What is the structure of Inception's plays?

In Inception's film, its fantastic modeling space is by no means groundless. Nolan borrows the masterpieces and ideological essence of some masters in human history to enrich and perfect his works. We can clearly see the shadow of the famous painting Non-Euclidean Space by the Dutch printmaker escher in Inception. When our eyes were fixed on the lens of the Champs Elysé es, the beautiful Champs Elysé es turned over in front of us. The picture is handled as beautifully as escher's painting, and like a magician, it builds an exquisite world that cannot be reproduced.

We will also find that many modeling scenes in Inception's films directly present escher's description of non-Euclidean space to us. For example, the hero and heroine walk down the stairs, but the stairs extend upward, which is an important unit that constitutes our very strange shocking visual experience. Because the so-called non-Euclid is a picture that can't really exist in our three-dimensional and four-dimensional space, it is possible to be "finite and unbounded", but Nolan, the director, made it perfectly realized in the screen space, and achieved the static effect of dynamically displaying the picture on the screen.

In the movie, many pictures use the standard escher space. The hero and heroine walked down the stairs, but the stairs began to go up. This is an impossible cycle. This kind of shooting is done by a kind of motion device, which uses large-scale installation machinery, the latest cinematography means and the latest cinematography camera lens to record the impossible space and impossible extension outside the scene, and at the same time, it uses the scene and the real space completed by computer post-production to obtain a visual communication different from the spatial expression completely completed by post-production.

Another important theme of escher's paintings is the mirror-image self-refraction structure. Nolan has a clear understanding of modern art and is inspired by it. Therefore, in Inception, the mirror has become an important means of modeling, and he used it to create visual wonders. The hero creates a space with mirrors on all sides, which means eternal mutual refraction, so it is difficult for us to tell what is real and what is illusion.

Another more important element that Inception used for reference came from the surrealist artist Dali. Dali's paintings accurately express the fine realistic techniques of the academic school, but also show the unreal and subversive dream space, that is, the so-called "hand-painted dream photography". In Dali's painting "Continuation of Memory", he deliberately kept the non-dreamy, completely realistic elements, and described a surreal but puzzling scene, which made people completely doubt the reality. If we see Dali's painting "Continuation of Memory" and think back to Inception, you will feel familiar with it.

The film Inception is so charming and shocking that we feel uneasy and imaginative. From the beginning to the end, we have a long aftertaste in the feast of images. Those familiar Paris city landscapes are magically folded and turned over, so we are crazy about the drastic changes in Paris. The repetition of one impossible space after another shocked and horrified us. The whole shooting process is the result of a huge installation art.

Nowadays, digital technology is becoming more and more mature, and it seems that there is nothing incredible to create this spectacle. However, the miracle brought by this film is not due to digital synthesis technology and post-production. Its extraordinary impact comes entirely from the production wonders of the film itself, which was shot. This is the surprise that Inception brought us.

The connection between movies and dreams seems eternal. In the mid-20th century, fantastic space began to appear in movies. Inception, which has spanned a century, is actually not a movie about dreams, but a movie about real dreams, which is a paradoxical expression. Inception's dream, the dream about love and love, until the end of the dream, is just a play, because the plot itself is not about dreams. But its most creative thing is to put the suspense structure of the film at the end of the film, which makes the film have the characteristics of real dreams. What are the characteristics of dreams? We are proficient in the dreams we have experienced in life. These dreams have become the mysteries and characteristics of human psychology. They are usually not dreams, but nightmares or nightmares. Dreams are usually a masked ball, presented by the anxiety we carry during the day and night. Inception has created a painful nightmare for us. It is so wonderful, so grand, so shocking that the final reverberation is lingering. It allows viewers around the world to participate in a guessing game determined by the plot, and most guessing players tend to prove rather than falsify. Everyone wants to prove that the top has fallen and their loved ones are reunited, not that it is an eternal cold palace. In other words, this suspense, this pain, has affected each of us to return to a stable, safe, belonging and loving environment, which is an anxious nightmare. In this sense, the success of the film is not only a commercial success and a spectacular success, but also a social success, because it touches the real tension, anxiety and pain in each of us. Although in different cultures, different countries, different classes and different realities, not one dream can solve all our problems. This is the thinking and practical significance brought by Inception.
