I am facing the truth here. This movie Inception has kept me up just to think about what the ending means. Is the ending a dream or reality? I have also asked numerous colleagues, and the answers are all different.
“I think he is still in the dream.”
“Nope, he is already awake. He opened his eyes in the flight, remember?”
“My guess is that he is living in his wife’s dream!”
“What about the part when he woke up on the shores? Is that a dream too?”
Seems that the debate is around “in a dream or not” or “whose dream is it”. Well, if you think that is absurd, consider this: “There was one morning, when I woke up, and wonder if I am living in my dream world or reality. I looked around and searched desperately for my totem…” Can you beat that?
Putting all questions aside, I must say that this movie was brilliant, the script was brilliant (it was based on a nine years research done by Christopher Nolan, mainly on lucid dreaming and the concept of dream incubations.).
Just keeping an open mind here, and yeah, I still think about the ending. Is the ending a dream or a reality? Is Leonardo DiCaprio the best actor on earth? Did he really go further with Marion Cotillard? Do I need to say more? Of course I will watch Inception again.
Check out this funny conversation between Leonardo and Guillaume Canet (Cortillard’s partner):
Haha... Sherry, don't kill me...
