Since its release 14 years ago, the film Inception has captivated audiences with its mind-bending plot and unforgettable ending. Fans have been tirelessly searching for answers and discussing theories, but one fan theory in particular may have finally cracked the code.
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Dom Cobb, a skilled thief who can enter people's dreams and extract information from their subconscious, Inception also featured an all-star cast including Sir Michael Caine, Elliot Page, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Marion Cotillard. Directed by the mastermind Christopher Nolan, the film left viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
Speaking of the ending, it famously left viewers with a cliffhanger as Dom was reunited with his children and spun his totem, a spinning top that would never stop spinning in a dream but would topple in reality. However, before viewers could see the outcome, the screen cut to black, leaving everyone to come up with their own interpretations.
But now, a fan on Reddit has proposed a new theory that has shaken up everything we thought we knew. User EndlessEdvoid suggested that the spinning top may not have been Dom's totem after all, but rather his wedding ring. They provided multiple screenshots from different parts of the movie as evidence, pointing out that Dom only wore his ring in his dreams and not in reality. In the final scene, he is shown without his ring, leading to the theory that the happy ending was actually reality.
Other fans quickly chimed in to support this theory and even added their own insights. Some pointed out that Dom's wedding ring was his true totem all along, as it was a unique item that only he possessed. Others noted that the spinning top was actually his late wife's totem, not his own.
Despite the endless discussions and theories surrounding the ending, director Christopher Nolan has remained tight-lipped, stating that the only thing that matters is what Dom believes to be real. And even the star of the film, Leonardo DiCaprio, has admitted that he has no idea what the ending truly meant, comparing it to his confusion over the plot of his movie Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
In the end, it seems that the true meaning of the Inception ending may be open to interpretation, and each viewer may have their own unique understanding. But for now, we can all agree that the wedding ring theory has definitely given us something to think about.
