Inception<\/a><\/strong> has been one of the most talked about films of the summer, but something that caught my interest recently<\/a> was these two YouTube videos pointing out the similarities between Christopher Nolan’s film and the 2006 anime film Paprika<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The latter is the story<\/a> of a research psychologist who uses a device that allows therapists to enter patients’ dreams.<\/p>\n

Nolan himself has admitted the influence<\/a> of The Matrix, 2001, Heat and Blade Runner, but see if you can detect elements of Inception in this trailer for Paprika:<\/p>\n
