The man behind one the most confusing series on television has attempted to solve one of the most confounding films ever made.
Damon Lindelof, co-creator and executive producer of the late epic series "Lost," took to Twitter Monday to try and explain the open-ended conclusion to "Inception."
The producer had previously commented that he wished Christopher Nolan's psychological dreamscape had been his own brain child.
"I wish that someone would break into my dreams and give me an idea HALF as good as INCEPTION," he tweeted on Saturday.
The film, which premiered last week, has divided critics over its refusal to clearly divide dreams and reality, down to the last moment.
"Inception" stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Dom Cobb, a man who steals dreams for corporate espionage and is given the job of implanting an idea for the first time ever.
At the end of his travels through various dream/real states, Dom has chosen a spinning top - a "totem" - to represent his connection to reality.
The character has been told that if the top keeps spinning, the dream world is still in effect. But if it stops, he's living in reality.
Nolan stops short of telling the audience what exactly happens to that top, but Lindelof has an idea.
"There is a THIRD possibility -- It neither stopped...nor kept spinning," he tweeted. "The story ended before either could happen."
