The one thing that usually comes to the mind when someone mentions Inception is a spinning top, which sends the viewers into a frenzy wondering whether the lead character, Dom Cobb, is still dreaming or not. Although 80 % of the people watching this movie assumed that the spinning effect of the top is created through CGI, it is actually achieved through really practical effects. The top was made to spin on a really existing surface, and it was done in one take. Nolan's belief in the use of practical effects, even in scenes that otherwise seem digitally manipulated, added much credibility to the film and indeed serious in its very atmosphere.
