Did you know that in INCEPTION...

Did you know that in INCEPTION... Cobb wears a wedding ring in his dreams -- but never in the real world. In the final scene, he doesn't wear a ring -- implying that he happily reunites with his family in reality.

My favorite movie of all time! I always figured he was in the real world in the end, because the top starts to wobble, whereas in the dream it would spin perfectly endlessly

[zildeos]

And just like that, my 7 years of wondering if the final scene was a dream or not are over.

Also, any scene where Michael Caine appears is not a dream.

[ValWillKay]

Also, Michael Caine has said that any scene he is in, is in the real world.

[anthonytitone]

It’s intentionally left ambiguous, the point is that he embraces the reality he is in regardless

[larryfish]

The ring is Cobbs totem. Everyone thinks its the top because he uses it but the top was Mals. Its all he has left of her and part of his grieving process. The ending also signifies his final letting go of Mal, as its the only time in the movie he walks away from it/isnt attached to its outcome.

I think that even deeper than figuring out he is in the real world, is that fact that he doesn’t care… he doesn’t wait for the spin to finish, dream or not, he wants his family

[jaimevalencia]

He also says. Cause in my dreams we are together. And it shows the ring on everytime they are in a dream state. His wife’s totem was the spinning top

Allen singlehandedly solved a decade old debate.

The top Leo spins at the end is just a distraction. Chris told Michael anytime he is in a scene it's the real world.

[Leonidas-wsiw]

this is the best one yet you gave us the key to figuring out the twist at the end.

[kamagoong]

The ring is his totem. Mal's top is just his morbid fidget spinner.

[PsycheFlux]

I was feeling super depressed today and this actually made me feel better

[mrkenke.]

what if... the whole movie just just a dream, while he's in a coma...

[Eddy]

I love this. Everyone was so focused on the top that they forgot about the ring.

[GuruOfwisdom]

Great to get more confirmation that he was awake at the end! 😎

[MrMarsFargo]

HOLY SH*T, WAIT, THAT’S ACTUALLY SO SMART! Like, the main problem with the top being his totem is that it used to be someone else’s, so there’s another person who knows it’s weight and structure besides him. But this second totem is something only HE knows, so it’s a more trustworthy indicator that he’s not asleep at the end!

[Larrystopics]

Also Michael Caine ask the director if Leonardo DiCaprio was in the real world at the end of the filming and director said every scene that you're in is the real world ever seen that you're not in is the dream world

[CaptainLevi.]

Ah yes, the question that was in my mind for 5 years finally got an answer
