Understanding the Ending of Inception

Rating: Null/10 (24 July 2010)

I walked out the cinema theater in a daze like many times before. Movies like Memento and The Dark Knight ,which are also from Christopher Nolan, are included in a long list. Many movies can be so lovable, but no of them perfect cinema like this one. I had loved Nolan before but I am now sure he is the best director of all time. He not only directed the movie, but he also wrote and produced it too. I could tell the summary of the movie but that would not be fair to the whole cast of Inception. Anyone person's word is simply not good enough to tell you how mind blowing Inception really is. It is simply a experience you will have to remember for yourself. Nolan will change how you view the world whether you know it or not.
Instead of a summary of a movie that you may know, I will try and help you understand my interpretation of it. Leo's character plays upon the idea of convincing a single person of an idea, but by making the person think it was there idea. Doing this, the team with Leo go down deep into Fisher's sub conscious. Problems start to occur when Leo's wife shows up in his mind. While seeing this lady appear, Ellen Page sees her. Leo tells her that she killed herself thinking that they were still in dreaming. From what I have understood, the wife was in fact right and they were all still in the dream world. The last scene showed Leo's totem,the spinning thing, was still spinning. It started to shake but it never stopped spinning. One could argue both sides but I am going to say the wife was right. If the totem was still spinning then that means Leo was still in a dream world which meant the wife had escaped when she killed herself. She then couldn't wake him up because he was so far into limbo. The totem didn't fall because it was either his dream or she chose not to want the truth.
