It is recommended that those who have finished reading it come to see this again. What is wrong can be said, after all, I dare not be right. Many people say that "Inception" is still in a dream, which is a tragedy. Many people say that this is Nolan’s open ending, but Nolan has never used an open ending. In fact, the ending is that Cobb returned to reality. There are two pieces of evidence. Evidence 1: Cobb has never forgotten his wife. He has always used his own memory to make dreams, recalling his wife and children. Cobb has been in the memory several times, and the child has appeared many times in his dreams. Look carefully at the back of the child. In the end of the film, you look at the child carefully, and the child looks back. This is one point. The most important point, haven't you noticed that the child has grown up? It turns out that the child Cobb saw is always in memory, so the child at that time was basically when he was with his wife a few years ago, and at the end of the child, you will find that the child has grown up if you look closely. This shows that this is not in his memory. In his dream, he returned to reality and saw the children who had been away from him for a few years. At this time, the children had grown up a little bit. Nolan also used different actors for the child twice, which proves that he is back to reality, but he can't find the cast. Evidence 2: Why did you say that the top did not fall? In fact, the top turned slower and slower later, and it trembled, but it was over as soon as it finished. But have you heard the "ding" at the end, it's very big, maybe this is the top down. Evidence 3: The ring. Cobb always wears the wedding ring in his dreams. I didn't see this carefully. But in the dream, he almost always wears the wedding ring on his hand, and it disappears when the spinning top is turned in the end. . Can explain back to reality. Furthermore, Nolan's clever use of these loopholes can make everyone think that it is an open ending and more memorable, but his details prove that the ending is back to reality. I believe Nolan is letting us keep discussing after reading it. , Can be said to be a disguised hype, but his use is very clever. Nolan also told many people that sometimes dreams may be reality, reality may be dreams, true or false, who can resist all the temptations of perfection in dreams to recognize whether it is reality or dream?

    Arthur: You've done it before? What, with Mal? 'Cause that worked so good!

    Cobb: That has nothing to do with it. I did what I had to do to get back to my children.
