The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 479 A Unique Artwork
""Inception" - a near-perfect commercial film!"

Jiang Yong quickly tapped his fingers on the keyboard to draw up the 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. After returning home, he hurriedly greeted his wife and children, and after a brief wash, he closed the door of the study under the surprised eyes of his family. He couldn't wait. started writing film reviews.

He originally intended to write the title as "a perfect movie".

Considering that he himself still has a certain influence in the film critic circle, he can't write like a brain-dead fan. Although "perfect movie" is his true feeling at the moment, it is really inappropriate to write like this in his capacity.

You still have to be reserved.

And the feeling at this moment may be irrational, after all, it is less than two hours before the end of the movie.

So he changed the title to "A Near-Perfect Commercial Film" and added the words "proximity" and "commercial", which eased the intense emotion he expressed in the text.

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

"Gravity"

It was a groundbreaking film for Huaguo Industrial Films, and it was a real IMAX+3D film that only belonged to cinemas.

A movie that exploits the audiovisual spectacle to the extreme.

A strange film that takes place entirely in space.

Although the subsequent "Matrix" also shocked him, it was mainly shocked by the concept of science fiction. The presentation of the film itself was not very innovative, and it was in line with commercial film routines.

Of course, the powerful high-concept of "Matrix" perfectly conceals all of this. In fact, it is unfair to ask for a higher film narrative structure for this film.

The amount of information that needs to be conveyed to construct a shocking world view is also amazing, so a lot of dialogue is inevitable. It is already considered awesome to be able to integrate such a science fiction concept into a routine narrative logic.

The so-called fish and bear's paw can not have it both ways.

The more complicated the structure and narrative of the movie, the more elaborate the game, the simpler the story usually is. A simple story combined with a complex narrative structure can create a brain-burning movie.

High information content and complex film narrative structure are usually incompatible.

In Jiang Yong's opinion, "Inception" has successfully achieved all these.

The complex film structure is perfectly integrated with the amazingly informative world view structure.

The film has so much information and its structure is so complex that even Jiang Yong, whose brain is still excited, couldn't find the beginning of the film review, and didn't know where to start.

After being silent for a while, Jiang Yong quickly typed on the keyboard.

"A unique and stunning masterpiece!

For someone like me who rarely dreams in sleep (and probably has a poor memory and quickly forgets the next day), seeing a movie like this is incredibly exciting.

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

In my opinion, this is by far the biggest achievement of his illustrious writing-directing career, the culmination of his sci-fi creativity.

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

Truth and falsehood are the cornerstone of Chen Jingxing's very core science fiction concept.

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

Source code world and reality, matrix and reality, exchanged souls in dreams, even brains are transformed into mechanical prosthetics, are their memories real or illusory, how do false memories define what is 'me'?what is my soul

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

In addition, the personality of the wife split by the protagonist due to extreme guilt and remorse, and the subconscious projection of the target's main consciousness turned into passers-by in the dream, you can feel a strong sense of déjà vu in these concepts.

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

After talking about the concept of science fiction, let’s talk about the plot of this movie. The following involves spoilers. If you don’t want to read the spoilers, you can skip them, but I think the spoilers have little effect on the viewing experience.

This is a very strange movie.

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

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

If you're not used to paying attention to every little detail and dialogue in a movie, you can end up with a lot of confusion.

His greatness is not only the imaginative and creative visual pictures behind this theory, but also the genius's strong ability to implement details, which finally achieved an unparalleled stimulating effect.

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

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

There are so many amazing scenes done with an incredibly imaginative and very narrative device, time is manipulated through meticulous editing to provide a shocking audiovisual experience.

I'm sure some of them will stick in the viewer's mind for a long time (Barcelona's city-bending, upside-down and zero-gravity battles, anti-gravity avalanches on snowy mountains, getting stuck, dreams shattered, etc...).

Plus, there's an excellent cast to help Chan King Hang deliver all his messages.

And I think the concept that fascinates me the most in the movie is without a doubt the 'parasite in consciousness' - idea!
Crazier than stealing an idea from one's dream is planting an idea in one's dream.

If Chen Jingxing just made a story about stealing ideas from dreams that lives up to the movie's title, it would be enough to be a first-rate movie.

But it was not surprising that Chen Jingxing was not satisfied with this.

He went a step further and played with more abstract ideas of implantation, which it is difficult for ordinary people to find out the specific method of imagining.

Between the dimensions of people's hearts, through the subtle connection of emotions, unexpected choices are made.

A set of confusing numbers, a childhood paper fan, and a small spinning top can subvert a person's brain in an instant, reshape a person's cognition of the world, restore a person's emotion, and change a person's life. Human thoughts, injected into a negligible amount of ideas.

In a sense, the title of the movie "Inception" is also a deception, just like the protagonist fooled Chen Kun, the rich second generation, in the first dream in the movie, Chen Jingxing is also misleading or fooling audience……

...thankfully, in a mediocre world of remakes, reboots, adaptations, sequels, we're lucky enough to see something truly incomparable and different so far - a wonderful original film full of surprises, or even a A flawless commercial film where I see no real flaws.

Overall, this movie is unique, even a work of art.

At the same time, it cemented Chen Jingxing's status as one of the brightest film directors and screenwriters of his generation worldwide.

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

And "Inception" even made him surpass himself.

In the end, when you wake up from your dream, you will feel that reality is cruel.When you wake up from a nightmare, you develop feelings for the beauty of reality.

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

After finishing writing, he re-read the entire film review, and after confirming that there were no typos or sentences that were not smooth, Jiang Yong chose to send it.

Immediately, what came to my mind was a sense of loss after the excitement, and a sense of unreality as if I was still in a dream.

The stamina that a good movie brings to people is strong, and the confusion between dreams and reality has spread from the hero to the audience at some point.

When Luo Chen was spinning the top as if possessed by a demon, a certain magic of the movie seemed to pour into him.

When I walked out of the theater, it seemed that I had just had a long-term dream, and this strangeness of reality still has an aftertaste until now.
