America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 316 314. People will be confused at the beginning

Wow...

As the tide rises and falls, Cobb, played by Bell, opens his eyes from the beach and looks at the two children with their backs to him in front of him, with a look of confusion and helplessness on his face. He is then taken to see the elderly Saito.

"A long, long time ago, I saw this top, and someone told me that it could implant consciousness in people's minds."

Saito fiddled with the top, turning it slightly on the table, and then the screen suddenly switched.

When the camera showed him again, the face of young Ken Watanabe appeared, still in this house, but everything gave people a different feeling.

The sharp-eyed audience immediately realized that the old man just now was also Ken Watanabe, but one was old and about to die, while the other was full of life and was eating steak.

Fellow directors could tell at a glance that this was Eric's trick.

"Mr. Saito, what do you think is the most deep-rooted thing in the human body that cannot be removed?"

"Is it flesh, bacteria, viruses or something else? Intestinal worms?"

Saito was chewing steak carefully at this time. When he heard the word intestinal worms, he glanced at Cobb with some displeasure.

The camera showed Arthur, played by Heath Ledger, who was dressed meticulously, and his angular face in a suit gave him a completely different look than before.

In terms of handsomeness, he is inferior to Bell, who is also in a suit and tie next to him.

But since he has never worn a suit on the big screen, it is really refreshing and allows the audience to have a deeper understanding of him.

"What Cobb means?" Arthur hurriedly tried to make amends.

"It's consciousness, which is both stubborn and contagious. Once an idea is formed, it's difficult for people to get rid of it."

"So you can just steal it?"

"Yes, when people are asleep, their defenses and vigilance will be lowered, and we can sneak into the dreamland to steal your thoughts or change them."

"Mr. Saito, we can train your subconscious so that you can fight against the best dream stealers."

"Why should I trust you?"

"Because I am the best dream stealer!"

This is not a long conversation, but it contains a lot of information, and even puts the main theme of the movie directly in front of the audience.

Thoughts, dreaming, dream stealing, subconsciousness, defense...

"'Inception', so the name of the movie is not meant to be suspenseful, it really tells the story of dreams." Patty Jenkins thought to herself.

"Dreams, changing thoughts and dreams, interesting ideas, somewhat similar to what I once imagined."

Nolan couldn't help but raise his lips: "Did Eric Cooper and I want to go together? Then let me see how you can tell this story."

Saito wiped his mouth and stood up to leave: "Enter the two guests well, and we will chat when we have time."

Seeing the target leaving, both Arthur and Cobb had solemn expressions on their faces.

"Something's wrong Cobb, he seems to realize it."

Boom boom boom

Then the whole building began to tremble, as if a huge earthquake had suddenly erupted.

Cobb's pupils shrank violently, and he looked down at his watch: "Damn it! What's going on?"

Click!

As the second hand moved, when Cobb looked up, the scene had changed again.

In a private house, Cobb, Arthur, and Saito were all sleeping.

And there was a parade and celebration going on outside, with the huge drums beating constantly, causing the glass of the surrounding houses to tremble.

But it was very strange that such a loud noise could not wake up the three of them.

The nurse next to him checked the conditions of the three people and said to himself: "Why did the celebration start early?"

Then, with a close-up of the dancing girl on the float, the scene changed back to the place where the three of them were eating steak.

Cobb and Arthur were discussing how to deal with Saito. Not far away, Mel, played by Theron, appeared at some point and stared at Cobb intently.

Theron was wearing an evening gown. Her beautiful appearance was a bit cold, but it did not prevent her from exuding elegance.

Many male viewers immediately shouted yes in their hearts, this is what we want to see.

Eric's women are also watching this scene, Gadot, Ashley, Mary, Elizabeth, Xiao Liu, Da Liu, Arjun, Daddario.

Everyone had to admit that she was so beautiful, had an indescribable grace, and was the most perfect woman created by God.

Only Nicole doesn't think so, because she knows that her wonderful performance in the movie will not be weaker than that of her opponent.

