The dialogue between old saito and cobb at the beginning of the film is not the same as the dinner held by little saito afterwards. The part of old saito ended with cobb going to limbo to rescue him, while the dinner of little saito was saito’s dream, in which cobb was sent by cobol engineering to steal saito’s secrets. Saito told them afterwards that in fact, he was auditing them during the stolen memory. At that time, the architect failed to pass the test and was screened, but Cobb and Arthur passed, so Saito was hired to complete the inception task. They needed a new team, so Cobb went to France, found ariadne, a new architect from his father-in-law, went to Africa to find the genius forger eames, and got a specially formulated sedative from chemist yusef.
Saito hired Cobb to complete the task of fischer inception, the heir to his commercial rival, which caused the opponent's oil kingdom to collapse. And promised to help him clear all previous charges after the incident, so that he can smoothly pass through customs and return to his home in the United States. It is a pity that Saito died in a dream during the mission, entered the limbo, and gradually lost consciousness and grew old there, so that at the beginning, cobb went to limbo to find him and brought him back, so that he can honor the agreement.
My favorite forger!
The favorite character in the film is forger eames, he is forger in his life and in his dreams.
First of all, in Africa, he obviously lost at the gambling table, but went to the window to exchange a bunch of chips for money. Cobb stood and said, "You still can't spell it." I didn't understand it the first time, and I figured it out the second time. These chips were actually made by eames. Cobb found a spelling error on the chip and came to this conclusion.
Then in the dream, eames was on the first floor, where he kidnapped Fischer, transformed into his godfather mr brownings, pretended to be threatened by torture, and then followed Fischer's words. For this reason, he also approached Uncle Brownings to learn his character before. On the second floor, the old man is no longer eames, but a projection of fischer's subconscious mind. But in the bar on the hotel floor, eames turned into a blonde girl to strike up a conversation with Fischer, and left him the number set on the first floor as a phone call, which made Fischer more believe in the theory that Cobb had instilled in him. Before
Cobb and Mal passed
, Cobb and his wife tried the limits of dreams, got to limbo, built their own world there (this cobb said to a), and grew old (cobb told him about limbo after he was injured on the first floor of saito In the matter of become an old man full of regret). Cobb finally realized that something was wrong and advised Mal to come back together, but she had slowly forgotten the reality and accepted the status quo in limbo for too long, so Cobb made an inception to his wife for the first time, making her realize that she was living in a dream and must pass Only death can return to reality, so the two commit suicide and return to reality. Unfortunately, the idea implanted in inception is deeply ingrained (cobb calls it the most powerful parasite in the world), causing mal to think that the real world is also a dream, and in order to wake up again. After committing suicide, he really died this time, so Cobb felt guilty for it. It was his inception that killed his wife.
About limbo
Use ordinary sedatives to share dreams with others, as long as you die, you can wake up. If you want to share deeper dreams with others, you have to use the powerful sedative specially made by chemist. In this case, if you die, you will enter limbo, such as fischer and saito. In limbo, human consciousness may be eliminated, making people in reality a vegetative state. At the same time, the age in limbo will also get older, although in reality it may only have been a long time. Limbo is a shared place, it is invisible, unless the dreamer has been there before, such as cobb. Cobb is in the shape, so ariadne and cobb linked through dream machine and fischer entered the limbo once built by cobb.
Whose dream is it?
In Inception’s position, all three-tier dream architects are ariadne
. The host on the first floor is yusef. The host on the
second floor of the hotel is arthur. The host on the
third floor in the snowy area is the eames
host. the general structure had a dream, and they can be appropriately changed dreams
the dreamer is not down to the lower layer, that layer must continue to go on in the dream, and finally had to be responsible for Kick Sync
fischer projected onto each layer of subconscious perfect dream, let fischer thought it was in his dream
in fact, there are other ways to determine who dream
first, though roughly constructed in advance architect dreams are good, but the dreamer may affect only their own consciousness. For example, the first layer, yusef urinary urgency, caused heavy rain throughout the dream. Arthur on the second floor modified the stairs to deal with fischer's subconscious defense. The third layer of eames is to gain time to get through the exhaust pipe shortcut.
In addition, after yusef put the earphones on the dreamer Arthur on the next floor, the whole hotel rang music. Arthur puts on earphones for eames again, so everyone in the snowy area in his dream heard the music.
