Inception complete analysis of plot logic (enter
if you don’t understand, don’t enter










if you have n’t read it) Inception complete analysis of plot logic (enter if you don’t understand, don’t enter if you have n’t read it) Inception is like a fantasy novel, you must Accept the countless unconstrained settings in it; but it is the best fantasy novel, because the plot is impeccable under its setting. So first, we must explain all the settings mentioned in the film:


1. First, there are six worlds in the film. If we take the real world planned by the group in the film as a reference, in order of dreams, they are: real world, first dream, second dream, third dream, fourth dream, limbo (Lost Domain) .

2. Normal people are active in the real world, and in the first layer of dreams when dreaming. If you want to enter the second level of dreams, that is, dreams in dreams, you must take general drugs. In the case of taking general drugs, there are two ways to wake up from a dream (whether it is the first layer or the second layer): The first is the so-called'kick', which is the impact of falling gravity. The second is to be killed. Of course, waiting for the effect of the drug to expire is also a method that is not a solution.

3. If you want to enter the third level of dreams, that is, dreams in dreams, general drugs will be ineffective, and intensive drugs must be used. But the side effect of enhanced drugs is that if you are killed in a dream, you can't wake up, but will enter Limbo (what is limbo is explained later), so you can only use Kick to wake up.

4. The so-called Synchronize a kick (co-stimulation), which means that it is necessary to stimulate at all levels at the same time to wake up the person in the dream. For example, for people who are active in the fourth level of dreams, they need to kick (stimulus) at the same time on the first to fourth levels to wake them up in the first level; if they are only on the third and fourth levels, they will be kicked (stimulus) at the first level. Three layers wake up; and if there is no Kick (stimulus) at the same time in a certain layer in the middle, such as Kick (stimulus) only in the first, second and fourth layers or Kick (stimulus) only in the first and second layers, the activity is The person in the fourth layer of dreams will not wake up, which is also called Miss a kick. So when the team in the film plans to invade the deep dreams, each layer must keep people awake and responsible for Kick (stimulus), and use the end of the music to coordinate the moment of Kick (stimulus) at the same time.

5. The time between layers is delayed by approximately twenty times. The approximate number given in the line is a ten-hour flight in the real world. It is about one week in the first level of dreams, about six months in the second level of dreams, and about ten years in the third level of dreams.

6. The literal translation of Inception's title is "open". In the movie, it is a term for inception. It does not refer to stealing information in a dream, but refers to implanting a certain idea into the target person so that he feels that the idea is his own. . Inception must be completed at least on the third layer. There is a reason for this. We can see in the dreams of the target characters in the film. The first layer of dreams is very shallow and has a lot of consciousness. It is the entire city. The second floor is a hotel. On the third floor, there is only the white snow. A fortress. The stronger the effect of implanting in dreams with less consciousness.

7. Every dream has a dreamer (Dreamer), who shares his dreams with others. The scene in the dream can be designed by a dedicated designer and then told to the dream master, so the designer is not necessarily the dream master. In theory, people who enter this dream will bring some of their own consciousness projections, but everyone except the target person knows that they are dreaming, so their will will not be confused. The designer’s dream cannot be too outrageous to have unrealistic scenes, otherwise the target person will realize that he is dreaming, and his projection will attack other people who intrude into his dream. Of course, if the target person’s projection has undergone special anti-theft dream training, even if the dream scene is very real, the intruder will be besieged by the projection.

8. Limbo is not a dream, and it does not vary from person to person. You can only enter when you are taking a booster drug and you are dying in a dream. Time is endless in Limbo. Moreover, there are only some scene fragments left by people who have been here before. Before the Japanese went, only Leo and his wife had been there. Therefore, the house in the lost field of the Japanese at the beginning and the end was given to him when Leo pirated him. He made the same. If you enter the Lost Domain, you will return to reality if you die, but the problem is that you will lose your memory in the Lost Domain and you will not remember this method, so entering the Lost Domain is a last resort.

9. Dreams can be grafted. In other words, after A and B enter C's first-level dream (the dreamer of this level is C), B can bring A into the second-level dream of B (the dreamer of this level is B).