Whenever she appears on the stage, everyone will fall in love with her.

"Cobb, why did she appear again?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Cobb walked to the balcony and came face to face with Mel.

"If I jumped from here, do you think I could survive?"

"You shouldn't be here!"

Mel turned her face sideways, her eyes clearly showing love: "I thought you would miss me."

Cobb was stunned for a moment, his expression became a little complicated, and he said guiltily: "Of course I miss you."

"Are the kids okay?"

"Kids. Yes, yes, they're fine."

"So what is your and Arthur's purpose? To steal Saito's secrets from him?"

Cobb looked down at the time again: "Mel, I don't have much time. We can talk about these things next time."

Then came Bell's wonderful sneak assassination scene, knocking down the guards one by one with a silenced pistol.

However, in reality, even if a silencer is installed, the noise of the gun still exists, which cannot reach the level of silent assassination.

Don't try it, it is all adapted by literary works and film and television dramas to serve the plot.

In the end, Bell opened Saito's safe and took the things inside.

Just when he thought the mission was completed, Mel blocked him with Saito, and Arthur was also captured.

"Put down your weapons and the things in your hands, Mr. Cobb."

Facing the situation that his companion was pointed at the head with a gun, Cobb did not put down his weapons, but still asked unwillingly: "Did Mel tell you? Or did you know it a long time ago?"

Saito suddenly laughed: "Do you mean your identity as a thief? Or are we in a dream?"

"Tell me who sent you? Who is dealing with me?"

Seeing that the other party saw through it, Cobb simply stopped pretending: "Killing people in a dream is useless, you can't threaten me with this trick."

Mel smiled slightly: "Killing Arthur is indeed useless, it will only make him wake up, but what if you just inflict pain on him?"

Bang!

With one shot, Arthur's leg was shot through, and he immediately knelt on the ground and howled in pain.

"Arthur, the pain will remain in your mind forever. Judging from the style, this should be your dream. I hope Cobb will cherish your life and not treat me like me."

As a result, just as Mel finished speaking, Cobb raised his hand and shot Arthur to death.

In an instant, the whole building began to collapse, as if the final boss was defeated in the game and the villain's nest must be blown up.

At this time, the scene began to cross between dreams and reality. Arthur in reality has woken up, and Cobb in the dream is still reading Saito's secret in the collapsed building.

Seeing that Cobb couldn't wake up, he had a falling method for him.

But at the same time, Saito also woke up, and there was a fight in the room, and Saito was subdued.

It has only been more than ten minutes since the beginning of the movie. Due to the constant switching of scenes, ordinary audiences have been dizzy.

I don't quite understand what's going on, so I can only follow the plot.

Professional film critics, directors and actors can roughly figure out the cause and effect relationship.

"Inception is a really novel idea and theme. Eric Cooper used a very complicated approach this time."

"It's not too complicated. Just go through the fast-switching scenes and you'll find that it roughly follows a linear narrative."

"Cobb and Arthur were hired to steal Saito's secret, which is the document in the safe."

"It also reveals that dreams have hosts. Once the host dies, the dream will collapse, and you will wake up even if you die in the dream."

"What about Mel?"

"Mel and Cobb must have a relationship. They have children. They are probably husband and wife? Or ex-wives? But now they are enemies."

"But Mel is not among the people sleeping in the room. Why did she appear in Arthur's dream to cause trouble?"

"This is also what I'm confused about. There will definitely be an explanation later."

But just when many professionals thought they had understood the plot, Saito in the picture suddenly laughed.

"You can't fool me. This is not my safe house at all. I never use low-end polyester carpets."

"This is still a dream, a dream within a dream. You have built two layers of dreams in an attempt to deceive me. Hahahaha."

Seeing that the plan failed, the dream-stealing gang had to retreat.

The scene was switched again. This time, several people slept on a train, or more precisely, the Japanese Shinkansen.

"Fuck! Dream within a dream, there is such a setting!"

Many professionals who thought they understood it suddenly felt fooled. Suspense, science fiction, changes and interweaving, suddenly they could no longer tell what type of movie this was.

