The Tao of Inception

1. The first example of the Tao in inception is how everybody is absent minded. They concentrate on pursuing the money, so they don't notice the damage that the dreams are causing them. But there´s this girl called Ariadne she doesn't care about money, so she is present in the moment. She pays attention to every detail and is the only character that cares about Cobb´s past. Just like the Tao says a person that is not absent minded is present in the moment. This is one of the ways that the Tao criticizes Confucianism, he says all Confucius followers are absent minded.

2. The next is the Tao of Shawshank Redemption. Andy arrives to Shawshank like all the other inmates hes sad, and wants to go out but only because he has a taste of freedom. But many of the old inmates like Brooks don't want to go out of jail because they forgot what freedom was. They don't have the base to the argument. And that´s what the Ying-Yang says, that to know good you need to know bad.

3. The last example is the Tao of The Prestige. In the prestige there is this magician that wants to create a teleporting machine, so he goes to Tesla and Tesla tells him some things are beyond our understanding. But Mr. Anger doesn't understand this because he is absent minded. Tesla believes in Tao ideas that nature is beyond human understanding.
