Okay, regarding that ending....

When I saw the movie I was kind of disappointed with the ending, because I felt like "okay every film-maker these days just has to leave on that type of note... that whole what-if." I felt like it let me down because it was so formula, not because it left on an unresolved note.

But then I read another interpretation of the ending on a message board earlier that had not occurred to me, and I liked it so much it has completely changed my opinion of the ending. Instead of the ending being about what is reality, it's more about the central character.

Throughout the movie when Cobb thinks of his children or imagines them in his dreams he never sees their faces. Perhaps that is because he knows that if he does see their faces he will not be able to leave his dream... he'll want to stay there with them. At the very end of the movie Cobb sees his children, his dad, his family and he is happy for the fist time in a long time. He spins the top but then walks away to be with his kids without ever seeing if it has fallen down or not. Cobb is in a happy place, maybe the happiest he has ever been. He doesn't care any more if the world he is in is 'reality' or his dreams... he's not leaving and so regardless this is now reality for him.

I like it. Redeems the ending for me.

I guess that is what I assumed all along. I'm always about a happy ending, and he ended up happy so no complaining from me! I like that they didn't tell you if it was real or not.

I haven't seen Inception, but can one of you who has seen it verify this for me?

Absolutely.
With Inception ripping off Scrooge McDuck and Avatar ripping off Fern Gully/Pocahontas it looks like this is becoming a trend.

For the record, the concept from Inception was around long before McDuck. Though what Inception did with the idea was fantastic.
