Chapter 853: Pirates of Dreams
As night fell, a black car parked in front of the entrance of the Century City Emperor Entertainment Chain Cinema. Two black men with sunglasses quickly walked into the theater, and then entered the VIP cinema that had been booked in advance. After waiting for a long time, the opening of Warner Bros.'s opening lit up on the screen.
"Why are we watching Matthew Horner's movie?" Jada Smith looked very dissatisfied, "contributes the box office to him in vain!"
Will Smith was a little helpless about his wife and said, "Can you look farther? What's the use of more of our two tickets? What exactly is "Inception" like, directly affecting the "Kung Fu Dream" I invested in!"
Jada Smith snorted, "That Matthew Horner is just not getting along with us. He knows that our Kung Fu Dream has been scheduled, and he still has to put his videos on this weekend, which is obviously going to grab the box office."
"You can't say that." Will Smith remained calm. "In this film, Matthew Horner is only the male lead and the name producer, and has no say in production and schedule."
Jada Smith still looked like that, "He's a bastard, what can't he do?"
Hearing this, Will Smith suddenly fell silent. After all, many things cannot be ignored and heard.
Think about the anti-Matthew Horner minor league they established at the beginning. What ending did they get one by one? It's just a miserable outcome.
Francis Lawrence has long disappeared from the director circle. Naomi Harris ran back to the UK to change his career. The worst was undoubtedly Spike Lee, the pioneer of the Hollywood black movement. He went from a liberal democracy fighter to a garbage that everyone despised. He was addicted to alcohol and drug addiction and said that he would not live for a few years.
Speaking of which, because of his prudence, Jada Smith only made him stand up, and then saw that the situation was not good, he quickly apologized and changed his position, so he did not suffer too many negative effects.
But in the past two years, there have been almost no crew members who are willing to find him to serve as the leading actor in a first-line commercial production...
What happened, can Matthew Horner be related to what happened?
Fortunately, he is not those people, and fortunately he got "Green Lantern" from many competitors.
Not to mention anything else, as long as he can do Johnny Depp's level to "Pirates of the Caribbean", even if Matthew Horner wants to do anything, he has basically no way, and he may even win back the game.
The sudden soundtrack interrupted Will Smith's random thoughts, and then he focused on looking at the big screen.
This is not a typical science fiction movie, perhaps it is more appropriate to define it as a "contemporary action science fiction movie that takes place within the structure of consciousness". The film tells it not the future world, but the current real world. A new biological information technology has been developed, allowing people to enter the hearts, thinking or dreams of others through this means.
After watching it for a while, Will Smith felt that Inception was somewhat like the Matrix or the Minority Report complex.
A completely new technology has emerged in the world of the film, which allows people to enter other people's dreams, thereby spy on others' privacy and stealing important intelligence.
Unprepared, Dreams have become the best way to enter the human subconscious. The protagonist, Justin Cobb, played by Matthew Horner, is a thief, a veteran thief. Unlike most "three hands", he does not need to throw away other people's wallets.
In this world, there is a very strange name for people like him.
His specialty is to sneak into other people's dreams and steal valuable information and secrets in the subconscious. If necessary, he will carry out further memory transplantation and tamper with his memory.
As a pioneer dream inception, he naturally has a team. He and his team were employed by a wealthy Japanese businessman, invaded the dream of a wealthy businessman, and implanted memories to let the wealthy businessman cut and split his company, which was almost an impossible task...
To be precise, this story is not complicated, but the film uses relatively complex narrative techniques.
As a star who has starred in many box office science fiction films, Will Smith has a clear understanding of science fiction films, especially commercial science fiction films.
Most science fiction movie stories are actually very simple and direct, and they can be said to be straightforward. Someone on earth finds a way to escape and finally finds a solution to the aliens; or they suddenly fall into the pursuit of some kind of terrifying monster; or they are forced to start a life-changing adventure in a strange environment in the future...
The core of this repetitive, imitative, and mass-produced story is originally one of the characteristics of commercial films. If it is well shot, it will be widely circulated; if it is not well shot, it will often make the audience feel lacking innovate, gorgeous and empty, without personality, like fast food that is easy to get fed with.
