Hollywood legendary director

A luxurious cinema near Grand Central Station, New York.

In the theater No. 2 on an ordinary screen, full of audiences sat.

After "Avatar", a blockbuster film will be transcribed part of the 3D copy today, "Inception" does the opposite, and does not occupy the IMAX theater. The reason is that CG shots are not the mainstream of the film. mirror.

Soon, the lights dim and the screen comes on.

...

"Leo!"

As soon as the film opened, there was a commotion in the audience.

The screams of a few female fans bored some audiences who just wanted to enjoy a movie.

On the screen.

Xiao Lizi wore a gray jacket and fell on the beach in a daze. Then the picture stretched forward. The man was in a trance as if he saw a pair of children playing on the beach. Turning his head, the man passed out.

The camera turned to the rear, and a guard armed with a gun came and took the fainted man to a Japanese-style house not far away.

After the man was put in, an old man with a pleated face sat in the seat.

The old man was very puzzled and asked if the man had come to kill him. He also said that he knew a man many years ago and he carried a spinning top with him.

The man looked at the old man, the camera turned suddenly, and it was still in this Japanese-style room, but both of them changed their attire. The old man became middle-aged and sat on the seat, while Leo was sitting across from his friend with his big back. Talking to middle-aged people, like an investment bank manager coming to sell business.

"Wow!"

Such a short period of seamless transition of scenes shocked the audience for a while, inexplicably thought it was very high-end, but still did not know what Nolan wanted to express.

It's just that the two people's identities have evolved from a tight confrontation to a business touting party A and B. The gap is so large, but there is no sense of disobedience, which is really amazing.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Cobb, and I am a senior dream master." Leo, who is Cobb, has a smile on his face and his tone is confident.

The other protagonist of the incident, that is, the middle-aged man who cuts the steak and enjoys the food and listens to Cobb's speech, is the head of the world's second largest energy company and a Japanese super-rich.

Cobb and his friends are still showing off their technology, selling the "dream preservation" insurance plan to the rich man Saito, and threatening that there must be someone like me in this world who will come to your dreams to steal secrets, if you Hiring me, I can guarantee peace of mind in this regard, but the prerequisite is that you have to trust me 100%.

As Cobb was talking, he was a little excited. He got up from his position and swaggered closer to Saito. "Listen, if you hire me for help, you have to show no reservations about me. I am better than your wife and your consultant. , All those close to you must understand your thoughts better. For example, this is a dream, and there is a secret safe in the dream. I must know what is in the safe. This is frankness."

But perhaps because he has too much wealth, Saito saw a lot of people who wanted to get money from him. He wiped his mouth with a napkin, completely ignorant, said something to see off the guests, and turned around to attend the banquet. , The Japanese do not believe in dream theory at all.

Upon seeing this scene, Cobb's companion Arthur sighed and said that we were exposed.

Just when Arthur's words seemed to prove that the two were liars, the ground shook for a while. Cobb looked at the time of his watch, the camera turned again, and the scene turned into a small apartment.

There were still the same three people, except that the wealthy Saito, who was just inviolable and escorted by security personnel, was pushed to the ground by Cobb and Arthur.

A riot broke out outside the window, but Kebu inside the house showed his cards to Saito. He said that he was commissioned by his rival to steal the secret of his dream.

It's just that when Cobb said this, the lens corresponded to a speeding train. Cobb, Arthur and others were all asleep in their seats. A little boy looked at the time and put the headphones on Arthur's head. The singing of French singer Piaf sounded simultaneously.

Unbelievably, the three people in the apartment also heard this song, and Arthur was a little anxious when he heard it. He walked out the window and found that the rioting crowd was coming in their direction.

It's really too late!

Arthurby made a gesture, and Cobb took a look-too soft to be hard, and threw Saito to the ground, yelling, "Tell me what you know!"

"Hahahaha..." Saito seemed like a lunatic, still laughing after being beaten.

The more violent Cobb was, the more unscrupulous Saito's cheerful laughter.

He is a rich man. Isn't he afraid that the enemy will get him?

Money is more important than fate?

The audience was puzzled, Saito Yume murmured, "You know, I have always hated this carpet. It faded and worn out, but it was a woolen blanket, but now, I was touching a polyester blanket. ......"

Arthur frowned.

"In other words, I am not lying on the floor of my own apartment, Mr. Cobb, I am still in a dream."

call!

On the train, several people including Cobb and Arthur were all awakened and the operation failed.

It was not until this time that the audience discovered what the so-called "Inception" means.

The film critic Joey sitting in the audience is like that. After fully reminiscing the seamless transition of these scenes, he deeply feels Nolan's ingenious structure-one layer of dreams, one after another to win the trust, multiple sets When the baby comes down, no matter how the scene is divided, the purpose is only to deepen Saito's perception of what happened in "reality" as reality.

Perhaps it is precisely because it is difficult to make people believe that the content of the dream is really difficult, Kobb will first peddle the so-called dream condom to obtain commercial information, was ridiculed by Saito, and then said that he was employed by his competitor. , "Reasonable" kidnapped Saito and changed a routine to force trade secrets. If it weren't for the flaws in the final details, Saito would have realized that this was a fake. Under the threat of life, it might be true.

Such a strong sense of drama can only be said to be Nolan, and even editing and camera re-cutting have created traps everywhere.

However, Joey's appreciation is only because he has a strong association knowledge and can understand, but these few dolls dreams have made the audience noisy.

"What's this doing? I was in the apartment just now, and now I am on the train?"

"What dreams, dreams, not even an explanation."

"I'm dizzy, what do you want to express at the beginning?"

"Don't call if you don't understand."

"WTF? I just watch a movie. I have to analyze the plot by myself? Isn't this the director's job?"-To be honest, the main reason for the failure of "Creed" is that it sets a higher threshold for viewing movies than "Inception" .

The theater was a little noisy, and in a blink of an eye, a few impatients had already left. This film is just like "Shards of Memory". It is a bit unfriendly to audiences who just want to entertain. This can be regarded as a kind of Nolan label.

Still the same sentence, grasp a certain degree, the general public has never liked the high and low music, but it must be completely popular...
