Six exciting puzzles in Inception

Did Cobb finally wake up from the movie jigsaw puzzle 1? Perhaps Inception's biggest puzzle is the ending. When the credits appeared, there was an uproar in the cinema: "Ah? That's it? " "Is Cobb awake or not?" "The gyro hasn't stopped, which means it's still in the dream ..." After two and a half hours of intense exploration, most of the questions have not been solved. Even in retrospect, it may be just like watching Professor Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi Sword. You can't remember what happened in the first two and a half hours in three minutes. The sooner you forget, the easier it is to reach the realm. Some film critics said, "Inception is actually a movie more suitable for watching DVD, because if you don't need to stop and play it back, you may only watch it for the first time." . Whether Cobb can finally cross back to reality, Nolan did not give an answer, but secretly made a mistake, leaving a "gyro problem" that is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Some people speculate that this is Nolan's clue to the sequel, but most viewers think that Nolan's consistent style and the difficulty base of the film should not be considered for the time being. In the final conclusion, we should adopt an old saying of China: "Different people have different opinions.". If you think that if the film is extended a little longer, the gyro will stop, then Cobb will be resurrected; And if you think that the gyro will keep turning, it means that Cobb didn't escape from the gun in Qi Teng's hand, and finally stayed on the edge of the subconscious and couldn't come back. Is Puzzle 2 a cold-blooded movie? Although it took Nolan only 65,438+00 years to complete the leap from movie fan to Hollywood A-level director, many film critics criticized Nolan's films for being addicted to narrative pleasure and "as indifferent and impersonal as Kubrick". A big Hollywood producer once said to Warner executives who signed Nolan: "This is a cold-blooded guy who makes cold-blooded movies." Perhaps in order to dispel people's concerns in this respect, perhaps in order to realize their own shortcomings, Nolan claimed to deliberately strengthen Inception's emotional intensity: "The emotional expression of the thief movie I originally wanted to shoot was very superficial, so I decided to shoot Inception and thought, why not improve its emotional intensity? We can't just rely on the creativity of dreams or memories. When I was filming Batman movies, I found that highlighting emotional elements was the best way to arouse the audience to sing. Only by strengthening the psychological and emotional background of the character, then no matter how strange things happen in the film, the audience can actually accept it. " Puzzle 3: The most complicated movie in history? On March 18, Inception showed flowers for a few minutes at the ShoWest of the American Film Industry Fair. Although many amazing action and special effects scenes have been exposed, the audience is even more confused about what kind of story the film tells. After watching the movie for the first time, maybe your confusion has not been solved much. Leonardo described it this way: "Its plot structure is very complicated, just like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, and Nolan will put these pieces together in a wonderful way that we have never seen before. The audience should completely stare at the screen and concentrate on figuring out what happened. When watching Inception's first clip, my nerves never relaxed. " Complexity and ambiguity are Nolan's pride. Nolan showed his fascination and mastery of nonlinear narrative from the beginning of his debut novel Tracking, and the complete flashback and magic way of amnesia reached its peak for the jigsaw narrative ahead. In addition, Nolan also played an ambush that excited die-hard Nolan fans: Inception not only visited six countries on location, but also added a real-time dimension. I haven't said how we did it yet, but I believe it can let you experience what a four-dimensional time-space movie is. "Behind the scenes mystery 4 movie originated from a dream? 1986 One morning, 16-year-old Christopher Nolan suddenly woke up from a dream and then fell asleep in a daze. "But I slept very lightly. When the dream reappeared, I knew I was dreaming. This feeling is wonderful, especially when you are still trying to distinguish your place in the dream and what happened. " Nolan recalled. After waking up, Nolan's dream plan began. 1999, the appearance of the mother made Nolan feel that he might realize his dream. Later, he wrote Inception's play while filming The Dark Knight. After the success of Knight, Nolan spent half a year revising the script. Finally, he caught his dream, just like he was standing on the beach with a handful of sand in his hand. "Dreams are actually not bizarre, because the content in the human brain is completely composed of reality. Think about it, what is the same as entering other people's dreams? Movies! The cinema is a place where you can sneak into other people's dreams. " Puzzle 5: Why spend $200 million? Nolan said that Inception is the biggest challenge in his career, although he has mastered Batman: The Mystery of the blur and The Dark Knight, which cost more than $65.438+$50 million. Indeed, the cost of Inception has reached $200 million, which has touched the high-risk line of film recycling. Nolan's wife emma thomas, who is also his royal producer, said: "After the success of The Dark Knight, the only thing Chris and I want to do is to make a more personal film. Chris has had the idea of filming Inception for a long time. We have been discussing it for 78 years, but The Dark Knight brought the best opportunity. Inception spent $200 million, not because our ambition expanded to deliberately