For me, this is Nolan's magnum opus. The originality, the detail, the perfect execution of plot and character exploration. The construction and direction of an exceptional core cast who all deliver tonal, powerfully nuanced performances. The carefully planned, superbly executed physical effects that bring scale and command wonder. All backed by Zimmer's majestic suite that saddens, challenges and uplifts the film-lovers soul, ducking and weaving expertly alongside the narrative beats. I am so grateful Nolan chose to delay Inception until it could be granted the budget it needed to bring this all together. It is truly a phenomenal work of art. On the ending, for me there is only one option, and that is Cobb being finally awakened, after years of existing on dreams alone, now he can live that reality he has been kept away from for so long. He can finally look upon the faces of his children. Miles, who is a grounding presence in Cobb's real world, told him early in the film "Come back to reality, Dom, please". He finally has, he's finally home, and our ending has delivered the conclusion of the greatest dream in the whole film: Cobb's desire for a satisfaction that only reality could offer him.
When I came home on leave from deployment, the music from this scene was on in my headset as I landed and walked through the airport to my family waiting for me. It really resonated with me because I dreamed about being at or going home almost every time I slept, and every time I woke up in the desert still there it was depressing. Hearing this score makes me tear up every time, because that look of disbelief Cobb has upon waking is a feeling I’ve known and will never forget.

It always gave me the general vibe of someone coming home from deployment even though I personally have never experienced this (other than my cousin going through it when I was 12).

Cobb ends up with what maters most to him. He gets to come home without worry. He gets his children back. The only thing missing is his wife. But he has come to terms with that.
Props to Saito for waking up from a life-long dream and still remembering which phone number to dial. Also I'd probably be spending 2 hours by that conveyor belt trying to remember how my suitcase looks
For some reason I love the brief look that Fischer gives Cobb at baggage collection. It's a look of, 'Where do I know this guy from..?' 😂. It's so mind-blowing considering the journey they experienced together in the dream. What a masterpiece this movie is...
Superb acting from Cillian Murphy. This scene and the scene just after they wake up he says so much without saying a single word (other than thanking the stewardess)
“I’ve come back for you” “To remind you of something” “Something you once knew that this world is not real” “To convince me to honor our arrangement” “To take a leap of faith yes” “Come back so we can be young men together again”
At 2:17 the different tones the phone makes as he’s dialling in the number are actually in the same key as the music, which I find to be an incredibly nice little touch. Goes to show how much sound and music really go together to make movies immersive. I also find it kinda satisfying how the end title card shows up perfectly in beat, even though it’s such a simple thing. Perfectly synchronised, which really is a theme prevalent throughout this movie
I never really cry in movies but Christopher is the person that made me in movies like Interstellar and inception, these both ending were fabulous and vert emotional
@@itamarziskind993 I hope one day to do exactly the same. I haven't flown since about 2009 since the family got a dog. But hopefully one day I'll finally get the chance again. And when I do, I'll absolutely have this music playing in my headphones. :)
It's weird, when I imagined a different ending in which it's clear whether this is real, I liked the actual ending far more. I found myself not wanting to know whether this is real, and then realized that's exactly what Cobb is feeling at that moment.
@@RendezvousWithRama The spinning top isn't cobb's totem, it's his wife's. He just keeps it as a way to remember her, but his real totem is his wedding ring. In his dreams he is still married to Mal. He knows he's in a dream when it's on his finger and not in his pocket. I think the more important takeaway is that even if it was his totem, he didn't bother to wait and see it drop. It shows that he is at peace and doesn't care if he's in a dream. He just wants to be with his family.
It matters because the whole movie he avoided mal so that he could live in the reality. He had even kids in the dreams. He wanted to take care of real children not fake ones.
The spinner is Mal's totem. This time the kids actually looked at Cobb, something they never did before, previously they would run off without acknowledging his presence.
@@doxholiday1372why are the kids wearing the same clothes as the start of the movie when he's "dreaming?" Who is watching the kids when Michael Caine went to pick Leo DiCaprio up from the airport? They don't show a sitter & even if one is there in the house not seen why did they leave 2 small children alone? Leo is still dreaming. But that's okay, he'll figure that out when he puts his children down & eventually turns back to see the totem is still spinning which makes all speculation of this scene not matter anyway because eventually Leo will discover the result of the totem on the table lol
It’s funny you say this cause I’ll never forget the dream I had after seeing it. I was jumping on a trampoline that was suspended over a hole the size of a stadium. Just an endless pit into nothing. Was jumping for as high and as long as I wanted to, flying around doing back flips and corkscrews. After a while I said to myself, oh this is a dream, and I now have the knowledge that if I tear open this trampoline I’ll go into free fall and wake myself up. Cut a tear in the trampoline and within seconds of falling I woke up.
On the table his totem spun, and spun. Within a moment it would either fall, or remain spinning endlessly. His son and daughter, laughing and yelling, ran over to Cobb as he opened his arms and embraced. And the totem,
sadly there is way too much proof that he wasnt dreaming anymore bc i would have liked it more if he still was indicating another part but sadly Cobb chose this as his reality 🥲
@@Killercoldice22 It doesn't matter for him. This is a point of this scene. And I would say that it could be still spinning. Look at the scene in dream. It also did not spin with confidence all the time.
The point of the ending is that it didn’t matter to Cobb. If it was a dream so be it if not so be it. At that moment he was happy. That’s all that mattered. Eventually cobb would have walked back into the house and seen the totem either spinning or falling.
