Christopher Nolan is known for the many twists and twiststhat he incorporates into his screenplays. He often plays with our perception and distorts the cinematic reality, starting with his first major respect for Memento and his latest science fiction blockbuster, the action-packed Tenet.
With the name Nolan, a promise is accompanied in the cinema: well -thought -out stories meet on large canvas bombast. The most important key film Inception is in this regard. After the first two Batman films, Nolan created the ultimate Nolan film with the Mindfuck, which is leading by collapsing dream worlds.
Inception is a sci-fi fuck with nasty end
Inception introduces us to the idea of dream sharing. This is a method with which the Freams of a person can become. For Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) this is a child’s play. He specializes in getting into the dreams of others and thereby getting secrets.

However, he faces a special challenge in Inception: this time it is not about getting information. On the contrary: Cobb is supposed to plant a very specific thought into the head of businessman Saito (Ken Watanabe). Soon The borders blur Between dream and reality.
Attention, light spoiler!
Inception leads us deeper and deeper into the dream worlds created by Cobb. In the end, the film comes up with the nastiest twist in Nolan’s career: the real meaning of the last scene is not explained in the film. Instead, Inception releases us with a vibrant picture full of ambiguity.
Since the theatrical release, the end of inception has caused discussions. Nolan himself has never led to an official explanation, which is only conducive to the reputation of the film. At a time when large Hollywood blockbusters can often not explain enough, that is ambivalent final idea a gift. Michael Caine nevertheless revealed a trick with which the end of inception becomes clearer.
