The plot walks between dreams and reality, and is defined as a "contemporary action science fiction film that takes place within the structure of consciousness." It tells the story of a dream maker played by Leonardo DiCaprio, leading a team of agents played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Alan Page to enter the dreams of others and steal secrets from the subconscious minds of others, And reshape the stories of others’ dreams.
The non-linear narrative film technique in "Inception" is most suitable for the presentation of the plot structure. The multiple dreams linked together have compiled a logically consolidated giant net. Nolan's trick in this work is that Everyone can understand the movie, but it makes people feel that "there are a thousand Hamlet in the eyes of a thousand readers".
Many people do not understand this movie because they do not understand "dreams" and they do not know what the essence of "dreams" is. To understand dreams, the best reading is Freud's "Analysis of Dreams". Freud's exposition of the essence of dreams is "the true expression of inner desire." In my opinion, dreams are a direct reflection of the truest desire deep in everyone's heart. In the film, there will be not only one layer of dreams, but also dreams in dreams, as well as three layers of dreams and four layers of dreams. Every time you go deep into the next level of dreams, the passing speed of perceiving time will be several times slower than the passing speed of real time. If you want to wake up from the next level of dreams, you must die or fall in the previous level of dreams. In fact, many brain-burning films are not so brain-burning, but the audience is too easy to be led into the mental quagmire set by the director.
