Star rating: ★★★★★ It’s the same

if you don’t see spoilers before watching this movie. This is a movie that is not afraid of spoilers at all. Spoilers can even make people watch the movie better in the cinema. It allows you to better accept the foundational theory instilled by Christopher Nolan in advance. Nolan is still playing with the same high IQ this time. You don't expect to watch the movie once or twice to find out this theory. Loopholes. His greatness apart from this theory is the visual image full of imagination and creativity behind the theory. The director's powerful ability to implement details finally achieved unparalleled stimulating effects. Behind all of this, it is still a spy film in its bones. It is no wonder that some netizens describe it as the [Mission Impossible] version [Matrix]. This example is not very appropriate. It should be understood this way. [Mission Impossible] refers to the inner core of [Foundation], and [Matrix] refers to the advanced theory of Pirates. From this point of view, this example is not unreasonable. of. This spy story tends to the 007 Bond series in terms of action guidance. Many of the sections are where director Nolan pays tribute to his favorite Bond movie [Queen’s Secret Service]. In my opinion, [Foundation Laying] is more like a movie. The sci-fi version of the 007 movie.

The director instilled this inception theory in the first half of the film. The theory divides the dream into six layers. If the so-called real world is the first layer at the beginning of the film, the dream from the first to the third layer is a little girl. Ariadne, played by Alan Page, was designed by the architectural prodigy. The fourth layer of dreams was designed by Cobb himself, and the last layer is Lost Domain. To enter the first level of dreams, you need to take general drugs, and to enter the next level of dreams, you need to take intensive drugs. People who have been active in N can affect the people on N+1 level. If you want to wake up the people on N level, you must pull on the N+1 level. If you shock the sleeping person on the N level and the person on the N+1 level at the same time Active traction can also wake up the people of N+1 level activities. If you die in a dream, you will enter the lost domain where your memory is weakened or even lost, and if you die in the lost domain, you will return to the real world again.

In the dream world, time is lengthened indefinitely by multiples of 12 times. For example, the first time Ariadne came to the first dream with Cobb, Ariadne felt that he had talked with Cobb for an hour, but in the real world it was just 5 minutes. The first dream is very shallow and it is a city with a lot of passers-by. The second dream is a hotel with relatively few people. The third dream is a fortress on a vast snow mountain. The fourth dream is a city designed by Kaobo himself. Like ruins, no one, the fifth layer of Lost Domain has nothing but bits and pieces left by the predecessors, not controlled by anyone. These spoiler theories have no effect on the pleasure of watching movies except for helping the audience to distinguish between dreams, because these theories are all affected and reflected in the plot, and they are deformed.

The visual effects of this film are great. The first layer of dreams is the gunfight of the street in the rain, which is common in the [Dark Knight], and the second layer of dreams is like the weightlessness of space in [2001: A Space Odyssey] plus the American song and dance king Fred. ?Astairs fighting on the ceiling, the third level of dreams is like fighting a fortress on the vast Japanese snow-capped mountains at the beginning of [The Mystery of Xia Ying], the fourth level of dreams is the ruins version of the first level of dreams In the seaside version, the fifth layer of Lost Domain is like a mixture of Surrealism and Impressionism. Coupled with the mutual influence and restriction between the dreamland and the dreamland, the intense shooting scenes, fierce editing, multi-line sequels, and imaginative scenes, which cannot be expressed by spoilers, this requires the audience to go personally. Look. It will always make people feel like they are watching a real movie!

Speaking of the plot, I want to start with this ending that has been turned into an open-ended by many people. First of all, the gyro is a small gadget left by the wife of Pirates of Dreams engineer Kao Bo. It is used to distinguish reality from dreams. The gyro shows reality, but dreams. At the end of the film, the director didn't tell you that the spinning top had fallen down, and we don't know whether the world Cobb returned to is a reality or a dream. This is related to Cobb’s wife Miaoer played by the shadow Marion Cotillard who often makes trouble in the film. Miaoer, who is also a Pirates engineer, wants to be in love with Cobb forever. Reality is not as good as no time for her. The concept of the lost domain or the infinite time is magnified in the fourth level of dreams. For the children, the couple returned to the real world, and Miao'er represented the part that finally suspected that reality was actually another layer of dreams. Miao'er who couldn't distinguish between reality and dream committed suicide, creating the illusion that her husband Cobb killed . There is more than one Miao'er, I believe that many people will want to distinguish between reality and dreams just like Miao'er. Some people think that if Miao'er died in the real world, she would always appear in Cobb's dreams later, and she came out to make trouble and shot and killed the target character, Robert Fei, played by Slyan Murphy in the third dream. The shadow of the house. Could it be that in the real world you will live in a dream after death? This reminds me of Leonardo DiCaprio’s "Island". The detective played by Di Laprio has also been seeing his dead wife Michelle Williams out of the illusion to make trouble. , The two things in common should be out of the husband’s love and regret for his wife. Miaoer should exist in Kaobo's memory, so Miaoer will be familiar with Kaobo's plans and dreams, and better come out to make trouble. This should have nothing to do with Miaoer's living in the dream. Such an explanation seems to indicate that the top at the end of the film will fall. As for the end, it’s still not falling and Nolan will explain it himself later.

But as far as the plot of the film is concerned, it's like a [Mission Impossible] or a Bond movie. Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a top Pirate engineer who can enter others To steal trade secrets. Humans can resist these foreign invasions. The film was stolen at the beginning because the staff failed to gang up. The Japanese rich man Saito (Watanabe Ken) had to hire Kabo for another task, Robert Fei Jr., the son of a giant businessman. She (Slyan Murphy) had the idea of ​​reorganizing his company’s assets in his mind. The conditions he offered made Cobb unable to refuse: After the incident, he called to settle Cobb’s US wanted order so that he could reunite with his children. End the escape life overseas.

Cobb began to assemble people, and Pirates experts all appeared: long-term partner Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt); Deception master Eames (Tom Hardy); Chemistry expert Uther (Dilly Plau), and The newcomer Ariadne (Eileen Page), before Cobb also specially greeted his father-in-law (Michael Caine). And all this happened from the first-class cabin of a 747, so a group of people entered the dream state, and the implantation of consciousness required the completion of the third dream state. The chemistry expert stayed in the first dream to lead the way, Arthur stayed in the second dream, and then they entered the third dream, but the target person was shot and killed by Miao Er (Marion Cotillard), so Cobb and Ali Adne decided to enter the fourth layer of dream traction to make Fisher sober in the third layer of dreams. Finally, the task was finally completed successfully. Except for Saito and Cobb who died and went to Lost Domain, the others returned to the real world safely. Of course, what is even more exciting is that there are dazzling fierce gun battles, large doses of blasting, and gravity-free traction in each layer of dreams.

Believe me, spoilers are not at all lethal to such a film supported by visual effects and imagination. The excitement of [Foundation Laying] is that you watch it in person. The shock is that you can't imagine it with words alone, such as It is said that the streets of Paris are completely curved and parallel. The car in the first layer of dreams rolls 360 degrees and the people in the second layer of dreams are also doing 360-degree tumbling fights. You can imagine yourself first, and then go to the cinema to verify the results yourself. , You only know the fun, and you will agree with the view that spoilers will not affect the pleasure of watching the film in the least.

Don't be obsessed with spoilers. Spoilers are not the same as you think. After watching the spoilers, you will go to the movies with the mindset of the spoilers you have seen. Everything seems to make sense. But if you go to the movies first, and then watch the analysis, you will think about the difference between this and your understanding. After all, the so-called spoilers are also the thinking of others, and they are not completely correct.

correct!
