The True Ending Of Inception FINALLY Revealed

Michael Caine had some interesting things to say about th ending of Inception! Subscribe to our channel: goo.gl/ho3Hg6
Inception has been out for eight years and the film has so much mystery built into it that fans are still talking and debating about it til this day. Recently, some pretty crazy information was revealed by one of the biggest stars of the film: Michael Caine. The revelation may completely change the way you look at the movie and give you some clear answers on the ambiguous ending.
While watching Inception, one of the biggest questions viewers have is whether the characters are actually in a dream state or not. There are so many different layers to the dreams, it’s hard to figure out what scenes actually take place in reality. The actors felt the same way while making the film and it was actor Michael Caine who got the clearest answers about the movie. In Inception, the totem doesn’t need to reveal if Leonardo DiCaprio’s character is in reality, because his own father-in-law can do it. Michael Caine revealed that every scene he was in was based in reality and his character does not appear in any dream sequences. Knowing this information, fans can rewatch the original film and help decipher a number of the scenes, including the dramatic ending. Watch to see the truth revealed about Inception and learn how your view of the ending may change with more information from the core cast of the movie. The movie still holds up today and is a fun psychological thriller and may go down as one of the best Christopher Nolan films of all-time.

No the end is dream because children are not aged..they are playing as same when he left,also totum struggle in end suggesting it would fall..yes it falls because in limbo instead of DiCaprio the rich guy uses it so it loses its power..now its rich guys totum..nolan has done inception on us through michael and made us believe its reality

[@flori-bloom]

@@harrymmc3579 Wow! Yes! Thank you for this perspective!

[@dillpickle7583]

The whole point of the ambiguous ending is that Nolan is saying that Cobb doesn’t care if he’s dreaming or not anymore. He’s reunited with his children and that is the reality he has chosen to accept.

[@SamA-cl5pn]

I think if you look at the clues and the logic of the story, you'd have to conclude that Cobb came back to reality. The only reason he said that "Cobb doesn't care" is because he wanted this to be discussed forever cementing it in movie history forever. Cobb didn't care about the totem telling him it's reality is because seeing his kids is enough of a sign that he's in reality.

[@DeltaTED24]

EXACTLY thank you

[@amanSpawn00]

Dill Pickle dream reality is always so close yet so far away. So once he was able to actually see his kids and Caine, he realizes it’s reality. The part he was never able to imagine, seeing who his kids became versus who he left them as. The totem wobbling has other messages too. Signifying that both realities are dreams(one in which we’re having dreams and one where we chase the dream life). He’s living his dream life. Thus he’s living in both worlds.

[@HebrewsElevenTwentyFive]

Inception's plot is actually straight-forward and doesn't "lie" about when they are dreaming vs. the real world. What's brilliant about it is it incepts the idea that he isn't in reality at the end (even though he is), by planting the seed of the idea with the spinning top, JUST AS COBB DID WITH HIS WIFE. The audience ends up with the same affliction as she does-questioning the reality of the film, and coming up with elaborate and convoluted theories to support the idea that he's still in a dream. But there is no logical reason to believe he's still dreaming; the spinning top is the only reason we start doubting (if he hasn't spun the top and just went straight outside to see his kids, we wouldn't wonder if it's still a dream). Just like Cobb's wife had no logical reasons to doubt reality, only the nagging idea left behind from the spinning top in their dream. This is the best thing about Inception; Nolan pulled off an inception on the audience, just as Cobb pulled it off on his wife

There are two reasons I think the ending was “real”. 1. In the beginning of the movie they say that Cobb has lost his ability to dream. He is only able to project memories. The children turning and looking at him is not a memory; and, neither is Michael Caine in his memory of being in the house.

[@PinkeySuavo]

That doesnt make much sense, you keep totem with you to check it easily if you're dreaming.

[@joseislanio8910]

@@PinkeySuavo not really. A totem isn't specifically an object. It may be any idea or situation that the one dreaming uses to differentiate reality from a dream. Even though it's a movie, lucid dreams are a real thing, and there are lots of ways to become aware that you're dreaming.

[@PinkeySuavo]

@@joseislanio8910 yeah, though he cant bring his kids to himself at any time, because there are miles away. So he had to have other way to check if its a dream

[@tklam2510]

I agree with you. In fact, Cobbs has many totems and one of them is his children's faces. Once in the movie, Mal calls the kids to show off and Cobbs just looks away to make sure that he won't see the children's faces. Cos if he did, he will be lost!

When he first leaves his children without saying goodbye, his last image is them running off to play with their back turned to him and he couldnt see their face and that was his last memory of them. That's why every projection of them in the movie you cant see their face. In the last scene when he spins his top and he realizes that his kids turned and looked at him he knew it was reality and didnt need to see the top stop spinning.

Cobb never says *his* totem, only that it belongs to his wife. I think the wedding ring (or lack thereof) is his *true* totem. He seemed too smart & too mistrusting of a man to tell anyone else. Epsecially Ariadne, who clearly was crushing on him & got way too involved mid way through the movie.

