Due to his identity, Nolan has had high hopes since he started filming "Inception". He distanced himself from the mainstream tastes of Hollywood, and his early indie productions were brilliant and brainstorming. Now devoted to the production of blockbusters, Nolan is, after all, different from a porter who likes to repeat, and is indeed a true hero who preserves himself.
After watching the film, I have this question with many people - how can they not feel the passage of two and a half hours at all. Could it be that time was stretched the moment the movie started, and everyone fell into the dreamland of the second and third floors? How did Nolan make people not feel tired? The answer is the idea implantation in "Inception", which is commonly called indoctrination, and it is called brainwashing if it sounds bad. From the dream-in-dream at the beginning, the audience is forced to believe that the dream space can be opened, and other people can enter freely, and then share and commit crimes. Through the shocking dreams of designers and others, Nolan further explained this idea clearly. Obviously, Nolan knows what the audience is thinking too well, and he also has enough narrative ability to firmly grasp the audience. It is by no means as simple as burying a thunder at the beginning.
When Jesus was alive, he was not God. Only after the washing of time, the question of whether "Inception" is a masterpiece can be concluded. Maybe it can stand the test like Edith Piaf's singing. Maybe after three or five years, everyone will feel that today is just an exciting dream, like the no-brainer street racing and the snow battle in the film, the camera shakes, and the heart is beating. These completely genre-labeled scenes are indeed a major failure of "Inception", especially in the snow fortress. Some people are fortunate to say that those clips leave room for breathing and aftertaste, which is considered unintentional.
Nolan has managed to preserve some high-quality traditions, such as film shooting, using special effects photography as much as possible without special effects. The film expands the time and space of the film carrier, and the same period of time can be seconds, minutes, hours or even endless. Dreams in space are endlessly changeable, can start anywhere, allow multiple spaces to exist and connect to each other, and there are no false regulations. Such an idea has not been unheard of before, including in Hong Kong films and Japanese cartoons, but in the field of mainstream culture, "Inception" is indeed an amazing attempt. Let's just talk about those actors, even those lying on the hospital bed, all of them have a show.
Until the end, many people gradually understood that "Inception" can only be a dream, a dream belonging to Nolan. This is the initial personal inspiration, the boldest idea, and the biggest irony to the actors. Nolan secretly did bad things, leaving such a top problem that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, which is completely different from behaviors such as "there will be no ghosts" and deliberately leaving a tail for the sequel. In a word, when we dream, we all feel that the dream is real. When it comes to dream-making movies, the same is true. 【Southern Entertainment Weekly】
