skillzdadirecta Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 It was never a mystery to me... it was pretty clear based on the narrative of the film. The Internet just over thought it and Nolan let them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I’ve always argued that the question misses the point. For Cobb, it doesn’t actually matter, he has peace with his life when he wakes up on the plane which is why the moment he sees his kids he forgets about the top. But it’s the real world at the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 The wedding ring gives it away, when he's wearing it vs. when he's not wearing it. It's never really been a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As poor as Nolan often is at centementality, I actually think the ending of Inception is one of the few times he got it right for exactly this reason. People get so caught up in the puzzle of it all, that they fixate on a potential mystery rather than recognizing what he was trying to communicate with that last shot.