Third, dreamers cannot go down to the next level, such as being active in their dreams to keep their dreams going. So yusef has been driving on the first floor, not down to the second floor. Arthur has been in the hotel. eames is the only one on the third floor that hasn't gone down.
inception plan designed to be very sophisticated
kidnapping of the first layer, the purpose seems to be the combination, but in fact is designed for safe implant the forger's idea, safe fischer hidden in the most intimate part of my heart. This layer also found that Fischer had received anti-theft training, so an army was projected to protect his subconscious from being stolen. The father's dying words and 6 digits are in hand, and enter the next level.
The second layer of cobb reminds Fischer that this is his dream and that he is his projection, in order to protect his subconscious from being stolen, to gain his trust and mislead his memory. Fischer believed it. The numbers 528 and 491 set out on the first floor were projected into the upper and lower room numbers of the hotel in the dream. At the same time, it also projected the uncle godfather browning who insisted on inheriting his father’s business, and a conversation took place in the room. This is fischer's inner struggle, he has already started to shake under the provocation of Cobb, and therefore agrees to Cobb's proposal to enter the dream of browning, in fact it is not the uncle's dream.
The third layer of snow-covered fortress hides fischer's inner secret safety, so the security is particularly strict. Inside the safe is the dying father, and what he said was set out by eames becoming browning on the first floor. Use the combination to open the safe. The windmill inside is also in the photo of the father and son in the fischer wallet that was stolen on the first floor. After the first level kick, fischer and eames turned browning and swam ashore. Fischer said that he finally understood that his father did not want him to be the same person as himself. This is exactly the small idea, inception, designed by eames and their meetings before, that needed implants. Done successfully.
The subtlety of the design of the Inception plan is also reflected in the perfect synchronized kick that
uses sedative to enter the dream dream. If you want to wake up, you must go from the bottom to the top.
Since the time progress of each dream is different, timing is very important. For this reason, they remind everyone of the kick time by playing music, and also designed a perfect synchronized kick.
In the limbo on the bottom floor, ariadne pushed Fischer downstairs first. During the free fall, the eames on the third floor gave him a kick with the hospital’s CPR machine to wake him up on the third floor and use the rest. Time to enter safe to complete the task. It is reasonable to say that ariadne can give him a shot to wake him directly in reality, but in this way he cannot return to the third floor to complete the task of Inception. Ariadne knows that suicide in limbo can be directly returned to reality, but maybe the director does not want the audience to be so sure whether they are in a deeper dream or Limbo, so she chooses to jump to waking up one layer after another. Also in the process of falling downstairs, she was kicked awake in the snowy layer by the explosion designed by eames on the third floor. After the explosion, the snowy bunker began to collapse, causing another weightless fall. At this time, the explosion designed by arthur on the second floor gave eames, ariadne and fischer a kick, causing them to wake up on the hotel floor. At the same time, the shock wave from the explosion on the second floor caused the elevator to fall. At this moment, the car on the first floor just entered the water and provided a kick to wake everyone up on the first floor, so the fischer, ariadne, eames, who woke up layer by layer, Both arthur and the host yusef on the first floor escaped from the car and landed, waiting for the end of the sedative drug effect in reality to wake up.
In fact, the above are all backup plans. The entire inception has a lot of problems and missed the kick originally planned. It was originally planned that on the first floor, yusef would park on the bridge, and when the time came to crash, provide a kick, and then when the car fell off the bridge free fall, it would provide a kick in reality to wake everyone up. Unexpectedly, the first layer was heavily guarded, and the defending pursuit made Yuusef's car have to jump off the bridge, but the people below were not ready to wake up at that time, so they missed the knock. The free fall of this layer is gone, but fortunately there is a backup of sedative timer in reality.
Originally planned to be on the second floor, arthur installed explosives on the roof of room 491 under Room 528 where everyone fell asleep, so that after the explosion provided a kick, everyone would fall downstairs freely. But because I missed the kick on the first floor, the car was in a weightless state on the first floor, which caused the entire hotel on the second floor to lose gravity. There can be no free fall without external force, so arthur had to change his plan and tie everyone up for delivery. Go to the elevator, cut off the rope of the elevator, push the elevator downstairs through the shock wave of the bomb, provide kick and fall.
I have to say that everything is designed and completed to perfection! !
Meaning When I
looked at it for the second time, I found that two sentences appeared many times, one was take a leap of faith (saito and mal), and the other was become an old man full of regret (saito and cobb).
Cobb almost lost his true self in limbo, left his real-world child, and was sentenced to mal. In short, he did not take a leap of faith and became an old man full of regret in limbo.
