What’s interesting about those 2 movies is that Interstellar is a father and daughter movie and this is a father and son movie. Except with Interstellar they use the main character (Cooper) to do it. With Inception they use a more minor character (Fischer) to show this relationship.
really interesting story i heard or read but it was about a man who had an accident and woke up from coma only to live his full life and have kids and a wife. when one day he sees a lamp and it looks odd so he watches it. and things began to change.
@@sergeyscherbakov1541 The deal was that Saito would make a phone call to erase Cobb's criminal record if the inception was successful. Of course, he had to make the call before Cobb got to Customs or Cobb would have been arrested.
The totem was shaking at the end and was about to fall. Watch the end just before the credits scene comes up. And it is now confirmed. Also, even if it was a dream, the totem would spin forever. So anyway Cobb would see it spinning non stop when he walks across the house again. And kills himself to continue the task.
Ahmet Selim Karaca The question it raises and the possibile answers it gives. Its more timeless than ahaed of its time to be exact. It will always be up to date, simmilar to 2001 space odysey
I watched this movie when I was 11 years old and to this day it is still my favourite movie of all time 1. Inception 2. Infinity War 3. Shawshank Redemption 4. The Wolf Of Wall Street 5. The Departed
The fact that Saito has lived an entire life in his dreams and after that woke up young again, it's mind-blowing. Just imagine being old, waiting for death, and suddenly you have the chance to be young again.
@@bf9142ftw Because it was just a dream, those "memories" will fade quickly just like any other dream. Do you ever wake up and feel confused only to quickly come to? He would have just woken up and been quickly recollecting how he got here and what is happening. It would have been enormously relieving and also in his case, blissful.
I have a question for you all. So how did Cobb know (or Saito, for that matter) that they had succeeded? Wouldn’t Eames have been the only one who knew, since he was the only one who witnessed the inception actually take place?
@@holdengreen2151 they already planned it they just know what will happen in the locker room only problem was how to do it in which they succeeded in the end And one more question They just planted an idea in fchisrer mind they don't know if he decides to do it.
Notice this. Every time he was in a dream and his wife was around, he wore his wedding ring. But every time he was not in a dream, the real world, he didnt wore his ring. Look closely to his hand in the end. He isnt wearing a ring, so that means he is in the real world. Gotta love the details.
Notice, in every scene the children are in (while in a dream) they have black shoes; yet, at the end they have different color shoes/style all together.
The music was the key here for me. All through the movie we hear this theme with atonal, discordant flourishes, implying a state of unreality & unease. Finally, in this last scene it opens out into a beautiful, pure, unaltered, unblemished version of itself, lifting us up as the brass goes soaring out uninterrupted - Leo has made peace with his world. Plus, that spinning top is totally about to fall over. heh.
Inception and Interstellar are Nolan's masterpieces for me. The harmonious blend of sci-fi action with all the emotional drama was just excellent. The movie scores were both great as well. I really hope he does more sci-fi in the future, because he just knows how to make a great impact with his terrific storytelling on the big screen.
Absolutely perfect ending. The caper had been pulled off. He got home. Spinning the top, he saw his children’s faces. After that, he didn’t care if the top stopped spinning or not. This was a reality he could accept.
@@daddy_.rome0 I'll admit Interstellar and Inception had extraordinary scores but the Grand Budapest Hotel's was so nuisanced and so original as well as being so well put together in the frame of the movie that it got best score.
In that year the film "King's Speech" has won the Oscar for the best film. I have no desire to ever watch King's Speech again, but I could always watch Inception again and again. It's the best movie of all time. Period.
Inception was and is wonderful. All the mythos behind all the jists of dream-inducing manipulation, action and reflecting realities is a no-brainer for great movie-making. But I must say that each of the films you mention, are different of sorts... Inception is what I said. But the King's Speech, in its own right, is magnificent for the struggle of the new King from the controversy of his brother, for his struggle of his defective speech and the shadow of war. But last but not least, Colin Firth in his portrayal. That was a good one!
To be honest, i don't remember my memories before 4 yrs old, it's weird, my first memory, was me running around my house, and i was already speaking, but don't remember learning, i knew my friends and family, but don't remember meeting them, i remember school, but don't remember my first day... of course our conscience it's yet changing, but it's weird....
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
The craziest thing is that Cobb's wedding ring is his object to decide whether it's real life or a dream. When in his dream he has the ring on, but when he is not dreaming the ring is not on his finger.
