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.
I just teared up reading this. 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). That’s so incredible to hear that this resonated with you during your safe return from what was undoubtedly an extremely trying time
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.
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)
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
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. :)
“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”
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
@@ScottJohnson-cf8fkno he is not. The actor himself accidentally revealed the true meaning behind the scenes. Every scene Micheal Caine was in was real life according to Micheal Caine himself.
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.
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.
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.....
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 TH-cam 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
Hans Zimmer has much better scores than inception, dark knight or interstellar....I personally think his score for the last samurai is his best yet.., gladiator, thin red line...a never ending list!!
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.
This scene is so wild. Imagine you lived out your entire life and a guy you met decades ago comes out of nowhere and tells you to trust him that this reality is not real, and that you need to end it all in order to escape.
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” ❤❤❤❤❤
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 look Arthur gives Cobb at 1:56 is my favorite scene in the whole movie. It seems to me he is almost laughing because he can't believe they actually did it and more importantly he can't believe Cobb went into Limbo and successfully pulled Saito out.
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'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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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

One of the best endings in the movie history. I love that Zimmer made us feel that ambiguity with the piano stopping and music fading in an instant.

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.
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
The point is the character doesn't care if it stops spinning or not. Chris Nolan.
The last movie I saw with my best friend. Still one of my favorites.
Hands down the GOAT of all movie endings.. i will always believe Cobb finally made it home.
Fischers face as: where have i seen this guy before
Just got back from watching HANS ZIMMER in NYC . this was the last song, amazing
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.
We miss such movies.
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.
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 best ending, especially for those who have suffered and endured pain but have survived, healed, and overcome.
Why don’t they make such movies anymore 😢😢😢
best climax i have ever scene in my life
Something always gets me when cobb passes all the crew. It's like a beautiful send off... A quiet victory
Anyone else notice what the son’s response was when Leonardo asks him what he was building? ;)
House of clay? What was it
@@byronmann4525 house on a cliff.
@@byronmann4525 "We're building a house on a cliff". A reference to the Japanese house.
@@andyspurlock5957 So it'd be a hint that he might still be dreaming?
@@byronmann4525 could be! :)
I love how he looks at Fischer someone, he just had an insane adventure with, while they never actually met.
Great ending montages are a Nolan trademark, and this is one of his best (in perhaps my favorite film of his).
Inception airport scene (where he saw is teammates the last time) hits different especially eames and arthur (my favourite duo of all time).
There are 13 movies ranked ahead of this on IMDB and most don't even come close to it
What an amazing soundtrack at the end
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.
That look at that man with the phone!😤
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.
인셉션은 저에게 큰 감동과 영감을 준 영화입니다. 놀란 감독님 감사드립니다.
The moment when the faces of his kids show will never not bring a tear to my eye
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 👍🏻👍🏻
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
Arguably the greatest movie twist ending ever
this is masterpiece 😭
And that ladies and gentlemen is how you end a movie. When Nolan is concluding his films he goes all out !!!!!
This is Pure Masterpiece.
