Your theory is absolutely fantastic... but... theres one that holds a huge amount of weight to consider, and you almost touched on it. and its very simple. The spinning top is meaningless. The spinning top was his WIFES piece. not HIS. only she could use it, he could not. Wanna know what his piece was? His wedding ring. He only wears a wedding ring when in a dream. Only ever. and he constantly spins it on his finger. Its on him in the dreams because in his own mind he is still married to his wife, because he cant let go. But in the real world, he's never wearing a wedding ring. In the final scene, he's not wearing a wedding ring. So the final scene is true and real. He's really home. The film distracts you by the spinning top, making you ask a question that its already answered.

You mean "storm trooper aim" eh?

I think Mal’s totem works for Dom because as Mal says, they were both one halves of a whole person. Dom can use her totem after her death because of their bond but Dom’s totem is his wedding ring. That’s why he doesn’t wear it outside the dream. The other totems are symbolic too. Arthur’s is loaded die. He is usually in control with Dom and thus gives the people in the dreams the illusion of a fair chance when that’s a lie. Ariadne’s is a pawn, which is often seen as a frail chess piece but is the only chess piece that can resurrect dead pieces when it reaches the end of the board (she saves Fischer).

I am so happy you awarded the score of Time (the end score when Cobb reunites with his children). It is my FAVOURITE score of all time!!!!

Think about it this way. Even if Cobb FEELS like he's stuck in a dream for 10 or 50 years, or forever, in truth its only a few short hours. For his kids in the real world, for them their dad will wake up in a matter of hours. It's only a tragedy for Cobb if it's all a dream because for HIM it'll feel like forever. But at the end, it's true that it doesn't matter if he's awake or not, because when he spun the totem, instead of anxiously waiting for it to fall, he just left it there, and forgot about it, proving that he was happy where he was.

I know this is very late, but I'm pretty sure most people missed the point on the totems. Towards the end it is revealed that Cobb performed inception Mal by spinning her totem in Limbo, leading to her death in the real world. The reason you keep your totem secret is so you don't meet the same fate. Mal created the totems to know what is real, Cobb created the rule that no one can know how it works, so you don't accidentally hurt those you care about.

2:50 oh it's more amazing than you think. It was filmed with practical effects; Nolan got built a rotating room that ate up a big part of the budget. They spent 3 weeks filming it and it's not even a big part of the movie. The fact that Nolan uses film and practical effects over 3D and CGI deserves at least 100 wins, as there aren't many directors who still do that

10 years after and still, nothing came close.

And... yeah, your explanation is actually quite convincing. I only disagree with the fact that it doesn't matter whether if it's a dream. First: If it's not real, it just isn't. That's it. And, besides: If the totem did NOT fall down, then don't you think Cobb will SEE it still spinning when he comes back inside? He's not going to spend the rest of his life out there.

"[...]Remember, killing yourself only sends you one level up. We find “old” Saito and Cobb about to shoot themselves to escape limbo. If they did, then that means they would go back to the snow fortress. But wait, that was Fisher’s dream and Fischer received the “kick” already. If they went back a level up, that means there is nothing there. That means that the first person to die, Saito, would fill that dream with his subconscious, leading to the ending scene where Cobb supposedly reunites with his children. How am I sure? Saito says that he always wanted a “house on a cliff.” In limbo, he is an old man living in a house on a cliff. At the very end when Cobb spins the totem and greets his kids, they say that they have just built a “house on a cliff.” This points to the whole thing taking place within Saito’s subconscious.[...]"

3:10 - The snow level was actually the most incredible lemonade one can make of the lemons you have; that is, the snow wasn't meant to be there, but when it fell they decided to roll with it and just make it part of the level (or so I heard).

Argh, you didn't mention my favorite scene, when Fischer is talking to Browning in the Hotel and Browning begrudgingly lets go that Fischer's father didn't want him to take over the job... except that's not Browning, it's a Fischer's projection, so this scene is Fischer convincing himself via this elaborate ruse... I love it.

