"New York Times Square Theater, 'Inception, the world premiere, after the lights went out, there was thunderous applause and cheers, and the huge screen slowly fell to the accompaniment of the symphony' Zarathustra said, this is the Stanley Kubrick's '2001 A Space Odyssey, the tune used in the opening credits, made the audience even more excited, and after a few seconds, we didn't know where we were."

​​

This is the beginning of the film review from the "New York Times" film critic Neil D'Arcy. This review, called "Dazzling Dream World", was published on the official website of the "New York Times" for the first time, and When the film review came out, carnivals around the world were still going on.

​​

The brightly lit all-night carnival in New York City has no time to rest. Many viewers who were fortunate enough to watch the premiere were still dizzy after walking out of the cinema, but they were unwilling to leave. Everyone willingly continued to wait at the premiere scene. I hope to wait until after midnight to usher in the official global premiere, enter the cinema again, and watch this movie for the second time.

​​

So, it was a sleepless night for all movie fans.

​​

Similarly, the same is true for 16 countries and regions in the world that hold simultaneous premieres. This is a moment when the sun never sets. Everyone locks their focus on "Inception" and listens to those fans who have watched the premiere. The heated discussions between them almost made the winter in the southern hemisphere and the dark sky in the western hemisphere retreat.

​​

"The combination of Evan Bell and Christopher Nolan is so amazing, so crazy and so wonderful that people have no ability to resist at all, but can only follow the mirror language to gallop in this new world.

​​

In the first half of the film, Bell and Nolan are like two Frankensteins, almost frantically throwing various concepts and rules to the audience, most of which can be explained in the second half. Therefore, from the first second of the movie, I was dragged by the language of Bell and Nolan's pictures, rushing through the maze they built at a very fast speed, which made me distinguish the direction at all, one after another with The impact of the picture is like a bomb detonating in the head, roaring again and again.

​​

'Inception is a story about entering other people's dreams and implanting ideas, and the complexity and brilliance of this task far exceed the limit that all audiences can imagine. Bell and Nolan lead the audience to arbitrarily form between reality and dream, dream and dream. They are like puppet masters who manipulate the movie representation of Eleven Studio, manipulating the direction of the story, and at the same time manipulating the audience's unconsciousness. Entering this visual and auditory storm, sensory stimulation and emotional excitement, while the brain is still spinning rapidly, if there is a slight negligence, you may be lost in this huge maze.

​​

If it is said that the structure of consciousness is Nolan's specialty, then the core of the story is the exploration of psychology, which is Bell's specialty. Cobb's inner obsession with going home led to the philosophical proposition that has troubled countless people. What is a dream and what is reality? If all the senses exist in a dream, what is the difference between it and reality? Until the last end of the movie, Bell successfully threw this question to all the audience, making reflections like a tsunami in everyone's heart.

​​

Obviously, this is a great attempt. The joint effort of Nolan and Bell has provided us with an excellent visual feast. The complex and delicate story structure is combined with a full-fledged inner reflection, which has created a shocking film. 's masterpiece. Both the vision and the brain are like a roller coaster viewing experience, which makes people linger. This is a perfect work, a perfect combination of business and art, and an epic blockbuster that is comparable to the 'Titanic,' 'The Dark Knight,' 'Lord of the Rings, the series, 'Avatar,' and other masterpieces!

​​

After the movie ended, the audience burst into applause again. The most frequent comment I heard at the end of the movie was 'I didn't understand it at all, but it was still very beautiful. This is my feeling. Maybe that's what Nolan and Bell are aiming for, dazzling the audience even if they're lost in their maze of images, and that's the best reason to make them walk through the cinema for a second time. "

​​

Unlike in the past, Neil D'Arcy did not seem to have conducted a deep analysis of the film's structure and ideas this time, because at the end of this film review, Neil D'Arcy emphasized that he did not fully comprehend the essence of the movie. Because watching the first part was too much brainstorming, he had to go into the cinema again for a second viewing before doing an in-depth analysis of the movie. This is also a very rare situation.

​​

In fact, it's not just Neil D'Arcy, but Chris Fairbanks, who waited three days to write a review for "Movie Review" simply because he wanted to see it after his third viewing. , but the "Inception" tickets for all the movie theaters in New York were sold out, and he couldn't buy tickets at all! And it's been like this for three whole days! In the end, in desperation, Chris Fairbanks could only write a film review after the second viewing of the film, looking rather unwilling.

