- Memento Mori
The famous movie “Memento” is actually inspired from another short film that was created by Christopher’s brother. The short film depicts the story of a man named Earl who suffers from backward amnesia. The only memories the guy has is of the events that happened prior to the incident.
- The Inception’s Score
There were a number of amazing things about the movie “Inception”. In fact, one of the best things about it was the movie’s score that was created by Hans Zimmer. For those who do not know, the score had been extracted from a song that was composed by Charles Dumont. Hans himself acknowledged the fact that he had asked for the help of a French scientist for extracting one major note from the song. The note was then subject to a number of changes and randomization’s in order to create the score of the movie.
- Character Names

- Interstellar