But no matter what type it is, one thing that can be determined is that it is really fucking wonderful.

Some movies can attract the audience to their seats with just a beginning. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, as long as you feel it is awesome. "Inception" is undoubtedly such a movie.

"Haha. Charles, do you still think you understand it?"

"Not really. The setting of multi-layered dreams gives this story countless possibilities. This is a movie that no one can predict the next development."

"But there are many confusing plots for us. I can already imagine the feelings of ordinary audiences."

"Don't rush to draw conclusions. This movie is completely beyond Eric Cooper's past style. Let's see how he tells this story later."

The plot of the movie continues. Cobb and Arthur are captured by Saito in reality and hired to do things for him.

You can come to my brain to steal secrets, this time I want you to implant consciousness in the opponent's mind.

Under the temptation of going home, Cobb finally agreed and found his father-in-law, who was also his teacher who entered the dream field, for help.

"As long as I can help my employer complete this mission, I can go home and reunite with my children. You must help me."

"Cobb, you can take care of everything by yourself. You are an excellent dream builder."

"I used to be."

"What?"

"Mel.Mel appears again. She will prevent me from completing the mission. I can no longer be a dream builder."

"And the last mission failed because the teammates I found temporarily were unreliable. I must form a stronger team. If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't come to you for help."

"Well, I do know someone who is a very good dream expert."

"Where are they?"

"Don't worry, Alliredne is a proud woman. If you want her help, you must pass the test."

Cobb snorted and laughed: "No problem, I just want to test the strength of my new teammates."

With the help of her father-in-law, Alliredne, played by Neeko, appeared on the stage.

With long golden and red hair, wearing a tweed coat, lace black gloves on her hands, her eyebrows and eyes give people a feeling that she is not easy to mess with.

Then the three fell asleep, and Cobb and Alliredne entered Arthur's dream at the same time. They wanted to use this place as a battlefield to decide the outcome.

On the bridge of the Seine River, the two looked at each other face to face.

"I found you, Aliridni, you lose!"

The breeze blew, ruffling Neeko's long hair: "You got the wrong Cobb, it's not that you found me, it's that I think the game of hide-and-seek is boring."

"We are both good at manipulating dreams, and we are all interested in peeking into the secrets deep in people's hearts."

"Now I really want to know your secret."

"What do you want to know?"

"Why do you need two dream builders?"

"Because I am responsible for controlling the overall situation and cannot be distracted."

"Humph! This is just an excuse. Tell me the deepest reason, and I can consider helping you."

Aliridni's idea of ​​digging out secrets immediately touched the scars deep in Cobb's heart. He was a little annoyed: "Ma'am, you should be more polite."

"You invited me to do something illegal, but asked me to be respectful, Cobb, something must have happened to you."

"Shut up!"

Because his scars were poked continuously, Cobb's anger was completely ignited. He suddenly waved his right hand, and the surface of the Seine River was instantly turbulent, and the waves dozens of meters high rolled Neeko into the bottom of the water.

In front of the big screen, the audience was stunned when they saw this scene.

What's going on? How did he suddenly become Harry Potter? Can he do magic?

"Cobb, in dreams, we are all omnipotent. We don't need to carry out tasks and have no scruples. Let me try you before Arthur's subconscious wakes up!"

Aliridni's voice rang out from all directions, and then the ground began to shake, and high-rise buildings folded into various shapes to attack Cobb.

The beautiful and bizarre scene was like being in a kaleidoscope, and everything around was turning and twisting.

It was obviously a straight building made of steel, but under the control of Neeko, it was like a Rubik's Cube twisting and changing splicing at will, dazzling the people who watched it.

Facing the living building, Cobb was not panicked. There was no need to worry about Mel here. He was also a top dream builder.

With a heavy step, the house that was about to crush him suddenly began to twist in the opposite direction, as if a hand was twisting the Rubik's Cube upside down.

Cobb stared at Aliridni with burning eyes: "The best dream builder? Let me teach you what the best means!"
