What is the script structure of the movie Inception?

In the film "Inception", the fantasy and splendor of its modeling space are by no means groundless. Director Nolan borrowed the masterpieces and ideological essence of some art masters in human history to enrich and improve himself. works. We clearly see the shadow of Dutch printmaker Escher's famous painting "Non-Euclidean Space" in "Inception". When our eyes stay on the Champs Elysées, the beautiful Champs Elysées in Paris flips in front of us. The processing of the picture is as exquisite as Escher's painting, like a magician. A beautiful world that is impossible to reproduce is built.

We will also find that many modeling scenes in the film "Inception" directly present Escher's "Non-Euclidean Space" paintings in our eyes. For example, the hero and heroine walk down the stairs, but the stairs extend upward. This is an important unit that constitutes our very strange and shocking visual experience. Because the so-called non-Euclidean is a picture that cannot really exist in our three-dimensional and four-dimensional space, making "finite and unbounded" possible, but director Nolan made it perfectly realized in the space of the screen, achieving the goal of The dynamic effect of the screen shows the static effect of the picture.

In the movie, there are many scenes that use standard Escher space. The hero and heroine descend the stairs, which then begin to ascend, creating an impossible cycle. And this shooting was accomplished through a moving device, which used large-scale device machinery, the latest film photography methods, and the latest movie camera lenses to record the impossible space and the impossible extension outside the scene. At the same time, the real space completed by the scenery and computer post-production are assisted to obtain a visual communication that is different from the spatial expression completely completed by post-production.

Another important theme in Escher's paintings is the mirror-like self-refracting structure. Nolan has a clear understanding of modern art and uses it as a source of inspiration, so mirrors become an important modeling method in "Inception". He used mirrors to create a visual spectacle. The male protagonist creates a space with mirrors on all four walls, which means eternal mutual refraction, so that it is difficult for us to distinguish what is reality and what is illusion.

Another more important element that "Inception" draws from is the hyper-realistic artist Dali. Dali's paintings accurately express the sophisticated realistic techniques of the academic school, but also express extraordinary The dream space that really exists and subverts reality is the so-called "hand-painted dream photography". In Dali's painting "The Continuation of Memory", he deliberately retained non-dream and completely realistic elements, depicting a hyper-realistic but overall puzzling scene that makes people completely doubt reality. If we see Dali's painting "The Continuation of Memory" and think back to "Inception", you will feel very familiar.

The movie "Inception" is so charming and shocking. It makes our hearts sway and our imaginations wander. From beginning to end, we are wandering in a feast of images, with a long aftertaste. Those extremely familiar Parisian cityscapes folded and turned over like magic, and we followed Paris's topsy-turvy craziness. The emergence of one impossible space after another shocks and scares us. The entire filming process of the film is the result of a huge installation art.

Today’s digital technology has become increasingly mature, and creating this spectacle itself does not seem incredible. However, the miracle this movie brings us is not due to digital synthesis technology and post-production. It is beyond The unusually powerful impact comes entirely from the spectacle of making the film itself, the way it was shot. This is the surprise that "Inception" brings us.

The connection between movies and dreams seems eternal. In the middle of the 20th century, dream representation and dream-like spaces began to appear in movies. And "Inception", which has spanned a century, is actually not a movie about dreams, but it is a real dream movie. This is a paradoxical expression. The dreams presented in "Inception" make dreams, dreams within dreams, dreams about dreams within dreams, until the end of the dream, which is just the beginning of a drama, because the plot itself is not about dreams. But its most creative thing is that it structures the suspense of the movie at the end of the film, giving the film a real dream quality. What are the characteristics of dreams? We are well aware of the dreams we have had and experienced in our lives. These dreams that have become the mysteries and characteristics of human psychology are usually not sweet dreams, but nightmares or nightmares. Dreams are usually what we carry with us during the day. Anxiety presents itself as a masquerade at night. "Inception" has created a painful nightmare for us. It is so wonderful, so magnificent, and so shocking that the last lingering sound lingers, and it makes moviegoers around the world be restrained by the plot. The group participated in a guessing competition, and most of the guessers tended to confirm rather than falsify. Everyone wanted to prove that the top fell and relatives were reunited, rather than that it was a limbo. Eternal destruction. In other words, this suspense and pain trigger an anxious nightmare for each of us to return to an environment that is stable, safe, belonging, and surrounded by love.

In this sense, the success of the film is not only a commercial success and a spectacle success, it is also a social success, because it touches the realistic tension and realistic anxiety in the hearts of each of us moviegoers. and the pain of reality. Although in different cultures, different countries, different classes, and different realities, not the same dream can solve all of our problems. This is the thinking and practical significance that "Inception" brings to us.