Nice theory, but doesnt sit right. He walls away without "knowing" (why else spin the top). He walks away because he doesnt care. Hes so elated to be with his kids his love overcomes care for anything else. Would you want to wake up from the best dream either? Would you want to know that it isnt real?
@@toyski6897 right but everyother time he hadnt dealt with Mal yet. Hes let go of Mal and now she can no longer effect his dreams negatively anymore. Hes free.
Bro the ending part is real nolan himself confirmed that the scene is always real in the movie whenever that old guy in it , first go and research then write something
@@Shane_Stoic When you wake up from a dream, you remember everything in the real world, while you may forget most of what you dreamed about. Its like a big switch.
3:36 For a split second there, I saw the totem tilted to the side a little more than usual, which means I think the totem eventually stopped spinning. I think he’s really back home with his children. Anyone else agree? Let me know what you think.
@@raydare2002 no that is to create confusion, i would argue,.. observe that a such an object can still spin after tilting.. and often for a long time... doesn't have to be perfect but only has to keep spinning to be in a dream... if they wanted the conclusion that it was reality, they could have just waited 10 more seconds with the tp to show us that it falls
He can see his kids faces, which means he is in reality. Besides they board the plane to LA and then reach LA. That was all reality. That ending was all just to confuse people who can easily get confused. I mean no disrespect.
Whenever I listen to this magnificent score, it feels as though time itself is unraveling before you, urging you to reflect on the past, present, and future simultaneously. It's a powerful piece that stirs the soul and leaves a lasting impression long after the music fades. Long live Hans Zimmer.
People often forget the scene where saito wakes up and looks to cobb and immediately honors his actions, allowing him to return to his family with that single phone call he is tiping in that moment. Such a strong and underrated scene.
as an expert daydreamer who loves "to pretend being in a music video or movie with it's song/soundtrack playing in my ears" u just gave me the greatest idea of all times for the next time i'll fly. (yeah i know i'm weird as hell....)😂😂
@@Benjamin-bp6qn im sorry. They did win the Oscar but what i mean is Leonardo DiCaprio didn’t win the Oscar. Inception won in four category. You can search it up.
@@Ghost-qo5of thats part of his arc. He spends most of the film worrying about being stuck in a dream or not, only to come out at the end with the understanding that that doesn’t matter. And as for the ring, yes, obviously Im aware his ring is a token, but I have always interpreted the ring as more of an easter egg than a legitimate tangible part of the story. Cobb clearly prefers his top. The ring exists for the viewer’s assurance that Cobb is finally in the real world, to give the film a happy ending, I dont believe its something where he goes “ok, I’ll spin my top, but I don’t have my ring, so I must not be dreaming”. Tldr; the ring doesn’t really exist, its a head nod from Nolan to the audience about Cobb’s current state and more importantly about his priorities(his wife).
@@AndrewJ9673 main character has children he cares about, so it matters if he's dreaming or not. From this depend if his children will have a father :)
Just watched this film the other day for the first time and it is one of my all time favourites. The first Nolan film I saw outside TDK trilogy and I was mind blown. Only a mastermind like Christopher Nolan can make such films like this.
There are so many movies that should have won him an oscar. I absolutely loved his performance as Frank William Abagnale. He also did a great job in blood diamond. I didn't really like The Departed but he played well there. Inception is, I think, his masterpiece.
I remember watching this scene at the cinema, people impatiently waiting for the conclusion, everyone creating their own ending in their minds...half of the people cheered up, half of the people cried, and I felt stuck in a limbo :x
After seeing this ending, I was always listening to this tune on repeat on my way back home on planes and airport from business trips and oh man I was in it big time guys.
I just watched this again today and this part hit me in the heart and I was crying. Imagine being on the run, never feeling safe, not having a real place to call home anymore and then . . . you suddenly realize you are about to go home, the weight of that, the emotional depth of it all. How overwhelmingly that is. I have not been able to return home in decades and I don't feel safe anywhere. The gravity of that is devastating and I watched this feeling and wanting what he had, but oh so far away. 😢
And he’s just dreaming of him dreaming with his wife and getting into the dream of a multi millionaire businessman and getting into the dream of his partner in crime to plant an idea in the head of another businessman by getting into his dream, successfully plants it and dreams of waking up but still in his DREAMS ffs imagine being Teddy Daniels
The first time I watched this movie was at home with my son and a few of his friends at a birthday sleepover. It ended about 1am. At 5am I was in bed, still wide awake, staring at the ceiling trying to absorb what I had just seen. Perhaps having children makes this last scene so powerful. What an incredible collaboration of writing, directing, acting, and composing.
12 years later and this scene still gets to me. The idea of living what seemed like living a full life only to wake up and realized it was but a dream. Old souls thrown back into our young bodies.

