20 10 summer movie, the most worthwhile movie?

There is no doubt that Nolan's new Chinese name is Inception

Plot introduction

Christopher Nolan's new film "The Foundation Stone" recently exposed its first official poster. From the picture, this sci-fi film is a bit like the combination of disaster cornerstone film and action film. With his back to the audience and a gun in his right hand, Leonardo has a flooded city at his feet, with high-rise buildings on both sides and a cloudy sky in the background, giving the film a mysterious feeling. The Cornerstone, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is Christopher Nolan's latest work after The Dark Knight. This film is a contemporary science fiction film that takes place in the structure of consciousness. It depicts a world where human beings have invented a means to enter other people's dreams. Leonardo DiCaprio plays the role of CEO of a company, but from a certain point of view, he is also a criminal, because he sneaked into other people's dreams to steal information. The cast of Foundation Stone is quite strong, and Leonardo DiCaprio plays the leading role Jacob, who is the soul of the team. Oscar-winning actress marion cotillard plays his beloved wife; "Juno" Alain Page plays a female college student named Ariadne who is Leonardo's partner; Japanese actor Ken Watanabe plays the villain Qi Teng, who will blackmail Leonardo in the film. The film will be made into IMAX version, and officially landed in North American cinemas on July 10, and 80% of the audience who have seen the film will get full marks. It is expected that China will introduce this policy in late August.

The filming plan of this film was born during the filming of Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight. Christopher Nolan once considered working with his close partner Christian Bale again, but Christian Bale suggested that Christopher Nolan find other actors he liked as the leading actor, because he wanted to shoot Terminator 20 18, and Christian Bale had other shooting plans after that. At this moment, Christopher Nolan thought of another actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, who liked him very much, but never formally cooperated with him.

[Edit this paragraph] Nolan talks about his new work: The Foundation Stone.

