Inception's Ending
Immense spoilers below, if you haven't seen the movie, consider yourself warned.
Right then, am I the only one who, looking it over, thinks it's an easy case to make that Leonardo DiCaprio was in the real-world, or at the least, the dream was the better world, in the end?
Given how much Mal seemed to love him - Albeit in her own demented, psychotic, suicidal, mentally tortured way - you'd assume she'd wake him up when she woke up if it was indeed a dream she committed suicide in. Especially given that if the "real-world's" dream technology resembles the "dream" world's dream technology, which it did in the dreams used in the inception, so I assume it does in this scenario, means that to have been in the same dream as two real people, they had to be in a fairly close distance.
The only four reasons I can think of that she wouldn't wake him up would have been A. The dream technology in the real world isn't a briefcase, and you don't need to be nearby, and she hasn't found him yet, B. She was killed upon awaking for some reason, in which case DiCaprio's probably better off dreaming, C. The world is so messed-up she decided not to wake him, though then I don't get why she didn't return, or D. He was right, she was crazy, and she indeed did die. Of all these, D seems the most likely. A is also fairly possible, but again, in-world they didn't bother altering the devices in-dream to something more convenient even, so I don't think it's A.
Normally I try to avoid fan theories, but at two paragraphs, one of which is just summarizing, I don't think this is too bad.
