More than ten years ago, a mainland director said that if he was given hundreds of millions of dollars, he could rebuild a ship like the Titanic. After more than ten years, there have been no stealers in the mainland, but Emmerich and his like rushed to build a few large ships before 2012, successfully taking advantage of folk topics.Just last year, in the face of Cameron's breakthrough in 3D technology, some mainland directors said that they don't need to make movies. They are flying in the sky, and we are crawling on the ground, and so on.However, after Cameron, is there really nothing to talk about in Hollywood?Is there no hope for people who are engaged in directing career?Obviously not.Maybe the current Nolan is not a gold-lettered signboard that is popular in the world, and he has to face long-standing problems such as limited audiences, but in the not-too-distant future, he can definitely ascend to the throne of the king of the times.

The planet Pandora is far away in another time and space, it is fictional and cannot be touched.Different from Cameron's giant production, the screenwriting concept of "Inception" is very simple: dreams, dreams within dreams, crime types with dreams as the entrance, unfolding in sequence, and deepening layer by layer.Nolan made up his own world view and constructed an infinite space, which can just hide in everyone's consciousness, and is not nothingness.Some people dream a lot, some people have few dreams, and some people have no idea what kind of dreams they have had, and they don’t even know when they wake up. People’s physiological structure determines that there must be dreams, and they are rich and colorful.Due to its unknowability, it also has a mysterious color, and "Inception" plays a role of discussion.

"Inception" is a movie that connects the tradition and leads to the past. Our main creator consciously restricted the application of some special effects to prevent the audience's attention from being distracted and consumed.The folded city of Paris is shocking enough, but what is shocking is not the technology itself that coincides with heaven and earth.Rather, a similar scene will appear in a person's dream.If a dream is regarded as a kind of imagination, then it is endless and can last forever.The weightless sparring is novel and ingenious. This whole section is completely shot on set, like elegant dance steps. Don't you know that the actors have been tortured so hard.Today, Hollywood blockbusters rely more and more on special effects.Natural disasters are constantly being produced, making people feel tired and hopeless.Nolan once again defined false and true, dreams can be false, and movies can be true.Movies are a false form, but human dreams are real.These are two converging terms and concepts, which are combined and expressed in the movie, and are constantly confused.Most of the time, what you see is a dream, which is also a movie.so.You can only follow Nolan's explanation, and the pace of progress is completely under his control.

"Inception" is not that incomprehensible, at least not as incomprehensible as some people explain and analyze in a thousand-word long essay.Through the mouths of the characters in the play, Nolan's dream setting is completely told, such as how to be "kicked out" of the dream, how to synchronize with music, and multiply the time of each layer by 12 times. These are the words of the director and the main creator. The final decision.Latecomers can only analyze along the same path, and the hypotheses of a bunch of people just stand on top of the hypotheses of one person.But everyone believes it is true, like an apologist in theological research.What's even more frustrating is that Nolan also intentionally left things unclear, like the spinning top, which was completely reserved for discussion and interaction with the audience.If you take a long view, jump out and see.The information symbol represented by the totem is not up to Nolan himself. Who said that the totem must be used in dreams to judge where he is, Einstein or Hawking?Obviously not.That is to say, those major religions have thousands of believers, coexisting and confronting science.Man himself is a contradiction.The so-called true and false can be accepted and tolerated at the same time.

Dreams are often absurd, but dreams are real.In such a play, Jia Hongjian always keeps a distance from the mainstream while maintaining his personal characteristics, and regards dreams as the direction and motivation for progress.After all, regardless of reference works, etc., the source of inspiration for "Inception" is just Jia Hongjian's own dream, and most people will ignore it.Although he started with a blockbuster strategy of holding high and playing high, his initial stage is also a very unique personal project.Although the whole play maintains Nolan's characteristics, it is also full of Jia Hongjian's strong personal realism characteristics. By then, it will definitely be as dazzling as gold in a river beach in a bunch of Hollywood blockbusters!

Although people have too many things in the real world that have not been busy, or because people have too many things in reality that they can't be busy with, the exploration of expansion based on the real world has never stopped .Or it is a physical extension, such as digging three feet into the earth's inner world to explore, traveling thousands of meters into the sea to swim in the blue abyss, rushing into space, and looking for new continents is even easier.At the same time, more imaginative, but also logical and scientific explorations are still in the mind. Therefore, various ideas such as parallel worlds, cyberpunk, alien test sites, near-death experiences, and dreams emerge in endlessly.Different from actively exploring physical boundaries, it is an extension based on reality and an exploration full of fulfillment.The exploration of the mind is more full of skepticism and inner criticism, and it is a question of the existence of human beings, so it is often more shocking.

