There is something that has bothered me for a long while. People wanting to know about the top at the end of Inception. "Does it fall? Is this a dream?" What's worse is when people say they hate the film because the question is not answered. In truth, however, Christopher Nolan didn't want you to care. At the end of the film Cobbe is home with his children and he spins his top, his totem, to see if it is real life or a dream. But he leaves the top, not waiting to see if it falls. The message Nolan was trying to convey was that it didn't matter to Cobbe if it was real or not, he was happy and that was all that mattered.
But it totally would've fallen.