Saito guarantees that after Cobb completes the mission on the helicopter, he can help him go home to see the child. But after entering limbo, he slowly lost consciousness like cobb back then, failed to fulfill his promise, and gradually grew old in regret. On the contrary, Cobb fully trusted his teammates and saito, took a leap of faith under very uncertain circumstances, completed the task, and went to limbo to find saito, and gave him the opportunity to go back to honor the agreement together, change back to a young man and start again. So finally everyone woke up on the plane, Cobb and the others completed their task, Saito immediately dialed the phone, and Cobb was able to reunite with the children.
Through this mission, both parties have learned to trust each other and rescued each other from the regret and were able to be reborn.
What's interesting is that Fischer finally concluded that he should not follow his father's step. Father wants to be who he is, so that he will not be disappointed.
So I think the significance of this movie is to stay true to the choices you made deep in your heart, resist external pressure, and don't deceive yourself, so that you won't be old and regretful.

Thank you for your replies and text messages. After reading everyone's discussion, I found that there are several issues that need to be explained in more detail.
For students who have questions about whose dreams are, they may confuse dream, subconscious, projection, dreamer/host, etc. The Chinese can be translated into dreaming, so they will be confused.
Back to foundation 101. First of all, architect (here is ariadne) builds the framework of dreams, such as hotel snowy areas.
Then, cobb they brought the subject into a dream, where the subject is fischer.
It’s very important to come down again, subject fill the dream with their subconscious, that is, let Fischer fill his subconscious into the dream built by others in advance, and the subconscious projection is the passerby in the dream, the room number, and other details, but he is not dreamer or dream host. A very simple example, in the second inception training of cobb and ariadne, although it is ariadne's dream, she can transform the dream world at will, but the passers-by in the dream are all subconscious projections of cobb.
After understanding the basics, let's look at the most controversial issue, whose dream is the snowy area. Many people quoted that before entering the snowy layer, ariadne asked Cobb whose dream we would enter next, and Cobb said Fischer's. In fact, the original words were that ariadne asked who we would enter into the subconscious next. Cobb said that it was the subconscious of fischer, but did not say that we entered the dream of fischer.
The dreamer or host in the snowy area is the eames planned before. In addition to the judgment method mentioned in the original text, after entering, cobb said something like "eames is the dreamer of this layer, is there any shortcut to it." Some
people have proposed Said that if it weren't for Fischer's dream, how could there be so many resisters. First, those who understand the above theory will find that those who resist are just subconscious projections of fischer. Second, if you still don’t agree, let’s take a look at what happened to the resisters.
Back to foundation 101. The second inception training of cobb and ariadne, ariadne is the dreamer, cobb is the subject, and the subject brings his subconscious into the dream, projecting out the projection of passers-by such as mal.
Cobb said that when subconsciou realizes that he is in someone else's dream, projection will begin to be xenophobic. When ariadne made an unconventional transformation of the dream, such as turning over the city's changing stairs, cobb's subconscious began to attack her collectively because they discovered that this world was created by ariadne.
ariadne asked, will they attack you? Cobb said no. They will only attack the dreamer they think, until they kill him to eliminate the dream.
This is why the foundation laying requires an excellent architect to build a similar Infinite loop, in order to prevent the subject from discovering the strangeness and find themselves in the dreams of others, otherwise they will destroy the dreamer at all costs and wake them up if they have a little doubt.
In this way, the fischer who brought an army to resist the Pirates team is definitely not a dreamer, but a subject.
Of course , Fischer ’s situation is quite special. He has received training in Pirates, so he does not need to feel abnormal and brings resistance who is as strong as an army. NS. This also caused Cobb to use mr charles on him.
The so-called mr charles trick is cobb persuading Fischer to be Fischer's subconscious projection, called Charles. The advantage of this is that fischer will think that Cobb and them are in a gang, so that you can listen to Cobb and deal with fischer's real projection, which is the browning in the hotel (let Fischer transfer the hatred of his father to browning, so that Make up the father-son relationship at the lower level). The disadvantage is that fischer's subconscious finds that he is in someone else's dream, which is why all the people in the hotel started to pay attention to the Inception team at that moment. But because Cobb persuaded Fischer to be a group at the time, they were temporarily relieved. However, because he knew that he was in someone else's dream, Fischer's subconscious projection had been trying to find the dreamer, so after the occurrence of arthur's play.
