and i also thought of all of the things he named. like how it started to topple over at the end and how his kids looked different at the begging and then changed differently at the end.
I love this movie its a complex movie that is confusing. But if you listen carefully to what they say throughout the movie then the 2nd time it comes to you really easily. And on my opinion at the end nobodys right and nobodys wrong the idea of the movie is to think what you want to believe at the end of the movie, and i wish that there were more complex awesome movies out there like this one. And that hopefully they make another one.
@MrBlabloooo im gonna tell you the truth..... and it's gonna be a lot easier than that........ Cob woke up, because when he is dreaming, the kids are always using the same clothes.... in every dream! (begining, midle,....) .... but, when he gets home at the end of the movie, the clothes are differents. the girl is using a similar clothes, but they aren't the same.... and the boy has a longer hair than in the begining.... check it if you are not sure
@ZeroPhoenix7497 i agree with you i think that (how i see it ) at the end when the thing is slowly stop spinning its probably cuz the whole situation befor was maybe a dream and he finally woke up? shit i want to know the real story of leonardo lol
The end of Inception has no real meaning either way. The movie is called Inception and the very movie itself defines this as placing an idea into someones subconcious and watching it grow. This is exactly what Mr. Nolan has done with you, the audience.
The movie is very dreamlike/abstract and full of possible clues. Each individual will latch onto a different set of clues, the idea will grow in their head, until they find meaning in the movie.
For all saying that Cobbs rign is his totem, it is not. The totem has to be in reality and in the dream, so if it wasn't in reality then it can't be his totem. He uses the top as a reminder of his wife.
at the end of the movie, at the airport, one of the driving services guy is holding a sign that says "LAM" which is Mal backwards. I think the entire movie is one layer in a dream, and Cobb is stuck in it.
I believe that the whole movie is a dream. In the chase scene when Cobb runs through the two buildings they close on him little by little in reality buildings don't do that. Also, the totem Cobb uses doesn't tell us if HE is in a dream or not because that was Mal's totem to begin with. At the end we see Cobb finally with his children but when he actually sees them they are in the same exact position as they were in his dream. Seeing their faces doesn't matter and they are both still the same age
@kaaghalaa No.. He sees them and then they run off.. At the end they don't run off. his only memory of them is them running off. They didn't run off at the end.
@MIlanSilby I was thinking the same way. he never saw the face of his children looking back at him hindering him to finish his dream about his kids. but on the ending, the kids look back and he saw their faces.

