Schrodinger's cat

The cat repeatedly mentioned in the movie should be Schrodinger's Cat, the cat that was alive and dead before opening the box. This is a paradox that illustrates the unpredictability of the field of quantum mechanics, the core idea of ​​this experiment is that because there is no observer when the event occurs, the cat in the box exists simultaneously in all its possible states (both dead and alive) .

In the final film, the hero himself is like a cat in a box in his sleep, both dead and alive, in a world that no one knows about. This metaphor is not only a vernacular metaphor for the transformed human body, but also a philosophical metaphor for the final meaning of the protagonist's life.

Maybe the screenwriter wants to hint something, but the repeated lines of the cat in the film may not be suitable for the theme of the film. This important narration should be closely related to the spirit of this article. However, it is used to describe the last life form of the protagonist. I think it's more appropriate, because whether the male protagonist is still alive, from a materialist point of view, he is no longer alive in a strict sense, but from an idealist point of view, he is still alive. Perhaps my strange understandings stemmed from the director's arrangement of the film's themes too loosely.

    Looking at Jude Law’s face, I almost couldn’t keep going. The concept of the film was a good novel reality, but it was too bloody, and a lot of shots of human organs were nauseating.

  • T-Bone: You from the IRS?

    Remy: No.

    T-Bone: Soul suckers, taking everything back.