The cornerstone touches on the relationship between the real dream and the half-dream and half-awake state. For Nolan, the cornerstone is an unattainable dream. "I hope to have enough time to finish this movie, because what I want to express in it is something I have been thinking about repeatedly since I was sixteen. I finished the first draft of the script seven or eight years ago, but later the story progressed much further than I expected, and it touched on the relationship between the real dream and the half-dream and half-awake state, "Nolan said during the filming interval last summer. Nolan divided his youth into two stages: Chicago and London, but judging from his unsmiling expression, the Thames should nourish him more than the power of Lake Michigan. Nolan found that he had many strange ideas when he was very young. He always wakes up naturally in the middle of the night and then goes into a light sleep state. In this state, he often thinks he is dreaming. After that, more strange feelings will follow, and he can separate the stories in his dreams by memory. Summer movies are always the hottest time of the year, and this year is no exception. From vampires to evil aliens, and the dog that will never get old and can't talk (Cat and Dog Wars 2), people's hearts are constantly bombarded. On July 16, at the height of fierce fighting, Christopher Nolan will hand in hand with Warner Bros. to lay the foundation stone for the explosion of popularity. Because of the bizarre title and Warner's first-class secrecy about the script, the whole movie has a unique mystery in Hollywood. Souvenirs from Christopher Nolan have been popular on the screen for ten years. This two-line narrative story constructs two conflicting time and space, and the intertwined clues attract countless people's pursuit. With this masterpiece, Nolan and his brother Jonathan were nominated for the Oscar for Best Screenplay. In 2008, Nolan gained fame and fortune with the success of The Dark Knight. As the most successful superhero movie in history, The Dark Knight should be one of the few movies that basically didn't use computer technology. The Foundation Stone is Nolan's seventh film and his first test in the field of science fiction movies. This film, which combines Memento's sensory disorder and the shooting scale of the Dark Knight, has a pre-budget of $6543.8+600 million, and location shooting has also set foot in Morocco, France and Japan. Leonardo DiCaprio, who just joined Shutter Island, plays the leading role in this film. He will play a detective in the film, and use high-tech means to detect commercial crimes by invading other people's hearts and dreams. But the problem is that he himself was tortured by his heart for a long time because of the pain of losing his wife. This film is expected to become the first action film with ideological structure in Hollywood film history. Although it doesn't sound like the kind of movie that usually appears this season, Warner and Legendary Pictures have teamed up to guarantee this movie, calling it the "Matrix" version of "Mission Impossible". In this story with elements of Freud and ian fleming, DiCaprio backed Nolan, saying that Nolan is definitely the best director to achieve this unimaginable cross-border integration. In a recent telephone interview, DiCaprio said that "complexity and ambiguity can accurately describe this story", and it is a very challenging task to push the story to the end, but this is what Nolan is good at. Insomnia and Memories of Time Past are both stories with multi-clue and multi-level complex narrative structure, which can make the films entertaining while telling the facts clearly. You have to admit that Nolan is really an expert in this field. The brain can accommodate real scenes, just like manipulating lucid dreams. "The human brain can accommodate all the real scenes, and I have never encountered the limit of this behavior in my research. Just like walking on the beach, you can look around and grab a handful of fine sand on the beach. I try to verify this truth by manipulating lucid dreams, and my script is based on these simple truths. As for the only weird thing in the movie, technology allows people to invade other people's brains and share the same dream with another person at the same time. DiCaprio's joining is not only as a big movie star, but also to break the blank of science fiction movies and let more people walk into this story. " Leo always has many ideas. He will think from the perspective of the role, and at the same time take into account the role that the role can play in this story and the development of the whole story. Chatting with him is usually very interesting, which will always play a great role in promoting the development of the whole shooting. I think the emotional world of this character far exceeds the driving force at the beginning of the story, "Nolan said. From action movies to exploring emotional connotation "I wrote the cornerstone as an action movie at the beginning, and the essence of action movies is to deliberately superficial emotional lines." Those jokes should give people the feeling that they are just touching but charming, and the happy effect of instant eruption must be in place. So, I wanted such a movie at first, but when I looked at the original idea in reverse, I found it extremely unreliable, because Foundation is a movie that relies heavily on the connotation of the movie, and it is all about dreams and memories, so I decided to emphasize the drama of the emotional part. When we filmed Batman movies, we knew that the most effective way to communicate with the audience was the feelings mentioned in the movie, and the role of big stars was only to draw the audience into the cinema. No matter how strange the next story is, they will pay for those familiar faces. "Returning to a computer-independent unstable mental state and unreliable logical reasoning has always been a recurring theme in Nolan's films: Memento is a victim of memory loss, insomnia is a middle-aged detective suffering from insomnia, Fatal Magic tells another patient with a fantastic mind, and Batman's story takes a subversive form, which fundamentally prevents the emergence of super good citizens. In all these stories, Nolan insists on shooting with a camera, and computers are basically worthless to him, which is incredible in Hollywood. Thanks to the help of wally pfister and Chris Cobold, Nolan's royal photographers and Bond's special effects director, they helped Nolan realize the return of old-fashioned film technology. When shooting a street fighting scene in Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Kobold's team designed a large-angle rotating corridor for the sudden transition from a dream to a real scene and filmed it. Nolan said, "This looks like a torture machine. We tortured Joseph in there for weeks. But in the end, when we watched the movie, the effect inside was