Christopher Nolan's plot map of Inception has Twitter guessing the end

Remember Inception, Christopher Nolan's 2010 science fiction movie? The one in which Leonardo DiCaprio plays Dom Cobb, a professional thief who uses dream-sharing to infiltrate the subconscious of targets? Did you find the layered plot confusing? Then, here is a peak into the mind that came up with this layered plot.

Writer Julian Shapiro has shared on Twitter, director Nolan's hand-drawn plot map for his film Inception, calling it "a rare find for my fellow movie nerds." He credits the source to the book 'The Nolan Variations: The Movies, Mysteries, and Marvels of Christopher Nolan', written by Tom Shone.'

Fans of the movie latched on to the tweet with great interest. Some found the plot map as confusing as the movie plot. Others followed those lines and came up with their reading of what really happened at the end of the movie.


"So, he actually came back to the real world. Or at least the first one where he appears," commented a user.

"YES this seems to confirm they are in "reality" on the top level/plane," replied another.

The movie ended with Cobb not watching the spinning top which told him whether he was in a dream or in the real world.

So, do you read something from the plot map? Was he in a dream? Or in the real world?
