Chapter 2296： perfect dream

Today's eighth update, please recommend, please subscribe!

In "Inception", what Cobb experienced from beginning to end was a dream, including the shared dream itself? This theory is too bold, setting off a huge wave on the Internet.

This online review argues that if the entire story is a dream, then the theory of "shared dreams" that is not properly explained in the story makes sense. In addition, there are many unreasonable parts in the story, for example, he is wanted by business tycoons around the world because of a failed mission; for example, in a chase scene in Mombasa, Cobb tries to pass a narrowing alley. Typical manifestations of anxiety in dreams; for example, the room where Moer committed suicide was actually two opposite hotels, and the structure was very strange; for example, Cobb’s children did not grow up from beginning to end; for example, Cobb’s totem was It comes from his wife Moer, and Arthur said before that the totem must be made by himself, and its characteristics cannot be known to others, and its secrets cannot even be discovered by others, so as to distinguish between dreams and reality, but Cobb's top comes from Yu Mo'er didn't make it by herself, and then was taken by Saito, and everyone knew that Cobb's spinning top was a sign of a dream, and there was no secret...

Plus, the review mentions, Evan Bell mentioned on the premiere red carpet that "Inception" is more like Federico Fellini's "Eight and a Half," which, as we all know, "eight-and-a-half". Part and a half" is Federico Fellini's spin, a film about how to make a movie, which was later adapted into the famous Broadway play "Nine" starring Evan Bell.

certainly. These detailed and peripheral parts are only supplements to this netizen's point of view, and his real core point "the whole story is a dream" has a clearer explanation.

"The entire implanted consciousness team can be one-on-one with the main characters in the film production process. Cobb is the director, Arthur who did the preliminary research and set up the studio is the producer, and Ariad is the script writer. Eames is an actor, Yosef is an engineer - don't forget, the full name of the Oscar is the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and the technical staff cannot be ignored. And Nolan himself also said in an 'movie review', There are many similarities between the behavior of the entire team and the shooting of a Hollywood movie. For example, when the team walks and investigates the streets that they have built. This is exactly the same as the technical inspection of the film before the start.

The remaining two main characters, Saito is the investor, Fisher is the audience. Director Cobb takes viewer Fisher on an addictive, exciting and exciting journey, leading him to better understand himself. Cobb is an amazing film director who brings action, special effects, but also meaning, humanity and emotion.

The "movie is like a dream" point of view is also the reason why the Cobb team made the dream so real. The explanation in the film is that changing the dream too much will cause the dreamer to realize the abnormality of the surrounding environment. This is also another way of saying that all films seek a balance between suspense and dishonesty. Once the audience drifts away from the movie due to some details, an unreasonable scene, a ridiculous line, or a failed performance is likely to make the whole movie lose its magic power, and the audience will be disappointed.

"Inception" is a very important movie because it represents the level that a good movie strives to seek, and audiences who have experienced a good movie will find themselves completely new. There are new ideas in my head, and even the nervous system is slightly reorganized. After watching "Inception", the audience's heated discussion, new concepts, new ideas, and new viewpoints emerged one after another. This is a souvenir given by a good movie that lasts longer than the ticket stub.

For the character of Fisher in the story. The emotional breakthroughs he experienced were real, even though his father wasn't there. Even though his windmills weren't real, the emotions he felt were 100% real. Likewise, the movie the audience watches is not real, but it doesn't matter, because when the emotion conveyed by a movie really moves the audience, then it is real. Tears from watching 'Toy Story 3' are so real.

For Cobb, all of this has a deeper meaning, because he has also experienced all of this, even if the entire story is just a dream, but after he passed his thoughts and concepts through the dream, he also got the same In order to vent, this has become a bridge of communication between him and Fisher, the director and the audience, which is the so-called artwork!

In many ways, 'Inception' shares similarities with last summer's 'Inglourious Basterds,' with Quentin Tarantino paying homage to the art of cinema by changing history, while Christopher Nolan and Evan- Bell, on the other hand, shows the exploration process of film, and fully shows the relationship between film, art and human beings. For the film itself, this is a dream, but more abstractly, it should be a dream, or a dream of the two directors. While Cobb found senior inspiration, they also completed their own spiritual purification! "

The comment, posted on imdb, undoubtedly caused an uproar, and this novel point of view triggered a half-boiling effect across the web. But obviously, with a theory, someone came to refute it, and soon a comment appeared on Facebook, refuting this statement in all aspects.

