1. About Inception
Quote: "What's the most resilient parasite? An Idea."
Everything a human individual does, whether it is instinctive or subjectively dominated, stems from the flash of an idea in the heart. This idea stems from experience, coupled with instinctive catalysis, sows the seeds of behavior in the brain, and ultimately produces a variety of complex behaviors. And all experiences, good or bad, will produce seeds, but not every seed will germinate. When we are awake, we live in the sunshine of reason, leading our thinking to thrive, making most of us grow into "normal people" meeting social standards. But this does not mean that there are no other "alien" seeds in our brains. All seeds produced by experience have left traces in our subconscious mind. Imagine that after the sensible sun goes down, it is a dark night with reckless behavior. It is difficult to tell which seed will germinate first.
Therefore, dreams give all kinds of subconscious minds and all seeds an equal arena where they can flex their muscles, regardless of the consequences. Desire, fear, inspiration, desire, justice, evil... all kinds of things that will not happen in real life, have not happened yet, have already happened, as long as they are derived from our experience and instinct, they may be infinitely chaotic, misty and even creative. The form is "realized" (I believe everyone has had similar experiences). And the most important thing is that at the moment the dream occurs, we are fully engaged, even if we sometimes know it is a dream, we can't understandably empathize with ourselves...laughing, suffering, screaming and awakening...
since human experience and instinct Give the subconscious mind, and the subconscious mind gives dreams. Then, can you do the other way around, first give the dreams, make them subconscious, and then guide his behavior... Inception "foundation" is what this means... The dreams in the movie are actually all kinds of An infinitely enlarged version of consciousness, and what the thieves have to do this time is to find out the subconscious they need, read, guide, distort, but not tamper with...
This is why I think this is a psychological problem: to what extent does the psychology, especially the subconscious mind, affect human behavior. Reason directly guides human behavior, and the power of the subconscious is strong enough: we have all experienced the positive and negative effects of psychological cues, various depressions, suicides in various situations, various personality splits... When a certain subconscious may have When it infects the entire brain in one day, you can't ignore its power.
2. Nolan's "old routine"
stepped out of the cinema. The first thing I thought about was that Memento (2000) "Memory Fragment" is actually called Inception, although it is a bit spoiler. Looking back at Nolan’s non-Batman movies I’ve seen, namely Memento (2000) "Memories" and The Prestige (2006) "Fatal Magic", Nolan seems to have been fascinated by the complexity of human consciousness and their conflicting behaviors. Influence.
The short-term memory dysfunction of the protagonist in "Memory Fragment" is actually forcing him to compress short-term experience into an abstract or simple reminder, or vague subconscious mind, to guide his behavior. You will be surprised to find it There are inexhaustible connections and huge contrasts; there are various mappings in "Fatal Magic". Out of obsession with magic, you can commit suicide several times and make huge sacrifices; a dual character of identity; and one of the most interesting scenes: the magician’s cage is closed one by one, the pigeon disappears, and the adults stand up and applaud. The child said that the pigeon was dead. The secret of magic is that people believe it is magic...
3. The subconscious mind is our enemy
I remember seeing a story about "Monkeys in the Himalayas". It is said that a village is very poor. A wandering monk felt sympathy for the people’s misery, so he taught them a spell that can automatically grow crops on the ground. After teaching, the monk said, "This spell is very useful, but Remember, you should never think of "monkeys on the Himalayas" when chanting a mantra. But what's bad is that after the monk left, all villagers who chanted the mantra remembered the "monkeys on the Himalayas" without exception. The spell never succeeded. However, the people are still very poor. Although it is a very nonsensical connection, it eventually forms a lingering psychological suggestion. If it is closely connected with personal experience, the influential subconscious will make it difficult for me to distinguish True or false, or difficult to extricate...
According to my feelings, most of the subconscious is negative: fear, suspicion, guilt, tension, desire, laziness, doubt... Maybe the positive consciousness is easily carried forward by us, so the negative Thoughts are thrown into the cold palace of the subconscious, waiting for opportunities...If the previous sentence is true, it is not too much to say that the subconscious is our enemy, it is the part of the self we are trying to hide. We are always fighting against our subconscious. , positive influence to dominate our lives. when the subconscious difficult to suppress, began to dominate, it is often what we call mental illness while psychiatrist to do, it is just by rational analysis, to help patients control the subconscious ...
on As repeated in the movie, What's the most resilient parasite? An idea. Once he has a certain idea, he may infect every inch of the brain like a parasite, and it is deeply rooted as if he was born with it.
4. Shared experience the identity and number of vulnerabilities
, although this is not a 3D movie, really a four-dimensional movie, mainly in terms of the meaning of time and space. equivalent to enter into the dream another time. movie about two concepts of time and space, I am fully A sense of identity (I don’t know if there is a scientific basis):
1. When you enter a dream, time will be magnified
I remember when I was in high school, my deskmate slept in class, lay on my stomach for a few minutes, suddenly sat up and asked me: "How long did I sleep?" When I was lying in bed, I pressed the stop alarm for the first time and went into a state of confusion again. At times, dreams are often chaotic and complicated. After experiencing a series of events, I suddenly wake up and realize that it has only been a few minutes...
The explanation given in the film is that the subconscious mind of the dreamer is more active, so the time in actual life It will be magnified a lot in dreams...
However, this setting involves many specific plots in the film, and some seem to be unclear. I am the kind of person who will be very confused if the story is not rigorous, so these places make me very entangled. Go back to the spoiler post and discuss it again...
2. The sensory experience in reality will be expressed in the dream in another form that fits the dream...
Once I turned over in my sleep and my whole face was pressed on the pillow... So I didn't know in the dream. How come I got into the sea by boat, and then I fell into the sea and couldn't breathe... Just when I thought I was going to drown, I woke up... Everyone should have a similar experience. It’s impossible for the brain to start conceiving the story of transporting me to the sea before my face overwhelms the pillow. What surprises me is that it can complete all the preparations in an instant (time is stretched), and then accurately reflect that I am in the real world. Sensory...
PS. Before looking at the high score of 9.6/10 on IMDB, MrDark said that it should not be too difficult to understand, otherwise it is so high. I agree. But now it should be a movie that was quite tangled when it was watched. Some viewers on IMDB were unhappy after watching it and asked Nolan to refund the ticket. So, I really sweat for its 200 million cost, and I hope the box office will be higher...
PPS. Leonardo DiCaprio went to Shutter island at the beginning of the year, and now there is such an Inception, I am really worried about the split of personality...
