""Inception" - a nearly perfect commercial movie!"

Jiang Yong tapped his fingers quickly on the keyboard to come up with a title, then reached out to pick up the coffee cup and took a sip.

After coming out of the premiere theater, he drove home quickly without any pause. When he got home, he said a cursory hello to his wife and children. After briefly washing up, he closed the study door under the surprised eyes of his family. He couldn't wait.

I started writing movie reviews.

He originally wanted to write the title as "A Perfect Movie".

Considering that he does still have a certain influence in the film critic circle, he cannot write like a mentally retarded fan. Although "perfect movie" is his true feeling at the moment, it is indeed inappropriate to write like this in his capacity.

You still have to be reserved.

And my feelings at this moment may not be rational, after all, it is less than two hours until the end of the movie.

So he changed the title to "Nearly Perfect Commercial Movie" and added the words "close" and "commercial" to soften the intense emotions he expressed in the text.

As a well-known film critic in the industry, the last time Jiang Yong almost lost his temper and praised an Amway movie crazily was two years ago.

"Gravity"

I even think that this is a movie that is not afraid of spoilers at all. Spoilers can even help people watch the movie better and allow them to better accept the dream theory instilled by Chen Jingxing in advance.

As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

If you're not used to paying attention to every little detail and dialogue in a movie, you might get a lot of confusion.

What is great about him is not only the imaginative and creative visual images behind the theory, but also the genius' strong ability to implement details, which ultimately achieves an unparalleled stimulating effect.

And I think the concept in the movie that fascinates me the most is undoubtedly the ‘parasite in consciousness’ – ideas!

The only thing crazier than stealing an idea from a person's dream is planting an idea in a person's dream.

I think maybe the idea for "Inception" may have been born in Chen Jingxing's genius brain after "Fatal Identity".

I'm sure some of them will stay in the minds of viewers for a long time (City bending in Barcelona, ​​gravity-defying and zero-gravity battles, anti-gravity avalanches in snowy mountains, getting stuck, dreams shattered, etc...).

The more complex the film structure and narrative are, and the more elaborate the gameplay, the simpler the story usually has to be. A simple story paired with a complex narrative structure can create a brain-burning movie.

Truth and falsehood are a very core cornerstone of Chen Jingxing's science fiction concepts.

From "Inception" you can see the shadow of Chen Jingxing and even many of DreamWorks' past works.

Overall, this movie is unique and can even be said to be a work of art.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yong started typing quickly on the keyboard.

Although the subsequent "Matrix" also shocked him, he was mainly shocked by the concept of science fiction. The presentation of the movie itself was not very innovative and conformed to the routines of commercial movies.

And this time Chen Jingxing played with non-linear narrative.

For someone like me who rarely dreams when sleeping (or maybe because I have a poor memory and always forget it quickly the next day), seeing a movie like this is extremely exciting.

It also cements Chen Jingxing's status as one of the brightest film directors and screenwriters of his generation worldwide.

It was a ground-breaking film for Chinese industrial films. It was a true IMAX+3D film that only belonged to movie theaters.

In a sense, the title of the movie "Inception" is also a trick. Just like the protagonist fooled Chen Kun, a rich second generation, in the first dream of the movie, Chen Jingxing is also misleading or fooling.

audience……

In my opinion, this is the greatest achievement in his brilliant career as a screenwriter and director so far, and it is the culmination of his science fiction creativity.

This is a very strange movie.

After talking about the science fiction concept, let’s talk about the plot of this movie. The following contains spoilers. If you don’t want to read spoilers, you can skip it. However, I think spoilers will not have a big impact on the movie-watching experience.

If Chen Jingxing had just made a story about stealing ideas from dreams that fits the title of the movie, it would have been enough to become a first-rate movie.

…Thankfully, in a mediocre world of remakes, reboots, adaptations, and sequels, we’re lucky enough to see something truly unparalleled and different so far—a brilliant original movie full of surprises, or even a

A flawless commercial film, I saw no real flaws in this film.

In Jiang Yong's view, "Inception" successfully achieved all of this.

The source code world and reality, the matrix and reality, the exchange of souls in dreams, prosthetic people whose brains have been modified into machines, are their memories real or illusory, how do false memories define what 'me' is? What is me?

soul?

It has appeared in works such as "Fatal Identity", "Source Code", "The Matrix", the animation "Your Name", and "Special Mobile Team".

Discussions about truth and falsehood almost run through Chen Jingxing's creative history.

He went a step further and played with more abstract ideas, which are difficult for ordinary people to find specific methods even in their imagination.

Because this movie is so complicated, I believe that even Chen Jingxing, who is known for his superhuman imagination, must have thought about it for a long time before completing the script.

In addition, the protagonist's wife's personality is split due to extreme guilt and regret, and the subconscious projection of the target's consciousness turns into a passerby in the dream. You can feel a strong sense of déjà vu with these concepts.

A strange movie that takes place entirely in space.

In the small space of the human heart, through the subtle connection of emotions, unexpected choices are made.

But as long as life is good, reality and dreams don't matter."

A set of confusing numbers, a childhood paper fan, and a small top can actually subvert a person's brain in an instant, reshape a person's understanding of the world, repair a person's emotions, and change a person's emotions.

Human thoughts, injecting an insignificant amount of thought.

After finishing writing, Jiang Yong re-read the entire film review to confirm that there were no typos or illogical sentences, etc., and then Jiang Yong chose to send it.

Additionally, there is a well-acted cast to help Chen Jingxing convey all of his messages.

The amount of information that needs to be conveyed to build a shocking world view is also staggering, so a large amount of dialogue is inevitable. Being able to integrate such a science fiction concept into a routine narrative logic is already very impressive.

This movie contains so much information and has such a complex structure that Jiang Yong, whose brain was still excited, couldn't find the beginning of the movie review and didn't know where to start.

There are so many stunning scenes completed with incredibly imaginative narrative techniques, and time is manipulated through meticulous editing to provide a stunning audio-visual experience.

And "Inception" even made him surpass himself.

Finally, when you wake up from a sweet dream, you will feel that reality is cruel. When you wake up from a nightmare, you will feel the beauty of reality.

"A unique and stunning masterpiece!

But not surprisingly, Chen Jingxing is not satisfied with this.

A film that develops audiovisual spectacle to the extreme.

The complex film structure is perfectly integrated with the worldview structure with an amazing amount of information.

This time, Chen Jingxing once again played a puzzle with high IQ after a few years. You don't expect to find the loopholes in this theory after watching the movie once or twice.

High information content and complex film narrative structures usually cannot coexist.

I don't even want to add one, and forgive me for giving such praise to this director - this kind of conception can only come from a genius like Chen Jingxing.

Of course, the powerful high concept of "The Matrix" perfectly covers all this. In fact, it is unfair in a sense to put higher demands on the film's narrative structure.

Behind all this, it is still a spy film at its core. I would like to call it the spy version of "The Matrix".

Immediately, what came to my mind was a hint of sadness after the excitement, and an unreal feeling as if I was still in a dream.

The stamina that a good movie brings to people is powerful. I don’t know when the confusion between dreams and reality has spread from the male protagonist to the audience.

When Luochen was spinning the top like a man possessed, some of the magic of the movie seemed to be poured into him.

When I walked out of the theater, I felt like I had just had a long-lasting dream, and this sense of strangeness to reality still has a lingering aftertaste to this day.
