Even if it is as powerful as "Avatar", it was named as a god after it was released. But almost none of us have watched "Inception", it is already a work of God. It seems that after the success of "The Dark Knight", Nolan has transformed from a director to a worship leader, with some kind of spring brother attributes. But I don’t think it’s a good thing to do this to the film itself. The God-making movement that is not based on facts can be regarded as a kind of foolishness. "Inception" is still a film that was previously considered complicated and obscure. Although I think most reporters and editors didn't know the details of "Inception" before it was released, but most reports or introductions were highly exaggerated. The difficulty and obscurity of the film often implies that it is difficult to understand the film without sufficient intelligence. The reason for this report must be that the writer guessed "Inception" from Nolan's past films, and the "complexity" of a commercial blockbuster actually constitutes a tease to the audience, which naturally forms a way to attract the audience to watch. The propaganda effect of the film. I think this kind of exaggerated complexity and obscurity in advance is somewhat irresponsible-in fact, after watching the film, I think the complexity of "Inception" is the inverse of Nolan's film. The so-called complexity and obscurity of Nolan's works in the past came from two aspects. The first is the non-linear narrative that disrupted time and space in the past, from the beginning of "Follow" to the stunning world-wide "Fragment of Memories", and later to the culmination of "Fatal Magic". But in fact, Nolan's non-linear narrative only makes his movie look "cool", but it doesn't actually make the movie too obscure. For example, you may not realize that the narrative sequence of "Follow" is actually three paragraphs until you finish watching the film, but this does not affect your understanding of it at all. Even as in "Fatal Magic", the narrative structure has become so messy that it is difficult to clarify its structure, but it is not difficult to understand it. Few people have heard of people who did not understand "Fatal Magic", but I believe that few people can clearly explain its narrative structure. Nolan is very skillful at this point. For Nolan, nonlinear narrative is only to enhance expressiveness or simply to play cool, not to hinder the audience from understanding the plot. It seems that not many audiences can't understand Nolan's film because of the narrative structure. Nolan's "complex and obscure" on the other hand comes from the huge amount of information in the plot. Before "Inception", Nolan's three works were "Batman Birth", "Fatal Magic", and "Dark Knight" in sequence, and the amount of plot information of these three works is increasing. In these works, almost every bridge and every line promotes the plot. Especially when it comes to "The Dark Knight", I sometimes miss a few seconds inadvertently. In the picture, you may feel that the next segment is a bit awkward. If the whole story of a nearly three-hour work is like this, then the amount of information in the plot of the whole movie will definitely exceed most commercial movies of the same type. In other words, the plots of Nolan's recent works have become more and more "full". This is indeed a test for the audience's attention, but it can't be called "obscure." Because the way to deal with this kind of "obscure" is actually to concentrate more or watch it a few times, rather than requiring the audience to have a unique knowledge background or a special aesthetic angle to appreciate it. It can be said that Kubrick is obscure, and David Lynch is obscure, because the audience must have a unique knowledge background or aesthetic point of view to truly understand Kubrick and David Lynch (my "Muholland Road" Analysis is useless to truly understand David Lynch from an aesthetic point of view. I still can’t find a proper vocabulary to describe the beauty exuded by David Lynch’s mystery, but only when I feel that beauty can I Really understand David Lynch), but Nolan can't be said to be obscure, Nolan is "full."
