The biggest doubt about Inception

"Inception" is like a fantasy novel. You have to accept the countless fanciful settings in it; but it is the best fantasy novel because the plot is impeccable under its settings. So first of all, we need to explain all the settings mentioned in the film: (The translation in some places is not good, the more recognized translation is used below)

1. First of all, there are six characters in the film layer world. If we take the real world planned by the team in the film as a reference, in order of dreaming, they are: the real world (on the plane), the first level of dreams (in the van), the second level of dreams (in the hotel), and the third level. Dreamland (snowy mountain), fourth level dreamland (the hero's dream), limbo (lost realm). (Everyone has different lost areas, so the Japanese died on the first level, so he was lost in his own dream, so the environment was very similar to when he was stolen before.)

2. Normal people are active in the real world, and when they dream, they are in the first level of dreamland. If you want to enter the second level of dreams, that is, dreams within dreams, you must take general drugs. There are two ways to wake up from a dream (whether it is the first level or the second level) when taking ordinary drugs: the first is the so-called 'kick', which is the impact of gravity falling. The second is to be killed. Of course, waiting for the drug to expire is not a solution.

3. If you want to enter the third level of dreams, that is, dreams within dreams within dreams, general drugs are ineffective and enhanced drugs are necessary. However, the side effect of enhanced drugs is that if you are killed in a dream, you cannot wake up, but will enter Limbo (what limbo is explained later), so you can only wake up by Kick.

4. The so-called Synchronize a kick (synergistic stimulation), that is to say, stimulation at all levels is required to wake up the dreamer. For example, for a person who is dreaming on the fourth floor, he needs to be kicked (stimulated) on the first to fourth floors at the same time to wake him up on the first floor; if he is kicked (stimulated) only on the third and fourth floors, he will be awakened on the third floor. Three layers of awakening; if there is a layer in the middle that does not kick (stimulate) at the same time, such as only kicking (stimulating) on ??the first, second and fourth layers or only kicking (stimulating) on ??the first and second layers, then the activity is The dreamer on the fourth level will not wake up, which is also called Miss a kick. Therefore, when the team in the film plans to invade the deep dreamland, someone on each level must be awake to be responsible for Kick (stimulation), and the end of the music is used to coordinate the simultaneous Kick (stimulation) moment.

5. The time between layers is delayed by about twenty times. The approximations given in the lines are a ten-hour flight in the real world, which in the first dream is about a week, in the second dream is about six months, and in the third dream it is about ten years.

6. The title of Inception, literally translated as "open", is a term for dream stealing in the movie. It does not refer to stealing information in a dream, but refers to implanting a certain idea into the target person to make him feel that this is the case. Ideas are something you already have. And Inception must be completed at least on the third layer. There is a reason for this. We can see it in the dream of the target character in the film. The first level of dreams is very shallow and has a lot of consciousness. It is the entire city. The second level is a hotel. On the third level, there is only the dream in the white snow. A fortress. The less conscious the dream, the stronger the effect.

7. Every dream has a dreamer (Dreamer), who shares his dreams with others. The scenes in the dream can be designed by a specialized designer and then told to the dreamer, so the designer is not necessarily the dreamer. Theoretically speaking, everyone who enters this dream will bring some of their own consciousness projections, but except for the target person, everyone else knows that they are dreaming, so their will will not be confused.

The dream designed by the designer cannot be too outrageous or have unrealistic scenes, otherwise the target person will realize that he is dreaming, and his projection will attack other people who invade his dream. Of course, if the projection of the target person has undergone special training to prevent dream theft, the intruder will be surrounded by the projection even if the dream scene is very real.

8. Limbo is not a dream, nor does it vary from person to person. It can only be accessed by taking enhanced drugs and dying in a dream. Time is endless in Limbo. Moreover, in this world there are only some scene fragments left by people who have been here before. Before the Japanese went there, only Leo and his wife had been there, so the house in the lost domain of the Japanese at the beginning and the end and when Leo stole his dreams were given to him. He made it the same. If you die in the Lost Realm, you will return to reality, but the problem is that you will lose your memory in the Lost Realm and cannot remember this method, so entering the Lost Realm is a last resort.

9. Dreams can be grafted. That is to say, A and B enter the first level of dreamland of C (the dreamer of this level is C), and then B can take A to the second level of dreamland of B (the dreamer of this level is B).

The setting is roughly like this, let’s look at the plot below.