If Saito is the extractor, it would be a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream... Who knows how many layers. Whoa!
Well I don't Think they aurally killed each other at the end, I think they realized they were dreaming and woke up that way because they weren't sedated so they can just go 'I'm dreaming' and wake up since they were in limbo regular dream rules might not apply seeing as how limbo happened in several seconds. Also the multiplier they had to sedate themselves(mal and Leo) to enter the dream state for 40 years but it doesn't say they did so that would mean they are within a sedated layer because i
Remember where he shows the girl the part of his dream world where he has to leave and he says 'I want to call out and see their faces but no matter what I do I can't change this.' I think this proves the ending was real.
Here's some things I've noticed after multiple views, aside from what most others have already said.
- When Cobb sees Michael Caine in France, Michael Caine specifically asks him to, "Come back to reality."
- Before testing the sedative himself, the old man walks up to Cobb and says, "...the dream has become their reality." Then he smirks as he asks, "Who are you to say otherwise, son?"
- In the same scene after testing, Cobb drops the totem before he can see the result.
The sequel to Inception was out before Inception... its called "David after the Dentist - Is this Real Life?"... thats how messed up the dream logic is....
Cobb says that totems only work for the ones who make them, he uses Mal's totem, meaning that it doesnt work, its unreliable, it doesnt work for him and the chick never uses her totem, so from the begining it was all a dream. The whole movie is a dream, the ring thing in the dreams that are reality(since i think its all a dream) he doesnt have it because he thinks its reality. So its all a dream, and i think Mal really woke up.
I DO think that everithing wraps up by watching it the seccond time, the first movie scene were Dicaprio gets to old saito and convinves him to get out is the scene that must me between the architekt getting out of the last level and Dicaprio´s waking up....besides the ring thing oviously
i think its real because you never see the kids faces throughout the dreams and if you saw them in different clothes and age you would not recognize them BOOM mindfuck
I think that Saito is the extractor and the group planted an idea in Cobbs mind that he should come back to reality and forget Mal, in the end when he comes back to the airport it is still a dream, it might be so that it couldn't be possible to allow him back to the states so Saito called someone to "allow him" to the states. At the end he skips checking if he is in reality, that's where i think he could possibly just be in a dream after all.
These people aren't getting that, Cobb says with his children on the phone: "I'm gonna send some presents with grandpa" That means that Michael Caine is going to the USA propably before him, his father knows that he found a job to go to America, and his father meets him and the airport because he was there before metting cobbs childern.
He isn't in the dream!! wtf, his totem is not the top thats mal's totem his totem is a wedding ring that he wears when he is inside a dream when he is in reality he doesn't wear it and why would the top wobble if he was inside a dream?
Watch a Pre-January 8th copy of Inception. Listen closely when the actors say imagine, reality, and safe, or point pistols. You'll hear the words, Loughner, offin' her, part of the word Giffords, and much more. Some say they hear, do it.
The end is a bit like "Total Recall" it's up to you what you want to believe. That's why the movie stops before the spinning top starts to wobble.
What is really interesting is when Cobb wakes up from the organized dream at the Alchemists basement. He rushes to the tap to spin his top, but gets interrupted before he can watch the result. The top falls to the ground & he simply puts it away. Now is any of it still real from this point, including future conversations?
ur all wrong_ he isnt in limbo becuase remeber when cobb and mal were in limbo?well remember how it was ONLY cobb and mal not a whole bunch of other people...geez
its obv hes faced to reality , "welcome home" and when he finally see's his childrens faces, the reason the spin wobbles is because we are meant to be left with indiividual prespectives.
How very conservative and american these people are... "I'm just going to believe exactly what I'm told without thinking too hard about it, because thinking makes my brain hurt.!"
I think because he left Mal that's why his ring is gone and his children were his totems like they said Cobb never listens to his rule and one of his rule was make the totems small and later he accepts the fact he is in limbo so he looks at his childrens face.
From the movie's first moment to the end,Cobb was in limbo and Mal(wich mean evil or bad in spanish) was the only one who woke up.that's my conclusion after I watched the movie first time,because when he started using her totem it was worthless and she always sabotaged him,she even said in different parts during the history things like:"what if I am the real one","we still can get old together",and one question: why the kids never changed?.his own idea had infected him(AUTOINCEPTION=FAITH).
i think...THAT HIS CHILDREN ARE REALLY ROOSTERS THAT HAVE TOOTHBRUSHES THAT SHOOT LASERS AND ARE REALLY TRYING TO MAKE EVERY ONE FREAKIN CRAZY SO WHEN EVERYONE THINKS THERE DREAMING THEY'LL HAVE SEX WITH MOTHER NATURE AND EVERYONE WILL THINK ITS NORMAL!
Also, why would Michael Caine be in a dream when he was pleading for Cobb to come back? Caine had left the dream world so if it was a dream at the end, he wouldn't have been there.
Plus, his kids ARE wearing different clothes. its just hard to spot. also, how did he get to los angeles so quickly? oh okay, we'll just watch about 2 hours of him getting into the airport, getting on to the plane, watching a few on board movies, etc. its called skipping past stuff we don't NEED to see. jeepers :L
Jesus Christ. The ending isn't IMPORTANT. its the fact he looked away from his totem which reveals how he doesn't care whether hes dreaming or not. he's just happy to see his children.
when we see the children's clothes at the first scene (in the memories of cobb) the little girl wears a red dress but under she seams to wear a white t-shirt....
AT THE LAST SCENE SHE ONLY WEARS A RED DRESS....
so this is why i think that the end is not a dream but reality...!!!
Could the ending scene when he's not wearing the ring also interpret the fact that he finally left Mal after the final dream sequence? So many theories...
Whether the dream is a reality or not isn't the important part. What's important is that Cobb was willing to accept whether he was in reality or a dream. If you'll notice, Cobb doesn't stay to watch the totem. He leaves it on the table. He doesn't care whether he's in a reality or not. What's really important to him is that he's with his children again.
when cobb wakes up from trying the sedative, he goes to the bathroom to splash his face with water. after doing so, he goes to spin his totem to ensure that he is in reality, though he is unsuccessful because he is interrupted by kato who appears at the door. the totem falls to the ground and there is a scene cut -- cobb is not shown to spin it again. what if everything after that is a dream, and he never woke up from the sedative?
now apply the same concept of dream vs.reality to life and after life! basically is your true being after you die or is it the present? you can never answer this...the ancient hindu scriptures had mentioned this concept as "satya" or "maya" several centuries ago..chris noland just ripped off the idea from them!
Wouldn't the fact that the top is Mal's totum and not Cobb's affect it? When the idea of the totum is brought up, it's told that it's an object that only the specific person can use.
