7 Recently Confirmed Truths You Didn't Know About Famous Movies

2. Every Scene In Inception Featuring Michael Caine Is Reality

Christopher Nolan's Inception is without a doubt one of the most fiercely debated films of the last decade, with fans agonising over which parts of the movie are reality and which, in fact, are a dream.

While Nolan has flatly refused to lend any on-the-record insight, star Michael Caine recently told fans that Nolan did privately give him a heads-up. "When I got the script of Inception, I was a bit puzzled by it, and I said to him, 'I don't understand where the dream is'. I said, 'When is it the dream and when is it reality?' He said, 'Well, when you're in the scene it's reality.' So get that - if I'm in it, it's reality. If I'm not in it, it's a dream."

Considering that this isn't merely Caine's own conjecture but effectively the Word of God itself, fans can pretty much take this as gospel. It probably won't stop all the passionate debate, though.
