The ending makes you think, that's why it's good.
Do you think the movie should have been better if the titanic guy got home, met his family and THE END? Slutet gott, allting gott.
Not really, that would've been a worse ending but what confuses me is WHEN did he get into a dream? Was it when he didn't have time to spin the thing? Or was it when they were inside Fischer?
That's the whole point of the mindfuck. You don't know. You just have to figure it out by yourself.
Kubrick's movies often (always) ends this way. They don't explain anything in the end. The story leaves you out in the cold. Sometimes it good, other times it's just confusing.
A good example of this is Kubrick's movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. Kubrick left the explanation for yourself to solve. I mean who knows if there's an alien race out there in the galaxy. If Kubrick tried to explain it
(if there is/isn't), then a lot of people would disagree with him. So he came up with a solution, why not give the explanation part to the audience.
And then came the movie 2010, which tried to explain everything.
P.S Everyone hated it.
