inception got a lot of people talking - especially about the ending. there are a bunch of theories being thrown around the web about it. was cobb still in a dream or was he re-united with his children in the real world? will the spinning top keep spinning, or was it about to fall over? honestly, only christopher nolan will be able to answer these questions. but i don't think he will. the ambiguity of the ending is with purpose.
a pessimist would say that cobb is still in a dream, forever stuck in limbo. an optimist would think otherwise. but does it really matter? when you're in a dream, you think it's real. everything feels real even though some things are not right. you can fly, you're long time crush finally likes you, you're a billionaire with super powers, an aswang is after your heart, your pet dog can talk, and other stuff. it's so real that some unlucky people don't even get to wake up. you've heard of bangungunot right? kidding. i'm starting to talk nonsense here.
going back to our discussion... cobb is with his kids again, and is happy. he thinks it's reality. so what if he's still actually dreaming!!! perception is reality. how you choose to perceive things is how they come across to you.
reality is overrated.
