I think you can actively refuse a kick if you know it's coming, if JGL got kicked out, the others would've been screwed and stuck in the second level.No, I understood that, but it was never clear exactly how the kicks worked. My first understanding was that you needed to feel a kick in the layer above you in order to wake up from the dream you were in.
Now I think it's more that you had to experience 2 simultaneous kicks. One in the layer above you, and one in the layer you were currently in. That would explain why JGL (Arthur, Cobb's right hand man) didn't wake up in the hotel level until he rigged the elevator. The movie isn't quite clear on that, though.
Yeah he got stabbed but he didn't die, he just stayed there until everyone got kicked out, he then drowned in lvl 1, which I believe pulled him out of limbo for a brief moment, only to chuck him back cause they were still sedated and couldn't wake up from death. So he wound up back in limbo, but this time decades after Saito was stuck there.I remember Cobb being stabbed in Limbo, and telling Juno that he would stay there to rescue Saito. That was around the same time that Saito died. I do remember the scene of Cobb in the van, but it wasn't clear if he had actually left Limbo (his apartment with Mal) in the first place. I guess if you die in a higher level while in Limbo, you get "respawned" or something?
