[@tfpp1]

This is 100% an original story/script from Christopher Nolan. He actually had the idea some 10 years before the movie even came out. After his immense success of The Dark Knight, the studio basically said make whatever you want next, and he thought this was a good followup.

[@notmyrealname1730]

No it isn't. Nolan ripped off a Scrooge McDuck story called "The Dream of a Lifetime." Google it and take a look for youself.

[@notmyrealname1730]

The Dream of a Lifetime. Scrooge McDuck. Take a look and you'll see that Nolan stole the idea.

A few notes: 1) They actually did spin the hallway. They built a whole rig and built the set in a cylindrical setting, which they spun. There is video of it if you seek it out. 2) Everyone is saying you need to watch Interstellar, but some other great options by Nolan are Memento and The Prestige. 3) A lot of people cite Nolan saying that whether or not the top falls isn't the point, but Michael Caine said in an interview once that Nolan told him that any scenes he was in were the real world, so the end is the real world. Additionally 4) A lot of people think that Cobb's totem is the top. It's actually his wedding ring. In the dreams, he's wearing it, but in the real world, he's not. 5) The names of all the main Characters spell DREAMS (Dom, Robert, Eames, Ariadne, Mal, Saito)

[@Cadinho93]

"The real point of the ending is that Cobb isn't interested in looking at the top. He's looking at his kids. He's moved on." -Christopher Nolan Also, I love the end of this movie because they gave Cillian Murphy's character a happy ending. It doesn't matter that they manipulated him, he became happier in thinking his father did love him so much.

[@KoolKeithProductions]

But...is happiness based on a lie true happiness?

[@GhostWatcher2024]

​@KoolKeithProductions and what's more important... with Fisher, Cobb, or us... being miserable but knowing the truth? Or being happy in the lie we convince ourselves is true if that lie only affects our own self perception?

[@KoolKeithProductions]

@GhostWatcher2024 well that's the whole point of the movie, right? Cobb and his wife were happy in a lie. She wanted to stay but he wanted to go back home to the real world. He wanted to accept the truth, but that put him on a path to alter Fisher's life, who can never accept the truth, because he doesn't even know he's living a lie.

[@JK-bv5bt]

This film is aging beyond well at an exponential rate. Much like Shawshank. I predict in about 20 years, it will be on the Mt Rushmore of sci-fi films. A true and complete masterpiece. Damn near a perfect film.

[@Lyf4rMusic]

Damn right ! Like, even with current gen of sci-fi, this shit is like Miles beyond what anyone could come up with.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

Nolan loves practical, so if he can do it, it will be done. It was a physical spinning room with wires and choreography. The wedding ring on Cobb is one of the biggest indicator to the audience if he is in a dream or not. Ring on = Dream, No ring = reality.

[@phinlyn]

Inception has a special place in my heart, not only because of the movie itself, but also because it brought to me "Time" by Hans Zimmer, which is the theme playing at the movie's end when everyone is awakening on the plane. It is my FAVORITE piece of score both by Hans and any composer. EVER.

Possible spoiler of the outcome: There is a token that was persistent in the film; water. The water is either clear or monocolor in a dream. But in that final top spinning scene, there are a couple glasses of water of different colors. So Cobb can’t be dreaming.

[@isaiahpavia-cruz678]

I think Cobb’s totem was actually his wedding ring. The top was Mal’s. He wears it in the dream sequences but not in reality. They made a conscious effort to not to show his left hand at all in the final scenes, keeping the ambiguity of it all. I can still hear the load groans from the theater once the credits rolled 😂

[@getshwifty3101]

The ending is amazing! But there's actually a cool way to tell: Cobb's totem ISN'T the top. They even say it in the movie. Cobb's totem is his wedding ring. In the real world, he isn't wearing it. Since he isn't with Moll anymore. But in the dreams, he is, as he can't get over causing her death and can't let her go. In the end scene, he isn't wearing the ring.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

Notice how many people in this are from the Batman movies? Nolan loves his repeat actors. ^_^

Sam and Jake stood under the warm spray of the shower, steam swirling around them. Their laughter echoed off the tiles as they washed away the grime of the day. “You know,” Sam said, lathering shampoo into his hair, “I was reading this article about the history of hand jobs. It’s fascinating.” Jake chuckled, rinsing soap off his arms. “Only you would find that interesting. What did it say?” “Well,” Sam began, “it turns out that hand jobs were a common part of male bonding rituals in some cultures. It was more about camaraderie than sex.” Jake raised an eyebrow. “Really? That’s pretty wild. Imagine explaining that at a family dinner.” They both laughed, the sound blending with the noise of the water. “Hey, knowledge is power,” Sam grinned, rinsing his hair. Jake nodded, smiling. “Just another quirky piece of trivia for the books. Only you, Sam.”

