Inception ending interpretation WARNING: SPOILERS DONT READ IF NOT WATCHED MOVIE

[Universal]

Was the ending scene on the train and with his kids a dream ?

[Matthew]

My person opinion is it was going to topple. It was starting to wobble.

This is what I think I understood from it ! Once he arrived at this house and saw his kids, he had that physical contact with them like he actually went over and gave them a hug cos he knew or thought it was reality ! BUT he spun the totem thing on the table and the totem didnt stop spinning meaning that it could of still been a dream ?? So in the end we don't know that's why everyone started laughing at the end when I watched it lolllll !

Assuming Saito killed him at the end (he was going for the gun
) as a old man which kicked him back into reality and considering inception was complete he could go to US and see his children. But Saito was still in limbo and he is shown awake on the plane at the end. Should he be stuck in limbo ? Im confused lol. Help me out please.

[Matthew]

I thought they both would have died to kick them back.

Because leo is able to distinguish a dream from reality really well, he reminds saito at the end and tells him he needs to wake up and like you said he reaches for the gun but we dont actually see that he killed him right. BUT back when Leo and his wife were in limbo they grew old together and the only way they could get out was if they killed each other and they did this on the train tracks, SO, I THINK ( and this is probably the only way) that saito actually kills leo and then leo wakes up and realises hes in reality cos he sees everyone awake on the plane and then saito most likely shot him self too (after realising hes in limbo, thanks to leo) and then woke up on the plane, meaning he escaped limbo cos thats the only way you can do so..
Remember that throughout the whole movie, we are told that their is no place further than limbo, so obviously leo realises that when with saito .
bottom line, leo realises hes in limbo > told saito> saito remembered> wake up on plane = reality :)

What I don't understand is they grow old together in limbo but when they die on the train tracks they are young looking?

A friend found out that they used different actors for the children at the end vs the rest of the movie.

Ergo he was in reality.

What I don't understand is they grow old together in limbo but when they die on the train tracks they are young looking?

From imdb.com Q&A
If Cobb & Mal aged 50 years in limbo, why were they young again on the train tracks?

The reason for this is because you can not truly physically age in limbo, for it is a dream. This is why onceMal and Cobb realize they are in limbo and set themselves up in front of the train they look young, for once they realize they are dreaming they shed the illusion of old age. Just like everything else in a dream, age/appearance can be altered at will.

Thanks for finding that!
