      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.

    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

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.

      @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 UA-cam instead of watching the movie.

  • @CB-lw7ty
    @CB-lw7ty 21 день тому +6

    The greatest mystery from this film is how people are somehow confused by the ending like the movie didn't explain everything you needed to know.
    It's reality, why?
    The top in the dream constantly spins perfectly, it doesn't wobble or stop, so the fact it wobbles shows you it's reality.
    For people commenting about his wedding ring, it's irrelevant, it's explained in the movie to Ariadne that totems are just a reality check and the reason you keep them to yourself is so that only you know the weight, size and properties of the totem so it's not tampered with. That's all totems are, they aren't soul bound to only work for specific people, its just a tool to check reality with and as Cobbs wife is no longer around that means he can use hers if he chooses and it'll work the same as his own totem.
    If you're somehow questioning this movie's ending you would have literally had to not pay attention to one of the key concepts throughout the film.

    I love this ending. I know it ends on an ambiguous note, but I believe it's real life and not a dream for two reasons:
    1. Usually when Cobb dreamt of his children or even thought about them, their faces remained unseen. This time, the children turn and face him. They even run to their father and embrace him, whereas during the dreams and flashbacks, they either walk out of Cobb's sight, or they're being led away.
    2. Usually in Cobb's dreams, the totem spins and spins without any interruption. This time, it wobbles as if it's about to fall any moment, we just don't witness it.
    Just my two cents. 😀

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.

    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 ending is NOT ambiguous. We see that the top slows down and starts to wobble. What does that imply? That it's going to topple. What did they establish in the movie? That the top keeps spinning if Cobb is dreaming and that it falls over if he's awake. Well, a wobbling top means it WILL fall over. The thing is Nolan respected the audience's intelligence enough to know what he was implying without having to spell it out completely. Had he waited for the top to fall and THEN cut to black, everyone would've been like _"Oh, well, way to spell everything out for us, Nolan. No subtlety at all."_ But instead he didn't show it tumble BUT he gave us a hint that it would, which is very respectable of him. But it backfired completely cuz most viewers who saw this were like _"We didn't see the top fall over, it COULD be a dream!_ Cuz general audiences today need EVERYTHING spoon-fed to them cuz implications (no matter how obvious) are too just subtle nowadays. It highlights how dense the general audience has become. It's depressing.

    • @SeveralDolphin8
      @SeveralDolphin8 5 місяців тому +2

      I disagree with you fine sir. I do agree Nolan respects the audience and their ability to figure things out. But this ending is more a metaphor. It’s a metaphor for the question we keep asking ourselves. “Is this the end?” Is what Cobb thought to himself as he spun that top, but as he sees his kids again, and can finally see their beautiful faces. That question leaves him… and ends up in our hands. Is he finally finished? Is this reality? COULD this be a dream? We wonder. The top is a metaphor for not knowing what comes next. It’s a symbol that shows us no matter how hard we think we know what happened, we don’t. And I think it’s absolutely genius. I understand your gripes with modern audiences, but this movie didn’t have that problem. This ending was a masterfully done, open ending QUESTION, left in the hands of the viewer. That’s my take.

