One of probably hundreds of small facets that make Inception great. I wonder what else there is to notice upon another viewing.
How About That of the Day: Hans Zimmer’s now-iconic Inception score? It’s just Édith Piaf’s “Non, je ne regrette rien” in slo-mo.
The A/V Club explains:
[I]n the movie, we learn that the further the heroes dive into a person’s subconscious–into a dream within a dream within a dream, and so on–the more slowed-down time becomes. So if composer Hans Zimmer is playing us a super-slowed-down version of “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien,” then the implication is that we’re still submerged deep within the dream, far from the kick that will wake us up.
Hans Zimmer just day-incepted my mind with explosives.
