Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Inception used Edith Piaf’s song “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” as the “kick” for Cobb and his team during their missions of infiltrating dreams, and it does have a deeper meaning in the story than it seems. The movies of Christopher Nolan have various themes in common, mostly time and identity, and in 2010, he added another layer of complexity to these with the theme of dreams in Inception.

Edith Piaf's “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” Hints At Cobb’s Biggest Problem In Inception The Song’s Lyrics Link To Cobb’s Story In Inception At the beginning of Inception, Cobb, Arthur , and their first architect Nash were infiltrating Saito’s dreams when Mal showed up. Mal only appeared in Cobb’s dreams and those he infiltrated as she was part of his subconscious, but she never appeared in the real world as she died before the events of the movie.

The song is a direct contrast to Cobb’s personal situation in Inception , as he had to do what the song says but that was his biggest struggle until the end. To achieve their goal of extracting and implanting information into someone’s dreams/subconscious mind, Cobb and his team designed multi-level dreams, with the one made to perform “inception” on Robert Fischer’s mind being the most complex in their careers. To safely wake up from each level, the team needed a “kick”, a method that required a sensation of falling, hitting water, or a sharp jolt to startle the sleeper awake.

Why “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” Almost Didn’t Make It To Inception Christopher Nolan Almost Got Rid Of One Of Inception’s Most Memorable Elements “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” became one of the most memorable and identifiable elements of Inception, but it almost didn’t make it to the movie. According to Inception music composer, Hans Zimmer , Piaf’s song was included in the script, but Nolan almost cut it from the movie when Marion Cotillard was cast in 2007’s La Vie en Rose.