@amatullahsaafir685 Interstellar is another Christopher Nolan film that's also scored by Han Zimmer, and it's arguably at the same level of storytelling as Inception. And you should definitely check out Nolan's Batman trilogy (scored by Zimmer) . Also, some of Zim's greatest work are in Dune part 1 & 2. There's also Dark Phoenix, although the main theme is 1) probably Han's most epic piece of music so far, 2) about the only part of the movie worth liking, so you should probably just listen to it for free on RUclips instead of watching the movie.
@@robertroach9157I was lucky enough to see him live last night. It’s a concert I’ll never forget. And just like this movie, he ended the concert with Time
I saw this film whist travelling in from UK to NZ. My first ever big adventure. I felt like i didn't blink for the entire film and left questioning the reality I was in! Amazing.
One of my favorite films of all time. Movies like this are why the theatre experience is so amazing. I remember going to watch this and it was all quiet until the credits. Everyone clapped and cheered. All of us were floored. It was amazing. We dont get many movies like this now, but thats what makes a good one so special. Still in my top 10 to this day.
There are other movies that compare equally to this movie on the level of action, philosophy, and named actors, but will never BE this movie. Inception was a generation defining movie that could only be described as a work of art, an original piece.
Man,This is Absolutely A Masterpiece.Holds Up Even After 14 Years,And Still Doesn’t Know If He’s In Real World Or Not.But The Brillance Of Cinema Is Represented Here. I Always Conclude That He’s Not In Real World Because According to Me,That He Is Accepting The Choice Given To Him And The Author Tells That Seeing And Living With His Children Are His Primary Goal And He Doesn’t Care About If The Top is Spinning or Not.The Music With The Absolute Cinematography Shows That Top Is Spinning and Deflects A Bit At Last But Keeps Spinning.Hence He’s In Dream And He Accepts What He Has. This Shows That “Living With His Children Completes His Life Rather Than Anything In This World” ❤❤❤❤❤
Perfect comment. I saw this movie when i was a teen in theaters. I now have a teen child. Clearly I'm still wondering. Hence the search for the ending. Lol.
Nobody noticed that he is dead? He never got out of the water in that bus falling in the river. The others got out before they drowned but he did not.....
I'll never forget seeing this movie in the theater. When the screen cut to black, everybody gasped. It may have been Nolan's intent for the scene to show that Cobb didn't care about the top, but what was SO mind-blowing was coming to the realization that he might still be dreaming.
The thing with the ending, when you think about it, is that now, you are just going to be thinking about it for a long time. In short, you´ve been the subject of an INCEPTION yourself. Bravo, Nolan. Pure genius
I love this ending. I know it ends on an ambiguous note, but I believe it's real life and not a dream for two reasons: 1. Usually when Cobb dreamt of his children or even thought about them, their faces remained unseen. This time, the children turn and face him. They even run to their father and embrace him, whereas during the dreams and flashbacks, they either walk out of Cobb's sight, or they're being led away. 2. Usually in Cobb's dreams, the totem spins and spins without any interruption. This time, it wobbles as if it's about to fall any moment, we just don't witness it. Just my two cents. 😀
honestly i dont really think it matters. they dont die in the dreams regardless. if it was a dream then eventually he will wake up and it will be real life.
@@BW-dn7dy that’s not how it works in limbo, he’s to many layers deep within his subconscious to be woken up by dying, he would need a simultaneous kick
He also wears a wedding ring within his dreams. Throughout the entire scene, there is no ring- even at the house with his kids if you look quite closely.
This scene is beautiful I was going through an existential crisis thinking maybe it’s all fake. This movie made me realize it doesn’t matter it’s about being happy and enjoying your family.
The Beauty of this ending is that it doesn’t matter if the totem stopped or continued to spin. Cobb has accepted this as his reality whether he is still dreaming or not. This film is a masterpiece
The real token is the ring. He wasn’t wearing it in the last scene. The kids are older the turned their faces to him. His professor was also around in this last scene. It wasn’t a dream. Does it matter though? Cobb doesn’t care anymore as he was too overjoyed to notice that the token did fall. Director Nolan.
People in dreams can appear differently - look at Saito: In limbo he was old and ancient. This means his kids can appear older in a dream as well. The ring is a symbol that he doesn't know what is real anymore. He can easily take off the ring or put it back on - it represents Cobbs confusion. Mal in limbo (who is actually Cobbs own mind and his thoughts) says this: "you don't know whats real anymore". The ending was never confirmed. Michael Caine said that his scenes were real but that was never confirmed by Nolan actually. Christopher Nolan has said: It doesn't matter if its real or not in the end. Cobb is happy and reunited with his kids. In my opinion - they have all been stuck in a dream from before the movie began. They were simply remembering everything that led to them getting stuck in limbo.
The greatest mystery from this film is how people are somehow confused by the ending like the movie didn't explain everything you needed to know. It's reality, why? The top in the dream constantly spins perfectly, it doesn't wobble or stop, so the fact it wobbles shows you it's reality. For people commenting about his wedding ring, it's irrelevant, it's explained in the movie to Ariadne that totems are just a reality check and the reason you keep them to yourself is so that only you know the weight, size and properties of the totem so it's not tampered with. That's all totems are, they aren't soul bound to only work for specific people, its just a tool to check reality with and as Cobbs wife is no longer around that means he can use hers if he chooses and it'll work the same as his own totem. If you're somehow questioning this movie's ending you would have literally had to not pay attention to one of the key concepts throughout the film.
Come to think of it, it was never waiting for the top to stop spinning that frightened Cobb, it was anticipating seeing his kids faces but always waking up from another dream before seeing them. You can see his anxiety anticipating waking up from another dream after he spun the top, as well as seeing the top begin to stop spinning in then last few frames. Great ending that sees our protagonist get closure.