I'll never forget this part when i saw it in theatres. The audience was literally on the edge of their seat and everyone was waiting for it to fall...then it cuts to credit and everyones like "ahhhhh"
"It doesn't matter" is bullshit? The purpose of the video is to explore the ability to solve the problem of hard solipsism. You _could_ possibly be hooked up to a computer being fed information of what you "believe" is the "real" reality. You _could_ be dreaming right now. You _could_ be hallucinating. You _could_ be in the matrix. Can you prove that you're not? In other words, can you solve the problem of hard solipsism? _Your_ statement is that "it doesn't matter" is bullshit. So if it _does_ matter to you, then you can't live your life without knowing. That's your statement. So let's hear it. What's your solution to the problem of hard solipsism? Because you would be the first and only to have ever really solved it then.
Just noticed the guy checking the passport. He's a good actor as well. Saw him in few TV series and movies. I mean, it just has to be perfect with Nolan.
Maybe it’s a cliche, but I always like it when the director sticks his wife, kids, mum in a small role in their movie. The director has to give up so much of his life to make the movies and letting the family play along for a day or two has to be such a feel good moment
But it's not It's an incredible movie indeed but the ending is most probably a dream. That means his wife might've been right and killed herself and went to a lower stage of the dream or the reality. Imagine them making the part 2 of Inception..
@@OXIR yes mate. Like I said it 'perfect' in the sense that everyone has its own conclusion about its ending. So it depends on what you think / assume would happen!
Agreed! If you’ve ever had one of those extremely detailed dreams and wake up, you just spend 10 minutes just “coming to” in the morning. The facial expressions capture it greatly.
The architect left level 3 while Cobb and Saito were still stuck in limbo, thus having no way to come back. Plus the children never aged and are always playing in the yard, just like Cobb imagines in his dreams. Cobb and Saito are lost in limbo forever.
I loved the little pause that Saito has, when he is wondering why Cobb is staring Daggers at him, willing him to fulfil his end of the deal. It suddenly clicks and he still has to pause for a moment, trying to remember who he was meant to call and what the phone number was. Amazing acting.

