In fact, it is not, because this Browning on this layer is not the consciousness of "real" Browning himself, but only a projection of Fisher's subconscious, which is essentially one with Fisher's consciousness, so even if this projected version of Browning is connected to the "Braised Chicken" and enters the next layer of "Snow Castle" dream, it will only be the embodiment of Fisher's consciousness, and will not appear again.

At the same time, Arthur, who was guarding this layer, was attacked by more bodyguards, but the van crashed out of the guardrail in the dream world on the upper floor, and the dream state on this layer was in a weightless state. After Arthur takes out a group of bodyguards, he moves Kobo, Eames, Arlene, Saito, and Fisher into the elevator, and the power of the explosion ignites the kick of this round.

4. "Attack on Snow Castle" - This one is in Eames' dream (remember that Kobo also said something to Eames saying something like "This is your dream"), in order to get Fisher to find the ultimate answer he was looking for - what his father's last will was. However, Kobo's subconscious guilt came out to make trouble again: the consciousness-projected Monelli came out and shot Fisher, confirming what Ah Lian said to Kobo earlier: "The deeper the dream penetrates, the more damage Monel can cause due to guilt". And Saito's serious injuries on the layer of "Robbery in the Rain" finally soaked into this layer, and he was unable to move and even dying.

If Fisher died, he would not be able to plant his mind, and Kobo was going to give up, but Ah Lian offered to take a risk and save Fisher from Ah Lian. The key here is, where did they rescue Fisher?

It is very likely that different people here will have different opinions after reading it, and the focus is on whether Kobo and Ah Lian will "connect" into Fisher's near-death dream next, or "advance" into the "Limbo state" that can be shared after death in multiple dreams?

Du Xinghe felt that this question was actually irrelevant, and it would not change the dream logic explained earlier. If Kobo and Arlene are connected to the dream of a dying Fisher. This kind of dream itself has become a "Limbo state" because the upper layer Fisher died, and the consequences of "dreaming into" the Limbo state without connecting to Fisher and relying solely on Kobo's own ability are the same.

However, facts speak louder than assumptions; Keep your eyes peeled for every scene of Fisher lying on the snow castle floor, and see if he has a wire in his hand connected to the "stewed chicken" that Kobo and Arlene dreamed of? Absolutely nothing. Du Xinghe has watched it N times and can confirm this. Therefore, Ke Bo did rely on his own ability to take Ah Lian into the "Ling Bo State".

Meanwhile. After arming the bodyguards and setting up the explosives, Eames on this floor took out a piece of heart shocker to save the dying Fisher in a physiological sense, and with the "Mental Consciousness" level of Fisher in the "Limbo state", they were successfully rescued from Monelli's control by Kobo, Fisher came to life in this layer of "physical and mental unity", and opened the password valve, met his father before he died, understood the secret, and strengthened the idea of breaking up the company and flying solo by himself in the touch of love.

A "serious emperor" like Fang Yajun would have a problem here: even if she believed Du Xinghe's crap about Fisher's resurrection from the "Ling Bo state". But he was obviously shot by Monelly, how did he wake up like no one? There has to be a saying!

Fang Yajun's question is good, and the serious spirit is worth encouraging; However, in Du Xinghe's view, what happens in dreams is actually a role of consciousness, which has nothing to do with the physical body, and cannot be viewed by the standards of the real world. Fisher's death and resurrection in a dream. The difference is only between the confusion of consciousness and the sobriety; The images in the dream are just a visual representation of consciousness. The enchanting side of dreams. It's that when you wake up, you may feel incredible and incomprehensible, but in your dreams, you are completely convinced of what you have experienced.

Later, Ah Lian fell from a high altitude in the "Ling Bo state" and died, thus waking up to this layer of dreams; Saito was seriously injured and died, and his consciousness entered the "Limbo state"; Eames pressed the remote control, and the explosives exploded. The collapse of the snow castle in response to the explosion of the elevator in the dream of the upper "hotel"; Eames, Arlene, and Fisher were able to "wake up" all the way. Poor Cobo, the consciousness is left in the "Limbo state", and the "flesh" in the dream realm of the "Snow Castle" layer is dead again, so. The consciousness is still in the "Limbo state", just in time to save Saito.