[@yweerakkody7472]

I agree with the ring being his totem part, but I don't think that Ariadne likes or is infatuated with Cobb since she only tries to help him and hopes that he will overcome his trauma and guilt. In a sense, she seems like a mentoring friend rather than a love interest. Idk tho it's up to our interpretation so haha.

I always interpreted the ending of the movie as real, and the totem being left behind signifies that he's finally reached his goal to be with his children, hence his dream life. He doesn't need the totem anymore, because he doesn't need to dream or be woken up, he's exactly where he is supposed to be in reality.

[@unknownperson-zo3me]

the totem wasn't his it was his wife's and he was in reality you can see in dreams he has ring in his left hand and in reality he doesn't wear the ring.. and sorry for my bad English

[@GripReactor]

When Cobb initially leaves his house (in reality) he is unable to take a last look at his kids who are playing. Due to this in his dream sequences too whenever he sees his kids he can't see their face but can just see them the way he had last seen them with their backs towards him. However in the final scene Cobb is able to see their face thus revealing that he is indeed in reality.

[@SamA-cl5pn]

No he chooses not to see them in dreams because if he does, he will stay. That’s why when his wife called to the children, Cobb looked away before they turned around

bro it took years and years for us to finally be able to know whether he was in limbo or not....

[@veloxlupus303]

It can still easily all be a dream. That’s what I suspect, that Mal was actually correct. There is a lot of evidence; dreamlike sequences and cut in the “real world”. Plus the ring is hardly definitive. Totems only tell you what level you are in relative to the level you created the totem in. If Cobb created the ring in a dream level that we were told is “reality” then sure it would work for all other levels, but the movie would all still be in a dream. Plus Nolan’s comment to Cain still works because “reality” is defined in the movie as the level Cain is in. But it doesn’t mean that that is objective reality. It’s only the relative reality of where the movie is shot. But it could (and seems to be) all a dream.

[@ShikhaNB]

Okay, but then explain this to me: they said killing each other in the last dreams wouldn't work since they were heavily sedated. Instead, it would make them end up in a Limbo. When Cobb goes to find Saito, who's grown old, Saito picks up a gun to come back to reality. NOT A KICK. And in the next minute, you see them all waking up in the plane. To me, that's a sign that both Saito and Cobb are still in Limbo...

[@Retnyw]

This is exactly what I am saying

[@rajatbisht21]

Yusuf tells that when the sedation gets reduced, it is possible to return by killing themselves during the kiddnaping of Fischer Jr.

[@aaandSCENE]

Also, theyre in limbo - not a dream. Limbo is where you completely lose sense of reality like he and Mal did stuck down there to grow old all of those years. Laying on the train tracks and killing themselves was also the way that Cobb and Mal were able to escape limbo and come back to reality.

Owen Russell the ending in shutter Island is neither if he is a prisoner or a guard. He IS a prisoner, but the ending is whether he is cured or not by his “disease” of killing his own family. Why do you think he doesn’t react on the calling of his “stage name” when taken to having lobotomy? Because he is his own self again (Who knows that he is insane and on an island at an asylum). And the 2nd clue is his quote at the end of the movie, his last sentence.. “What would be worse: to live as a monster, or to die as a good man” He now KNOWS that he is a monster (by killing his family) and therefor if he admits that the “show” they did for him actually worked, he now has to live with that - aka living as a monster.. Or die as a good man? Now knowing what the truth is, he can die peacefully without having to live as the monster he is, But the good man he was on the Island

If Michael Caine's character is real...why is he wearing the same suit throughout the movie?

[@nehh_aksat]

Actually, it was reality because in dreams, Cobb wore a wedding ring and in reality, he didn't. He said that he would be able to see his children's faces only if he returned to his home in reality, so basically Cobb's real totem is his children. And, you can clearly see that the totem was going fall before the screen went black, so the conclusion is that he was in reality Another reason is that whenever Cobb dreams, his children always wore the same clothes but in the ending, his children wore different clothes.

[@Heather_no_numbers]

Once I saw the wedding ring when he was dreaming I knew what was reality and what wasnt. And they made it hard to spot the wedding ring in the final scene too when Cobb wakes up on the plane.

I think Nolan left the ending ambiguous intentionally, but we’re getting wrong exactly what the mystery is. There are a numerous amount of clues why he’s awake, but everyone forgets the top isn’t Cobb’s totem, it’s Mal’s. Whether or not the top stops spinning doesn’t represent whether or not he’s in a dream, but rather whether he’s truly let her go or if he still clings to her memory

Saito and Cobb needed some type of reminder in limbo of the mission..because going into limbo is like waking up where it's easy to forget you were dreaming. Saito killed Cobb then himself. It had to of been reality because Ariadne (the architect) never designed the plane level (which was reality) and how could she have created such a stable dreamscape of a plane travelling so far. (I don't know the capabilities of the dream sharing technology) If she did ..they would have told us. I also agree with the wedding ring being his real totem. But maybe he needed a second totem to confirm his mad reality lol.. Who knows.. Clearly Cobb was destroying himself with this dream sharing technology.