@@manningup4851 he had so much power and influence that he could get Cobb off of the blacklist to get into the US. I'm guessing that he was calling someone high up in the Federal Government to get his name cleared and to allow him past immigration without being detained.
I watched it in 2010, didn’t get it. I tired again in 2012 and still didn’t get it. My dad died in 2013 and I watched it again, in 2014. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks
Well I think it was obvious even without Caine's confirmation, I mean in last scene where Cobb rotated totem, 3:31 at the end it started shaking, which meant that he was in reality.
The way saito looks at cobb and that stare from cobb, legendary acting by eyes in that scene alone and then saito honors the actions of cobb. Such a great ending...genius nolan
I love the body language of every single person in this scene. It's so brilliant. You hardly hear 8 words, but you can read their thoughts, full of messages.
Respectfully have to disagree putting memento first, Shutter Island was astounishing also and deserves a mention. All in all I would argue anybody that inception is Nolan's masterpiece... such a unique storyline executed with incredible acting, legendary score, innovative cinematography and that classic Nolan touch that brought us all to this video at the end of the movie.. Also my theory is top wasn't gonna fall and he didn't care either way. I think that's what Nolan wanted us to conclude from that, either way awesome movie
These actors/actress are sooo fucking good! Their facial expressions, eyes, acted better than dialogues! And that heart-filling music engulfing the audiences within the Inception world….omg…I can never express it in words! ❤❤❤
I'm a huge fan of Hans Zimmer and many of the other composers, but nothing hits quite like this song. Many people consider Interstellar his best work but nothing hits quite like this. It truly is his masterpiece.
There is a story about this melody. Actually a sad a story was told by hans zimmer.. He began composing Time after what happened.. That what makes time Special
Interstellar's "Docking" scene is one of my favorite in all of cinema and is one of a handful of scenes that I would change genuinely nothing about. The ending scene here is another one that I'd change nothing about. The soundtrack is absolutely INTEGRAL to the success of both. But they can't be directly compared, at least in my opinion. The scene in Interstellar is about the triumph of mankind against adversity ("It's not possible..." "No... it's necessary.") and is bombastic and gets you incredibly fired up. This scene in Inception is about the end of a chapter of life, the feeling that you and those around you have been through so much, the feeling of awakening from a dream that feels as though it stretched on forever- and yet, just as that chapter closes, a new chapter opens: a homecoming, a return to loved ones and family members. "Welcome Home, Mr Cobb."
I think the reason he walked away from the totem is because he does not care if he is dreaming any longer. He just chooses whatever makes him happy and makes that his reality... Maybe...
But his totem was not that spinning thing, but hia wedding ring, and if hw wears it, he is dreaming, and if not, he is not dreaming.. aaand here we can see, no wedding ring in his left hand.
• Cillan Murphy • leonardo dicaprio • Joseph Gordon-Levitt • Michael Caine The fact Christopher Nolan recasts these actors again and again is so satisfying
The airport is so weird. You might spend 10+ hours with someone on a flight and get to know them but then walk away as if you’re strangers. You get to glimpse into someone’s life just by watching them greet their family or friends in the terminals.
This movie was one of the best edited and incredibly paced movies ever. The way the tension is created in the third act until the very last scene of Saito picking up the gun, and then when Cobb wakes up, It makes the audience feel like they've themselves woke up from a bad dream. A relief, just like when we wake up from a bad dream. Zimmer's music is one of the main characters in this scene that makes this scene as good as it is. This is movie is truly an all-timer, and one of my absolute favorites.
exactly. i remember 14 years ago seeing this movie with my girlfriend, without having seen a trailer or even knowing anything about the story, just because me and her were at the mall and we were looking for something to do. i remember coming out of this movie in shock, flabbergasted like when i had just had an unreal dream, i still think about it sometimes how much this movie made me go through so many emotions. and now, 14 years later, with the same girl and 2 young boys, this movie touches me even more.
@@gunhee This is true. For me, the best cinematography... while pretty subjective... is Emmanuel Lubezki's work on the Revenant (also Birdman) or John Toll's work on the Thin Red Line, but they are also among my favourite films lol. I love a good thoughtful epic. Interstellar is another good one - the cinematography is sublime, particularly the scenes going through the wormhole and the black hole.
The look all four give each other on the plane is exactly what happens after you've had a bad trip and wake up with your friends realizing everything is ok and you didn't actually go crazy.
His totem isn't even the top, it's his wedding ring. He wears it in every scene he's dreaming. In this scene, he's not wearing it. The ending is less ambiguous than people think. He's not dreaming; he really makes it home.
A popular theory... but what if the ring simply symbolizes Cobb's guilt he has felt over the death of his wife and how he caused her to believe her life was a dream? And now that he has had closure over it, he may not need the ring anymore, because he has finally accepted what happened: And therefore, he can accept his children without caring for weather it's a dream or not. Maybe, in the end, his illusion of Mal won after all, she caused him to stop caring weather it's all real or not.
0:06 DiCaprio's ability to convey, with his eyes alone, a person who had experienced an entire lifetime of 80 or 90 years suddenly waking up in a 30 year old's body- KUDOS!!!
Definitely one of my favorite movies ever ❤. One thing I like in Nolan is that he knows how to dress his male characters, in all movies, they are so sharp in these suits.
I had the luck to enjoy this whole masterpiece when it came out. I still remembered how the whole theatre just went "OHHHHHHH" out loud when the lights went out after Cobb's totem kept spinning but got a bit slower. And how, literally every single person, kept discussing on whether it stopped or not leaving the theatre. Simply one of the greatest movie endings ever and such a golden time to enjoy the cinema before this "Netflix time".
First film that I ever went to see with my (now) wife. Loved every second. This scene is absolutely golden to me, so much so that I got a spinning top tattoo the other day.
I think it’s cool how we all have our memories during the time this movie was out. My memory is that I had my last soda drink while I was watching this in theaters. I’ve been going 12 years strong :)
He’s in the real world at the end for 3 reasons, the top of his totem starts wobbling as if it’s gonna fall over, subtle but noticeable. The second is that Michael Caine is in the scene and Nolan personally told Michael Caine every scene of the movie he’s in is reality, and lastly Cobb can see his children’s faces, in his dreams which are also memories he cannot see his kid’s faces because he doesn’t irl at his home, in this scene he does.
Because he handed him, his wallet before the flight took off. What is most puzzling for him is that, WHY was Cobb in his dream when their interaction was so short. I'm sure we all, at some point dreamt of some totally random stranger that we knew but don't at the same time. I guess, perhaps that's what Nolan was going for.
I think most of you guys didn't get the message of that brilliant ending. Its not about what is real or not. By spinning the circle at 2:47 Cobb asks himself :" Is this real or not". Then he was about to wait for the answer, when he saw the faces at 3:00 ( by the way the first time in the whole movie ). At that moment he just wanted to hug his kids and in the end he didn't care about it anymore. Nolan wanted to give the answer to the question: It does not matter. As long as you are happy, it can be real or not, it simply doesn't matter. What matters is the love to his kids
+Dancinglings I agree... finally somebody got it right. The only reasonable answer to Cobbs' question whether he was in a dream or not was "Who cares?".
But what about the kids? They still don't have a father if he's trapped in lambo. I personally believe he's not dreaming. Regardless, it's still a beautiful ending.
it's a tradition to visit the scene once in a while
Yo,what's up...