      @rustincohle2135 5 місяців тому

      @@SeveralDolphin8 _"I disagree with you fine sir."_
      Disagree with what? Everything I stated was a fact. Tops need momentum to keep spinning, fact. Loss of momentum results in the top falling over, fact. The film establishes that the top will keep spinning in a dream, fact. Tops fall to indicate it's not a dream, fact. As they lose momentum, tops wobble before they fall, fact. The top is shown to wobble before the screen cuts to black, fact. Showing the audience the top falling over completely has no subtlety and would've generated criticism, fact. And Nolan knows that because he's a very intelligent filmmaker, fact. Implying that the top will fall is more effective than showing it, fact. There's nothing to disagree with.
      _"The top is a metaphor for not knowing what comes next"_
      That literally makes no sense since the characters in the film use their totems to give them information, the totems are not meant to leave them in the dark. And again, if it's a dream, then why is the top wobbling? What's that interpretation? Wobbling means it'll fall. That's not ambiguous.
      Also, _Inception_ is not one of those films filled with symbolism and metaphors. It was all a concept movie from Nolan. He's way more of a technical filmmaker and not so much an emotional one or one to make grand statements about humanity. This isn't the script of _The Graduate, Rocky, Se7en, Whiplash_ or _American Beauty_ that are all littered with symbolism and subtext. _Inception_ was just a high concept sci-fi action movie with a cool premise. The subplot of Cobb and his wife was merely shoehorned in to give the movie an emotional core because movies are required to have them. So, on the surface, it appears that this film is not completely all style and no substance. Even though it actually is, cuz you can clearly tell that the subplot with Cobb and his wife was the thing that interested Nolan the least. He obviously cared way more about showing off dream concepts in a big budget blockbuster (like lucid dreaming, dream physics, the kicks to wake you up, not knowing how dreams start, dream within a dream, the shifts in gravity etc.). The "emotional" story is the thing that audiences connect to and remember the least. Viewers only seem to remember the cool concept of the movie, the hallway fight scene etc. The technical stuff. The only time they mention the Cobb family storyline is to debate if it's a dream or not. But it doesn't seem like anyone's actually devastated if Cobb isn't actually with his kids. I never found Nolan to be particularly effective at handling emotion in his films, as he's clearly a way more cerebral filmmaker than a sentimental one. He's not Spielberg or Edward Zwick.
      So, if the ending is a dream, then what's the timeline of events that transpire in the film that would allow it to happen? The other characters wake up in the van from the kick and wait to wake up on the plane-- all they're doing is waiting for the sedative to wear off. Cobb enters limbo and finds Saito who has aged into a very old man. At the dinner table they're eating at, Cobb reminds Saito of their agreement, and they reach for the gun with the intention of ending the dream and then it cuts to them waking up on the plane, implying they did end their dream together using the gun. So, if Cobb waking up on the plane (and subsequently going home) is a dream, then when and where does he dream that? At what point does he start imagining all this in his head? Does he dream into another dream layer while he's in limbo, a dream within limbo? You can't! It's established in the film that limbo is the last dream level, there's no dream level above it. If you die in limbo, you wake up (as what happened to Cobb and his wife in the middle of the movie). Nothing in the film suggests that Cobb slips into another dream. None of the major plot points in the movie give the audience clues of ambiguity that the story could go either way.
      Literally the only thing people debate is the last two seconds. But for the ending to be ambiguous and possibly be a dream, there needs to be hints to suggest it as a possibility prior to that. Like in _Total Recall,_ we don't know for sure if the ending is real or not cuz the movie sows seeds of doubt that Arnold is really awake throughout the runtime, with multiple characters telling him he's dreaming etc. There's none of that in _Inception._
      And again, if it's a dream, then what's the point of the film? That the team failed in their mission to get Fischer to start his own company? That Cobb and Saito can't wake up from limbo? That they're both stuck sedated on the plane while the others awake? There's no thematic point to any of those outcomes. Not to mention, there's no events or hints in the film that indicate this is happening.
      I'm gonna be even more cynical and take this one step further. I'm quite certain Nolan knows that the general audience is quite dense and needs to be spoon-fed everything. Smart people know that he was implying that the wobbling top will fall (because that's what wobbling tops do), but Nolan knew if he didn't show it fall on camera, then the masses would debate the ending for years on end. It was his cynical way to keep people discussing the film well into the future. It's just like the ending of _The French Connection._ All we hear is the final gunshot and the screen cuts to black and people have been debating the "ambiguity" for decades, even though nothing ambiguous happens in the movie prior to the ending. But then, director William Friedkin admitted he did it solely to end the movie with a bang... literally. Friedkin admitted it had no deeper meaning but it kept people talking about his film, which he wanted. The ending of _Inception_ is exactly that.

    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.
