Chapter 994: Dreamland (Part 1)

New York, a luxury movie theater near Grand Central Station.

In the No. 2 theater of the ordinary screen, there are full audiences.

After "Avatar", it is a day when every blockbuster will transcribe some 3D copies later, but "Inception" does the opposite and does not occupy the IMAX theater. The reason is that CG shots are not the mainstream of the film. mirror.

Soon, the lights dimmed and the screen came on.

......

"Leo!"

As soon as the film started, there was a commotion in the audience.

The screams of several female fans made some viewers who just wanted to enjoy a movie slightly annoyed.

on the screen.

Xiao Lizi was wearing a gray jacket and fell at a loss on the beach, and then the picture stretched forward. The man seemed to see a pair of children playing on the beach in a trance. Turning his head, the man passed out.

The camera turns to the rear, and a guard with a gun comes over and leads the unconscious man to a Japanese-style house not far away.

After the man was put in, an old man with a wrinkled face sat on the seat.

The old man was very puzzled and asked if the man came to kill him. He also said that he knew a man many years ago who also carried a top with him.

The man looked at the old man, the camera suddenly turned, it was still this Japanese-style room, but both of them changed their clothes. The old man became a middle-aged man and sat on the seat, while Leo was sitting opposite his friend with a big back. Talking to the middle-aged man, like an investment bank manager who comes to sell business.

"Wow!"

Such a short segment of seamless scene changes shocked the audience and felt inexplicably high-end, but still didn't know what Nolan wanted to express.

However, the identities of the two suddenly changed from a tense confrontation to a party A and B selling business. The gap is so big, but there is no sense of disobedience, which is really surprising.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Cobb, and I'm a senior dream master." Leo, also known as Cobb, had a smile on his face and a confident tone.

The other protagonist of the incident, that is, the middle-aged man who was cutting steak and enjoying the food while listening to Cobb's speech, was the head of the world's second largest energy company, a Japanese super-rich.

Cobb and his friends are still showing off their skills, selling the "dream protection" insurance plan to the rich Saito, and threatening that there must be people like me in this world who will come to your dreams to steal secrets, if you Hiring me, I can guarantee peace of mind in this regard, but only if you trust me 100%.

Cobb was talking, a little excited, he stood up from his seat and swaggered close to Saito, "Listen, if you hire me for help, you have to treat me with no reservations, I have to be better than your wife, your counselor. , all those close to you need to know more about your thoughts. Like this is a dream, and in the dream there is a safe of your secrets, and I have to know what's in the safe. That's honesty."

Perhaps because he has too much wealth, Saito sees a lot of people who dare to get money from him. He wipes his mouth with a napkin. , the Japanese do not believe in any dream theory at all.

Cobb's companion, Arthur, saw this scene and sighed that we were exposed.

Just when Arthur's words seemed to prove that the two were liars, the ground shook for a while, Cobb looked at the time on his watch, the camera turned again, and the scene became a small apartment.

It was the same three people, except that the wealthy Saito, who was inviolable just now and was escorted by security personnel, was pushed to the ground by Cobb and Arthur.

There was a riot outside the window, but Cobb in the house showed his cards to Saito, saying that he was commissioned by his rival to steal the secret of his dream.

It's just that when Cobb said this, the camera corresponds to a speeding train. Cobb, Arthur and others were all asleep in their seats. A little boy looked at the time and put headphones on Arthur's head. French singer Piaf's singing sounded in sync.

Unbelievably, the three people in the apartment also heard this song, and Arthur was a little anxious when he heard it. He walked out the window and found that the rioting crowd was coming towards them.

It's really too late!

Arthur made a gesture, and Cobb glanced at it—it was too soft to be hard, he threw Saito to the ground, and shouted loudly, "Tell me what you know!"

"Hahahaha..." Saito seemed like a lunatic, still laughing after being beaten.

The more violent Cobb is, the more unbridled Saito's cheerful laughter is.

He is a rich man, is he not afraid of the enemy getting him?

Money is more important than life?

The audience was wondering, Saito murmured, "You know, I always hate this carpet, it's faded and worn, but it's a wool blanket, but now, I'm touching a polyester blanket …”

Arthur frowned.

"In other words, I'm not lying on the floor of my own apartment, Mr. Cobb, I'm still in a dream."

call!

On the train, several people including Cobb and Arthur woke up, and the operation failed.

It was not until this time that the audience discovered what the so-called "Pirates of Dreams" meant.

The film critic Joey sitting in the auditorium was like this. When he completely reminisced about the seamless transformation of these scenes, he deeply felt that Nolan's structure was ingenious - layer after layer of dreams, time and time again One win, multiple sets of dolls come down, no matter how the scenes are divided, the purpose is only to deepen Saito's perception of what happened in "reality" as reality.

Perhaps it is precisely because it is difficult to make people believe that the content of the dream is really difficult, that Cobb will first sell the so-called dream condom to obtain business information and be ridiculed by Saito, and then say that he was hired by his competitors. , "reasonably" kidnapped Saito and forced him to ask for commercial secrets in a different way. If it weren't for the flaws in the final details, Saito would realize that this was a fake. Under the threat of his life, maybe it would have come true.

With such a strong sense of drama, it can only be said that it is Nolan, even editing and camera cuts create traps everywhere.

However, Joey's admiration is only because he has a strong foundation in association and can understand it, but these few nesting dolls in a dream made the audience noisy.

"What's going on here? Was in the apartment just now, and is now in the train again?"

"What dream, what a dream, there is no explanation."

"I'm dizzy, what do you want to express at the beginning?"

"Don't call me if you don't understand."

"WTF? I just watch the movie, and I have to analyze the plot myself? Isn't this the director's job?" - To be honest, the main reason for the failure of "Creed" is that it sets a higher threshold for viewing movies than "Inception" .

The movie hall was a bit noisy, and in a blink of an eye, a few impatient ones had already left. This film, like "Memento", was a little unfriendly to the audience who just wanted to entertain, which could be regarded as a kind of label for Nolan.

Still the same sentence, grasp a degree, the general public never likes the high and the low, but it cannot be without the high and the low, completely popular...