something that none of us had ever seen. The rhythm of the whole plot is very unique. When you watch it, even if you know how it was shot, it will still make you dizzy. This way of shooting is really great, so that extraordinary things can happen in a very simple way, which is exactly what we want. "When the mechanical scene design presents a surreal dream, the cornerstone does not follow the old path of Hollywood. Those scenes with mist and liquid effects were abandoned and replaced by large-scale mechanical scene design. In Nolan's films, the style of escher's Doctor Calgary's Cabin completely defeats Dali's dripping meaning. Architecture also strongly influenced the cultural sense of this film. Dream design is not an illusory poem, but a concrete architectural blueprint. This result is related to Nolan's long-term fascination with architecture. A key scene in The Cornerstone was shot in the School of Architecture of University of London, which was once a treasure trove for Nolan to get an English degree and meet his current wife Emma Thomson. Some time ago, the popularity of Avatar set off a wave of this kind of movies, and the story patterns about a person living in two spaces emerged one after another (future person, escape from heaven and earth, etc.). Many people have also asked Nolan whether his new film follows this routine. Faced with this problem, Nolan can only shake his head helplessly. " I think our films may be more inclined to the old-school academic style, the multi-faceted extension of the matrix and the exploration of multi-faceted realistic concepts. The whole concept of Avatar is similar to the movie we are making, but I think when I started making this movie, its sources were more like the movies The Matrix and The Thirteenth Step. Like Memento, their foundation is based on your doubts about the authenticity of the world around you. The strong cast of The Foundation Stone was created by Nolan according to his personal preference, such as Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe and michael caine, and experienced Tom Hardy. In addition, the popular Joseph Gordon Levitt and Ellen Page played the golden partners of DiCaprio's Dreamcatcher. Allen was shocked by many scenes when she participated in the filming of Foundation Stone, which she had never experienced before. For the unique large-scale scenes and sensory confusion in Nolan's films, Peggy feels that this is what makes him unique. When almost all directors wanted to make a film as easy and exciting as a video game in summer, Nolan took out this film which mixed literary and architectural ideas, and his courage was evident. "It's like reading a novel by Haruki Murakami. This film is full of fantasy. But that world gives people the feeling that it is not a strange surreal world, but a strong sense of existence. The rich emotional paragraphs in the film are also his indispensable core. Although the story is complicated, it will never intentionally confuse the audience. "Time will tell whether Nolan's new film can be successful in the commercial field, but at this stage he has been proved to be an out-and-out box office bomb director, but his ammunition is different from others." I'm always attracted to things related to mazes, such as drawing a maze map. Of course you don't want to be hung in the sky and watch the actors walking around in the maze. You prefer to jump in and make choices with them. This will make the whole thing more exciting, at least I personally like it. "Since The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan's new film" The Foundation Stone Ceremony "has been highly anticipated by fans. Recently, the director talked about the details of this new film in an interview, saying that "Foundation Stone" is his biggest challenge since filming, even surpassing "The Dark Knight". Nolan said, "Shooting Foundation Stone is the biggest challenge I have ever experienced. We are going to tell a large-scale story and make a real blockbuster-this is the biggest production I have ever participated in. We try to make this film comparable to the Dark Knight and surpass it to some extent. ""We added more and more different things to the film, "Nolan said." I grew up watching James Bond movies. I like the plot and elements in it. The protagonist wears it in different countries. This time, we have to be more extreme, not only in space, but also in time and reality. This expansion can be four-dimensional. "When asked whether this is a crime film, a thriller, a romance film or a" metaphysical "supernatural film, Nolan said mysteriously that all the above elements will be included. Producer emma thomas thinks "The Foundation Stone" is a personalized film. We discussed this film off and on for seven or eight years. Compared with The Dark Knight, Foundation has more personality, but its story is crazy, so it is' big'. Earlier, Cillian Murphy, one of the main actors of the film, also revealed to the media that "this film is so unique" and "this is a complete innovation". It doesn't belong to any genre, and the film incorporates various elements, all of which come from Nolan's imagination. I have never seen anything like it in my life. "It is said that Cornerstone invested $200 million to shoot in six countries around the world. The film is currently in post-production and will be released in North America on July 10. 10 10/2 1 Sunday, two actors of "The Cornerstone", michael caine and Cillian Murphy, were interviewed by the media and revealed some inside information of this new film directed by Christopher Nolan very conservatively. Michael caine, who plays "Ah Fu, the Butler" in the new Batman series, admits that he has few scenes in the film, which is slightly better than the guest actor, and the crew is even on high alert for him and won't let him read the complete script. " They don't allow me to read the script. You can only look at the page I played. They are so mysterious. When talking about his role, Kane simply concluded: "DiCaprio plans to do a scientific experiment, and he talked to me just before that." Cillian Murphy played the role of "Scarecrow" in Nolan's two new Batman series, but he kept silent about his role, saying only in general terms: "This is the third film that Nolan and I have worked together. He showed me the whole script. The story is very, very complicated and magical. I can't wait for it to come out next year. " When asked to introduce more details of the film, Murphy firmly refused-on the grounds that "this film is too unique", "this is a complete innovation, it does not belong to any type, and the film combines various elements, and these elements are all from Nolan's imagination. I have never seen anything like it in my life. "From this point of view, the cornerstone, which is completely beyond Nolan's imagination, will definitely bring great surprises to fans, and its complexity is expected to surpass the classic Memento released in 2000.