6. "Save Arthur" - According to the setting of "Limbo State", the subconscious of people who have died in any layer of dreams is trapped in this state, and the environment of this state will reflect the architectural setting of people who have entered the Limbo state. Therefore, when Cobo and Ah Lian entered the Limbo state, they saw the urban environment that Cobo had built with Monelli before; And this environment is in decay and decay, indicating that this subconscious state has existed for too long.

Fang Yajun, who watched the movie seriously and thought hard, had another question at this time: Didn't you say that Ling Bo was in an extremely dazed state? Why do both Kobo and Ah Lian seem to be sober?

This has to start with the first time that Kobo and Monelli first entered the "Limbo state". Although the film does not explicitly say it, it is vaguely mentioned that the two of them are "playing while real" in multiple dreams, and somehow they reached the "Ling Bo state".

Judging from the only clip in the film about the two of them in the "Limbo State", they retain a clear sense of self, at least knowing who they are and who the other party is. The reason why Britney was later confused and couldn't tell whether it was in a dream or reality was because she was bored and began to construct the buildings in her life memories (hometown, home when she was pregnant, etc.), and constructed life memories in her dreams, which may also include projecting children in reality, so that there is nothing wrong with the family living in the "Limbo state". Over time, Monelli's consciousness chooses to give up on the verification of dreams and reality, and the film uses the image of "she locks her spinning top totem into the safe" to express this renunciation. Since there is "renunciation", there is the previous "sobriety". Moreover, after Monelli gave up, Kobo was still bent on returning to reality with Monelli, which shows that people in the "Limbo state" can still clearly realize that it is a "non-real" state. So, when Kebo and Ah Lian entered the "Limbo state". The two of them knew where they came from and where they were going.

If we can be so sober, then the "extreme dazedness" mentioned in the previous "Limbo state" setting is not Bulchit. You. Miscellaneous. Dimension. Gram. Play. Die. Hope. Special. Le")? Not really. Because in multiple dreams, the two ways of entering the Ling state of "death entering" and "stewed chicken" may have different effects on the subconscious. Comrades who burp in a dream but can't wake up may have their consciousness traumatized and become muddy. It is only possible to "live subconsciously". But this is obviously an assumption made to make the details of the film conform to the ordinary logic, there is no real situation, and the "science of imagination" is blank here.

Back to the plot: in the previous dream, Fisher was killed by Kobo's subconscious fictional Monelli, which in his subconscious (or "dream" world) would visualize Fisher being kidnapped by Monelli. Kobo finds Mosher in a room in the building she likes, and after a bit of chirp and terror (unlimited content, Damnit!), Kobo confronts his guilt and allows Arlene to rescue Fisher. Here's what it is. It is the strong connection between Monet's ability and Kobo's inner guilt, and the more Kobo feels guilty and escapes, the stronger Monelli's ability to come out and stir things up. And once Cobb is able to face up to this guilt, he will no longer be an object of self-punishment; In the dream, this figurative surface xiàn is Monelly, who changes from aggressive to well-behaved and clingy.

Kobo asked Arlene to jump off the building (commit suicide) after saving Fisher, and wake up back to the "Snow Castle" layer dream, while he himself chose to stay in the "Limbo state", on the one hand, to accompany Monelli (subconsciously attached to Britney), and on the other hand, to save Saito (because he knew that Saito was dead in the "Snow Castle" layer at this time, and his subconscious mind was somewhere in the "Limbo state").

7. "Save Saito" - This is the first thing that needs to be explained. It's a matter of time difference, because when Kobo meets Saito. Saito already looked too old (his whole face was no different from a walnut), and Kobo showed no signs of special age other than fatigue and malaise. Didn't Kobo enter the "Limbo state" before Saito? Judging from the picture, this is indeed the case: when Kobo and Ah Lian entered the "Limbo state", Saito was not dead. So why did Kobo look younger than Saito later?

You know, that's in the "pure subconscious". It is difficult to say that there is an absolutely linear logic of time, and the concept of time depends entirely on the projection of the individual's subconscious, and it is likely that you feel very "chicken" and lonely, and you are not familiar with the environment, and you do not have the memory of coping with the "Limbo state" before. It always feels like the years are hopeless; In short, if you feel that "life is like a year", then your subconscious will automatically project a picture of you who has gone through N years of vicissitudes. If, on the other hand, there is a purpose in mind - such as when Kobo is soberly aware that he wants to find Saito and rescue him - although it is such a difficult task to explore each other's subconscious that you feel that you have exhausted all your energy and have forgotten the meaning of being in the "Limbo state", the age of the projected individual image because you are not so concerned with time will not be as old as Saito in "I-am-so-lonely".