In chronological order, the first thing is about Leo and his woman. These two people were pioneers in the dream world. When they got married, they promised to grow old together. Their common pursuit of the dream world led them to experiment on themselves. During the experiment, they entered the fourth level of dreams where women are the dream hosts. There are very few things in the human dream world on the third level, and there is nothing on the fourth level. Because there were only two people doing the experiment, no one was left on the first few floors to help them kick. And due to the effect of time delay, in reality, it would take fifty years to fall asleep one day on the fourth floor. So they grew old hand in hand in the fourth-level dream world, and in their free time they could only create things to play with. Fifty years later they died of old age in their dreams. Thinking that they had taken enhanced drugs, they both entered the Limbo Lost Realm. Women in the Lost Realm are greedy for the endless time together and think this is reality and don't want to return to reality, but Leo thinks about his children and wants to return to reality. In the end, he convinced the woman to commit suicide by lying on the train with him. He was not sure that he would be able to escape limbo in this way, so before committing suicide, he instilled in the woman the idea of ??doubting everything and trying everything. This was his first inception. After committing suicide in the Lost Realm, they returned to reality, but the side effect of that inception occurred, that is, the woman began to suspect that reality was actually a dream, and believed that only death could escape. So the woman commits suicide and creates the illusion that Leo kills her. The ultimate goal is to let Leo be executed so that we can escape from the dream together. Poor Leo had no choice but to abandon his children and flee abroad. Leo's subconscious is filled with the shadow of his wife (that is, the character shade). As long as he continues to engage in the work of designing dreams, the shadow that looks like his wife (represents his subconscious regret and resentment for killing his wife's dream work) ) bad things will happen.

(Leo and his wife experienced the fourth-level dream world and the limbo world. The most obvious evidence is that both of them were young when limbo committed suicide by lying on the train and returned to reality, and in the fourth-level dream world, both of them were young. People look like they are old. )

It is said that Leo randomly took on the job of stealing dreams abroad, and got a job of stealing intelligence from a Japanese tycoon. This is the gunfight scene at the beginning, and it is also a simple dream within a dream, so there are only general drugs here. If you die in the dream, you will wake up immediately. As a result, the designer of the team first made a mistake and betrayed them in the dream, and then betrayed them in reality. However, the Japanese value his ability and want to hire him for an inception: let the young head of a rival company divide the inheritance left by his father and promise that he can return to China to take care of his children. So he found a new designer girl and a new team. The plan for Inception is to spread a good impression of his father in the minds of young leaders.

Leo mentioned in the discussion that saying negative things will have a positive impact. If the young leader hates his father, he will do a good job in the company to prove that he is better than his father.

The location of Inception this time was on the ten-hour flight from Sydney to the United States. This was a do or die situation for Leo, because he was wanted in the United States for murdering his wife, and the Japanese promised that they would call him on the plane to solve the problem as soon as he completed the mission.

Something went wrong as soon as he entered the first level of the young leader’s dream. This person has been trained by other dream stealing experts. Although the dream was created by a little girl, the consciousness of the target person will transform into an armed man to attack the characters in the abnormal dream. What's more important is that this time the inception will be carried out in the third level of dreams, and Leo has not told everyone about the side effects of enhanced drugs before. At this time, only one road in Huashan could complete the task. The Indians stayed on the first floor to be responsible for kicking. They entered the hotel on the second floor. The handsome boy stayed on the second floor to be responsible for kicking. The rest entered the snow castle in the dreamland on the third floor, with the purpose of letting the young boss see him. To their designed father and accept the idea. Just when he was about to succeed, the shadow of Leo's wife appeared again and shot the young boss. At this time, the young boss was not dead, but just unconscious. In desperation, the little girl proposed to graft the young boss Enter Leo's fourth level of dreamland, where he uses 'kick' and an electric shock from the third level to wake up the young leader. So, the little girl and Leo entered Leo's fourth-level dream, where the little girl kicked the young leader back to the third-level dream (at the same time, someone on the third level gave his body electric shock). Deep in the snow fort, the young boss heard the last words of the father who was designing: I am disappointed that you tried... (meaning I am disappointed that you tried so hard to be like me), which means that let He left the company alone. After opening the safe, what he saw was his most cherished pinwheel in the photo with his father. Feeling guilty for his father, he naturally realized the forged will that was also in the safe and split the company. At this point, inception's mission has been successfully completed. The explosion kick in the dream world on the third floor, the elevator kick on the second floor, and the falling water kick on the first floor are all happening at the same time. The little girl, the handsome boy, the Indian and others successfully escaped to the first floor. Only the Japanese died in the third level of the dream world, so they skipped the fourth level and went directly to the limbo.

At the same time, Leo finally made up his mind to kill his wife's shadow in the fourth dream world. He was also stabbed to death by the shadow during the fight, and also came to the Lost Realm. Here he met the Japanese and convinced him to kill Leo with a gun and then commit suicide and both returned to reality.

(It is not easy to remember from the dream world to limbo, so Leo said that he had forgotten how he and his wife grew old together on the fourth level before entering the Lost Realm for the first time. When he entered the Lost Realm for the second time, When Lost Domain met the Japanese, he thought about it for a long time before he remembered the purpose - the Japanese could not return and the reality was that they would not be able to fulfill the promised reward of letting him go home)

At this point, Leo's heart knotted. Unraveling, his regret for his wife's death was diluted by the memory of the happiness of growing old with his wife in the fourth dream world. After the Japanese woke up on the plane, they also fulfilled their promise and called him to remove him from wanted status.

The final ending is open-ended. I don’t know whether the top will stop or not, but it doesn’t hurt. If the reality used as a reference is indeed a dream, it will only turn the six-layer world into a seventh-layer. Just like the multiple closed loops of up and down stairs in the movie, the multi-layered world in the movie is nothing more than a M?bius circle with added dimensions, 1 to 2 to 3 to 0 to 1 to 2 to 3 to 0... .and so on.