Yep it is

The fact that Saito has lived an entire life in his dreams and after that woke up young again, it's mind-blowing. Just imagine being old, waiting for death, and suddenly you have the chance to be young again.

He always wore the ring on his right hand?
+pomaleki the whole movie is a dream. Mal was right

Yeh but at teh start, He talks to kids, they are like lets say 10, while at the end they didnt age any.
Notice, in every scene the children are in (while in a dream) they have black shoes; yet, at the end they have different color shoes/style all together.
The music was the key here for me. All through the movie we hear this theme with atonal, discordant flourishes, implying a state of unreality & unease. Finally, in this last scene it opens out into a beautiful, pure, unaltered, unblemished version of itself, lifting us up as the brass goes soaring out uninterrupted - Leo has made peace with his world.
Plus, that spinning top is totally about to fall over. heh.
yeah, but at the cut at the end that spinning top is already spinning for 50 seconds. show me a spinning top that can spin for 50 seconds.
Lucas Lee The one in the dream could spin for 500 seconds if needed, that was the point of it. Check my other comment for more info..
man you guys dont understand what i wanted to say. i wanted to say that he must be in a dream because the spinnig top spins for so long.
music is powerful
It's probably the strongest piece of music, mixed with visuals I have ever seen! Christopher Nolan is quite a director. Always gives me goosebumps!
I still do not understand how Leonardo Di Caprio didn’t win an Oscar from this, Zimmer too. I actually don’t understand
Cause Grammy always sucks to not mention Leo for Oscar winner. I'm so glad he finally won it
They are rigged
Because the Oscars are fake
Not to mention this didn't win Best Picture.
The Oscars are trash
Inception and Interstellar are Nolan's masterpieces for me. The harmonious blend of sci-fi action with all the emotional drama was just excellent. The movie scores were both great as well. I really hope he does more sci-fi in the future, because he just knows how to make a great impact with his terrific storytelling on the big screen.
Tenet is perfection. This dude is a gift to the world that just keeps giving.
Oppenheimer is another top tier movie
And the dark knight.
My favourite Nolan movie is The Prestige, all movies are wholesome but personally The Prestige has hit me harder than others.
Absolutely perfect ending. The caper had been pulled off. He got home. Spinning the top, he saw his children’s faces. After that, he didn’t care if the top stopped spinning or not. This was a reality he could accept.

I agree! Without one doubt. They were definitely robbed. No question there.
Lmao no if Inception deserved best score/actor it would've got it

@@eddierhino01 did Interstellar got an Oscar. No. Oscars are a joke.
@@daddy_.rome0 I'll admit Interstellar and Inception had extraordinary scores but the Grand Budapest Hotel's was so nuisanced and so original as well as being so well put together in the frame of the movie that it got best score.
The electric guitar when his passport is stamped makes it so much great. Zimmer knows how to make a scene from the best to the unparalleled....
Zimmer is good at guitars ))) ruclips.net/video/xdYYN-4ttDg/видео.html
The concert in Prague, Hans came out with the guitar and rocks out.
i think its just to show newer instruments cause the song name is time and stuff so its like converting to newer instruments slowly

In that year the film "King's Speech" has won the Oscar for the best film. I have no desire to ever watch King's Speech again, but I could always watch Inception again and again. It's the best movie of all time. Period.
Inception was and is wonderful. All the mythos behind all the jists of dream-inducing manipulation, action and reflecting realities is a no-brainer for great movie-making. But I must say that each of the films you mention, are different of sorts... Inception is what I said. But the King's Speech, in its own right, is magnificent for the struggle of the new King from the controversy of his brother, for his struggle of his defective speech and the shadow of war. But last but not least, Colin Firth in his portrayal. That was a good one!

