When I came out of the theater, I was secretly glad that this was a very cost-effective viewing. I recall that in the process of watching, the quality of the audience in the theater has generally improved. Maybe I was really attracted by this movie. There was almost no situation of answering the phone and talking loudly. Of course, I was more absorbed and experienced. every detail in the film. In this way, I would like to try to express some relatively personal perspectives beyond the film profession:
First, the greatest possibility of combining "entertainment" and "inner exploration".
Film is a kind of comprehensive art. Its function is destined to become the master of various art forms since its birth. It can make the second creation between the audience and the director smooth and silent. A brilliant director can present a platform to the audience, and a brilliant director will throw out a brick with great texture. As for whether it can elicit the inner jade of the audience, 80% depends on the inner richness of the audience itself, and 20% depends on whether the director's inspiration can fit the current time and space.
In this time and space, more people began to explore within, more people began to think independently, and more people began to reflect and return to their own minds (of course, this can be traced back to the blueprint planning of higher life design). More and more people are beginning to discover that the entertainments with which we are familiar do not give us real satisfaction. Because they are out of resonance and reverberation with our inner condition, it is just a single sensory stimulus or an accumulation of the mind.
Since the vigorous "MATRIX" more than ten years ago, there are very few public art works that can be positioned as the perfect combination of "entertainment" and "inner exploration". In MATRIX, when the new world view system is presented in an entertaining interface, it naturally becomes the propellant for the evolution of the entire era. "INCEPTION" is also a part of these propellants, but honestly, "INCEPTION" is not more groundbreaking than the world view system of "MATRIX", but the rigorous interpretation and rich imagination of dreams are enough to arouse the audience's inner feelings Full of passion, and has the greatest possibility to borrow the film to look back on itself.
Randomly list several important elements for the review of the film:
"THE SHADE" (shadow) - the film has made a deep psychological analysis on the character setting, and the audience can resonate with the evolution of the plot on an emotional level , which is a communication with the "shadow" within itself. "Subconsciousness is based on emotion, not mind", this is a line of dialogue in the film, which makes the structure of the whole film extremely rigorous. Whether we can see that our own behavior is affected by shadows-subconsciousness-emotions every moment, and whether we can find our own emotional attribution and conduct autonomous Inception. No matter ancient or modern, many spiritual teachers have a similar sharing: "You are the world." That is to say, what we are, what can we see, a small thought is the beginning of our thinking , is an Inception, the impression that every life around us gives us, is it not the projection of our own subconscious? I say I love you because my shadow coincides with yours, and you say you love me because you have cast a shadow of love that coincides with me for so long. . . The tangled main line of the protagonist COBB and his wife expands our overall vision of the contradictions of love: the eternity and innocence of emotion in the deep layer, and the discontinuity and distortion in the surface layer are all keys that can provide us with the key to our own emotional home. . In addition, the deep communication between the rich second generation and the shadow of their own family in the main mission line is even more in line with the spirit of the times - that is, to break through the constraints of one's own genetic mind, find the true sovereignty of oneself, and have no guilt for the ancestors.
"KICK" (crossing) - Chinese into crossing, the meaning is quite in place. The movie gives a metaphor, this is a very powerful refreshing style, which generally cannot be completed by oneself. If suicide is a metaphor for the complete denial of one's own masked personality, then "KICK" (transmigration) will tell another truth: if you want to wake up from a big dream, you must have a level of sobriety higher than yourself, and always pay attention to yourself. A friend of mine, wake up the sleeping self at that level, this is the importance of a good teacher and friend in our life. Looking back at this law, we will find a good friend who can wake up the sleeping self at the upper level in time, or At just the right time to wake up those we thought were sleeping. . .
"TOTEM" (Totem) - In the logic of the film, the totem is a concealment derived from the shadow, which has strong privacy and is also the only ruler to measure the waking world and the dream realm, but there is another metaphor here, We can use this to look back: If Shadow did not invent totems and teach the utility of totems, how should they refer to them? Are we still constrained by the shadows and unaware of ourselves? ! In other words, the totem is a reference, but only a reference. When we have become accustomed to relying on something (totem) to distinguish the authenticity, does it just mean that we have lost our original intuition and instinct. . . ?
"SHORTCUT" (shortcut) - when it comes to shortcuts, we must mention the maze. The maze and shortcuts are relative elements. Human beings are creatures that prefer complexity. We can see how everyone likes to be cocooned and enjoy it. The already disordered state of existence continues to create new mazes. Of course, the meaning of retrospection lies in whether we have seen all this, and deeply understand that all actions at this level are creating new mazes. See, see clearly, that's the shortcut. In the film, the characters who know the shortcut to the dream maze are: the dream master, the dream builder, and the shadow (again, the trinity). Only the three naturally merge into the shortcut, that is to say, only we are both the dream master and the dream maker at the same time. Only when we can face the shadow directly can we truly discover the positive meaning of dreams, design the blueprint of dreams in a real sense, and find the real organization. . .
Second, the concept movie.
There are a few concept movies that I have watched and found to be good, such as the retrospective concept played in "Lola Run" and "Butterfly Effect", the concept of fractal time played in "Pulp Fiction", and the "Being John Malkovich" played in "Being John Malkovich". The concept of "first-person soul body", the "ultra-low-cost" concept played in "This Man From Earth", etc., of course, these are not as good as the "MATRIX" mentioned above, which not only plays the concept but also makes money at the box office. The concept system of "MATRIX" is self-contained. Today, "INCEPTION" obviously has not surpassed the pure height of "MATRIX" in concept, but it has a breadth that "MATRIX" cannot reach.
