The parallel world seen this Mid-Autumn Festival

During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the rainy days surrounded Hangzhou, and I had to work overtime on the last day of the holiday, so I had no interest in going out. I watched two movies in the two days I was in the dormitory. Yesterday I watched The Perfect Stranger, and today I watched The Night When the Comet Came.

Both movies are great. It was a dinner with a few friends, and the atmosphere of joy began. Because of some things, the development of the plot was promoted. Although "Perfect Stranger" has two endings, I don't think it is an expression of parallel time and space. I think it is the director's explanation. If all this does not happen, everyone will continue to watch with secrets. Seems like a good life. More like a director's assumption, assuming this happened, or assuming it didn't. This is wonderful. Just like we often assume, what would happen if we did this at the time, expecting to go back in time and give another chance from God, we will also imagine another scene in our minds. After the night when everyone's relationship fell apart, another version of being at peace is given. There is no need to pursue which one is the ending of the movie. After watching it, I am full of sighs. Compared with the relaxed atmosphere of all kinds of gossip in "Perfect Stranger", "The Night When the Comet Came" is more tense and tired. From the preparations before the dinner party at the beginning, the scenes in "Perfect Stranger" will reveal some abnormal behaviors to hang the audience's appetite, and it is easy to think why she/he does this. In order to create a natural perspective in "Comet", the picture feels shaking all the time, and the communication between the characters seems to be very casual in the early stage, and there seems to be nothing wrong, which makes the beginning a bit boring, until they found out When the other house was the same as the one here, his sci-fi atmosphere was revealed. "The Comet", I think, is more about the application and deduction of Schrödinger's cat or the related theories of quantum physics mentioned in it. Different from "Perfect Stranger", "Comet" does exist parallel worlds, and there are countless parallel worlds, but the timing of discovering that you are in a parallel world seems to be at the same starting point. The director ignored the butterfly effect and directly put all the worlds into the same coincidence. For example, today several worlds are having dinner together, and the people who come here are the same, and the clothes are the same. If there is a parallel world, maybe after the heroine becomes a dance star, many things will change, there will be no time, be with another person, or will not come to the party. If parallel worlds appeared on the day the comet appeared, it would not fit the theory, because the two worlds themselves are parallel. This night should not be a starting point, but an opportunity.

There are many movies about parallel worlds. Does parallelism really exist? If there are countless parallel worlds according to the statement in "The Comet", what kind of state do these parallel worlds exist in? Existing in subjective consciousness, if it is an objective material existence, what kind of space can hold countless parallel worlds... I am curious. Compared with the parallel world, the butterfly effect is easier to convince me, but without the hypothesis of the parallel world, the butterfly effect is not so attractive. The butterfly effect is like a singer's concert, and the parallel time is the stage and lights inside. Without the stage and lighting, the singer can still sing very well, but the audience will not be so high.

Then go to work tomorrow.