My theory is that they're actually performing the Inception on Saito. The point of performing it is because Saito has the ability to clear the charges, which isn't unheard of for someone with that much power. Everyone, including Fisher, are all part of Cobb's team. He put them together basically saying, "How would you like a challenge? I want to perform inception so I can go home. Then, the best thing is the mark will pay you for it." They then just joined in on the dream at the appropriate times. Everything Cobb explains to Saito, Ariadne, "Fisher", and, by extension, we the audience, is performed on Saito. It begins with Mr. Charles. It's easy to miss because Mr. Charles is explained much later in the film, but Cobb exposes himself to Saito. Then, as Saito believes he has the upper hand, he, in a way, convinces Saito that he's an ally. This turns Saito against his own projections. If you remember, at the beginning of the movie, in the dream, and "outside" it, Saito always had a squad accompanying him. Those were his projections. Someone as clever and as careful as he is wouldn't just suddenly leave them behind. You can't feel unsafe in your own country, but feel safe enough to not travel the world without your bodyguards. The second he turns against his projections, Saito loses his "style" and the demeanor of this all powerful guy. He's no longer in limos, showing up in helicopters and all that. He's appearing in a taxi. They are, for the first level, inside Cobb's head, and that's the reason he can never go under. Mal, his kids and the train? That may all *seem* like Cobb's subconscious leaking through, and his projections, but, in actuality, it's a ploy, much like the numbers they pried from "Fisher's" mind and the guy that was like an uncle to him. That idea stuck. That proved the inception was catching on. Saito was being shown how important Cobb's family was to him, and a sense of loyalty on a whole. Through "Fisher", and the opening dream, we also were also shown how, even if they're not directly interacting with you, they can still perform actions in your dream that influences the thought process and inception. So Cobb and crew were constantly putting on these shows to further relations with Saito, much in the same way they did with "Fisher" in trying to earn his trust, destroy his trust in his uncle, and restore faith in his father. You add on how simple the concept must be for the inception to take place, and it really starts coming together. For Mal, he spun the top. So she always believed she needed to wake up. For "Fisher", it was basically, you shouldn't believe in anyone other than yourself and strive to be yourself. He did this by simply putting a paper pinwheel in the safe. For Saito? They stressed the importance of bonds. Mal and the children represented that, and, once it began to stick more and more, Saito's projections became more and more lax, because he'd started to side with them. The Mr. Charles gambit paid off. Then, he was sent to limbo. That in itself is the inception. He was in limbo. He had time to become an old man, believing he'd been forgotten, left behind by everyone, be angry about it, come to terms with it, forgive it, then try to move on. He was old and wizened, and, even the surroundings and his projections had returned to resembling how things were before the Mr. Charles gambit. Not only that, but to show how he'd accepted everything, they did not kill Cobb as projections normally do, especially the trained projections like Saito and "Fisher" had. They bring him to Saito. He allows the totem to be taken because, he's already explained, however slightly, the importance of the totem to Saito. So that brings Saito back and he remembers it's all a dream and he's been trapped all that time in limbo. Then Cobb convinces him with the leap of faith line, as well as the line Saito himself created in reference to Cobb. It was the line about becoming an old man full of regret. The idea they planted is: Cobb is a true friend and will never give up on him. He came back for him, even when he thought he was forgotten. He feels he owes him. He makes it so Cobb can return home. Even if you look at the setup, dreams make more sense when we're asleep. It's only after we're awake that we begin to question it all. That's put forth by the movie as well. In what world would any corporation, or nations, for that matter, allow the world's power supply to come down to just two men, with one about to completely monopolize it? If "Fisher" really was an heir to a corporation like that, and so determined to get his father's approval, then he would, no doubt, also be aware of the face of the his father's greatest rival. Yet he didn't respond in the slightest to him passing him in the airport, yet gave Cobb a knowing nod, just as the others. "Fisher" is also supposedly untrained in such matters, only receiving training similar to Saito to shield his mind from inception. He was also sent to limbo. Yet Saito was the only one out of sorts when waking up. "Fisher" was just as calm and as casual as everyone else. Like he explained the concept to his crew, Cobb also says you can't just insert an idea, otherwise it's lost upon waking up. The target has to believe it was their idea. They have to create inspiration. If someone had just tried to do you harm, more or less, and failed, would you then attempt to hire them to do that very same thing for you? I think not. That was the start of it all right there. Saito had to approach him in the same way they had "Fisher" have to go after his uncle. That's the point of the intense stare from Cobb. He needed to take that risk, because that's the only time they could get to Saito. So that fierce gaze was to really keep him in mind of the inception, and hoping it paid off, so Saito immediately made the phone call. Saito was also in limbo before "Fisher" finished the inception. He had no way of knowing it was completed unless he could experience the dream as a whole. Cobb, nor anyone else, checked with "Fisher" to see if the inception took hold. It's unconfirmed if they completed the job Saito "hired" them to do. Yet he immediately makes that call to clear Cobb of charges. It's all there, and it doesn't really require people to make a lot of drastic assumptions, as with other theories. Much like the idea of "inception" itself, it simply needs you to shift your focus. If you watch that movie again, looking at Saito as the target of the inception, you'll see it all, and the movie will actually click together more than it did looking at "Fisher" being the target to boot.

