a whole hell of a lot of us have been infected

[ibythetide]

so i fall into the camp that says the ending and the top don't really matter because inception took place. it no longer matters to cobb whether he dreams or if he is awake and this is shown because he left the top on the table.

the world is his own.

the story ended the moment cobb walked away. the image of the top spinning and the sound of the top wobbling is for the audience.

i suppose it goes back to the idea being the most dangerous parasite.
