni and Molly is there keeping Mr. Fischer hostage. Dom has been struggling with the memories of his dead wife Molly throughout the entire movie and in this scene 2 hours into the plot, we finally witness him overcoming his guilt he had due to Molly’s death. The scene unfolds as Dom and Molly speak together at the table or their old home as Molly desperately tries to convince Dom to stay with her. Dom agrees to stay with Molly in order to save Mr. Fischer, Ariadni rushes to the porch where Molly revealed that Mr. Fischer was being held. However, when Dom says that he actually was going to stay because another comrade was trapped in the 4^th level dream Molly gets upset and threatens to kill him which would throw him deeper into the dream, but Ariadni shoots Molly and gives Mr. Fischer a ‘kick’ to wake him up from the dream.  She speaks briefly with Dom to coordinate plans and then follows Mr. Fischer and gives herself a ‘kick’. The closing point of this scene is most important because Dom speaks with Molly about how he feel so guilty for her death, but he comes to have closure with her death and finally can leave her behind and live in the reality of his life, and that is why this scene is so important in the movie because throughout the film, Dom is haunted by Molly and now he can finally leave her behind.