@curly0805 yeah but since cobb knows all the aspects of the spinny top thingy its basically his, the only reason why one person can use a totem is so they can tell whether theyre in someone elses dream or not, since they are the only one s who know the weight of their totem
@wlcm2th3nfl Yeah and since Mal died theres really no point...unless Mal's projection can be able to manipulate Cobb's totem cause she knows the aspects as well.
well... all i know is the ending of this movie is a mystery.. we dont know its real or dream for sure.. even if we say about this wedding ring we still not sure perfectly cuz of that thing kept spinning till the end.. sry for the bad english
I dont wanna repeat myself on every video about the ending of this movie, but the ending means that he realizes that the top is not important. His children are. So, he forsakes the top for his children. Real, or dream.
i think the ending is a dream, i think Cobb is still in the basement under the Pharmacists shop, i dont think they brought him back to reality after he tested the seditive and all those Asians are acting as his family, Fisher doesnt exist, him and pretty much the whole movie(dream) was created to get Cobb to turn against his wife and delete her from his subconscious. And now that she's not a part of his subconscious anymore, in his dreams he wont have the wedding ring on
based on that theory, when they put Cobb under to test that Pharmacists seditive in the basement, they never brought Cobb back to reality because for the ending to be a dream and those Asiant acting as his family Cobb and the Asians all have to be connected to the same dream machine
Thats true, when he's in real life he doesnt have his wedding ring and at the end at the airport he didnt have his ring on so that tells us he's in reality but then why would they end the movie with that thing still spinning? Was his aim let us think we've solved it but at the same time leave us a little unsure? id rather be completely unsure but If he is still in a dream at the end, all those Asians in the basement under the pharmacists shop are acting as his kids and his father
It's really confusing but after watching it 6 times I think I've figured it out, thumbs up if you agree with me.
Remember Cob said that the totum can only be yours and only you can have the feel of it for it to have value. But, the spinning top was his wife's so every scene with the top is invalid. His real totum is his wedding ring. If you watch again you will notice he only has his wedding ring on in the dream, because he was still with Mal then. The whole movie is him in limbo.
@buhreezayyx3 good theory but that isnt true, i know it sounds impossible but i think you've gone too deep into the idea of the movie. Great idea though :)
@buhreezayyx3 good theory but that isnt true, i know it sounds impossible but i think you've gone too deep into the idea of the movie. Great idea though :) not to mention a totum is something you have in the real world and in the dreamworld so the ring would not be possible
This might be stupid but i will share it anyway. Remember that part when cobb went to test the elixir that yusuf gave him, before cobb went to sleep yusuf said the elixirs could go for about 40 hours... don't you guys think he woke up way to fast? And when he went to the bathroom and he tried to use his totem but it fell because saido interrupted him?... i think he was still dreaming
The kids' grandpa was there because he was going for christmas, remember in a call that Dicaprio made to his children he said he was going to send gifts when grandpa goes. Also, in that phone call, wasn't there a third kid named Phil?!
I think Christopher Nolan's just such a good director that people automatically assume his movies have some big, important meaning and he doesn't even have to try anymore.
good point about the granddad going from France to America so fast.. but if you remember in the movie (saw it in theatres, and again the other day!) that he introduces Leo's character to the girl, who became the architect. They trained and were getting the plans together for the plane trip.. could have taken several days, so its not suprising to me he was already waiting at the airport in america for Leo. awesome movie though!!
Just got myself a DVD and finally had a chance to watch the movie for the first time. Good punchline at the end but after playing the ending and the scenes a couple times im pretty sure Cobb was back in reality. Besides him not wearing the ring and the spinning top wobbling. Just compare near the end of scene 2 when he got a call from the kids, to the ending scene, the kids are taller, the daughter had a white t-shirt under the dress, wore diff shoes, n the boy had different color shorts too.
@nam1220 I agree with you...My brother and I did the same thing you did, we compared the children from his dream to the ones at the end and they are DEFINITELY different. I think Christopher Nolan had them dress similar just to make people think about it
This life is by definition an illusion [ looking from a quantum physics perspective ]. Only when we "die" = " "You are waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away."= we are going to reach the absolute reality. Until then, we are dreaming inside of a dream.
@kafka27 Afterlife,i know about that. Were you die and everything becomes more bright and clear, yet, at the same time, it feels as if someone is controlling your body, taking you into a better place.
It's called Dreaming. when you die you start to dream at first because your brain hasen't recognized the fact that your dead.
I think its simple...he wouldnt stay with his dream wife and dream kids...so why would he settle to just stay with his dream kids...i think he would have done anything to be with his real kids
I have a question. You know the totem that Cobb has? So, in reality it will obviously stop spinning because of gravity and all that. But I don't get why a totem can't stop spinning inside a dream. Anything can happen in dreams right? and everything is realistic. Wouldn't the totem stop spinning inside a dream too?
@IanMaster619 You know the kicks that wake them up, they are real, using the real use of gravity, same with the memento things they have, they bring them into the dream world, therefore they have the same recognition of gravity.
@Mostwantedo In my opinion Leo's character never got out of limbo, and the real ending is everyone waking up seeing that Cobb is dead (Well actually out of his mind) and they cry they get sad and then arrive....
On the other hand, the movie just cuts to the end with the totem rolling, maybe 0.05 seconds later it fell down...
Cobb is suposed to be wearing a wedding ring when dreaming, and NO wedding ring when awake...
at the last scene he has got NO wedding ring, so we conclude he actually did it
The ending where the totem seems to wobble could be that he is in his own dream so the totem falling means nothing anyway because if he is in his own dream he can control the outcome of the totem. It could also be that the top wobbles because his dream is unstable for some reason, that happens through the whole movie.
I think that the he is in a dream the whole movie because of the kids. They didn't have kids while they were experimenting with their dreams together otherwise why would they bother (I was under the impression they experimented with dreams to escape reality)? Then when they come out (or don't) of their experiments you are not told how or when they actually had children. I think the whole movie is Cobbs dream and he never really had any children or a wife.
@whyplaytheracecard But that would be such a terrible movie and like the guy said it's a total cop out. I mean it is the ultimate way to ruin the story just say none of it mattered it was all a dream.
and i also thought of all of the things he named. like how it started to topple over at the end and how his kids looked different at the begging and then changed differently at the end.

