Chapter 505 "Pirates of Dreams" is finished(1/2)
At this point in the movie, the next thing the audience sees is the dream scene on the fourth floor. But in fact, most of the scenes on this floor have already been filmed in Los Angeles.
So go back to September in Los Angeles.
After the two entered the fourth floor, everything was still the same as what Cobb was familiar with before. There were countless tall buildings, either dilapidated or brand new, but the only thing they had in common was that they were gray and desolate.
He began to introduce the scenes here one by one:
"This is our community, where we used to live; that was our first apartment, and later we moved to that house..." Turning their heads, the two of them walked faster and faster, and Lin Hao pointed to the other side
Continued:
"We moved there when Mel got pregnant."
"You reconstructed all this from memory?"
Peggy's face was full of shock. Such a huge project was actually built by just two people. She called herself a genius dream builder, but she couldn't handle it all.
"I said, we have plenty of time."
Lin Hao didn't explain much.
Because the next thing is very important to the male protagonist, and he is very confused - this scene is also a key reversal of the entire film. Only with this part of the content can the previous unreasonable parts be filled in.
Do you still remember what Cobb described to Peggy before about what happened between him and his wife Mel?
When describing this passage...
His words were a little unclear.
Describe yourself as a victim.
So how did they wake up? Why did Mel say that train thing? And ultimately, was what Cobb was describing the truth?
Here, everything will be answered.
After all, the truth of the story is not only one insider, but also another one: Mel is here, on the fourth level of this dream. As a projection of Cobb's consciousness, the next meeting between the two will bring more meaning to this dusty past.
Come to a completely different version.
...
Apartment, in a dark corridor.
Light and shadow intersect intermittently, bright yellow and dark.
Lin Hao slowly spoke:
"Ideas are like viruses, extremely vital and contagious. Even just a little idea can develop and mature."
The cameraman followed them as they walked. Nolan chose to shoot this section with a handheld camera, following the two from the front and back, giving the viewer the feeling of entering the apartment with the two protagonists.
And as the camera moved forward, Lin Hao's voice did not stop: "It can shape a person, and it can also destroy a person." The picture continued to move forward, and the monitor finally saw them entering the house.
The furnishings inside the house are very simple.
It's not big, it's not empty, and it's not full either.
The most eye-catching thing was the table, because there was a woman sitting with her back to the table. She continued: "The smallest thoughts, such as... your world is not real."
"A small idea can change everything. So in your world, what is certain to be true? Do you think he is certain too?"
As she spoke, she turned her head. The woman at the table was indeed Mel, played by Marion: "Or is he as confused as I was at the beginning?"
In the quiet atmosphere, some unstable factors began to become active.
"I know what's true, Mel."
Lin Hao walked over gently and sat opposite her.
...
At this point, it's almost 1v1 between the two.
They are all top actors, and Nolan is looking forward to them.
"Don't you have the slightest doubt? Doesn't it bother you?"
In the camera, Marion leaned forward slightly, her tone low and affirmative: "Being chased around the world by unknown organizations and police, like a subconscious projection chasing the dreamer?"
"Admit it."
She continued to move forward, holding the man's head gently with both hands: "You no longer believe in reality, so choose one, choose to stay here, choose to accompany me."
Here, Lin Hao just looked into her eyes: "You know I can't. I want to go back to my children. You abandoned them because you abandoned us."
With a hint of analysis and certainty, he spoke this sentence slowly, clearly, and with certainty, as if he was telling a theorem of physics that is unquestionable.
"you are wrong."
"I don't."
"You are confused, our child is here." Marion was completely in the state, she stared into the other person's eyes, her softness was more firm than his.
Then ask:
"You want to see them again, right?"
It must be said that Marion's performance was at its best at this moment. She seemed to completely control the rhythm of this scene with her close body, confusing and strong emotions, and the calmness she spoke.
In the original film, Leonardo just acted.
There is no response to Marion’s paragraph.
This avoids being carried away by the opponent actor's play, but also reduces the feeling of back and forth. But Lin Hao handled it very lightly. He just closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them, there was suddenly a just right brightness: "Yes,
But I'm going back to reality to see them, Mel."
"Reality, listen to what you are saying, they are our children! See, James, Philippa?"
"Don't do this, please Mel, they are not my children."
"You always say this, but you don't know it yourself."
"No, I know."
"But what if you are wrong? What if I am true? You keep telling yourself what the truth is, but what do you really believe and what do you feel?"
"Guilt."
Now, the man finally admits: "I feel guilty, Mel."
...
"No matter what I did, no matter how desperate I was, no matter how confused I was, the guilt was always there, reminding me of the truth..."
"What truth..."
"I made you doubt reality."
"Have you implanted this idea into my consciousness?"
"His!"
This section of dialogue contains too much information.
Ellen Page couldn't help but trembled all over, her skin was prickled with goosebumps, and her whole body was numb.
She didn't get the complete script, so the truth revealed by the two people was a 180-degree turn from the previous version. Almost subconsciously, she asked: "What is she talking about...
"
Then she heard Lin Hao say: "The reason why I know that inception is feasible is because I did the first experiment on her..."
Peel away the cocoons and reveal the truth.
It turns out that Cobb implanted the idea that "this world is not real" into Mel's consciousness, and why did he do this...
Lin Hao thought it was Cobb because of the child.
Cobb is not a male protagonist in the traditional sense. He has obvious character flaws, such as arrogance and irritability. However, there is also love for his children throughout the film, which is also mentioned repeatedly in the dialogue between the two.
.
So Mel was immersed in a dream, and Cobb still cared about the children in reality. So he chose to implant this idea so that the two of them could return to reality through death - at that time, he and Mel were lying on the railroad tracks,
Ke Bu said:
"You're waiting for a train..."
"A car that can take you far..."
"You know where you want the train to take you..."
"You're not sure..."
"But it doesn't matter..."
"Then tell me why!"
Mel shouted, "Because you'll be with me!"
...
At this point, all the clues are connected one by one.
To be continued...