[@joshkresnik6402]

From what little experience I’ve had I believe a dream within a dream is possible. I’ve had experiences myself where I woke up and then woke up a second time, and though the dream was deep, so therefore I can’t remember what I was dreaming about, what I distinctly remember was I was in there for a long time! And the physics of the dreamworld and time passing, it checks out to an extent. I don’t know if it’s been thoroughly proven or if it’s scientifically documented, but I have had experiences very similar that I can attest to

1- this may be my favorite story about letting go ever. We all recreate an avatar of lost loved ones in our mind. Such a fascinating way to look at loss, and finally letting go of it. 2- I could be crazy, but for me this is the second of a trilogy about time from Nolan, Memento, Inception, and Tenet. 3- Tenet is amazing but…. You kinda have to watch it ten times, and probably watch ten explanation videos to even get to the tip of the iceberg of how amazing that movie is. Great reaction as usual👌

[@alachad]

Now you need to see the Japanese animated film Paprika. Some would argue that is, at least, partially inspired this film. Bummed that part of your audio is cut out during the reaction, but glad that the discussion at the end appears to have full audio.

[@UncleMilo]

At the end, you see the top start to warble just at the cut. Honestly, for me, the top spinning non-stop would betray the WHOLE POINT of Cobb's catharsis and in my opinion make the movie less than. That's my take on it... and for me, the top does stop as Cobb finally came to terms with what he did and was finally ready to move forward.

[@elsamoneypenny8114]

Man, you guys really need to watch interstellar if you haven't already done so. Christopher Nolan at his genius best. Literally the most amazing film ever made

[@thefreedommovement]

Seconded. I mean, not my favorite film ever made, but it’s amazing, and they should watch it. Tho, SPOILERS… I’m still unclear why they needed to find a new planet AND solve gravity. With a new planet, they could just use rockets to move people there. With the space stations (solving gravity), they seem to be doing fine for decades with no new planet. So the NEED for both seems unclear.

First viewing i was so immersed in the dream levels, that i totally forgot they were on the plane 😳

[@KHAOE1]

Director Christoper Nolan said this film is the metaphor for filmaking. Each member of the team serves a role that has a movie analog. The Architect (Ellen Page) would be the production designer. The Forger (Tom Hardy) would be the actor. The Point Man (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) would be The Producer. The Extractor (DiCaprio) would be the director. And The Mark (Cillian Murphy) would be us-the audience.

I wish I had dreams of a whole other life when I was in a coma. Nope. Just fever dreams that had me sucked into the horrific ceiling tiles saying "Stop. Fall Risk."

As I’ve heard it Inception was a ten year writing project for Christopher Nolan. Only his next film - that wasn’t Batman - Interstellar was as all consuming. These are my two favorite Nolan films for all the care and creativity infused into them and how they both really get you in the feels!

[@hitchcockisthegoat]

The snow fortress was based on the snow fortress of his favorite James Bond movie, 1969’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. A lot of the snow action scenes were paying homage to that Bond movie. Nolan has called Inception his “Bond” movie.

Hear me out. Sito was the target all along. Think about how the movie starts. Why would you hire someone that failed a job for your job? And you see Cobb getting to a safe to mess with his wife's memories. Fisher's safe was massive. But the safe of Cobb wife. And saito's safe were small personal safe's. But more than anything.

So one note: The spinning top was Mal’s totem, not Cobb’s. And if _anyone_ knows about your totem it’s worthless. The running theory is that Cobb’s totem is actually his wedding ring.

[@VillainHoor]

So, if Cobb’s totem is his wedding ring, why does he spin the Mal’s totem to differentiate between dreams and reality? I’m not asking to be a smart ass. I’m just trying to understand your idea. 😊

[@XeonAlpha]

@@VillainHoor directorial misdirection. He spins the top but we never actually get confirmation that he believes it means he’s in a dream or not, it’s just implied and assumed. But again it was never his totem, it was Mal’s, and that _is_ explicitly defined. The fact that he can’t be trusted as an architect because of her invading his dreams would strongly suggest it would be foolish for him to rely on _her_ object to determine _his_ reality. Especially since the whole “what is and isn’t a dream” is kind of what wrecked his entire life. The ring might not actually be it. It’s just been suggested because we only ever see him wearing it when he’s dreaming. Makes a bit of sense though. A dream architect would put it on his finger but in reality it could just be in his pocket and only he would be able to tell the difference. The top on the other hand is too obvious. Multiple people seem to know the “trick” making its use as a totem pointless.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

@@chriscypert8616 Nobody said anything about spinning the ring. The first time that we see him spin the top, he grabs a gun and raises it near his head. Once it stopped spinning, he puts the gun down. The 2nd time we see him spin it was after he wakes up from training Ariadne. Once it stopped spinning, he lets out a huge sigh of relief. The 3rd time was when he finally went home, and he spins the top w/ a concerned look on his face. Now you're telling us that all three of those scenes are just him randomly reminiscing?
