The train in Yusuf's dream may serve as a sign that Cobb's projection of Mal is present, trying to influence the events so that Cobb will return to limbo.
The line is a reference to his role as Frank Abagnale Jr. During Yusuf's dream, Fischer gives Cobb's team the six-digit code "" to open the safe with his father's alternate will. Those numbers appear in passing several times after. When Fischer is speaking to a blonde woman, who is actually Eames in disguise, during Arthur's dream, she leaves a napkin with the six digits on it.
Also during the hotel dream, the team sleeps in room " Finally, Fischer uses the code "" to unlock his father's safe and access his father's will in Eames' dream. In a scene set in Mombasa, Kenya, Cobb weaves through the packed streets to escape a seemingly multiplying number of men chasing him.
During a Warner Bros. I felt kind of like a pinball because I was bouncing from Moroccan to Moroccan and falling into various vending machines," he said. DiCaprio added, "That was a little bit tough but at the end of the day, you'd be surprised. We pulled off a lot of stuff in a day's work that was pretty spectacular. Warner Bros. I felt it very important that I develop the script on my own. I had to finish it on the page, so at least there would be a specific and clear document in front of the studio of what this film was going to be," he told Deadline.
Nolan explained that he viewed "Inception" as a project he had to tackle on his own, or at least finish the first draft before involving others. The figure of Ariadne played an instrumental role in the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur, helping Theseus escape the labyrinth safely. In "Inception," Ariadne Page is an architecture student who designs dreams with layouts that give the dreamers a leg up from the projections.
Both women assumed the responsibility of getting the men around them to safety, using clever strategy and bravery to accomplish their missions. When Ariadne proves her ability to Cobb by drawing an unsolvable maze, she forms a circular formation on her third try, finally succeeding.
While the page is only shown for a moment, the design resembles King Minos' labyrinth used to withhold the Minotaur. Chris Corbould, the special effects supervisor, used air cannons to send objects flying through the air in the scene shot in Paris, he told MTV.
After the debris was floating, the team used cameras that catch 1, frames each second for the full effect. Corbould explained that the team used computer graphics to extend the time the objects floated and dramatize the effect. And while they took the time to build a massive set, there was no guarantee that it would snow. It could have gone either way. It was eight months of biting our nails hoping we'd get some snow," he said. The crew was prepared to make their own snow, which Pfister said wouldn't have achieved the same effect.
When Saito asks about inception, Arthur argues that it's impossible by citing a real-life example. The line is a reference to George Lakoff's book titled " Don't Think of an Elephant ," which examines the way politicians frame key campaign issues to create a certain connotation in voters' minds. The book's title comes from a study conducted by Lakoff, a linguistics professor, asking his students not to think of an elephant.
Though he tries to steer the students' thoughts away from the animals, they're already in the frame and therefore in the students' minds. When Cobb returns home to see his children, he finds Phillipa and James playing outside with their backs toward him. Viewers see a nearly identical shot in the opening scene, during which the children build a sandcastle on the beach. Though Nolan brushed off the line as an improvisation by the child actor , the mention of a "house on a cliff" does relate to Saito's palace, which sat atop a cliff overlooking the ocean in limbo.
The ending of "Inception" is contested, as viewers never see whether or not Cobb's totem falls down to confirm that he's returned to reality. However, James' line draws a distinct parallel back to Cobb's time in limbo. It's also possible that Johnathan Geare, who portrayed James at the end of the movie, unknowingly played into the audience's lingering question, setting up the perfect open ending.

Claudia Willen. Christopher Nolan's mind-bending science fiction film "Inception" premiered 11 years ago. Many audiences were perplexed by the film's abstract concepts and multi-leveled time warps.
Insider rounded up 30 details that you may have missed in "Inception. Christopher Nolan thought of the idea behind "Inception" when he was 16, and the script took him 10 years to write.
The movie barely used any CGI. They considered making "Inception" 3D but decided against it. Hans Zimmer created the film's score by manipulating one beat from Piaf's song.

I think a lot of people get caught in that and miss that, if you just sit back and watch, it's a very simple film. It's actually a very neat trick. One of my favorites in recent cinema history.

I think because it's a movie about dreams and yet very logical and straight forward and well undream-like a lot of people try to read more into than is readily obvious.
So you get a lot of whacky theories about what's 'really' happening and people seem disinclinded to accept that the movie's simple answers are actually the right ones. Short attentions spans? I dunno. It made perfect sense to me. The only moment I was a bit confused was trying to figure out whose dream they were all in at any particular moment.
Regardless, it's an awesome film. Right up there with Dark City for me. If you like the film or perhaps you need something to help you follow it along check this out. Absolutely amazing: Link.
