Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

The ending of Titanic leads into the beginning of Inception. A movie within a movie. We need to go deeper.

[Regal4point1]

No I think his totem is his kids faces. Just think about it.

[bigcheesy95]

the only controversy about the ending is wheather or not the top stoped spining. if it fell then Leo is in reality and his kids are real. if it didnt fall then then leo is still in a dream and/or was in a dream the whole time. it definitely wobbled. In my opinion it wobbled enough for it to fall. So i think it was real. But you have no other reason (other than simple coincidences of dialog that this guy in the video is pointing out) to beleive that the whole movie is a dream.

I died at "killing murphy" and the "subconscious bird riot". The "intensities howling at the end" made me chuckle. I never realised that Michael Caine's Character becomes a mastermind that wants to get "revenge on the united healthcare" or doggies did something wrong with reunited capra. I also thought the "top spitting on the table" was kind of weird, but I let that slide.

[BlindBitsProductions]

Did anyone watch this with the captions on? Deaf people must be laughing their assess off.

[Tizzley]

@Madorem generic.... unless his kids were 80 years old oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh!

[JozieLeePro]

Fred Astaire Royal Wedding dance scene mimiced in Inception's fight scene with Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Impressive.

[201stars]

I think it adds another layer of emotion, because the audience may know someone or know something about skitzo in terms of the person not being able to distinguish reality from what's inside their mind, This deep sadness sets in that he might never see his kids again, that's only if you go with their interpretation.

[201stars]

you also have to remember the point of the totem is not determine whether or not you're in a dream, but rather whether you're in someone else's dream.

[zomfgniko]

The fact that he doesn't care about the totem at the end either means he knows it's not his true totem (and figures he's in reality), or he doesn't care if he's in the real world or not, he is where he wants to be.

Meaning, if it's a dream, that makes him a total douche bag for not giving a damn about whether or not his kids will have parents.
