Well remembered.

Fans finally have an answer to the debated ending of Inception, even if it may still leave some unsettled. Director Christopher Nolan revealed that Cobb's character doesn't care if he's still in a dream, focusing on his emotional reunion with his children.

However, Michael Caine once cleared up the ambiguity surrounding the film’s final scene. In a clip from 2018, which recently resurfaced on Reddit, the British actor is seen introducing a Film 4 screening of the acclaimed Christopher Nolan film.

Arguably, Inception's ending is a conscious visual Limbo, designed to trap the viewer. From the moment Cobb and Saito wake, there is no more dialogue between the characters and few shots or images that would concretely explain or prove one interpretation. If Cobb is still dreaming, that could mean his entire team and family are all projections.