After a few years, people will definitely look back at Interstellar for not ignoring sound science and for the out of the box imagination of what black holes can be. In the movie, they employed scientific considerations and ideas from Kip Thorne who later received a Nobel prize (for physics if I'm not wrong).

And the father daughter relationship is the best?? after years (60+)for Morph, she sees his father less than 5 minutes and then he goes away like wtf. It's interesting to see that so many casual people like the film so much (i love it too for the audio and visual part) but the story isn't great like the inception story - if you don't think like that idk learn somwthing about a more layer story or so. I think the casual people habe no idea about space and "see" a black hole for the first time p.s little hint about logic errors: they need a huge rocket to go to space, ok, but to start from the water planet with x times gravity, they can just take off or fly away from the massive black hole?? also the time difference between the surface of the blue planet and the "space station" are huge... they couldn't even walk on it if the gravity is correctly mached to cause this time difference ;)

Totally with you!

People are forgetting one huge argument about the film. I believe that in the end, Cobb is awake and everything that is happening is real. Why? Well first of all, the previous arguments are all very convincing, but also, there's the matter that Nolan has a recurring theme in his films. They're left somewhat unconfirmed and open to interpretation, however they hint at a happier ending. In The Dark Knight Rises, (Spoiler Alert), Batman flies the nuke over the ocean and we think we see him getting blown up with it. However in the end, we see him in Italy with Catwoman, although this may just be part of Alfred's imagination. However it is almost confirmed that Bruce is alive due to his fixing the auto pilot in The Bat, thus implying that he could have ejected well before the bomb went off. However the counter argument could be made that the autopilot was fixed, yet Bruce allowed himself to die anyway, as earlier in the film Alfred was afraid that Bruce would "want to fail". In Interstellar, once again there is a somewhat foggy ending however it is mostly happy and positive, just like in Inception. It just wouldn't fit Nolan's personality and film making style to have the ending to Inception be so tragic and disturbing. Although it is ambiguous, I think Nolan believes in happy endings, and thus allows Cobb to have one himself.

You are right but I just have a small comment to make in relation to what you said about Nolan's 'happy endings'. I believe that Nolan is too deep a director to be creating 'happy' and 'sad' endings. Rather, his endings regardless of the movie (Memento, TDK, Interstellar etc.) simply raise a profound question to us as the audience (and not just a shallow one that questions audiences into whether the ending is real or not). The beauty lies in the fact that he isn't trying to indoctrinate us with an idea or to convince us that something is definite/indefinite. Case in point, in Interstellar, the ultimate question that Nolan gives to the audience is, 'What actually is time?' Each of his films are deeply grounded in philosophical viewpoints and the 'endings' pave the way for legitimate questions we as humans have to ask ourselves.

Except those films were written mainly by Jonathan Nolan. Inception was the first film with Christopher Nolan as the sole writer since Memento, and therefore should probably be compared to that. And I've not seen Memento, but judging by what the other guy said, it doesn't have a happy ending.