The setting is roughly like this, let's look at the plot below.

In chronological order, Leo and his woman matter first. These two people are the pioneers of the dream world. When they got married, they promised to grow old together. The common pursuit of the dream world made them experiment on themselves. In the experiment, they entered the fourth level of dreams where women are the masters of dreams. There are very few things in the third-level dream world of people, and the fourth-level is even more empty. Because there are only two people experimenting, the first few floors can't help them kick if there are no people left, and due to the effect of time delay, in reality, falling asleep for a day on the fourth floor is fifty years. So they grow up hand in hand in the fourth-level dream world, and only create things to play in their leisure time. Fifty years later they died of old age in their dreams. Thinking that they had taken a booster drug, both of them entered Limbo's lost domain. The woman in Lost Domain is eager to stay together without the end of time and thinks that this is reality and does not want to return to reality, while Leo thinks of her own child and wants to return to reality. In the end, he persuaded the woman to commit suicide with him on the rails. He was not sure that he could get out of limbo, so before committing suicide, he instilled the idea of ​​doubting everything and trying everything into the woman. This was his first inception. After the Lost Territory committed suicide, they returned to reality, but the side effect of that inception occurred, that is, women began to suspect that reality was actually a dream, thinking that only death can escape. So the woman committed suicide and created the illusion of Leo killing. The ultimate goal is to let Leo also be executed so that he can escape from the dream together. Poor Leo can only abandon the children and fled abroad. And Leo’s subconscious mind is full of the shadow of his wife (the role of shade), as long as he engages in the work of designing dreams, the shadow of his wife (representing his subconscious regret and resentment for killing his wife’s dream work) ) Bad things will come out.
(Leo and his wife experienced the two worlds of the fourth-level dream and limbo. The most obvious evidence is that they were both young when the limbo committed suicide and returned to reality, while in the fourth-level dream, the two were old.)

It is said that Leo casually took the job of Pirates in foreign countries, and received a job to steal intelligence from a Japanese tycoon. This is the beginning of the gunfight scene, and it is also a simple dream in a dream, so there are only general drugs here, and you will wake up immediately after you die in the dream. As a result, the designers of the team made mistakes and put on gangs in dreams, and then betrayed them in reality. The Japanese value his abilities, and instead hire him for inception: Let the young head of a competitor company divide his father’s legacy and promise him that he can return to China to take care of his children. So he found a new designer girl and a new team. The plan for inception is to spread a good impression of his father in the hearts of the young heads. Leo mentioned in the discussion that negative things will have a positive impact. If the young head hates his father, he will instead do a good job in the company to prove that he is better than his father.

The location of Inception this time was selected on a 10-hour flight from Sydney to the United States. This is unsuccessful for Leo because he was wanted in the United States for the murder of his wife, and the Japanese promised that as long as he completes the task, he will call on the plane to solve the problem.

As soon as I entered the first dream of the young master, something went wrong. This person has been trained by other Pirates of Dreams. Although the dream is created by the little girl, the consciousness of the target character will incarnate the armed personnel to attack the characters in the abnormal dream. What's more important is that this inception will be implemented in the third layer of dreams, and leo did not tell everyone about the side effects of the enhanced drugs before. At this time, there is only one road to Huashan to complete the task. The Indians stayed on the first floor and took charge of the kick. They entered the hotel on the second floor. The little handsome guy stayed on the second floor and took charge of the kick. Go to the father they designed and accept the idea. Just before success, the shadow of Leo's wife appeared again and shot the young head. At this time, the young head was not dead, but was in a coma. In a hurry, the little girl proposed to graft the young head. Enter Leo's fourth-level dream, and use'kick' there, plus the third-level electric shock to wake up the young master. So, the little girl and Leo entered Leo's fourth-level dream, where the little girl kicked the young master back to the third-level dream (while someone on the third level shocked his body). In the depths of the snow castle, the young master heard the last words of the father in the design: I am disappointed that you tried... He left the company alone. After opening the safe, he saw the paper windmill that he most cherished and his father's photo. Under the guilt of his father, he would naturally realize the false testament of the same in the safe to spin off the company. Here inception's task is successfully completed. The explosion kick in the dream world on the third floor, the elevator kick on the second floor, and the falling kick on the first floor are carried out at the same time. Little girls, handsome boys, Indians and others successfully escaped to the first level. Only the Japanese died in the third-level dream world, so they skipped the fourth level and went directly to the limbo.