Very sad
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
The craziest thing is that Cobb's wedding ring is his object to decide whether it's real life or a dream. When in his dream he has the ring on, but when he is not dreaming the ring is not on his finger.
Nice theory, but doesnt sit right. He walls away without "knowing" (why else spin the top). He walks away because he doesnt care. Hes so elated to be with his kids his love overcomes care for anything else. Would you want to wake up from the best dream either? Would you want to know that it isnt real?
@@toyski6897 right but everyother time he hadnt dealt with Mal yet. Hes let go of Mal and now she can no longer effect his dreams negatively anymore. Hes free.
It doesn't drop because it is Nolan's dream, in his heroes journey. We are pulled out into another layer of reality again, at the end.
Bro the ending part is real nolan himself confirmed that the scene is always real in the movie whenever that old guy in it , first go and research then write something
Still one of my favorite movies of all time.
Everyone did such an exceptional job here.

@@purrformance thats an interesting point, but I guess we'll never know for sure
This film took the "it was all a dream" cliche and turned it into one of the best endings in the history of cinema.
3:36 For a split second there, I saw the totem tilted to the side a little more than usual, which means I think the totem eventually stopped spinning. I think he’s really back home with his children. Anyone else agree? Let me know what you think.
@@arcticangel1628 I mean without a doubt, if they wanted us to never know then they wouldnt have left the part where the totem starts to tilt over.
yeah because here the dream has consequences in the real world
@@raydare2002 no that is to create confusion, i would argue,.. observe that a such an object can still spin after tilting.. and often for a long time... doesn't have to be perfect but only has to keep spinning to be in a dream... if they wanted the conclusion that it was reality, they could have just waited 10 more seconds with the tp to show us that it falls
He can see his kids faces, which means he is in reality. Besides they board the plane to LA and then reach LA. That was all reality. That ending was all just to confuse people who can easily get confused. I mean no disrespect.
Whenever I listen to this magnificent score, it feels as though time itself is unraveling before you, urging you to reflect on the past, present, and future simultaneously. It's a powerful piece that stirs the soul and leaves a lasting impression long after the music fades.
Long live Hans Zimmer.
Imagine if Hans Zimmer and Christopher Nolan suddenly disappeared. God bless them both for making these legendary movies with epic soundtracks.
Don't say that. These two keep giving us masterpieces.
And Johnny Marr, look it up

People often forget the scene where saito wakes up and looks to cobb and immediately honors his actions, allowing him to return to his family with that single phone call he is tiping in that moment. Such a strong and underrated scene.
It was the intensity in Cobbs face that reminded him. Amazing acting!

In the end, Cobb realizes, it doesn’t actually matter if he’s dreaming or not. He’s happy.
You know he could've been happy living with his wife in the dream but he explained that he couldn't live with it because it wasn't real
well actually he knows that its reality because the token is his ring and not the spinner
no ring on wedding finger, hes not dreaming.
@@Ghost-qo5of thats part of his arc. He spends most of the film worrying about being stuck in a dream or not, only to come out at the end with the understanding that that doesn’t matter.
And as for the ring, yes, obviously Im aware his ring is a token, but I have always interpreted the ring as more of an easter egg than a legitimate tangible part of the story. Cobb clearly prefers his top. The ring exists for the viewer’s assurance that Cobb is finally in the real world, to give the film a happy ending, I dont believe its something where he goes “ok, I’ll spin my top, but I don’t have my ring, so I must not be dreaming”.
Tldr; the ring doesn’t really exist, its a head nod from Nolan to the audience about Cobb’s current state and more importantly about his priorities(his wife).
@@AndrewJ9673 main character has children he cares about, so it matters if he's dreaming or not. From this depend if his children will have a father :)
Just watched this film the other day for the first time and it is one of my all time favourites. The first Nolan film I saw outside TDK trilogy and I was mind blown. Only a mastermind like Christopher Nolan can make such films like this.
No one, literally no one

How overwhelmingly that is. I have not been able to return home in decades and I don't feel safe anywhere.

You _could_ possibly be hooked up to a computer being fed information of what you "believe" is the "real" reality. You _could_ be dreaming right now. You _could_ be hallucinating. You _could_ be in the matrix. Can you prove that you're not? In other words, can you solve the problem of hard solipsism? _Your_ statement is that "it doesn't matter" is bullshit. So if it _does_ matter to you, then you can't live your life without knowing. That's your statement. So let's hear it. What's your solution to the problem of hard solipsism? Because you would be the first and only to have ever really solved it then.

