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. The film was shot in six countries. Joseph Gordon-Levitt said the scene in the hallway was both the most fun and the most painful experience he's ever had on a set.
Nolan's son Magnus played James, Cobb's son. His lips and teeth are pressing insistently against her mouth, and she can hear his ragged breath as he digs his fingers into her hair. At first, Ariadne is bewildered; then she thinks, Oh, okay , and pulls him closer by the collar to kiss him back, just as wild. Her lips battle with his, bruising, clashing.
When his tongue scrapes past her teeth into her mouth, she moans quietly, gripping the back of his neck. And then Arthur pulls away. Slowly, he untangles his fingers from her hair, disengaging their bodies. But Ariadne can see by the streetlamp nearby that his lips are damp, and something about his expression lacks its usual control.
Arthur looks at her, and she can see the way his eyes travel down the planes of her face, reading her expression. Then, she shakes her head as though to make her thoughts disappear. Of course. She looks at it for a moment, then up at him. Her voice sounds strained and unnatural to her ears. But the ghosts of his hands linger like a bruise, pulsing in her blood. But she regains her bearings just as quickly. The ballroom is in the center, but I was wondering She stills, waiting.
Smoothly, Arthur withdraws. Ariadne stands there for several minutes, staring blankly at her design, thinking, What the hell was that? But hours pass by and Arthur never offers an explanation. By the end of the day, Ariadne can still feel the spot of heat on the nape of her neck, surrounded by cold air. Ten minutes into the dream, something happens. The music playing in the grand ballroom Ariadne designed suddenly stops. The projections immediately turn and stare at her as she descends the staircase.
While attending school in Paris, Ariadne is approached by Dom Cobb for a job offer, after being recommended to him by Miles , her professor and Dom's father-in-law. Initially, Dom refuses to tell Ariadne what the job entails, explaining that it would not be entirely legal and that therefore he needs to test her abilities to ensure that she is capable of performing the task.
He asks Ariadne to design a maze that takes two minutes to draw and one minute to solve. Her first two attempts fail, but the third impresses Dom, and he decides to hire her. Dom states that when a person dreams, they can never remember the beginning of the dream. Unable to remember, Ariadne realizes that they are in fact sharing a dream. Things in the dream begin to explode, perhaps because of Ariadne's panic at realizing she is in a dream, and she is killed by falling debris.
The two wake back up in the workshop. He explains that five minutes in reality equals an hour in the dreams, as brain activity increases rapidly when dreaming. Dom and Ariadne re-enter the dreams, where Dom teaches her the basics of shared dreaming ie. After completing some basic dream-manipulation, Ariadne is killed in-dream by Dom's subconscious projection of his late wife, Mal , and wakes up back at the workshop, leaving immediately after commenting on Mal's existence in Dom's subconscious, although later she returns, saying that the concept of dream manipulation was 'pure creation'.
Arthur then guides Ariadne through the rest of her introduction to dreams, such as teaching her to incorporate architectural paradoxes into the layout of dreams. Arthur also encourages her to make her own Totem, an object in the real world that appears in the dreams, and used to determine whether or not the user is dreaming.
She chooses a bishop chess piece, and hollows it out partially to create a specific imbalance that only she knows. Note - As Cobb tells the story, the audience and Ariadne both imagine Cobb and Mal as they are young-the only way we know them, because it is from our and Ariadne's point of view.
When Cobb reminds Mal that they did grow old together, and we see them as they really were in his memory, walking together as older people, finally we see their aged hands clasped together, shaking as they lie on the tracks.
It is then we realize how that final scene really was in Cobb's memory, and we understand the full life that they have shared. Once Dom finishes assembling his team for the job, the planning stage begins. The idea is that Robert Fischer should break up his father's company upon the death of the latter, but as Inception is extremely difficult to successfully achieve, multiple layers of dreaming are required. Ariadne is tasked by Dom with being the team Architect: the designer of each dream layer, and the one who creates the maze-like dream layout the purpose of which is to increase the team's chances of successfully evading the Subject 's projections.
Ariadne, well aware of the threat that Dom's projection of Mal poses to the team, realizes why Dom refuses to design the dreams himself: the more he knows about the layout of the dream, the higher the possibility of Mal appearing and interfering with the mission. Witnessing Dom dreaming by himself at the workshop, Ariadne, curious about what Dom dreams about and wanting to discover the reason behind the existence of the Mal projection, joins his dream.
She discovers that within Dom's dreams, he relives memories from when Mal was still alive, and Dom's intense feelings of guilt for her death is the reason that the Mal projection appears.
Ariadne insists to Dom that either he should tell Arthur about the danger the Mal projection poses to the mission, or that she should accompany them into the dreams to protect the team from Cobb's subconscious projections of Mal. Reluctant to let the others know the extent of his problem, Dom tells Saito to get another seat on the plane for them.
In the real world, the mission takes place on the plane. As planned in the Paris workshop, Ariadne was to play a small part in the actual mission, as she was not initially meant to be joining the team in the dreams. In Level 1 of the heist on Robert Fischer's mind, Ariadne was with Dom in a car separate from the one that Robert was to be abducted in. The plan goes smoothly until a freight train smashes through the streets of the city-like dream the barreling freight train is a manifestation of Cobb's projection of Mal.
The team is then attacked by Fischer's projections, who had been militarized as a result of anti-Extraction training he had undertaken a detail that didn't show up in Arthur's background check on Fischer that he was responsible for. Saito receives a gunshot wound in the team's attempt to escape from the projections.
