Christopher Nolan Reveals Correct Answer to Inception Ending

(Variety) – Theories about the ending to the Christopher Nolan film Inception have been buzzing around for 13 years and now we finally have an answer. If you don’t remember the ending, Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Cobb has completed his mission and he is back home with his children. He spins the totem top and it starts to wobble but it ends before we know the definite answer if he’s awake or dreaming.

Nolan said on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast that Cobb’s emotional journey is complete and he doesn’t care if the top spins or falls. In an article by Wired, Nolan said “The ambiguity is not an emotional ambiguity. It’s an intellectual one for the audience.”