This time we have constructed a dream world, and there are intricate and intertwined relationships between dreams, there are progressive layers within layers, and there are also parallel cross-overs.In the film, Cobb is introducing the common sense of dreams and the human subconscious to Ariadne, and it is easy for the audience to have a sense of resonance and substitution.Indeed, we are often in an intermediate state of remembering dreams, not knowing the beginning and end, and not knowing where the scenes in the dream come from.Similarly, in dreams, we do not have independent thinking and consciousness, and we can often construct a weird world and stories with our subconscious mind, until we wake up, we either recollect or try our best to remember what happened in the dream.

This is why we show his world view in the film so well. He didn't suddenly throw out a concept of world view that is troublesome, but guided the audience into his world. When Ni explained the dream world, she was also telling the audience about this concept. This is also a common method used by mainstream Hollywood commercial films. This is also an important reason why "Inception", which is not a mainstream commercial structure in terms of structure, became popular.actually.From the interpretation of dreams, the nesting of dreams and the questioning of existence, David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" has more of that feeling and reveals more profoundly. However, Lynch's extremely personalized "communication with the audience" Competitive" manner of expression.It is doomed that this can only be a niche work.And Nolan's personalized conception and popular guidance made his ideas easier to popularize.

Questioning the sense of existence is always the deepest shock that this type of film brings to the audience. "The Sixth Sense" used the final reversal to highlight the near-death experience in front of the audience, making the audience uncertain whether they are still alive; "Empire" used to switch between the two worlds so that the audience could not be sure whether they were in a conscious world constructed by machines; While constructing the lives of "others" in the computer in this way, whether your own life is actually being constructed by others; "UFO Invasion" once made the audience wonder whether they are actually living in a testing ground that is being monitored by aliens.It doesn't even look like science fiction, but in fact it is even more chilling and absurd. "The Truman Show" can deeply shock people, whether I am the Truman who is being manipulated.The passer-by is just a prop to match me?When I watched "Inception", I also thought of a lot of familiar places. It can be said that the subversion of this sense of existence is shown again in the form of a dream. For audiences familiar with this type of film, this is very kind. But there will still be different feelings.For viewers unfamiliar with the format, as stated earlier.Cobb's explanation is also easy for people to understand this novel worldview.

Cobb and Mel's love is intertwined with deep love and regret throughout the film.The two have always shown a deep love, a love that is difficult to part with, a love that will love even if they die.So, for this love, they went to dream to build a world where they can grow old together, and they can control it at will.Create your own world of well-being.Unlike a person who suddenly finds himself in a dream, or in a world built by a computer, they are dream makers, and they are creating their own sense of existence, a romantic sense of existence.at the same time.Cobb’s boredom of this can be seen as a warning against technology against nature. The in-depth study of dreams allows them to have a god-like feeling in dreams. However, they can create cities and passers-by, but what they create is just an illusory existence feel.The sense of self-existence needs to first feel the things and people outside of yourself. When you clearly know that these are just illusions created by yourself, it is obvious that this romantic sense of existence will disappear, and then come A lot of loneliness and loss will arise.Cobb's act of saving his wife eventually brought about a tragedy that could not be undone. This deplorable story created a strong emotional impact. For me, after the film is over, it is this love that is memorable. In love, Perhaps what we need is a sense of each other's existence bit by bit. We really live in the world, hold hands and kiss lips, which is far more important than the grand romance deliberately created.

The deepening of the dream creates the effect of multi-layered dreams, which is where Nolan’s storytelling ability is most tested. Earlier, he asked Cobb to explain the basic principles of his worldview, and here he is going to use these basic principles to arrange and combine Out of the grand dream structure in his heart.This process is not so much an application of scientific principles, but rather a combination of logical principles, mainly the application of effects such as recursion, progression, and exponential effects. The van fell into the water from the bridge on the first floor of the dream. , the whole process shows that the exponential growth of time in the recursive dream is intuitive and ingenious. I watched the van fall slowly like a snail, and at the same time there was a fierce gun battle on the snow on the other side. This rhythm arrangement and feeling are great. up.