After re-watching this scene after watching the entire movie earlier today, I think it is reality based on everyone’s expressions in the plane, however, that damn top is spinning longer than usual.
Reality as best I can tell. The Father was only ever in the reality scenes. And the kids have grown and have on different shoes than the earlier scenes they are always shown in. Plus, in the credits they are played by different older kids if that helps showing it was no longer a dream and they had aged.
When he's dreaming, he has his wedding ring, which is his actual true totem, however, none of the scenes taking place in reality has he wearing it, including the ending, if you look at screenshots, or pause the video frame by frame when his hands are visible, you can see he doesn't have his ring, so yeah, he was not dreaming.
It matters that ending is reality because the whole movie Leonardo avoided Mal so that he could live in the reality. He had even kids in the dreams with Mal. But He wanted to take care of real children not fake ones. Purpose was to give real children the best future not to fake children.
I have a similar situation... It's been a year since I can't come back home country for a reason... This scene gives me hope I will come back and see my boy.Amen
Doms eyes between the 2:12 to 2:14 timeframe spoke volumes. That stare, that anger, as if he was yelling at Saito to fulfil his end of the deal. Masterful acting by Leonardo Dicaprio
I never understood the ambiguity of this scene that has apparently plagued - or intrigued - countless others. you can CLEARLY see the top falter. If you're familiar with tops - or, uh, physics - then you know that's that. It falls. Reality. Still a great ending, despite the lack of ambiguity; that Cobb walks away, and doesn't care whether it's a dream or not, is the true marvel of the scene.
The ending is NOT ambiguous. We see that the top slows down and starts to wobble. What does that imply? That it's going to topple. What did they establish in the movie? That the top keeps spinning if Cobb is dreaming and that it falls over if he's awake. Well, a wobbling top means it WILL fall over. The thing is Nolan respected the audience's intelligence enough to know what he was implying without having to spell it out completely. Had he waited for the top to fall and THEN cut to black, everyone would've been like _"Oh, well, way to spell everything out for us, Nolan. No subtlety at all."_ But instead he didn't show it tumble BUT he gave us a hint that it would, which is very respectable of him. But it backfired completely cuz most viewers who saw this were like _"We didn't see the top fall over, it COULD be a dream!_ Cuz general audiences today need EVERYTHING spoon-fed to them cuz implications (no matter how obvious) are too just subtle nowadays. It highlights how dense the general audience has become. It's depressing.
I disagree with you fine sir. I do agree Nolan respects the audience and their ability to figure things out. But this ending is more a metaphor. It’s a metaphor for the question we keep asking ourselves. “Is this the end?” Is what Cobb thought to himself as he spun that top, but as he sees his kids again, and can finally see their beautiful faces. That question leaves him… and ends up in our hands. Is he finally finished? Is this reality? COULD this be a dream? We wonder. The top is a metaphor for not knowing what comes next. It’s a symbol that shows us no matter how hard we think we know what happened, we don’t. And I think it’s absolutely genius. I understand your gripes with modern audiences, but this movie didn’t have that problem. This ending was a masterfully done, open ending QUESTION, left in the hands of the viewer. That’s my take.
@@SeveralDolphin8 _"I disagree with you fine sir."_ Disagree with what? Everything I stated was a fact. Tops need momentum to keep spinning, fact. Loss of momentum results in the top falling over, fact. The film establishes that the top will keep spinning in a dream, fact. Tops fall to indicate it's not a dream, fact. As they lose momentum, tops wobble before they fall, fact. The top is shown to wobble before the screen cuts to black, fact. Showing the audience the top falling over completely has no subtlety and would've generated criticism, fact. And Nolan knows that because he's a very intelligent filmmaker, fact. Implying that the top will fall is more effective than showing it, fact. There's nothing to disagree with. _"The top is a metaphor for not knowing what comes next"_ That literally makes no sense since the characters in the film use their totems to give them information, the totems are not meant to leave them in the dark. And again, if it's a dream, then why is the top wobbling? What's that interpretation? Wobbling means it'll fall. That's not ambiguous. Also, _Inception_ is not one of those films filled with symbolism and metaphors. It was all a concept movie from Nolan. He's way more of a technical filmmaker and not so much an emotional one or one to make grand statements about humanity. This isn't the script of _The Graduate, Rocky, Se7en, Whiplash_ or _American Beauty_ that are all littered with symbolism and subtext. _Inception_ was just a high concept sci-fi action movie with a cool premise. The subplot of Cobb and his wife was merely shoehorned in to give the movie an emotional core because movies are required to have them. So, on the surface, it appears that this film is not completely all style and no substance. Even though it actually is, cuz you can clearly tell that the subplot with Cobb and his wife was the thing that interested Nolan the least. He obviously cared way more about showing off dream concepts in a big budget blockbuster (like lucid dreaming, dream physics, the kicks to wake you up, not knowing how dreams start, dream within a dream, the shifts in gravity etc.). The "emotional" story is the thing that audiences connect to and remember the least. Viewers only seem to remember the cool concept of the movie, the hallway fight scene etc. The technical stuff. The only time they mention the Cobb family storyline is to debate if it's a dream or not. But it doesn't seem like anyone's actually devastated if Cobb isn't actually with his kids. I never found Nolan to be particularly effective at handling emotion in his films, as he's clearly a way more cerebral filmmaker than a sentimental one. He's not Spielberg or Edward Zwick. So, if the ending is a dream, then what's the timeline of events that transpire in the film that would allow it to happen? The other characters wake up in the van from the kick and wait to wake up on the