Ever since the film ‘Inception’, one of the many masterpieces by director Christopher Nolan (53), was released in cinemas in 2010, there has been only one big question that haunted fans after seeing the film: what does that last mysterious shot mean? from the movie? The answer to that question was just answered by Nolan himself, fourteen years after the premiere.
Like his other film projects, Christopher Nolan’s ‘Inception’ remains a film that appeals to many to this day. The story follows Dom Cobb, a thief who has the unusual ability to enter people’s dreams and steal secrets from their subconscious. Leonardo DiCaprio, Cillian Murphy, Joseph Gordon Levitt and Elliot Page star in the leading roles.

‘Inception’ was a huge success at the box office, but for fourteen years there was still one big question on viewers’ minds: what does the mysterious final shot in the film mean? The answer to that question now comes from Nolan himself.
The reason is a tweet that appeared on January 25, in which a user asked “What is the greatest unsolved mystery of all time?” Soon another
At the end of the film, main character Cobb returns to his children after completing his mission. He sits down and spins a top. The film ends with a long shot of a spinning top, without us discovering whether it has become unbalanced or not. If it continues to spin, it means Cobb is still stuck in a dream. It’s a mystery that has captivated fans for years, but fortunately, Nolan revealed his logic behind the blockbuster’s ending in an interview with Josh Horowitz on his podcast ‘Happy Sad Confused’.

Although Nolan’s answer to that one question won’t appeal to everyone, he does reveal some important insights: “It’s not a question I can comfortably answer,” he starts his story. “The point of that final shot is that Cobb’s character no longer cares about the spinning top. Cobb has also moved on and is happy with his children again. The ambiguity is not an emotional ambiguity. It is an intellectual ambiguity for the viewing audience.”
Whether Cobb is actually in reality or in a dream remains a mystery to fans. But with Cobb’s storyline coming to an end with his reunion with his family, many fans are already more than satisfied.
