Origin in cinema

In the cinematographic field we can highlight the existence of a film titled Inception, which was released in 2010. Christopher Nolan is the director of said production, starring the successful actor Leonardo DiCaprio, which revolves around the figure of A unique character played by him is a person who has the ability to take over people's secrets during sleep.

This unique ability has made this figure become a true fugitive that different characters try to hunt down, which means that he can never enjoy a normal life. Therefore, in order to change this circumstance, make the decision to change the capacity you have. Specifically, he chooses, instead of appropriating other people's dreams, to implant certain ideas in those people.

However, this vital change that he is trying to achieve will not be easy because someone, who always anticipates his movements, seems to try at all costs to prevent him from fulfilling the new goals he has set for himself.