From the movie's first moment to the end,Cobb was in limbo and Mal(wich mean evil or bad in spanish) was the only one who woke up.that's my conclusion after I watched the movie first time,because when he started using her totem it was worthless and she always sabotaged him,she even said in different parts during the history things like:"what if I am the real one","we still can get old together",and one question: why the kids never changed?.his own idea had infected him(AUTOINCEPTION=FAITH).

i think...THAT HIS CHILDREN ARE REALLY ROOSTERS THAT HAVE TOOTHBRUSHES THAT SHOOT LASERS AND ARE REALLY TRYING TO MAKE EVERY ONE FREAKIN CRAZY SO WHEN EVERYONE THINKS THERE DREAMING THEY'LL HAVE SEX WITH MOTHER NATURE AND EVERYONE WILL THINK ITS NORMAL!

Also, why would Michael Caine be in a dream when he was pleading for Cobb to come back? Caine had left the dream world so if it was a dream at the end, he wouldn't have been there.

Plus, his kids ARE wearing different clothes. its just hard to spot. also, how did he get to los angeles so quickly? oh okay, we'll just watch about 2 hours of him getting into the airport, getting on to the plane, watching a few on board movies, etc. its called skipping past stuff we don't NEED to see. jeepers :L

Jesus Christ. The ending isn't IMPORTANT. its the fact he looked away from his totem which reveals how he doesn't care whether hes dreaming or not. he's just happy to see his children.

showan412 1 year ago
when we see the children's clothes at the first scene (in the memories of cobb) the little girl wears a red dress but under she seams to wear a white t-shirt....
AT THE LAST SCENE SHE ONLY WEARS A RED DRESS....
so this is why i think that the end is not a dream but reality...!!!
Min3ralakos 1 year ago
Could the ending scene when he's not wearing the ring also interpret the fact that he finally left Mal after the final dream sequence? So many theories...
ShortStuff014 1 year ago
Whether the dream is a reality or not isn't the important part. What's important is that Cobb was willing to accept whether he was in reality or a dream. If you'll notice, Cobb doesn't stay to watch the totem. He leaves it on the table. He doesn't care whether he's in a reality or not. What's really important to him is that he's with his children again.

when cobb wakes up from trying the sedative, he goes to the bathroom to splash his face with water. after doing so, he goes to spin his totem to ensure that he is in reality, though he is unsuccessful because he is interrupted by kato who appears at the door. the totem falls to the ground and there is a scene cut -- cobb is not shown to spin it again. what if everything after that is a dream, and he never woke up from the sedative?