plane-- all they're doing is waiting for the sedative to wear off. Cobb enters limbo and finds Saito who has aged into a very old man. At the dinner table they're eating at, Cobb reminds Saito of their agreement, and they reach for the gun with the intention of ending the dream and then it cuts to them waking up on the plane, implying they did end their dream together using the gun. So, if Cobb waking up on the plane (and subsequently going home) is a dream, then when and where does he dream that? At what point does he start imagining all this in his head? Does he dream into another dream layer while he's in limbo, a dream within limbo? You can't! It's established in the film that limbo is the last dream level, there's no dream level above it. If you die in limbo, you wake up (as what happened to Cobb and his wife in the middle of the movie). Nothing in the film suggests that Cobb slips into another dream. None of the major plot points in the movie give the audience clues of ambiguity that the story could go either way. Literally the only thing people debate is the last two seconds. But for the ending to be ambiguous and possibly be a dream, there needs to be hints to suggest it as a possibility prior to that. Like in _Total Recall,_ we don't know for sure if the ending is real or not cuz the movie sows seeds of doubt that Arnold is really awake throughout the runtime, with multiple characters telling him he's dreaming etc. There's none of that in _Inception._ And again, if it's a dream, then what's the point of the film? That the team failed in their mission to get Fischer to start his own company? That Cobb and Saito can't wake up from limbo? That they're both stuck sedated on the plane while the others awake? There's no thematic point to any of those outcomes. Not to mention, there's no events or hints in the film that indicate this is happening. I'm gonna be even more cynical and take this one step further. I'm quite certain Nolan knows that the general audience is quite dense and needs to be spoon-fed everything. Smart people know that he was implying that the wobbling top will fall (because that's what wobbling tops do), but Nolan knew if he didn't show it fall on camera, then the masses would debate the ending for years on end. It was his cynical way to keep people discussing the film well into the future. It's just like the ending of _The French Connection._ All we hear is the final gunshot and the screen cuts to black and people have been debating the "ambiguity" for decades, even though nothing ambiguous happens in the movie prior to the ending. But then, director William Friedkin admitted he did it solely to end the movie with a bang... literally. Friedkin admitted it had no deeper meaning but it kept people talking about his film, which he wanted. The ending of _Inception_ is exactly that.
Nolan himself has said that "audiences trying to figure out whether the ending is a dream or not are slightly missing the point." The ending didn't "backfire" on him at all. It's meant to be ambiguous, which is how most audiences perceived it.
@@The12thDimension. _"It's meant to be ambiguous, which is how most audiences perceived it."_ So what if most audiences perceive it as ambiguous? The average IQ of moviegoers is 100. The general audience isn't that smart. Just because most people who need everything spoon-fed to them these days think that the ending is ambiguous... doesn't mean it actually is. And no, the ending is not meant to be ambiguous, it's meant to be IMPLIED. And also, did you read anything I read about wobbling tops losing momentum?
@rustincohle2135 I don't really give a shit about the momentum of spinning tops, honestly. I'm just saying that the literal director of the film says that there's no right or wrong answer, and trying to prove theres a correct one is missing the point.
Everyone always asks if Cobb is still dreaming at the end. But, the way I see it, it doesn’t matter to him. He came to grips with Mal being gone. He did the job to the absolute best of his ability. He’s back in his home, with his children. Be it a dream or not, he doesn’t care anymore. He’s home. He’s back with his kids. He’s won. And Hans Zimmer’s score absolutely NAILS that feeling.
Hans zimmer and Christopher Nolan are like peanut butter and jelly Their combo is amazing 👌🏽 time Is one of the greatest film score songs ever and is so simple in music theory It works perfectly 🥹 what they did with this film is just so iconic
This movie had and has such a profound effect on me. I first saw it while going through one of the worst times in my life. The whole dreaming the impossible, overcoming the impossible resonates with me. You are on a long painful journey but finally home.
I feel so happy that the truth behind the ending was leaked by Micheal Caine. There are a lot of other hints that tell you he is actually free but that just solidified it.

The construction and direction of an exceptional core cast who all deliver tonal, powerfully nuanced performances.

On the ending, for me there is only one option, and that is Cobb being finally awakened, after years of existing on dreams alone, now he can live that reality he has been kept away from for so long. He can finally look upon the faces of his children. Miles, who is a grounding presence in Cobb's real world, told him early in the film "Come back to reality, Dom, please". He finally has, he's finally home, and our ending has delivered the conclusion of the greatest dream in the whole film: Cobb's desire for a satisfaction that only reality could offer him.

@@RendezvousWithRama The spinning top isn't cobb's totem, it's his wife's. He just keeps it as a way to remember her, but his real totem is his wedding ring. In his dreams he is still married to Mal. He knows he's in a dream when it's on his finger and not in his pocket. I think the more important takeaway is that even if it was his totem, he didn't bother to wait and see it drop. It shows that he is at peace and doesn't care if he's in a dream. He just wants to be with his family.
This movie was just absolutely genius. Just genius
I interperet this scene not like it’s still in this dream but like he’s truly living that dream.
It matters not that the totem stopped spinning but that Cobb stopped looking.
It matters because the whole movie he avoided mal so that he could live in the reality. He had even kids in the dreams. He wanted to take care of real children not fake ones.
The spinner is Mal's totem. This time the kids actually looked at Cobb, something they never did before, previously they would run off without acknowledging his presence.