At the same time, Leo finally killed his wife's shadow in the fourth-level dream world. He was also stabbed to death by the shadow in the fight, and he also came to the Lost Zone. Here he met the Japanese, and persuaded him to kill Leo with a gun, then commit suicide and both return to reality.
(From the dream world to limbo, the memory will not work well, so Leo said that he forgot to get old together with his wife on the fourth floor before entering the Lost Territory for the first time. The second time he entered Lost Territory to meet the Japanese. I also thought for a long time before remembering the purpose-the Japanese can't return to reality and can't fulfill the promised reward for letting him go home.)

At this point, Leo's heart knot is untied, and his regret for his wife's death is recalled. The happiness of growing old with his wife in the fourth dream world was diluted. After waking up on the plane, the Japanese also fulfilled his promise and called and released him from his arrest.

The final ending is open. The top doesn't know how to stop, but it doesn't hurt. If the reality as a reference is indeed a dream, it will only turn the six-layer world into seven. Just like the looping and closing stairs that appear many times in the movie, the multi-layered world in the movie is nothing more than a Mobius circle with increased dimensions, from 1 to 2 to 3 to 0 to 1 to 2 to 3 to 0……. . So back and forth.

If you have any questions about my explanation or other places, please reply. I will edit and update.

Add the plot about the veteran. Forger disguised as a rich second-generation veteran in the first dream. In addition to obtaining information about the relationship between him and his father, he also set up a foreshadowing to frame the veteran in the second dream. The veteran in the second layer is the projection of the veteran in the consciousness of the rich second generation, so if the rich second generation believes that the veteran is the center, the projection will show loyalty, and vice versa. So forger told the Japanese on the second floor that he was following the projection of the old minister and judged whether the rich second generation had a set based on the performance of the projection. The purpose of this set is to make the rich second generation think that the private army in the third layer of dreams where their own consciousness is projected is the projection of the veteran's consciousness. In the so-called lines, let him defeat his own consciousness defense to complete the inception.

imrains:
There are two doubts:
1. The order of Kick, I understand that Kick should happen at level N, and then pull people in level N+1 back to level N. So I don’t agree with the Kick who was on the fourth floor of Cobb. How could they wake up the people on the third floor when they were on the fourth floor;
2. You said that when they died in Limbo, they returned to reality. There is no need to be nervous when the first floor is shot. Just tell him that you commit suicide in limbo. Moreover, if it is so easy, there is no need to arrange Kick layer by layer. After completing the task, everyone died together, and then die again in LImbo...

Answer: 1. As added in the settings , The electric shock to the N-layer sleeping human body + the N+1 active human body kick can simulate the N-layer kick. Of course at the same time. So in the end, the players on the third floor didn't know when the target person jumped on the fourth floor, so they kept electrocuting him who was unconscious.
2. Entering the Lost Domain will cause amnesia, so Leo did not remember until the end that he and his wife had grown old on the fourth floor, and the second time he entered the Lost Domain, he remembered himself with a familiar line from the Japanese. The purpose of coming.

Yimu:
What I have never figured out is how Leo came to the elderly Japanese from the fourth floor (Lost Field), "stabbed to death by the shadow", I really don't remember this stage.

Answer: Well, in fact, Leo deliberately used words to stimulate the shadow to assassinate him. After the shadow stabbed him, he was shot by the little girl. The little girl also reminded Leo who was dying to find the Japanese. There are no shots for the sting, because the PG13 rating of this film must be guaranteed. A knife pierced the body and the camera was rated R, and the box office lost.

Zhu Shimao:
I want to hear the host talk about the spinning top.
Cobb said this was given to me by my wife. She locked it in the safe on the fourth floor as you mentioned, and then Cobb made it turn in the safe. Then finally A shot. Is
it a symbol (especially the safe section), or is it a key prop?

