In the comic book, Beagle Boys go into Uncle Scrooge's dream using a device. From Scrooge's mind, they try to steal the password of the case where he hides his treasures. Donald Duck, who gets involved in the dream, saves him from this robbery.

13. The idea of, "waking up in the sky in a higher level when you jump from a skyscraper and die'' could be an inspiration.

15. The scene where Arthur tries to convince Saito by saying, "Don't think of the elephants" is a reference to George Lakoff's famous conceptual semantics book, "Don't think of an elephant."

In this scene, Saito said he thought it was not possible to place an idea; Arthur said, 'What would you think if I tell you not to think of elephants?' In answer to the question, he said ''elephants.' So he was putting ideas into Saito's mind.

The book, that which was referenced to, tells how to use words to place an idea in a secret form in someone's mind.

18. The meanings of the names of some of the main characters is also shocking.

www.hdfilmizlemeli.net

Dom Cobb's intention since the very beginning is to go home. Dom means 'house' in Slavic languages. It is derived from the Latin 'domus.' Cobb phonetically means 'dream' in languages such as Urdu, Sanskrit, and Hindi.

Joseph is a character who produces medicines to fall into dreams. In the holy books, prophet Joseph is a name with the ability to interpret dreams; It is obvious that this is a reference to him.

Mal is an abbreviation of Malorie. It comes from 'malheur' in French which means 'unhappiness.' 'Mal' also means 'evil / evil' in French. Let's also remember that Marion Cotillard, who portrays the character, is French.

19. The labyrinth that Ariadne drew as he entered work was the maze of King Minos. In Greek mythology, Ariadne is the daughter of Minos, King of Crete.

onedio.com

Ariadne helps the lover Theseus to overcome the Minotaur (half human-half bull creature) and give him a red rope so he can find his way out of the labyrinth.

This myth was the basis of Richard Strauss's and Hugo von Hofmannsthal's opera Ariadne auf Naxos where there was a play within a play. This inspired Inception, which is about the dream within a dream. Ariadne also helps Cobb out of the labyrinth.

20. The ending of the film wasn't certain; Was Cobb in a dream or in reality?

The majority of people think he's not in a dream in the scene where he sees his children.

It is also said that the turning totem is not Cobb's but it is his wife's Mal's. There is also a group that says that Cobb's totem is a "ring."

Because he's wearing the ring when he's in a dream and he's not when he's awake.

Another majority believes that everything is Saito's dream.

21. You remember that they listened to Édith Piaf to fall asleep in the movie.

Now stand tight, the film's music is actually the slowed down version of Piaf's song, "Non, je ne Regrette Rien." Let's listen. 👇

Do you think Cobb was in a dream at the end of the movie or in reality?