Any movie with Leo in it is a win!

"I want to see this movie. Show me Cobb and team spending 10 years in a dream hanging out extracting and incepting, what have you." = Tenet?

Having spent the last month finding your channel and then catching up on almost all your superb videos, this one is the only one I’ve found lacking. I’d love to see you revisit it with an updated, more thorough approach!

3:35 I love this scene. Fischer's character arc with his father and discovering that his uncle was trying to tear him down would make a great movie in its own right, but on top of that, we as an audience know that Cobb created this character arc artificially to get Fischer to break up his father's empire, and his uncle is actually a good guy.

Inception is and always will be my favorite movie. Not only for the reasons that you have brought forth, but for the possibilities of interpretation that this masterpiece offers. To me, this is on par with TRON: Legacy in terms of soundtrack, storytelling, interpretability and ingenuity. Well done!

Oh great. Now I feel like watching this movie again.

Truly such an amazing crescendo at the end of the film. Chills every time. Great video.

Ok, I’m going through your log of videos and was already loving them from the get go. But getting this one has made Cinema Wins one of my new favorite channels on KZread. Keep doing what you’re doing, because we need more positivity in this world! Thank you so much.

I think this video needs a remake. You did it back when your reviews were far shorter and more concise, something that I feel this movie simply can't be captured by. It's so elaborate on many levels and really needs a long, deep look into it's many avenues!!!

I was always charmed by Mirza Ghalib's poetry. I once asked my teacher, how do you recognize an artist? She said, a true art is something which carries lots and lots of interpretations that is each person extracting different meaning of the art and You can never tell what the Artist's interpretation was.

Really underrated channel here. Keep up the good work man!

Still my most favorite film of all time. First because of everything you talked about in this video, but also, because this film really introduced my into the world of cinema

i noticed at the end, none of the characters said anything to each other. i might be reaching, but maybe the whole plane ride was just a dream and since Dom saw all of them on the plane, he projected them into his dream, which could explain your theory

I am a connoisseur of fight scenes and the hallway fight is a seriously brilliant fight scene.

you should totally take another look at this movie, a lot of your more recent videos go more in depth so if you have time i'd love to see what else you can find!! love your vids!!

I have watched this video multiple times and every time your explanation of the end just blows my mind about how right it seems. If I have seen the e movie I have watch your reviews. Love your channel, please do more!!

Fun fact:This film only included 500+ VFX shots,while a normal movie includes 2000+ shots

When Cobb gets home and their kids turn the heads... and this time, scene was not cut. Idk but it touched me inside.

Really interesting to see how far you've come since this video!!

1:54 And that's how the Magic works in Doctor Strange.

I love Time on the soundtrack

Dude love your channel, and btw I think you should change your motto to "no movie is without merit"

Love your positivity, so refreshing on these You Tube channels

Wow, thanks for this review. Inception is my all time favourite movie. The 1st few times i saw it I missed a lot of plots and direction, then later I started to understand the movie and why things were as they were. The idea that this could all be Cobb trying to get himself to finally go home is amazing.

what was the song playing at the very end? also this video made me want to rewatch inception, will do that tomorrow :)

Phenomenal job. I absolutely adore this movie and you presented some amazing points to support your theory that I've never heard before. Any chance you'll do a video for The Fugitive (1993)? That is one of my all-time favorite films.

Thank you for finally mentioning that the totem is Mal's. It drives me insane that no one notices that.

Love your theory man. Great video. Gonna watch it tonight - been a while.. so thanks for that 👍🏻

There’s nothing not great about this film. It’s a masterpiece👏🏻

To me, this will always be THE definitive Christopher Nolan film. His best ones outside the Dark Knight always ask a question at the end: "Now...how much of the truth did I just tell you?" The ending of this film took it to the max. Your theory, BTW, is genius AND plausible. I would add one aspect to it: Mal (whose name, in Latin, translates as "evil" or "bad") is actually the lead representation of Cobb's subconscious resistance. If the dream ends, so does her existence. Therefore, she's not trying to help in the direct you posit. She is attempting to convince him to let go of the real world altogether so that he can spend the rest of his life with her...in a dream world.

