OT - One of the best scenes from Inception

[Winged_Wheel88]

What Edith Piaf connection? I love her.

In the movie when the characters are dreaming, the only way to communicate to them how much time they have left before they wake up is to place headphones on them and play music. They then hear the music in their dreams and know how much time they have left to accomplish whatever task it is they need to get done in the dreams before they awake.

Of all the music that could have been chosen, Edith Piaf's "Non, je ne regrette rien" was picked to be the cue song. It seems like it could have special significance as one of the actresses in the movie, Marion Cotillard, actually played Edith Pief 3 years earlier in the film, "La Vie en rose."

Hans Zimmer, the guy who wrote the musical score for Inception, took "Non, je ne regrette rien", slowed it waaay down, and used that as a base for the rest of the music in the movie. Very neat.

I love that song! It's kind of my anthem!

Maybe I will have to see this movie.

It's worth a view for the music alone. Warning: it will be a very confusing movie to watch. You'll need at least 3 viewings.

Here are some clips to get your interest up even more:

The scene where he teaches Ariadne how to construct dreams is one of my absolute favorites in the movie.

Might be the best movie of the 21st century so far. Good God is it complicated though.

I LOL @ those who thought it was hard to follow.

That's because you are a smart, tough-nosed Flyers fan.
