Inception Music Comparison

This occurred to me when I came home after seeing the movie, and was listening to Hans ZImmer's score. I'm not saying the cues we hear in the movie are slowed down. Zimmer appears to be using Piaf's song as a foundation for extrapolation. This phenomenon may be obvious to a lot of you out there, but this video serves as a way for people to hear them side by side and to visualize and understand what Zimmer is doing with the score.

I think the score is terrific.

It's because they use the Piaf song to warn about the kick. While they're dreaming, their minds work really faster, so they percieve the song in slow motion. :)

How people have time to make suck videos

Interesting fact from a Google talk episode: The song is 2:28 long, the movie is 2 hours 28 minutes long, in the movie dreams are slowed. In this video you slowed the song to match the movies theme. The entire movie sound track is based off this song, whether its different parts of the song or snippets looped. So the movie is a dream? And as the song finishes it CUTS to black. Great Movie and philosophy.

Hans Zimmer the GOAT

[Babi Nalbo]

What you have observed is easily noticeable I thought, the deeper you go the slower time passes and thus the song is heard slower..