"Inception" definitely does not belong to this genre.
Not long after the film was screened, he found that the plot of the film was complicated, ups and downs, and echoed invisible or obvious.
From the perspective of science fiction conception, the conception of "Inception" is not unprecedented and unique and novel.
This film is very attractive, but Matthew Horner's performance is not very outstanding. From his perspective, it is at most a normal one.
"It's just holding Christopher Nolan's thigh..."
Will Smith's thoughts were not revealed, "It's just a lucky bastard."
The most successful thing about this film is that the director makes the film fascinating and meaningful with wonderful narratives and perfect details. Most movies about virtual reality and dreams still focus on the real life part because it is difficult to present a complete dream world.
Christopher Nolan carefully demonstrated how to enter dreams, problems that may arise in dreams, how to wake up, etc., so that the dreams can completely form a complete world with their own unique laws, laws and logic.
With some puzzles and excellent visual effects, the whole film looks particularly charming.
"Matthew Horner is really lucky." Will Smith's idea became stronger and stronger. "It's true that he has some vision to choose such a special science fiction production."
What is the most feared of science fiction films like this? He has summarized the previous failures. The most feared thing is undoubtedly the magical and inexplicable type of "Cloud Map".
This movie is obviously not the case, and it seems that it has successfully avoided those pitfalls.
As the plot of the film deepens, Will Smith can see clearly that "Inception" is not intended to test the audience's IQ, so the plot is complicated but not intentional. Everything is needed for this shocking content.
It seems complicated, but without a single extra shot or a redundant line, missing a shot or missing a conversation will make the movie incomplete.
The plot is also quite clear, because the whole story has a very obvious main line, which is the dream invaders Cobb and Arthur. The consciousness of Fisher, the son of the British giant Fisher, who invaded Saito's rival, made him automatically disband his father's company after the death of Fisher.
This process is completed with a layered dream.
During this period, he saw all kinds of incredible visual wonders, such as the reversal of space and the resurrection of man.
All this seems impossible to happen in live-action movies, because live-action movies portray human dreams in extremely limited ways, including David Lynch, who is just playing with the snippet of reality and dreams in a single space.
The amazing thing about this film is that the dream described can do whatever you want and subvert the recognized physical laws of mankind at will.
Will Smith sighed. Even though he had some thoughts before, he had to admit that Matthew Horner was very clear-headed and never touched those niche movies, and was always in the public's vision.
Perhaps this is also the key factor in his ability to climb to the superstar position.
The film starring Matthew Horner is still facing more audiences as always, and is not limited to so-called senior movie fans or professionals.
In addition, the producer fully realized the strengths of Matthew Horner and deliberately added the action film skills he was good at. These seemingly vulgar plots are of great significance in the film. They not only serve as a buffer for the incredible plot, but also make some viewers who are used to watching popcorn movies have a friendly sense of return so that they will not lose their way in this relatively complex narrative.
At the end of the film, Will Smith looked at Jada Smith, who had been impatient, but sat down and didn't move, because based on past years of experience, Matthew Horner's new film is very likely to be a big hit.
He couldn't help but shake his head. In the past five or six years, will any movies starring Matthew Horner not explode in box office?
"Let's go!"
Will Smith stood up and greeted Jada Smith out of the VIP room, gradually realizing one thing that Matthew Horner was throwing other Hollywood stars farther and farther away.
But thinking about the past, he still had no good feelings for Matthew Horner.
In contrast, he admires Christopher Nolan, a British director with outstanding abilities and some "second-hand" creativity that Hollywood has used long ago, once he blends it, it exudes a breathtaking charm.
At the Chiefs Stone Theater in Los Angeles, when the film was subtitled, the audience burst into extremely warm applause. Matthew also stood up and clapped his palms. At the same time, he turned his head slightly and looked back. The applause was particularly loud in the place where ordinary audiences were arranged behind him, and it lasted for several minutes without a stop.
"Inception" is not as neglected as those complicated films, but is quite popular with the audience.
This is definitely not a philosophical and profound film for the sake of philosophy or for the sake of profoundness.
Chapter completed!