challenge the scale of The Dark Knight, but because the story itself decided that it would cost $200 million. " It is known that in order to make the dream divorced from reality, Inception took pains to shoot in six different countries, such as French and Japanese. Puzzle 6: Will Nolan fall? Inception is Nolan's most ambitious and dangerous attempt: unlike The Dark Knight, which is adapted from a familiar comic book, Memento or The Devil's Tactics, which is only produced at a low cost, as a bizarre movie wrapped in commercial blockbusters, it may deter those who are spoiled by low IQ popcorn entertainment movies. It is said that many viewers who read the script and then go to the movies will still face "Do you understand?" . In the past ten years, Nolan has done many incredible things, but in the end, it seems that all of them have been blessed by God: amnesia, a complete flashback, and he was nominated for the Oscar for best screenplay. The Dark Knight runs counter to the trend of computer special effects in Hollywood, but it has achieved unprecedented success. This time is no exception. This film is very popular in North America, and its screening in China is also well received. Even if you don't believe Nolan's good luck, you should believe that the bosses responsible for saving money have made a realistic and rigorous calculation of Inception's business prospects. Six levels of dreams, six reincarnation Nolan created a mysterious dream maze in the film and created some rules of the game for these dreams. For example, if you die in the next dream, you will wake up in the last dream; Dreams can be planned according to your own wishes. The closer to the details in reality, the easier it is for people in dreams to believe the truth of dreams. In order to prevent dreamers from sneaking into dreams to steal information, most important people have received special anti-theft training. Team members used special hypnotics. If they die in a dream, they will not wake up in the previous dream, but be thrown into the wasteland of consciousness. If no one wakes up, they will never wake up. The body state in the upper dream will affect the overall body state in the lower dream. In addition to the rules of the game, Nolan also entered different big scenes for different dreams to meet the mode of commercial blockbusters and the visual demands of the audience. After Inception entered his first dream, the car gunfight on the 1 floor did not show the special effects scene of the city hanging upside down and everything falling apart that Cobb and the dreamer Ariadne had experienced before, but the fierce gunfight and thrilling street bike riding that Cobb and his party encountered were still big scenes that challenged their vision. However, these mindless scenes are sometimes regarded as the great failure of this film with the label of "intellectual strangulation". The dream of vacuum struggle on the second floor took place in a luxurious hotel. In reality, when Inception's van rushed out of the bridge fence and fell into the river, there was a vacuum in this hotel. Everything in this space floats in the air, and people can go backwards or float at will. Nolan's naughty place is that he also designed a bad "melee" in this space. In the second dream, the dreamer Arthur was the only one awake. He fought with the defenders who followed him to protect other dream companions. Interestingly, in the case of weightlessness, fighting becomes as fun as a game, with countless drifting and reversing actions. Although the actor Hong Weiya worked hard, it was worthwhile to entertain the audience. The third layer of snow kills the third layer of snow battle, which may not be stimulated by the gunfight on the first layer and the drift on the second layer, but what is special about this layer is that the snow and the fortress are such an extremely dreamy and terrible space that even the protagonist Fisher has to blame the dreamer for setting the scene in the snow instead of on the beach. Inception fights wits and wits with defenders here. Most of them are gun battles and explosions, but occasionally skiing and snowmobile driving are both enjoyable and enjoyable. The fourth layer of emotional entanglement is the last layer of dreams on the surface, and it is the subconscious edge constructed by Cobb and his wife Mel. Cobb's previous dreams included beaches, mansions and even "homes" and "families" in different periods. Cobb met his wife here, and they talked about the past heart to heart. Emotional confrontation and entanglement in tears. Cobb untied the knot that had betrayed her before and regarded her as an experimenter of "implanting dreams". At the same time, he let go of the past and felt that he was no longer bound by the shadow of his wife's death, and implanted some emotional scenes for the film in time. The edge of the fifth floor dream has reached this level, perhaps just the audience's guess. Cobb was caught by Qi Teng, who was old and forced to stay with him on the wasteland of consciousness. However, Cobb came here only for one purpose, that is, to awaken Qi Teng, and they crossed back to reality. But Nolan only set a few short shots here. The last scene is that Qi Teng picks up the gun in front of him, facing Cobb ... The Sixth Floor is also a real and unreal movie. Finally, Cobb woke up on the plane, and all the members of Inception were there. They got off the plane together and crossed the border of Los Angeles. Cobb also returned to his home in America and met a pair of children who missed him very much. At this time, many people would think that he was really saved and returned to reality from his dream, but when he took out the gyro in his pocket and made it turn, everything seemed to be back in his dream, because Cobb once said, "As long as the gyro keeps turning, he will stay awake in his dream."