@@doxholiday1372oh look finally found someone on my timeline 😭
@@doxholiday1372why are the kids wearing the same clothes as the start of the movie when he's "dreaming?" Who is watching the kids when Michael Caine went to pick Leo DiCaprio up from the airport? They don't show a sitter & even if one is there in the house not seen why did they leave 2 small children alone? Leo is still dreaming. But that's okay, he'll figure that out when he puts his children down & eventually turns back to see the totem is still spinning which makes all speculation of this scene not matter anyway because eventually Leo will discover the result of the totem on the table lol
Inception has a sequel. It’s the dream you have after you see the movie. It’s whatever you imagine it to be. That’s the beauty of it.
Wait… ur right.. i dont fully remember but i did have a dream..
@@sendL546same bro
It’s funny you say this cause I’ll never forget the dream I had after seeing it. I was jumping on a trampoline that was suspended over a hole the size of a stadium. Just an endless pit into nothing. Was jumping for as high and as long as I wanted to, flying around doing back flips and corkscrews. After a while I said to myself, oh this is a dream, and I now have the knowledge that if I tear open this trampoline I’ll go into free fall and wake myself up. Cut a tear in the trampoline and within seconds of falling I woke up.
On the table his totem spun, and spun. Within a moment it would either fall, or remain spinning endlessly.
His son and daughter, laughing and yelling, ran over to Cobb as he opened his arms and embraced.
And the totem,
sadly there is way too much proof that he wasnt dreaming anymore bc i would have liked it more if he still was indicating another part but sadly Cobb chose this as his reality 🥲
Right at very end tho it started wabbling really hard no way it would keep spinning after that, clearly real life to me.
@@Killercoldice22 It doesn't matter for him. This is a point of this scene. And I would say that it could be still spinning. Look at the scene in dream. It also did not spin with confidence all the time.
@@bartoszgierczak5740 they cant die in the dreams regardless if he was in a dream or not he would have eventually woken up and been in reality.
The point of the ending is that it didn’t matter to Cobb. If it was a dream so be it if not so be it. At that moment he was happy. That’s all that mattered.
Eventually cobb would have walked back into the house and seen the totem either spinning or falling.
One of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Knowing the background of it. Chris’ brother.
Absolutely a gem!!!
Scene makes me cry every time. As a divorced father of two, I feel strong feelings of sadness and regret just like Cobb.
literally the best ending to a film ever
This ending is masterful in every way. Never ever gets old even after 947 trillion viewings and counting.
This movie is the best ever made. Period. No movie comes close
my favorite ever is between this and inglorious basterds
Its just my opinion... i think "The Last Samurai" in same level with inception
No shutter island is
I love Interstellar at the same level
nah turning red better
Hans Zimmer does it again
He has others? What are the others? I've never watched a better movie than this
@amatullahsaafir685 Interstellar is another Christopher Nolan film that's also scored by Han Zimmer, and it's arguably at the same level of storytelling as Inception. And you should definitely check out Nolan's Batman trilogy (scored by Zimmer) . Also, some of Zim's greatest work are in Dune part 1 & 2. There's also Dark Phoenix, although the main theme is 1) probably Han's most epic piece of music so far, 2) about the only part of the movie worth liking, so you should probably just listen to it for free on RUclips instead of watching the movie.
@@robertroach9157I was lucky enough to see him live last night. It’s a concert I’ll never forget. And just like this movie, he ended the concert with Time
I saw this film whist travelling in from UK to NZ. My first ever big adventure. I felt like i didn't blink for the entire film and left questioning the reality I was in! Amazing.
One of my favorite films of all time. Movies like this are why the theatre experience is so amazing. I remember going to watch this and it was all quiet until the credits. Everyone clapped and cheered. All of us were floored. It was amazing. We dont get many movies like this now, but thats what makes a good one so special. Still in my top 10 to this day.
1:27 - the way they made the flight attendant speak so soft so as to not break the mood of the scene is pure genius!
One of the most satisfying endings ever , this feels like after waking up from a long and deep night’s sleep.
Definitely my favorite movie, smart and entertainment. This ending give me goosebumps every time.
I wish i could experience this masterpiece in the theatre
The whole van fallin from the bridge scene was maybe one os the most breathtaking scenes I watched in the last years in cinema.
It was pretty amazing in DBOX.
There are other movies that compare equally to this movie on the level of action, philosophy, and named actors, but will never BE this movie. Inception was a generation defining movie that could only be described as a work of art, an original piece.
What an immortal masterpiece. Sounds fair to me Leonardo DiCaprio and Cillian Murphy recieved their Oscars eventually.
Cillian Murphy had limited screen time but damn did he come out with a bang during his father’s death scene.
@lpycb42
Cillian was given the option to choose which character he wanted to play. He chose the dreamer 😭
Man,This is Absolutely A Masterpiece.Holds Up Even After 14 Years,And Still Doesn’t Know If He’s In Real World Or Not.But The Brillance Of Cinema Is Represented Here.
I Always Conclude That He’s Not In Real World Because According to Me,That He Is Accepting The Choice Given To Him And The Author Tells That Seeing And Living With His Children Are His Primary Goal And He Doesn’t Care About If The Top is Spinning or Not.The Music With The Absolute Cinematography Shows That Top Is Spinning and Deflects A Bit At Last But Keeps Spinning.Hence He’s In Dream And He Accepts What He Has.
This Shows That “Living With His Children Completes His Life Rather Than Anything In This World” ❤❤❤❤❤
What a close!
Bravo, Zimmer and Nolan!
Legend says it's still spinning to this day
Noooo
Perfect comment. I saw this movie when i was a teen in theaters. I now have a teen child. Clearly I'm still wondering. Hence the search for the ending. Lol.
Nobody noticed that he is dead? He never got out of the water in that bus falling in the river. The others got out before they drowned but he did not.....
@@t.s.1683Hes dreamming
One of the best endings. Hans Zimmer is a legend.
the only good version of this scene someone put on youtube. thank god.