As for how exactly Kobo found Saito, it's impossible to say clearly; Again, the subconscious mind is a "state", not a "space", and it is difficult to use the logic of "searching for the whole world" as a real space. This thing is purely of the "find it and find it" type.

In short, after the meeting between Kobo and Saito, Tong Guò Gyro realizes that he is in the "Limbo state", although the film screen cuts to the scene of the "reality layer" 747 first class until Saito's hand touches the pistol - that is to say, there is no indication at all how Kobo and Saito woke up: from the "Limbo state" to the "reality" directly, or first woke up to the "rain robbery" dream and then woke up with everyone after waiting for the "reality" layer "stewed chicken" to shut down? - However, it can be "reasonably surmised" that in "Limbo State", Saito first killed Kobo and then committed suicide to wake up, and the specific hierarchical order of awakening is already irrelevant to the movie. The rest of the matter has already been said before: Saito called, Ke Boshun went out of the customs, and everyone dispersed to act; When Kobo returned home, he spun the top and ran to his children, who turned slightly crooked and crooked......

Speaking of which, in the end. It's finally time for Du Xinghe to explain the end to Fang Yajun: Did the spinning top stop? Is Kobo back to reality?

On the surface, the interpretation of this ending depends on people's imagination, and no matter what you think, it is really difficult for others who think differently to have conclusive counter-evidence; In other words, everyone can have their own interpretation of "believing it to be true" - this is one of the charms of this film.

Du Xinghe personally prefers to think that the ending is a reality that really happened (without quotation marks). Kobo did return to his relatives.

The direct proof is that the spinning top, which is indeed starting to tilt (to fall), whether it is the sound or the picture, this is very clear; Anyone who has turned the top knows that when it reaches this state, it is impossible to return to a stable and upright state.

In addition, in previous tests in dreams, including with Saito in the "Limbo State", the spinning top has always rotated steadily. There is no phenomenon like the end is crooked.

In addition, to understand the whole film from the perspective that the ending is realistic, the "system feeling" with coherent clues and plot ups and downs is the most complete; From this point of view, it is a perfect work with flesh and blood, both emotional core, and structural mystery, and the unfinished ending of the ending is a perfect ending to the introverted and profound film technique of the whole film; Du Xinghe likes this feeling, so he also tends to agree with the explanation of the ending that leads to such a perfect feeling.

However, if you can't avoid the question about totems mentioned in "Unspoken Rule Six". The "reality" of this ending is somewhat uncertain. If that gyroscopic totem is really not enough to distinguish between dreams and reality, then it doesn't tell the story of whether it falls or not. Because that's probably just what Cobo wants—he doesn't care if it's dreams or reality, and as long as he's with his family, nothing else matters.

In this way, the whole movie can also be understood as a complete dream, and the so-called reality has never appeared at all; The whole movie is just a dream of Cobb. From this point on. More plot conjectures can be derived: Are the other characters in the dream a projection of Kobo's consciousness (an impression that the people in the dream, such as Arthur and Xiaolian, may have come from a previous working relationship), or are they all, or in part, connected to a real "stewed chicken" that is not shown in the film? If it was Cobb's dream, was he doing another inception in his dream (to make his guilt for Monelli disappear)? Either did he use guò in his dreams to get rid of his mental baggage, or he couldn't stand the thought of not being able to reunite with his relatives in reality and self-hypnotized anesthesia? If there are other guys who are dreaming together, then is it someone else (Saito or Xiaolian) who is inception on Kobo? You can even imagine that Monelli is not dead at all. It's just that Kobo dreamed that she was dead, so she was sad and confused and scurryed around in various layers of dreams, and in reality, Monelli went down to the dream through guò "stewed chicken" to give Kobo an inception......

In addition, there is actually a saying that "part is a dream" in this film.

For example, some people will think that most of the films are dreams that Cobb has on the plane, and Arthur Xiaolian or something is a strange passenger, but he is just projected into a dream by Cobb; The evidence is that in the end, Kobo woke up and didn't talk to anyone, and he didn't say hello to anyone when he left the airport......

Others believe that the film begins with Cobb experiencing sedatives in Joseph's basement and ends with Cobb's dream; In other words, he did not wake up from Joseph's sedative at all, but dreamed until the end (implying that Saito, Eames and the others were probably Kobo's kind companions, knowing the guilt he felt for Monelli, and using this opportunity to help him heal......

