Yes I am aware that I am suppose to update on my latest travel adventure but due to some delays on photo editing, I'm forced to wait another day before my travel post is up. In the meantime, I came across this interesting argument.
Is it real or was he dreaming?
[Spin...spin...Spin?]
The tussle of arguments is actually between myself and Sdr. "Stormy" Reza which kinda sparked a massive debate between me and him. You see, both of us are convinced that we both hold solid ground over arguments which in this context, I'll let you be the judge of it.
My arguments are simple: that the scene itself is a dream, on the simple note that the top never dropped when spun. Look at the main focus of the whole movie that each "dream jumper" would have a thing that reminds them which would be the actual reality by having something that no other man/"architect" would be able to create. The very fact that any "good architect" would create the "location" in absolute perfection (ie a bad one would miss the texture of the carpet), somethings that they create would end up being to perfect. In the final scene's case, perfection spelled out that the top will forever spin because of its "perfect weight".
This might be the simple argument considering to the mystery that lies within the movie but I honestly believe that having an open end finale to his movie is NOT Christopher Nolan trademark.

[Do you see a Maze?]
Sdr. "Stormy" Reza's argument however insisted that the scene was real on the simple basis that the top wobbled during the scene. Due to the explanation given by Cobb that only the person would know the actual weight of the item carried, it can never be recreated by anyone else. In every dream sequence, the top will maintain in perfect form of motion and would not even make any other movement except for the circular motion it makes. To his argument, the very fact that in the end, the top moved "imperfectly" showed that the scene was real.
So, my challenge for you all is to come up with your opinions on this. The actual answer given might disagree with you.