Answer: If the spinning top keeps spinning, it means it is not in reality. So no matter whether it is on the fourth floor or in the Lost Domain, it will always turn around. Leo woman hides the top on the fourth floor and Lost Domain, because she doesn't want this thing to remind herself that this is not reality. However, Leo found it hidden, so he knew the woman's mind that she didn't want to leave, so she wanted to use inception to change her mind. This is easy, because when Leo and his wife first experimented, Leo was the dreamer and designer. Since then, the top has been carried by Leo.

Seren,
but the Japanese spent so much effort in the end, it seems that they just helped the rich second-generation rivals solve the father-son complex for free. . . . . .
Answer: The Japanese's goal of splitting the company has been achieved. Please see the section on completing the task.

LX throws an exception
a small problem, it should be that if he knows the structure of the entire dream, then the shade will know it, and then the shade will come to him in the subconscious mind. This is a bit different from if he designs, then the shade will come bad.
Answer: Yes, yes. Shade will have bad things no matter what, but if leo designs it, shade will know all the bad things about the scene structure are easier. The Japanese in

chibababa1
but limbo is so old as Mao? Because the time in limbo will slow down even more? However, he only went down earlier than Leo.
Also, if you return to amnesia in limbo, you don't know that suicide can return to reality. When Leo and his wife go, he knows that he will commit suicide back and forth by lying on the rails?

Answer: 1. The Japanese died long before the rich second generation who died on the third floor woke up. Although leo died on the fourth floor, it is obvious that it was after the third rich second generation woke up. Dead, this period of time plus two layers (3 to 4, 4 to limbo) time delay, so the Japanese are much older than Leo. The so-called limitless time in limbo is because the time delay of limbo is very large, although the specific numbers are not given in the movie.
2. They are not sure, just give it a try. In fact, because they are pioneers, many problems are derived from practice. For example, the time delay multiple of the fourth floor exceeded their expectations without preparation, otherwise they would not stay on the fourth floor for fifty years. Leo always said that he was waiting for the train when he was lying on the track, but he was not sure where the train would take them. Later, Leo's wife's suspicion also originated from this. Since you are not sure, why can't it be an unreal world after being killed by limbo.

ZephyrO: The
first level of dreams is very shallow, with a lot of consciousness, it is the entire city, the second level is a hotel, and on the third level there is only a fortress in the white snow.
---------------Why don't you say that the fourth floor is also the whole city? Don't mislead others to cut down.

Answer: Well, I mean: Little Girl Design In the dream of the first level, the consciousness of the rich second generation turned into many people in the big city, the second level only had a few people in the hotel, and the third level only had the security guards in the snow castle. The fourth floor is the dreamland designed by leo. The city inside is empty, created by him and his wife before. When other people enter, whether it is the wife or the little girl, they bring nothing but themselves. Character projection.

shoujuan
1. When cobb and his wife were in limbo, how did he know that it was not reality and needed to commit suicide to return to the real world?
2. In limbo, can only suicide be able to return to reality? Can he kill? Killing is possible in dreams.
3. Why is it a Mobius ring? I didn't see that the dream is circular.
Answer: 1. There are many ways to know that it is not reality. For example, the spinning top will not stop, and finally the Japanese won't stop when spinning in the limbo. As for why I know suicide. The previous question of chibababa1 has been answered.
2. Murder seems to be okay. Because at the end it was implied that the Japanese raised a gun and killed Leo in limbo and then committed suicide to return to reality.
3. Go up the first floor to the second floor to the third floor, and then go up to the first floor from the third floor. In this sense, reality, four levels of dreams, plus limbo are each one floor.

Ah Bing ♨ Jiang Long Fu Hu
Do everyone think it is an open ending?
The film itself is a puzzle,
I think only one outcome, the outcome will have another problem on the logic movie,
the director does not publish the outcome precisely because the film itself is a puzzle
answer: ah, I am also inclined to think that the last gyro will fall Come down. But in fact, if it doesn't fall, it can still be fully explained. For example, Limbo has two layers, because the real structure of the dream is learned bit by bit from practice even the characters in the film, so there is no impossible. But that would be too boring.