🥰
hahah
My God the soundtrack makes this scene more epic
Thought i was the only one😭😭
Nolan is such a King
1. Memento (best storyline)
2. Inception (best mindblowing)
3. Interstellar (best concept)
And yea, don't forget The Dark Knight
You forgot the prestige
Inception is the best. NASA IS A HOAX
what about shutter island
Respectfully have to disagree putting memento first, Shutter Island was astounishing also and deserves a mention. All in all I would argue anybody that inception is Nolan's masterpiece... such a unique storyline executed with incredible acting, legendary score, innovative cinematography and that classic Nolan touch that brought us all to this video at the end of the movie..
Also my theory is top wasn't gonna fall and he didn't care either way. I think that's what Nolan wanted us to conclude from that, either way awesome movie
And then there's Dunkirk...
These actors/actress are sooo fucking good! Their facial expressions, eyes, acted better than dialogues! And that heart-filling music engulfing the audiences within the Inception world….omg…I can never express it in words! ❤❤❤
I'm a huge fan of Hans Zimmer and many of the other composers, but nothing hits quite like this song. Many people consider Interstellar his best work but nothing hits quite like this. It truly is his masterpiece.
There is a story about this melody. Actually a sad a story was told by hans zimmer.. He began composing Time after what happened.. That what makes time Special
And the fact that it’s called TIME makes the track more… meaningful in a way
the dune soundtrack he made was solid, finally won his second oscar 🤝🏼
Interstellar's "Docking" scene is one of my favorite in all of cinema and is one of a handful of scenes that I would change genuinely nothing about. The ending scene here is another one that I'd change nothing about. The soundtrack is absolutely INTEGRAL to the success of both.
But they can't be directly compared, at least in my opinion. The scene in Interstellar is about the triumph of mankind against adversity ("It's not possible..." "No... it's necessary.") and is bombastic and gets you incredibly fired up. This scene in Inception is about the end of a chapter of life, the feeling that you and those around you have been through so much, the feeling of awakening from a dream that feels as though it stretched on forever- and yet, just as that chapter closes, a new chapter opens: a homecoming, a return to loved ones and family members. "Welcome Home, Mr Cobb."
Time is forever a masterpiece. Instellar is good but this soundtrack is on repeat.
Nolan + Zimmer = Legendary Masterpiece
Andrew Hong +Dicarpio= Unstoppable
As well as Interstellar! ^^
Every damn time
Andrew Hong as proven by interstellar
Except dunkirk i think
I think the reason he walked away from the totem is because he does not care if he is dreaming any longer. He just chooses whatever makes him happy and makes that his reality... Maybe...
I think so too. That#s the mein reason for me why the ending is so great...
BeastUpp neither does life
Actor who plays his father just confirmed it was reality. Cristopher Nolan told him that every scene he was in was reality
Yes my bad
But his totem was not that spinning thing, but hia wedding ring, and if hw wears it, he is dreaming, and if not, he is not dreaming.. aaand here we can see, no wedding ring in his left hand.