Hans Zimmer is an absolute genius.....but really! This score is incredible
I'll never forget seeing this movie in the theater. When the screen cut to black, everybody gasped.
It may have been Nolan's intent for the scene to show that Cobb didn't care about the top, but what was SO mind-blowing was coming to the realization that he might still be dreaming.
I'll never forget the audible groan at the cinema when this ended like this
That little cut scene at 1:15 really portray how we usually woke up so suddenly from an intense dream.
The music is so powerful in this scene
The music is so powerful from start to finish
The thing with the ending, when you think about it, is that now, you are just going to be thinking about it for a long time.
In short, you´ve been the subject of an INCEPTION yourself.
Bravo, Nolan. Pure genius
The music sounds like breathing, if you know what I mean
He got his happy ending. It’s confirmed. One of the best in films ever. Still brings tears to my eyes. Masterful movie making.
The level of attention to detail!! The custom forms are real!!!
Nolan's say "Every scene you appear in is real"
Not confirmed by Nolan.
I love this ending. I know it ends on an ambiguous note, but I believe it's real life and not a dream for two reasons:
1. Usually when Cobb dreamt of his children or even thought about them, their faces remained unseen. This time, the children turn and face him. They even run to their father and embrace him, whereas during the dreams and flashbacks, they either walk out of Cobb's sight, or they're being led away.
2. Usually in Cobb's dreams, the totem spins and spins without any interruption. This time, it wobbles as if it's about to fall any moment, we just don't witness it.
Just my two cents. 😀
Also pay attention to cobb‘s ring. In his dreams it’s on his finger. In real life he doesn’t wear it
honestly i dont really think it matters. they dont die in the dreams regardless. if it was a dream then eventually he will wake up and it will be real life.
@@BW-dn7dy that’s not how it works in limbo, he’s to many layers deep within his subconscious to be woken up by dying, he would need a simultaneous kick
@@hennyhypnotic3986 i didnt say he was woken up by dying... i simply said he will wake up at some point regardless if he is in a dream or not.
He also wears a wedding ring within his dreams. Throughout the entire scene, there is no ring- even at the house with his kids if you look quite closely.
This soundtrack makes me crying because its emotional
This has to be one of the top 10 best movie ending of all time
been looking for a movie like this for 15 years. Still nothing touches it. Greatest ending of all time and my favorite movie
This scene is beautiful I was going through an existential crisis thinking maybe it’s all fake. This movie made me realize it doesn’t matter it’s about being happy and enjoying your family.
The Beauty of this ending is that it doesn’t matter if the totem stopped or continued to spin. Cobb has accepted this as his reality whether he is still dreaming or not. This film is a masterpiece
The real token is the ring. He wasn’t wearing it in the last scene. The kids are older the turned their faces to him. His professor was also around in this last scene. It wasn’t a dream. Does it matter though? Cobb doesn’t care anymore as he was too overjoyed to notice that the token did fall. Director Nolan.
Did the token fall though? We never got to see it actually falling, the movie cut out before it stopped twirling.
@@horsepower523exactly. It left you (the audience) to guess for yourself. Nolan is a genius
People in dreams can appear differently - look at Saito: In limbo he was old and ancient. This means his kids can appear older in a dream as well.
The ring is a symbol that he doesn't know what is real anymore. He can easily take off the ring or put it back on - it represents Cobbs confusion. Mal in limbo (who is actually Cobbs own mind and his thoughts) says this: "you don't know whats real anymore".
The ending was never confirmed. Michael Caine said that his scenes were real but that was never confirmed by Nolan actually. Christopher Nolan has said: It doesn't matter if its real or not in the end. Cobb is happy and reunited with his kids.
In my opinion - they have all been stuck in a dream from before the movie began. They were simply remembering everything that led to them getting stuck in limbo.
some degenerates have disliked this video for no reason.
Give them a break, they just returned from Limbo.
映画史上最高のエンディングだと思います
完璧なエンディング
The greatest mystery from this film is how people are somehow confused by the ending like the movie didn't explain everything you needed to know.
It's reality, why?
The top in the dream constantly spins perfectly, it doesn't wobble or stop, so the fact it wobbles shows you it's reality.
For people commenting about his wedding ring, it's irrelevant, it's explained in the movie to Ariadne that totems are just a reality check and the reason you keep them to yourself is so that only you know the weight, size and properties of the totem so it's not tampered with. That's all totems are, they aren't soul bound to only work for specific people, its just a tool to check reality with and as Cobbs wife is no longer around that means he can use hers if he chooses and it'll work the same as his own totem.
If you're somehow questioning this movie's ending you would have literally had to not pay attention to one of the key concepts throughout the film.
I never noticed this before, but the guy in the suit holding the “J. Johnson” sign stares at Cobb as he’s going to meet Michael Cane’s character.
Come to think of it, it was never waiting for the top to stop spinning that frightened Cobb, it was anticipating seeing his kids faces but always waking up from another dream before seeing them. You can see his anxiety anticipating waking up from another dream after he spun the top, as well as seeing the top begin to stop spinning in then last few frames. Great ending that sees our protagonist get closure.
1:18 That would be my reaction if I wake up back in 2009 after years of nightmare.
Astounding film. I watched it 2 years after it came out
There are 13 movies ranked ahead of this on IMDB and most don't even come close to it
The best ending, especially for those who have suffered and endured pain but have survived, healed, and overcome.
After re-watching this scene after watching the entire movie earlier today, I think it is reality based on everyone’s expressions in the plane, however, that damn top is spinning longer than usual.
