Michael Caine Finally Reveals Inception Ending To Resolve Debate Once And For All

Inception Ending Revealed By Michael Caine

The year’s 2010. You’re watching Leonardo DiCaprio’s new blockbuster Inception, all about dreams and falling asleep. After 2 long hours in the cinema, you look forward to finally understanding what the film is all about.

And then director Christopher Nolan leaves you hanging.

Does the totem keep spinning or does it fall? If it keeps spinning, it means Leonardo is dreaming. And if it falls over, he’s in reality.

Right before you find out, it cuts to black and the lights at GV Plaza Singapura come on. In the 8 years since, no one really knows what happened at the end of Inception.

Need a reminder of the final scene? We break down its meaning after the jump.

Was it all a dream–or was he living in reality? The mystery was finally solved this week by veteran actor Michael Caine.  He played Leonardo’s father in the film.

Here’s what he had to say about that final sequence:

When I got the script of Inception, I was a bit puzzled by it.

And I said to [Nolan], ‘I don’t understand where the dream is.’

I said, ‘When is it the dream and when is it reality?’

He said, ‘Well, when you’re in the scene, it’s reality.’ So get that — if I’m in it, it’s reality. If I’m not in it, it’s a dream.”

And since Caine is in the final scene, it must be really happening. There you go — so it was not a dream. He was back in reality.

 

Singaporeans loved Inception, judging by its success at the box office here. It was the 3rd-highest grossing film of 2010, only behind Iron Man 2 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part One).
