Inception (2010) + Paprika (2006)
I actually thought people were joking when they said “inception: the anime”. Sure got me fooled, guys.
Wow… I’m actually going to check this out now. If it was Inception before Inception I would be both surprised and a little saddened.
Paprika actually influenced Christopher Nolan to write Inception : ) He said in an interview that it inspired him to make a movie similar to the dream concept of Paprika. Really brilliant movie, beautiful art, and one of the best soundtracks ever ♥
Oh thank God it was actually acknowledged as an influence. xD I’M COOL THEN. I was afraid for a minute there that it was one of those all-too-plentiful things where Hollywood steals an idea from some smaller production and never credits it for the inspiration. With your recommendation too, I’ll definitely be seeing it sometime soon! :)