It starts from two parts: 1. Fractal art, vertical time axis and multi-dimensional nesting space; 2. Consciousness structure model, implantation principle and game theory. These are the concepts I can see from it. And the overall sense of the film is very strong, not messy, but a natural integration of these concepts.
In the first half, I basically talked about fractal art in my school art class, but I want to focus on the next two concepts. Vertical timeline and multi-dimensional nesting space: It is not difficult to understand children's shoes familiar with soft science fiction, but this film seems to be the first time to present the concept of "vertical timeline = synchronicity" in the form of a movie. It is difficult to express this concept. Nolan can grasp it so well without giving people the feeling of being tricked. It is not easy. First of all, regarding the synchronicity of events, we use the dream level to connect them in series, and use the language of the lens to cause the transformation of different time scales, condensing them into one point, and giving the audience a strong sense of "now", which is completely too late to be distracted. Secondly, the multiple changes of multiple dreams on the vertical time axis are completely consistent with dream analysis or psychological prototypes, and the audience has more or less psychological experience. In fact, various versions of mythology also have hints: one day in the gods, one hundred years in the human world. . . Various ancient traditions and modern sciences even directly point out the delusion and relativity of time. It is a product of linear psychology. The scale of the sense of time can be completely determined by the state of human consciousness. A comparison of the trapped index and the freedom index of consciousness. The multi-dimensional nesting space is originally a relatively old-fashioned concept of traditional science fiction with the theme of time travel, but its combination with the vertical time axis seems to have new vitality, and it also naturally achieves unity with the concept of fractals (traditional time travel). Once a movie of the theme uses the multi-dimensional nesting space, there will be confusion of the ontology, which is the grandfather paradox, but this time the multi-dimensional nesting space is logically grafted with the vertical time axis, and the ontology is not confusing at a glance. With the effect of fractal art, Nolan Wizards too!).
The second half of the consciousness structure model, implantation principle and game theory belong to the relatively microscopic category. Since the things involved are too professional, I can only point to it: the subconscious can not be fully understood by human beings so far, and it has great concealment. And unmeasurable, but one point has been gradually proved - the reason why the subconscious mind is hidden and unmeasurable is precisely because the consciousness is overactive, which suppresses it. Dreams, in fact, there can be no boundaries between the subconscious and the conscious, but for most people, it takes years of training. In the final sense of the structure of consciousness, dreams and reality are completely one. You can say that at this moment You are dreaming, but only if you fully understand your subconscious. The end of the film gave the audience an open mind, has COBB reached the highest level of dreaming? It's a matter of opinion! The concept of implantation comes from the title of the film, which is the theme of the film, but I personally think that this idea is not original by Nolan, but he made it more intuitive through the film. It can be seen from the text that the concept of implantation integrates the information of future artificial intelligence. It involves the emergence of a premise, that is, the human brain sharing network (not the current computer sharing network), of course, the computer sharing network (Internet) is this A transitional version of the premise, evolution in this sense may have already been designed on Earth, and forward-looking friends should agree. "MATRIX" is unsurpassable to a certain extent, and it is precisely that it first presents the implantation and theft with the concept of hackers. Implantation is only possible on a shared platform, that is, the implementer and the target must have the same blueprint at some level, that is, the intersection of interests, in order for the implantation to be a natural occurrence rather than an imposition event. This also involves the use of the essence of "non-cooperative game theory" in the main task line of the film: using the interface of incomplete information, clarify the income destination of both parties, and use the method of fulfilling the other party's income destination to achieve the achievement of its own income destination. . The irony is that this seemingly simple "non-cooperative game" task eventually developed into a complex "cooperative game" in the film, the unity of the implementer and the target, the blueprint of the opponent and the team are the same The implanter became the implanted person at the same time, so that the main line of the task and the main line of shadows completed their respective Inceptions at the same time. I think this may be the biggest highlight of the film, although it's not so vivid in my personal sense.
Three, INCEPTION, a blueprint of positive emotions and those that can be shared.
The film is a catalyst. Looking at it, our own historical situation is nothing more than the implantation and implantation of various versions. It seems that we have never understood what we really need. We want to choose positive and beautiful emotions. But we are pulled by inexplicable negative emotions. We want to gain insights, but we are still led by the well-dressed elites. We want to have health, but we are buried in the whirlpool of food and medicine in swaddling infants. We want to have freedom, but Fall victim to each other's killing in the nationalism of various politicians. . . Old-fashioned dreams kept us entangled with each other for a long period of time in a contest of self-fake masked personalities.
Today's earth consciousness has been divided into two poles - the old, those who rely on the concept of survival to survive, the human beings that focus on the material level, and the new ones, who live by exploring for the purpose, and the human beings that focus on the spiritual level. In fact, this differentiation has become more and more obvious since the 1970s, and the latter has penetrated into all levels of society, starting from the cultural and artistic level, then to technology, and finally to the integration of politics and religion. That is to say, the collective INCEPTION has already begun on a large time scale. When our consciousness begins to pay more attention and is attracted to this information, new dreams, new dreamers, new blueprints have been presented, When we talk about the vindication of Nikola Tesla, when we interpret the Camelot project, when we listen to DAVID WILLCOCK's speech, when we discover the positive, positive emotions that COBB advocates in the film. The layers of new dreams are naturally open to us.
And the last thing I want to say is: It is necessary to divide the boundaries. If you are already living in this time and space, please listen to your inner voice. He will guide you to stay away from the old ones, those who rely on survival concepts to survive, and prefer material things. The mode of the level, and find the new version of yourself that lives through exploration for the purpose of focusing on the spiritual level. We are all dreamers, our future will have a great blueprint, and we will share with each other in beautiful emotions. If you see these words at this moment, and at the same time maintain a low-key attitude towards life, I think it is no accident. , this will be an INCEPTION within you, no, it's mine too :)