Tom Norton He's a bit more productive than Kubrick ever was. He mirrors Kubrick in that, despite the range of genres he's worked in, certain themes keep showing up and he has a unique voice that could not be mistaken for anyone else's. That's the working definition of an original to me.

I know probably other people have stated this, but... seriously, this channel should at least get 1 million subs.

I was trying to write a huge long comment but I'm quite high. First video of yours that I've watched and I'm subbing, so thanks for the new videos to look out for :) gonna enjoy marathoning all the others now. (Also had more to add to the theory but I can't explain it rn)

A movie i would like to see is "The golden compass" Can you make that please?

“You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.” ❤️❤️❤️

This is a really good and indepth movie review but damn have you improved over the years. This was also really well researched and thaught out nice cuts but your voice alone is so much better now just your tone and stress on words. Beside it's to short this one XD I kinda would even like a remake but as you did talk about all the essentials and there are probaly end less more videos to cover in well a limited amount of time you probaly won't or shouldn't as this is still an amazing review. But then again this movie reviewed by your future you seen from then so you current you for now or well your past you if you read this in the future (which is well the only time people will read this if they do) or well probaly the future you as in the you you are when people read it is just as good or even better. In any case you past 2020 with this movie with the same text and more content would definitely also be a win. In any case big fan and always looking forward for the new upload thanks for the quality content.

You can tell that Cobb is dreaming when he has his wedding ring on. He even states in the film ‘ in my dreams we’re still together’ (him and mal). In the last scene he doesn’t have his ring on hence he isn’t dreaming - unless he is dreaming because he finally let mal go? Bro I just blew my own mind!

Omg I love Inception ITS AWSOME these videos r awsome make another one of Godzilla I like that movie too and still keep up the good work

This was the movie that Leonardo DiCaprio truly deserve an Oscar, NOT The Reverent. Surprisingly enough, Leonardo didn't get any recognition from the Big Wigs of Hollywood from many of his films whether it is Aviator, Shutter Island, Inception, The Wolf of Wall Street, Django Unchained. Not until he started showing off his extreme Leftist political views dealing with Climate Change/Global Warming, advocating for more Big Government control from the United Nations and NATO. He started doing more Environmentalist stuff that the Academy Awards wets their pants for. I'll be honest, Tom Hardy actually did a better job than Leo, to be brutally honest. Hell, Leonardo DiCaprio is even shaking hands with the corrupted Presidential candidate herself Hillary Clinton. It truly saddens me that Leo has to sell his soul to please the Big Wigs, the shady Shadows of Hollywood just for an Oscar win.

Sadly it's because the Oscars are a somewhat corrupt event. A lot of what goes into who gets the oscar is their involvement with the "Big Wigs of Hollywood" and Leo before the Revenant never really cared about that. He emphasized he was never in the business to be rewarded or get prizes. I'm ecstatic for him that he got his well deserved Oscar, but I also have more respect for him that he never really needed it. I wish the Oscars were given to actors based on public votes. That would make way more sense, everyday people see the movie and people would agree on whichever actor deserved it most. I'm sure Leo would have won several Oscars by now if that were the case. I don't know who DOES pick the winner, but it's stupid honestly.

I agree and Tom Hardy here. It was the first movie I saw him and I truly appreciate the character he portrayed here

I’ve never heard your theory before, and I do kind of like it. I think one of the parts of this film that often gets ignored is how weird and abnormal everything is, even the supposed reality. Saito can reverse murder charges with a phone call, Ariadne is immediately on board with everything, none of the assassins can hit anything, the Mombasa alley closes in on Cobb weirdly… I know Nolan insinuated to Michael Caine that the end is real, and certain things about the kids suggest it is. But there’s also a lot of evidence that it’s a dream - Saito and Mal both saying the “leap of faith” thing is one of the kickers for me, and your theory gives an explanation for this in a way that doesn’t have any clear contradictions.
