The Movie "Inception" was released in 2010. Produced, directed and partly written by Christopher Nolan, the director of Batman, Inception stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Dileep Rao, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, and Michael Caine. All great names in movie theaters. DiCaprio plays a thief, named Don Cobb, who commits various crimes by infiltrating into the dreams of people, to understand their secrets, plans and weaknesses. He is offered a nearly impossible job, which if completed, will return him his freedom. The Job is this - "Inception" - to implant another person's idea into a target's subconscious, through three levels of dreams.

At the end of "Inception" the viewer is left with a choice:

• 1. To believe that it is a happy ending and Cobb is free.
  or
• 2. To believe that Cobb as lost his ability to distinguish dream from reality and is in fact stuck in a dream, and is not truly free.

The viewer either must then decide for himself. However this is not the case!!!

The producers and writers of Inception have left clues throughout the movie, which lead to the conclusion that in fact, Don Cobb has returned to reality and has truly received his freedom in the real world. This hub will explain the clues and my deduction logic.

In the movie, every person has his own "totem", which shows if he is in a dream of in the real world. Don Cobb uses the totem of his wife, Mal, who committed suicide. My logic is the following: If it is not his totem, it will not work for him. Cobb's actual totem is his wedding ring. On the picture below , you can see he has no ring. Whenever he is dreaming, he has it on, as he says: "I am still together with Mal in my dreams!" In reality, he is not wearing a ring. During the last scene (on the picture) - he has no ring on - logically: It is reality and Cobb has truly received his freedom and right to be with his family.

I really do hope that this ending is the truth, because for me it has given me the hope that Don Cobb did not fight for anything. It completes the movie and leaves me in peace.

I hope you agree and liked the up.
