From the time Cobb talked to his father and recruited Ariadne, to the time they actually started there mission, it obviously was a while. Definitely long enough for his father to get to America. Or is there something I'm missing?

For things like going to Kyoto and being in Tokyo, and the light and dark situations,
is that really something to decipher or merely just a spoof since most people won't really notice.
I realize the accent is a minor point, but Cobb's father is a professor in Paris. Where is Cobb's mother? Taking care of the children, we suspect. At Cobb's house in Los Angeles. We don't know how long Cobb has been gone (the end makes it appear to be the same day he left, as the children are in the same clothes, but we know that can't be true).

So if it is a while between the time Araidne is recruited and the mission is completed, why haven't the children aged and why are they in the same clothes? Where is the grandmother?

How does Saito find Cobb so easily?

Why does Arthur tell Cobb "our ride is here" at night, but it is daylight on the roof.

How do Cobb's children know Cobb's phone number at his hotel in Tokyo (or is it Kyoto) when he went there to escape from Cobol Corp?

Why is Cillian Murphy’s character named Robert Fischer Jr. when his dad’s name is Maurice?

Why does Cobb use his wife's token? Where is his?

I am not asking you to answer these questions, but I think these are "off" things" that we accept in the shared dream experience of watching a movie, but don't notice until the movie is over.