​​

"This is the review I wrote after watching the movie for the second time, and it was only because I watched it twice that I realized that this is a movie with such a deep connotation, because it is a film that truly respects the audience's intelligence and mobilizes the audience to participate. Created movies, such interactivity makes the process of watching the movie extremely challenging, which makes all audiences gradually change from a bystander to a screenwriter, and different audiences will be reminiscent of the plot after the movie is over. There are countless possibilities for this story, and the existence of such a film has extraordinary value in itself.

​​

In terms of directing techniques, the cooperation between Nolan and Bell has given the film extraordinary depth. Nolan's sculpture of the sensory part still continues the 'Deadly Magic', 'Dark Knight,' and other masterpieces. The excellent performance allows the audience to maintain the pleasure and stimulation of the senses at all times during the viewing process, which maximizes the entertainment effect of the work.

​​

Bell's ability to dig deep into emotions has always been the number one figure among today's directors. In such a huge story framework, Bell has very limited room to play, but he still uses limited means such as color, soundtrack, and light and shadow. , which deeply digs out the main line of emotion, so that the depth of the finished product immediately breaks away from the category of commercial films, which is worthy of repeated scrutiny.

​​

Of course, "Inception, the most amazing thing is the strong imagination and the integration of various entertainment elements in the script work. The works with the theme of dreams and human consciousness are not new elements for a long time. The classic 'Monster Street, the basic setting of the series is that ghosts kill by invading children's dreams, and Akira Kurosawa directly uses 'dream, For the title, he has filmed a film that reveals personal sustenance and fear through the display of dreams, and the plot of the illusion of murder in the matrix of human consciousness has been pushed to a philosophical height in 'The Matrix'.

​​

In this story, Nolan and Bell have made a unique interpretation of this proposition, extending the variation of the time dimension of the dream environment to the maximum through the depth of the dream environment, and the interaction between the levels is also very intriguing. . The unique and distinctive career arrangement in the entire team makes everyone have a bright spot, and their viewing degree and imagination even surpass the single impact of 'Avatar', which is visually stunning.

​​

In fact, it is very difficult to discuss the plot of Inception alone. It is like a domino. In the process of letting it go, Nolan and Bell gave it enough impetus with their unique system. In fact, this is a domino. In a movie with a hypnotic nature, unconsciously, the psychological suggestion created by the lens of the movie actually allows the audience to cooperate with the two directors to complete the work of implanting ideas, and the audience is correspondingly implanted. into this idea. Therefore, from a certain point of view, this is a movie that is infinitely close to the essence of the movie, and it is enough to make people feel a short trance and doubt about dreams and reality. This is a very unique and precious aftertaste of watching movies.

​​

If you want to deeply interpret the value system of 'Inception, I think the entanglement between Cobb and Mo'er, which is the emotional clue on the surface, can be used as an entrance. In essence, Cobb's motivation for accepting Saito's mission It’s going home, and it’s also self-salvation. How difficult the task is, how long is the journey home And until the end of the story, people realize that Cobb’s current situation is actually because he Mo'er implanted her thoughts, which led to a negative causal cycle.

​​

Cobb's guilt and torture gave the value system of Inception a social significance of ideological criticism.

​​

Of course, this is just a clue on the surface, as I said, Bell never does nothing in vain, hidden behind the whole story, there is also a dark line, this clue that hints at the essence of the movie, makes 'Inception, The overall quality is beyond the norm. But the truth of this dark line, I think I need to walk into the cinema for the third time to be sure.

​​

Although at the end of the movie, we finally saw the smiling faces of the two children who touched the audience's minds in 150 minutes, the spinning top still makes people elusive about what is real and imaginary. Does this mean that This story that started in reality and finally returned to the origin of the story in a dream? Such a dreamland similar to a maze, everyone gets something different, but it is also the biggest charm of the movie. "

​​

Obviously, Chris Fairbanks did not fully understand the movie, and the meaning of the movie is far deeper than it appears on the surface. Like Neil Darcy, he is obviously ready to go back to the cinema again. Relive the movie-watching feast brought by Evan Bell and Christopher Nolan!
