Behind the scenes production of inception

Unstable mental state and unreliable logical reasoning have always been recurring themes in Nolan's films: Memento is a victim who has lost his memory, insomnia is a middle-aged detective who suffers from insomnia, deadly magic tells another patient whose mind is full of fantasy, and the story of the dark knight takes a subversive form, which fundamentally prevents anonymous super good citizens.

Inception is Nolan's seventh film and his first experiment in the field of science fiction movies. This film, which combines Memento's sensory disorder with the shooting scale of The Dark Knight, has an initial budget of $6,543.8+600 billion.

British director Christopher Nolan, who won more than $654.38 billion in global box office for Warner Pictures with The Dark Knight, will once again co-shoot the sci-fi blockbuster Inception with Warner Bros. (Warner Bros. won the production and distribution rights of this film before other companies in order to continue to cooperate with Nolan). This time, the star cast led by Leonardo DiCaprio was once again called to star in the film.

Michael caine (as an old housekeeper) and Cillian Murphy (as a scarecrow) from The Dark Knight joined the film, and the heroines included marion cotillard, the Oscar-winning actress in la vie en rose, and Ellen Page, the heroine in Juno. It is worth mentioning that the film also creatively invited Joseph Gordon-Levitt, known as "Little Heath Ledger", to participate in the filming.

Shooting process

Although there are many hallucinatory plot scenes in the film, as Nolan's signature style, he is used to letting the whole creative team try their best to create real scenes and avoid using CGI technology too much. "I always feel that the most important thing is to do your homework in front of the camera and work hard. Then, if necessary, computer imaging will make it easier to improve the effect of real-life shooting and play a icing on the cake.

Nolan insists on shooting with a camera. 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. The film was shot all over the world, and only the main scenes involved four continents and six countries. During the filming process, the cast members of the film crew experienced hardships, including the heat in Tangier, Morocco and the heavy snow in Calgary, Canada. Shooting locations also included Tokyo, Paris and Los Angeles. In order to shoot the action shots of a group of vehicles, the visual effects group used artificial rainfall and other means to complete the plot of freight trains sweeping through the city center.
