So basically it's either he was back in reality by the end or he was one layer deep in dream still without realizing it, which seemed like the whole point of the ending, to leave it in limbo so people aren't %100 percent sure. I left thinking he was in reality but I was tired as shit (maybe not the best movie to see with no rest it turns out h so who knows, though I had no trouble following the plot.

Half way through though I thought I was thinking too far ahead and had figured out that his wife escaped and he was still stuck, thought I spoiled the twist for myself but by the end I no longer thought that :shrug:

The ending reminded me very much of the one in "Taxi Driver" in the sense that the movie finished on an emotional level. At the end of Taxi Driver, we get a collage of newspaper reels stating how Travis Bickle is a hero for taking the law into his own hands and rescuing a child prostitute from her pimp. The world loves him but yet we don't know if he's alive or not from the shootout or if it's his thoughts before dying but at least we assume that he's seen as an honorable man now.

Based off of that, what difference would it make if Cobb was still in a dream state or not? The plot of the film (the intellectual part) revolved around Saito's Inception scheme but the story (the emotional part) revolved around Cobb's torment and like Taxi Driver, it ended on an emotional note than a literal one.

Because they intentionally left it open-ended? :dunno:
