The spinning top at the end of Inception has become one of the most debated movie moments ever.
However, some fans believe the top is actually a distraction.
Instead, the real indicator of reality may be Cobb’s wedding ring.
Throughout the movie, Cobb wears the ring whenever he is inside a dream.
In scenes set in reality, the ring disappears.
In the final scene, Cobb is not wearing the ring when he reunites with his children.
If this theory is correct, it suggests that Cobb has finally returned to the real world.
