The sound in "Inception" is some of the best I have ever heard in a movie. It is so suspenseful and I feel as if I am there, it makes my heart pound. The sound at times gets so intense and sets the mood for the scene. The scene I chose is where Mal, Cobb’s wife is in the hotel room where they used to go for their anniversary where she later kills herself and in the dream Ariadne walks in. At the beginning when the train goes by it sets the tone for the scene to come that there is a major event to take place. This demonstrates proximity and similarity because later in the scene the sound gets intense and the pitch goes up much like it did when the train went by. Also going along with the Gestalt Principal is figure and ground. When Ariadne gets off the elevator the camera shows the full angle of the hotel room then we finally draw our eyes to Mal sitting on the couch and the sound drops. The sounds in this scene are casual for the most part because they are all the literal sounds; from the breaking glass to the train racing by. However, there is some referential sound because the music at the end is symbolic to the train racing by at the beginning of the scene.