Because he's probably still dreaming
Reality as best I can tell.
The Father was only ever in the reality scenes.
And the kids have grown and have on different shoes than the earlier scenes they are always shown in. Plus, in the credits they are played by different older kids if that helps showing it was no longer a dream and they had aged.
@@JeremyGSU2011 yeah, good points
When he's dreaming, he has his wedding ring, which is his actual true totem, however, none of the scenes taking place in reality has he wearing it, including the ending, if you look at screenshots, or pause the video frame by frame when his hands are visible, you can see he doesn't have his ring, so yeah, he was not dreaming.
No ring no dream.
Just got back from watching HANS ZIMMER in NYC . this was the last song, amazing
Great ending montages are a Nolan trademark, and this is one of his best (in perhaps my favorite film of his).
Hans Zimmer went crazy on this soundtrack
Something always gets me when cobb passes all the crew. It's like a beautiful send off... A quiet victory
Inception airport scene (where he saw is teammates the last time) hits different especially eames and arthur (my favourite duo of all time).
It doesn't matter if it stops spinning or not as he is able to see his children's faces he won't look back at the spinning top 😃
It matters that ending is reality because the whole movie Leonardo avoided Mal so that he could live in the reality. He had even kids in the dreams with Mal. But He wanted to take care of real children not fake ones. Purpose was to give real children the best future not to fake children.
I have a similar situation... It's been a year since I can't come back home country for a reason... This scene gives me hope I will come back and see my boy.Amen
Surely you will 👍🏻👍🏻
- can you make an airport passport check to a cinematic masterpiece?
Nolan: well… hold my beer.
Perfect movie . Hats off to each and one who have worked on this masterpiece
We miss such movies.
Doms eyes between the 2:12 to 2:14 timeframe spoke volumes. That stare, that anger, as if he was yelling at Saito to fulfil his end of the deal. Masterful acting by Leonardo Dicaprio
I love how he looks at Fischer someone, he just had an insane adventure with, while they never actually met.
best climax i have ever scene in my life
I never understood the ambiguity of this scene that has apparently plagued - or intrigued - countless others. you can CLEARLY see the top falter. If you're familiar with tops - or, uh, physics - then you know that's that. It falls. Reality. Still a great ending, despite the lack of ambiguity; that Cobb walks away, and doesn't care whether it's a dream or not, is the true marvel of the scene.
In reality, yeah, physics. In dream, who knows...
The ambiguity is still there exactly because of the point you are making. A dream is not reality, anything is possible.
This is the most epic return home, to the USA.
The camera intentionally shifts to Michael Caine at 4:27. To give us a hint that this is not a dream.
The ending is NOT ambiguous. We see that the top slows down and starts to wobble. What does that imply? That it's going to topple. What did they establish in the movie? That the top keeps spinning if Cobb is dreaming and that it falls over if he's awake. Well, a wobbling top means it WILL fall over. The thing is Nolan respected the audience's intelligence enough to know what he was implying without having to spell it out completely. Had he waited for the top to fall and THEN cut to black, everyone would've been like _"Oh, well, way to spell everything out for us, Nolan. No subtlety at all."_ But instead he didn't show it tumble BUT he gave us a hint that it would, which is very respectable of him. But it backfired completely cuz most viewers who saw this were like _"We didn't see the top fall over, it COULD be a dream!_ Cuz general audiences today need EVERYTHING spoon-fed to them cuz implications (no matter how obvious) are too just subtle nowadays. It highlights how dense the general audience has become. It's depressing.
I disagree with you fine sir. I do agree Nolan respects the audience and their ability to figure things out. But this ending is more a metaphor. It’s a metaphor for the question we keep asking ourselves. “Is this the end?” Is what Cobb thought to himself as he spun that top, but as he sees his kids again, and can finally see their beautiful faces. That question leaves him… and ends up in our hands. Is he finally finished? Is this reality? COULD this be a dream? We wonder. The top is a metaphor for not knowing what comes next. It’s a symbol that shows us no matter how hard we think we know what happened, we don’t. And I think it’s absolutely genius. I understand your gripes with modern audiences, but this movie didn’t have that problem. This ending was a masterfully done, open ending QUESTION, left in the hands of the viewer. That’s my take.
@@SeveralDolphin8 _"I disagree with you fine sir."_
Disagree with what? Everything I stated was a fact. Tops need momentum to keep spinning, fact. Loss of momentum results in the top falling over, fact. The film establishes that the top will keep spinning in a dream, fact. Tops fall to indicate it's not a dream, fact. As they lose momentum, tops wobble before they fall, fact. The top is shown to wobble before the screen cuts to black, fact. Showing the audience the top falling over completely has no subtlety and would've generated criticism, fact. And Nolan knows that because he's a very intelligent filmmaker, fact. Implying that the top will fall is more effective than showing it, fact. There's nothing to disagree with.
_"The top is a metaphor for not knowing what comes next"_
That literally makes no sense since the characters in the film use their totems to give them information, the totems are not meant to leave them in the dark. And again, if it's a dream, then why is the top wobbling? What's that interpretation? Wobbling means it'll fall. That's not ambiguous.
