The biggest mystery in the film industry is solved! Did you guess the ending of "Inception" correctly?

The ending of "Inception" is seemingly an open ending, but in fact the ending has been determined - the protagonist Cobb (played by "Leonardo DiCaprio") finally returns I arrived home in the United States and met my children.

The reason why some people say that the ending of "Inception" is incredible is because there is no shot of the top stopping at the end of the film. Because if the top does not stop, it means you are still in a dream; if the top stops, it means the protagonist has returned to reality. However, there is no mention in the entire movie that Cobb’s totem is the top! And whose totem is this top? Cobb's wife Mo'er. It was precisely because Cobb moved his wife's totem that she couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams, which ultimately indirectly led to Mo'er's suicide... But although the top in the film was teetering, it didn't stop it. lens.

Since the top is not Cobb’s totem, why does Cobb bring a top every time he performs a mission? That's because Cobb, as an excellent dream builder, made everyone think that his totem was a spinning top just to be on the safe side, but in fact he wanted to hide his true totem.

How to prove whether it was Cobb's dream at the end? The movie gives two hints.

Children’s Faces

From the beginning of the movie, when Cobb went to find Saito who was trapped in the abyss, Cobb’s two children were always in the background. Whether in Cobb's own dreams or in other people's dreams, the children Cobb saw were only back figures, and they passed by in a flash.

But after Cobb returned home to the United States, he finally saw the faces of the children he had dreamed of. This proves that the ending is in reality and not a dream.

Cobb’s totem

Since the top is not Cobb’s totem, what is his totem? Although the movie doesn't say it, if you look carefully, you can see that his totem is a ring - a ring that exists in dreams but does not exist in reality.

In Saito's dream at the beginning of the film, Cobb is obviously wearing a ring. At the end of the movie, when Cobb went through the security check, he was not wearing a ring in his hand.

So director Christopher Nolan didn't play tricks on us. Cobb finally returned to his home and hugged his children who hadn't hugged him in a long time.
