Here are my two cents on the subject. I think the entire movie was Cobb stuck in a dream. Its not just the top at the end, its the ability to fly all over the country, getting chased by nondescript g-men etc. The big things for me though were how did Cobb and Mal get stuck in limbo after only 1 dream. It only ever shows them 1 level deep. I think Mal was right and they needed to go one more level. Another point was he ends up in France(we never know how gets places) and talks to his father in law, a key line was "Come back to reality".
Sure all those could be interpreted a certain way but I like mine the best.
- bdr 16y agoI agree, but "stuck in a dream" doesn't explain the events of the movie. My theory is that Moll knows (from the level where she jumps) that Cobb knows hows to do inception. She gets back to reality and tell people. The film portrays this knowledge being "extracted" from him -- perhaps, in part, to get him to finally jump.
- papaf 16y agoI really liked Inception but wanted Mal to be right too. There is a similar film called Avalon which isn't half as entertaining: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0267287/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0267287/ However, the ending in Avalon is mind blowing and makes the film worth seeing.
- golgo13 16y agoMy problem with this theory is that if Mol did wake up after jumping off the building, why didn't she kick Cobb back to the real world?