Also, _Inception_ is not one of those films filled with symbolism and metaphors. It was all a concept movie from Nolan. He's way more of a technical filmmaker and not so much an emotional one or one to make grand statements about humanity. This isn't the script of _The Graduate, Rocky, Se7en, Whiplash_ or _American Beauty_ that are all littered with symbolism and subtext. _Inception_ was just a high concept sci-fi action movie with a cool premise. The subplot of Cobb and his wife was merely shoehorned in to give the movie an emotional core because movies are required to have them. So, on the surface, it appears that this film is not completely all style and no substance. Even though it actually is, cuz you can clearly tell that the subplot with Cobb and his wife was the thing that interested Nolan the least. He obviously cared way more about showing off dream concepts in a big budget blockbuster (like lucid dreaming, dream physics, the kicks to wake you up, not knowing how dreams start, dream within a dream, the shifts in gravity etc.). The "emotional" story is the thing that audiences connect to and remember the least. Viewers only seem to remember the cool concept of the movie, the hallway fight scene etc. The technical stuff. The only time they mention the Cobb family storyline is to debate if it's a dream or not. But it doesn't seem like anyone's actually devastated if Cobb isn't actually with his kids. I never found Nolan to be particularly effective at handling emotion in his films, as he's clearly a way more cerebral filmmaker than a sentimental one. He's not Spielberg or Edward Zwick.
So, if the ending is a dream, then what's the timeline of events that transpire in the film that would allow it to happen? The other characters wake up in the van from the kick and wait to wake up on the plane-- all they're doing is waiting for the sedative to wear off. Cobb enters limbo and finds Saito who has aged into a very old man. At the dinner table they're eating at, Cobb reminds Saito of their agreement, and they reach for the gun with the intention of ending the dream and then it cuts to them waking up on the plane, implying they did end their dream together using the gun. So, if Cobb waking up on the plane (and subsequently going home) is a dream, then when and where does he dream that? At what point does he start imagining all this in his head? Does he dream into another dream layer while he's in limbo, a dream within limbo? You can't! It's established in the film that limbo is the last dream level, there's no dream level above it. If you die in limbo, you wake up (as what happened to Cobb and his wife in the middle of the movie). Nothing in the film suggests that Cobb slips into another dream. None of the major plot points in the movie give the audience clues of ambiguity that the story could go either way.
Literally the only thing people debate is the last two seconds. But for the ending to be ambiguous and possibly be a dream, there needs to be hints to suggest it as a possibility prior to that. Like in _Total Recall,_ we don't know for sure if the ending is real or not cuz the movie sows seeds of doubt that Arnold is really awake throughout the runtime, with multiple characters telling him he's dreaming etc. There's none of that in _Inception._
And again, if it's a dream, then what's the point of the film? That the team failed in their mission to get Fischer to start his own company? That Cobb and Saito can't wake up from limbo? That they're both stuck sedated on the plane while the others awake? There's no thematic point to any of those outcomes. Not to mention, there's no events or hints in the film that indicate this is happening.
I'm gonna be even more cynical and take this one step further. I'm quite certain Nolan knows that the general audience is quite dense and needs to be spoon-fed everything. Smart people know that he was implying that the wobbling top will fall (because that's what wobbling tops do), but Nolan knew if he didn't show it fall on camera, then the masses would debate the ending for years on end. It was his cynical way to keep people discussing the film well into the future. It's just like the ending of _The French Connection._ All we hear is the final gunshot and the screen cuts to black and people have been debating the "ambiguity" for decades, even though nothing ambiguous happens in the movie prior to the ending. But then, director William Friedkin admitted he did it solely to end the movie with a bang... literally. Friedkin admitted it had no deeper meaning but it kept people talking about his film, which he wanted. The ending of _Inception_ is exactly that.
Nolan himself has said that "audiences trying to figure out whether the ending is a dream or not are slightly missing the point."
The ending didn't "backfire" on him at all. It's meant to be ambiguous, which is how most audiences perceived it.
@@The12thDimension. _"It's meant to be ambiguous, which is how most audiences perceived it."_
So what if most audiences perceive it as ambiguous? The average IQ of moviegoers is 100. The general audience isn't that smart. Just because most people who need everything spoon-fed to them these days think that the ending is ambiguous... doesn't mean it actually is. And no, the ending is not meant to be ambiguous, it's meant to be IMPLIED. And also, did you read anything I read about wobbling tops losing momentum?
@rustincohle2135 I don't really give a shit about the momentum of spinning tops, honestly.
I'm just saying that the literal director of the film says that there's no right or wrong answer, and trying to prove theres a correct one is missing the point.
The last movie I saw with my best friend. Still one of my favorites.
Tenet is nowhere near Inception !
sadly
Not a competition
Far away
It still had the most confusing parts of it that Nolan had ever done. And that's Inversion.
Everyone always asks if Cobb is still dreaming at the end. But, the way I see it, it doesn’t matter to him. He came to grips with Mal being gone. He did the job to the absolute best of his ability. He’s back in his home, with his children. Be it a dream or not, he doesn’t care anymore. He’s home. He’s back with his kids. He’s won.
And Hans Zimmer’s score absolutely NAILS that feeling.

Hans zimmer and Christopher Nolan are like peanut butter and jelly
Their combo is amazing 👌🏽 time
Is one of the greatest film score songs ever and is so simple in music theory
It works perfectly 🥹 what they did with this film is just so iconic
Fischers face as: where have i seen this guy before
“…so we can be young men together, again.”
Interesting when you realize that nothing actually happened in the film except Michael Caine's scenes.
The moment when the faces of his kids show will never not bring a tear to my eye
The question remains is he dreaming or didnt he just dont care as long he got to see his children. Love this movie, the theme sound is amazing ❤
I'm here just for the music
This movie had and has such a profound effect on me. I first saw it while going through one of the worst times in my life.
The whole dreaming the impossible, overcoming the impossible resonates with me. You are on a long painful journey but finally home.
I feel so happy that the truth behind the ending was leaked by Micheal Caine. There are a lot of other hints that tell you he is actually free but that just solidified it.
Nolan n zimmer are the most finest artists
