Inception: Christian Bale Comments on the ending

The ending is quite simple to understand, but most people don't get it.

It's really odd because its staring them right in the face. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to realize the simplest answer is the most logical.

The ending isn't telling you if its real or a dream. This is done on purpose. It's trying to create uncertainty. Why?

Because the point of the ending is to make the audience feel disoriented like Cobb. To not know and question what is real and what is dream. That is all.

Nolan is creating the feeling in the audience that the main character experiences daily.

i really wonder now if he really did wake up... the totum wasnt really his to begin with, & he said at the start that u never let anyone touch ur totum... so wot was his totum before he got that one from his wife?

@obadets3 i didn't hear anything at the end of the credits

Nothing is for certain with this film, that's for certain.

@mnomic Its his wedding ring. Notice how he has it on in the dream world.

[deltadak]

It's his freaking wedding ring

[19Wylds95]

@mnomic his totum is his ring, his wife's totum is a distraction

ha ha ha ha "GIVE ME A FUCKING ANSWER!!!"

@mnomic it doesnt matter if it was hers, because she's dead. no one alive knows the feel of/ the weight of the spinning top besides him. and it doesn't matter if he woke up or not, chris nolan didn't want you to care about that. the significance of the ending is that he ignored the totum, and went to his kids. that's all he wanted. (btw if you really want an answer, he was awake, because he didn't have his wedding ring on. throughout the film cobb only wears it in dreams)

@mnomic i dont wanna ruin it for you but ill give you a hint. Remember the fact that Cobb can't dream naturally anymore. Also you find out that he lives off his memories. What was the main difference between his memories and his present reality? after you figure that out. Look of the object that represents a clear difference between the two. THAT, my friend, is his totem and the answer to this film.

I read the best answer a while ago on youtube. Don't remember where, though.

Basically - it doesn't matter anymore. He sees his children and he abandons the spinning top because it doesn't matter anymore. He just wants to be with his children and move on with his life. Whether he's still dreaming or awake is no longer relevant.