This movie was one of the best edited and incredibly paced movies ever. The way the tension is created in the third act until the very last scene of Saito picking up the gun, and then when Cobb wakes up, It makes the audience feel like they've themselves woke up from a bad dream. A relief, just like when we wake up from a bad dream. Zimmer's music is one of the main characters in this scene that makes this scene as good as it is.
This is movie is truly an all-timer, and one of my absolute favorites.
well said! much love! cinema lives forever
Excellent post.
@@midnightcruiser6129 I have doubt why people staring at him in plane
exactly. i remember 14 years ago seeing this movie with my girlfriend, without having seen a trailer or even knowing anything about the story, just because me and her were at the mall and we were looking for something to do. i remember coming out of this movie in shock, flabbergasted like when i had just had an unreal dream, i still think about it sometimes how much this movie made me go through so many emotions. and now, 14 years later, with the same girl and 2 young boys, this movie touches me even more.
Just finished this movie an hour ago, this is the best cinematic masterpiece I have ever seen
watched everything everywhere all at once?
@@gunhee The key phrase here is: "I have ever seen"
@@mashek331 Yeah, I meant if he watched Everything everywhere, he's best picture will not be Inception.
@@gunhee This is true. For me, the best cinematography... while pretty subjective... is Emmanuel Lubezki's work on the Revenant (also Birdman) or John Toll's work on the Thin Red Line, but they are also among my favourite films lol. I love a good thoughtful epic.
Interstellar is another good one - the cinematography is sublime, particularly the scenes going through the wormhole and the black hole.
same.
Their acting is so natural, I have no words to explain it! wow, Christopher Nolan is a master in this stuff!
The look all four give each other on the plane is exactly what happens after you've had a bad trip and wake up with your friends realizing everything is ok and you didn't actually go crazy.
that Chinese guy must be going mad...he spent what about 30 years down there then wakes up in his chair...what a mind bender that was....
bdProductions | Music For Videos this is so fucking true
@@offmarketinvestments9770 he's actually Japanese
Or did you?
Lmao hell yeah 👌😂
His totem isn't even the top, it's his wedding ring. He wears it in every scene he's dreaming. In this scene, he's not wearing it. The ending is less ambiguous than people think. He's not dreaming; he really makes it home.
I do agree with you, Mr. White.
Bs, this shattered my view of the film. WOKE
Sorry
@@archiej6386 "Because in my dreams, we're still together"
A popular theory... but what if the ring simply symbolizes Cobb's guilt he has felt over the death of his wife and how he caused her to believe her life was a dream? And now that he has had closure over it, he may not need the ring anymore, because he has finally accepted what happened:
And therefore, he can accept his children without caring for weather it's a dream or not. Maybe, in the end, his illusion of Mal won after all, she caused him to stop caring weather it's all real or not.
0:06 DiCaprio's ability to convey, with his eyes alone, a person who had experienced an entire lifetime of 80 or 90 years suddenly waking up in a 30 year old's body- KUDOS!!!
he's the goat
🐐
Wait what? What 80-90 years?
@@jinhunterslay1638 well, how long did he spend in the dream?
@@goshaid I checked and it's 50 years with his wife?
Definitely one of my favorite movies ever ❤. One thing I like in Nolan is that he knows how to dress his male characters, in all movies, they are so sharp in these suits.
This is one of the strongest ending in last decade, or century,
*I think
Clearly never seen 2001 A Space Odyssey, Heat or The Searchers then
@@andrewlockett4569 I watched them, but I think Inception is more beautiful.
Interstellar.
@@JumboRelic and Dark Knight
blood diamond
I had the luck to enjoy this whole masterpiece when it came out. I still remembered how the whole theatre just went "OHHHHHHH" out loud when the lights went out after Cobb's totem kept spinning but got a bit slower. And how, literally every single person, kept discussing on whether it stopped or not leaving the theatre. Simply one of the greatest movie endings ever and such a golden time to enjoy the cinema before this "Netflix time".
OOOHHHHH
First film that I ever went to see with my (now) wife. Loved every second. This scene is absolutely golden to me, so much so that I got a spinning top tattoo the other day.
I think it’s cool how we all have our memories during the time this movie was out. My memory is that I had my last soda drink while I was watching this in theaters. I’ve been going 12 years strong :)
@@x1bl0odman oh man, now I want a soda! But seriously, stay strong! 💪
Now we morbius as the modern day master piece
Best "eye acting" ever from Di Caprio
Nope, Al Pacino beats him in The Godfather
Right??!!!!
He’s in the real world at the end for 3 reasons, the top of his totem starts wobbling as if it’s gonna fall over, subtle but noticeable. The second is that Michael Caine is in the scene and Nolan personally told Michael Caine every scene of the movie he’s in is reality, and lastly Cobb can see his children’s faces, in his dreams which are also memories he cannot see his kid’s faces because he doesn’t irl at his home, in this scene he does.
That moment when cillian murphy looks at him and then away like "? why does he look familiar" hahaha
He's gonna kill him later, it's not a good idea to look at Tommy Shelby that way. lol😂
Great actors ❤
Because he handed him, his wallet before the flight took off.
What is most puzzling for him is that, WHY was Cobb in his dream when their interaction was so short.
I'm sure we all, at some point dreamt of some totally random stranger that we knew but don't at the same time. I guess, perhaps that's what Nolan was going for.
I think most of you guys didn't get the message of that brilliant ending. Its not about what is real or not. By spinning the circle at 2:47 Cobb asks himself :" Is this real or not". Then he was about to wait for the answer, when he saw the faces at 3:00 ( by the way the first time in the whole movie ). At that moment he just wanted to hug his kids and in the end he didn't care about it anymore. Nolan wanted to give the answer to the question: It does not matter. As long as you are happy, it can be real or not, it simply doesn't matter. What matters is the love to his kids
+Dancinglings Finally !!!
+Dancinglings I agree... finally somebody got it right. The only reasonable answer to Cobbs' question whether he was in a dream or not was "Who cares?".
You read it from Wikipedia.
RP no i didn't lol
But what about the kids? They still don't have a father if he's trapped in lambo. I personally believe he's not dreaming. Regardless, it's still a beautiful ending.
It should've won Best Picture for this scene alone.
I agree this is one of the most original epic and awesome movies I've ever seen. This movie blows me away every time.
Definitely! It should've won Best Picture PERIOD!!!
This movie is way too fucking epic and intense. I can watch this movie over and over again without getting bored.
Stannis The Mannis I have seen it 10 times
totally.
This scene has lived rent free in my head since the moment I first watched this film.