Wouldn't the fact that the top is Mal's totum and not Cobb's affect it? When the idea of the totum is brought up, it's told that it's an object that only the specific person can use.
curly0805 1 year ago
@curly0805 yeah but since cobb knows all the aspects of the spinny top thingy its basically his, the only reason why one person can use a totem is so they can tell whether theyre in someone elses dream or not, since they are the only one s who know the weight of their totem

I dont wanna repeat myself on every video about the ending of this movie, but the ending means that he realizes that the top is not important. His children are. So, he forsakes the top for his children. Real, or dream.

i think the ending is a dream, i think Cobb is still in the basement under the Pharmacists shop, i dont think they brought him back to reality after he tested the seditive and all those Asians are acting as his family, Fisher doesnt exist, him and pretty much the whole movie(dream) was created to get Cobb to turn against his wife and delete her from his subconscious. And now that she's not a part of his subconscious anymore, in his dreams he wont have the wedding ring on
CHKNSFKN 1 year ago
based on that theory, when they put Cobb under to test that Pharmacists seditive in the basement, they never brought Cobb back to reality because for the ending to be a dream and those Asiant acting as his family Cobb and the Asians all have to be connected to the same dream machine
CHKNSFKN 1 year ago
Thats true, when he's in real life he doesnt have his wedding ring and at the end at the airport he didnt have his ring on so that tells us he's in reality but then why would they end the movie with that thing still spinning? Was his aim let us think we've solved it but at the same time leave us a little unsure? id rather be completely unsure but If he is still in a dream at the end, all those Asians in the basement under the pharmacists shop are acting as his kids and his father

It's really confusing but after watching it 6 times I think I've figured it out, thumbs up if you agree with me.
Remember Cob said that the totum can only be yours and only you can have the feel of it for it to have value. But, the spinning top was his wife's so every scene with the top is invalid. His real totum is his wedding ring. If you watch again you will notice he only has his wedding ring on in the dream, because he was still with Mal then. The whole movie is him in limbo.

good point about the granddad going from France to America so fast.. but if you remember in the movie (saw it in theatres, and again the other day!) that he introduces Leo's character to the girl, who became the architect. They trained and were getting the plans together for the plane trip.. could have taken several days, so its not suprising to me he was already waiting at the airport in america for Leo. awesome movie though!!

Just got myself a DVD and finally had a chance to watch the movie for the first time. Good punchline at the end but after playing the ending and the scenes a couple times im pretty sure Cobb was back in reality. Besides him not wearing the ring and the spinning top wobbling. Just compare near the end of scene 2 when he got a call from the kids, to the ending scene, the kids are taller, the daughter had a white t-shirt under the dress, wore diff shoes, n the boy had different color shorts too.

@nam1220 I agree with you...My brother and I did the same thing you did, we compared the children from his dream to the ones at the end and they are DEFINITELY different. I think Christopher Nolan had them dress similar just to make people think about it

This life is by definition an illusion [ looking from a quantum physics perspective ]. Only when we "die" = " "You are waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away."= we are going to reach the absolute reality. Until then, we are dreaming inside of a dream.

I have a question. You know the totem that Cobb has? So, in reality it will obviously stop spinning because of gravity and all that. But I don't get why a totem can't stop spinning inside a dream. Anything can happen in dreams right? and everything is realistic. Wouldn't the totem stop spinning inside a dream too?

@IanMaster619 You know the kicks that wake them up, they are real, using the real use of gravity, same with the memento things they have, they bring them into the dream world, therefore they have the same recognition of gravity.

In the other hand, Cobb rolled the totem a few times during the movie and it fell, which means that not tho whole movie was a dream.
Mostwantedo 1 year ago
@Mostwantedo In my opinion Leo's character never got out of limbo, and the real ending is everyone waking up seeing that Cobb is dead (Well actually out of his mind) and they cry they get sad and then arrive....
On the other hand, the movie just cuts to the end with the totem rolling, maybe 0.05 seconds later it fell down...
Cobb is suposed to be wearing a wedding ring when dreaming, and NO wedding ring when awake...
at the last scene he has got NO wedding ring, so we conclude he actually did it

The ending where the totem seems to wobble could be that he is in his own dream so the totem falling means nothing anyway because if he is in his own dream he can control the outcome of the totem. It could also be that the top wobbles because his dream is unstable for some reason, that happens through the whole movie.
That's my theory anyway.
whyplaytheracecard 1 year ago
I think that the he is in a dream the whole movie because of the kids. They didn't have kids while they were experimenting with their dreams together otherwise why would they bother (I was under the impression they experimented with dreams to escape reality)? Then when they come out (or don't) of their experiments you are not told how or when they actually had children. I think the whole movie is Cobbs dream and he never really had any children or a wife.