"It wasn't a dream! The wedding ring betrayed the truth!

I watched "Inception" four times just to prove that the whole story is not a dream, but a reality, and the wedding ring is the key point!

The movie starts with Cobb and Saito's dream, Cobb wears a ring, and when the persuasion in the palace fails, and returns to the dilapidated apartment, Cobb threatens Saito to believe this is reality, and here Cobb also Still wearing a wedding ring. After waiting for them to wake up all the time, they returned to the Shinkansen, which is the so-called reality. There is no wedding ring in Cobb's hand!

After that, when calling a child in a hotel room; without a wedding ring, when talking to Saito in a helicopter, without a wedding ring; at the University of Architecture, without a wedding ring; in Ariad's first dream coffee shop, With a wedding ring; back in the studio, without a wedding ring; back in a dream, Ariad killed by Molly, with a wedding ring; see Ames, without a wedding ring; see Yosef, without a wedding ring Ring; try potion to dream and wear a wedding ring; wake up without a wedding ring.

So at the end of the story, after waking up on the plane, Cobb did not have a wedding ring on his hand; on the first floor, wearing a wedding ring, on the second floor, wearing it; on the third floor, wearing it; in the dream he Always wear a wedding ring. And when the story goes back to the end, when Cobb arrives in Los Angeles, walks through the terminal, no wedding ring; he hugs his father, no wedding ring; he reunites with his children, spinning totems, no wedding ring.

Why is this? Because in the dream, Mo'er still exists, and Cobb is still married to Mo'er, so he is wearing a wedding ring; but in reality, he knows that Mo'er is dead, and the wedding ring has been removed. , no longer confuse yourself living in a dream. This is the simplest yet truest fact.

As for the totem, some people say that the top fell in someone else's dream, which is completely incorrect. But in fact, the picture and sound of the Saito spinning top in the two scenes at the beginning and the end of the movie should be linked together. When the old Saito spinning top was still spinning when the picture was young, while in the old Saito spinning top At the end, when we saw the old Saito again, the top was still spinning, Saito knew it was a dream, so he picked up the handgun.

An interesting discovery is that in each picture of the endless spinning top, Cobb is wearing a wedding ring; but in the picture where the top is stopped, Cobb is not wearing it.

At the end of the story, everyone wakes up smiling, which seems like a wonderful dream, but it's not. Everyone else's potions disappeared and they naturally woke up, but Cobb and Saito were still in a dream state. When the two came back, everyone was happy that they had successfully escaped from the lost realm. And then after landing and going through customs, everyone smiled at each other because they knew the implantation was successful!

The story wouldn't make sense if it was all just a dream, because Cobb did wake up and got back on the plane, and in theory, you never know the beginning of a dream, so if it was a dream, Cobb did How did you get back on the plane knowing that this was the beginning of a dream? In other words, if this was a dream, Cobb would be in another place when he woke up, because he didn't know that the beginning of the dream was on the plane. So Conversely, when Cobb is awake, he does come back to reality.

Finally, it's worth mentioning that when Cobb came home, the kids were still wearing the same clothes, doing the same things, and the same age, which is really an annoying sign. But are they really the same age? During my third viewing of the movie, I found that the two children actually seemed to have grown up, and it was clearly written in the cast list that there were actually four actors who played the two children, each with a two-year gap. This shows that this is reality, the children have grown up and are not the same as Cobb remembered.

And of course, there's the top itself, which apparently by the end of the movie, the top has shaken a lot like it's about to fall instead of calibrating itself, which also means the top is about to stop.

Conclusion: this movie is not a dream, Cobb spends a whole movie trying to get back to his children, so why let him settle for the shadow of a dream, what proof is there that he has been dreaming all the time, if he Dreaming about the ending where you dreamed again?

Obviously, Evan Bell and Christopher Nolan will not come up with the cliché of "it's a dream", in fact, the reason why they cut the clip of the falling top is to plant it in the minds of all viewers A seed of doubt was planted, and the implantation of the mind was completed. Therefore, the idea of ​​this film becomes a reality for the audience, so as to think more deeply about things that have never been done before. This kind of reflection has a far-reaching impact. "