Some people think that the second half of the film is Kebo's dream, but these comrades think that this dream began when Ah Lian and Kebo were alone in the "stewed chicken" in the general section of the film; In other words, this part of the comrades assumed that Arlene was invited by Miles to relieve Kobo's pressure: Miles knew that Kobo couldn't let go of what happened to Monelli, so he invited his best students to perform a stress-relieving inception on Kobo......

And then there's ...... And then there's ...... It's endless, isn't it? Du Xinghe has seen all kinds of inferences about dreams, but these ideas are certainly very interesting, and fully show that the people of the era in which he lived still maintained their revolutionary enthusiasm in a harmonious society. However, as they suspected, none of these hypotheses could be verified, because it was never possible to find a film showing the original motives of these "alternative explanations". Although they can borrow the truth of "no way to know how the dream begins" to prove that there is no need to show all the clues, they have to admit that these explanations will make the film itself in a strict structural imbalance; In particular, the so-called "partial dreaming theory". One by one, the overall setting was ruined (just to do a little bit of Kobo and did so many moves in the front, and then I didn't explain it).

Du Xinghe knows very well that director Nolan's head is a more complicated head, but it is definitely not an overly nonsense head; Moreover, he attaches much more importance to the structure of the film than most of his colleagues. He doesn't sacrifice the balance of the film's structure in order to play with a few more possible dream elements. At most, he wanted his work to remain in a state of cautious and subtle divergence, like a little wine. The state of being slightly drunk and thinking is unusually developed and open-minded, but not crazy and confused - brothers and sisters who like to drink two cups should have this experience, this is the most wonderful state.

Du Xinghe thinks that "Inception" has reached this state perfectly. Those who love it may be willing to go crazy about it, but the movie itself is always subtle, calm, cautious, calm and intelligent, just like director Nolan himself - a film genius.

Although "Inception" is not as powerful as the "Matrix" series, this film is a top-notch sci-fi masterpiece.

After listening to Du Xinghe's analysis of the video. Fang Yajun's understanding of "Inception" is also fuller, and she even imagines wanting to go to such a world to break through, wanting to see what the dream in her mind is like. But it's a pity that a movie world of the level of "Inception", if you break in, it will definitely be the first layer of the illusion world (dream), and they have now been reduced to the third layer of the illusion world, and then dive down. It could only be lower, and it was almost impossible for her to break into the world of Foundation, which was very likely to be on the same level as the world of "Lost".

After watching "Inception" this night. Fang Yajun was in high spirits, and begged Du Xinghe to show her several classic science fiction movies to quench her thirst. It wasn't until the sun was about to come out at dawn the next day that Fang Yajun felt sleepy.

Du Xinghe was also sleepy at this time.

After all, the two had just experienced a fight with the sea the day before and were exhausted. They have to make up for a good sleep and completely rejuvenate their spirits. Conquer this so-called world of illusions again.

But an unknown problem lies ahead of them - they will sleep this time, and they may well sneak into a lower and more dangerous world.

In the new world, they will not be as comfortable as they are in the world of "Single Men and Women".

Du Xinghe was worried about whether Fang Yajun was ready to conquer the difficult world.

Fang Yajun was already deeply attracted by Du Xinghe's "Illusion World Theory" at this moment, and she didn't think about the Zhang family, she was full of curiosity and expectation about the new world. At the same time, she was a little cautious, but she felt that she was ready.

"Let's sleep." Fang Yajun held her eyes that couldn't be opened, and finally said to Du Xinghe: "No matter what kind of world you go to, as long as you are around, I am not afraid." ”

Hearing Fang Yajun say this, Du Xinghe was very pleased. No matter how far they have come, no matter how difficult the obstacles, they have overcome them, so why are they afraid of the distance now?

No matter what kind of world they broke into next, Du Xinghe was determined to protect Fang Yajun, not only to cultivate positive energy in Fang Yajun's subconscious, but also a good way for him to get rid of loneliness.

Before, he was wandering alone in the dream world, and he was so lonely, but now, with Fang Yajun by his side, this made his battle in the dream more practical and meaningful, and also made his fighting spirit more sufficient.

Enjoying a kind of happiness that can be shared with others, Du Xinghe gently held Fang Yajun in his arms, and also closed his eyes and fell asleep......
