Everybody remember the movie right? OK but there is a movie which had been released several years before that one,having the EXACT same theme as Inception. Basically it is the same movie. Anybody remember the name of that one?

The most striking part was the main character was asked to drive to the edge of the town despite all the obstacles to see what is reality * +

Inception pretty much blew everybody away back in 2010, most of whom had wandered into the theatre purely to check what all those braaaahm horn sounds were about. And Inceptions massive success mainly came down to the fact that its one hell of an action movie, was directed with visual mastery by The Dark Knights Christopher Nolan, and that most people left the theatre nodding in agreement at its brilliant intelligence.

Whether or not you think that Inception is either genuinely complex or needlessly complicated, we can all probably agree that the idea, at least set around professional dream stealers is an original one. Except, no, its not, cause it was the basis for the idea of a (brace yourself) Donald Duck cartoon published back in 2002. Seriously.

Though Christopher Nolan will likely never admit that he ever read The Dream of a Lifetime a decade-old Donald Dark yarn written and drawn by a man named Don Rosa (who would?) the 25-page comic strip does share some seriously bizarre comparisons with Inception, in the sense that, um, they share nearly everything with regards to their plots. * +

Yes: both Inception and The Dream of a Lifetime involve characters infiltrating the dreams of others in an attempt to steal a combination. In Inception, its Leonardo DiCaprio and his motley crew of thieves on a paid mission. In Lifetime, its a bunch of thieves navigating Scrooge McDucks dreams for the same purpose to gain his combination, though Donald Duck takes the DiCaprio role, and jumps between dream layers to save his uncles fortune.

Thats not all: Both stories cling to the idea of totems, and that kicks (falling when sleeping) can be used to wake people up on cue. The characters in the Donald Duck comic, too, can imagine items like better guns (like in Inception), and theres even a part in the relatively short comic that mirrors the relationship between Leonardo DiCaprios haunted obsession with his wife, Mal. Theres even mention that, should Scrooge wake up before Donald gets out, hell be trapped forever in a kind of limbo, resulting in certain craziness (uh-huh, like in Inception). * +

all in all, we need to thank Don Rosa for Inception, who dreamt up one of the coolest blockbuster ideas ever and wasted it on a Disney comic that nobody read. * +
