"Happy Death Day 2" is a film that I am looking forward to very much. For "Happy Death Day 1", I gave a relatively high evaluation. It has played new tricks in horror and looping, and it is more exciting. But this "Happy Death Day 2" did completely change the genre. From a horror loop to a sci-fi heartwarming comedy, and a more successful one.
The English name of "Happy Death Day 2" is "Happy Death Day 2U", 2U can also be said to You, in fact, it has a double meaning, which is very memorable.
On the more complete basis of the previous work, it is obvious that a lot of thought has been spent. It even explained the reason why the heroine can cycle in the first part.
At the beginning, the yellow-haired Asian guy was killed in a cycle that day, which led to the hero and heroine of the first part, so the heroine was very proud to tell him that he had died 11 times!
And the one who chased and killed the yellow-haired brother was actually himself! It turned out that he wanted to end the loop but got caught up in a parallel time loop. There cannot be two "selfs" in the same world
Later, it was found that the cycle was caused by the sudden change in the energy of the "Sisyphus Quantum Cooling Reactor" built by Huang Fa and the others.
So the two yellow-haired brothers turned on the machine again when they were arguing, and the heroine had already gotten out of this cycle but was restarted at the beginning (she must have collapsed in her heart at this time). The female protagonist must be speechless to the male protagonist and the yellow-haired little brother, but after all, they have no memory of that incident. If you want to scold them, you will be dumbfounded. Later, when she came out back to that day, it was still quite funny.
But later the heroine discovered that this world was not her original world! She entered another dimension, a different parallel universe. In this dimension, the male protagonist actually got together with her roommate (not the murderer in the first movie, but another one), and the important thing is that her mother is still alive in this world! She was very surprised and decided to stay in this dimension.
But come to think of it, the baby killer didn't think that way, she was still murdered on her birthday and the cycle was repeated. So she found little brother Huang Fa and wanted him to help her end the cycle, but to start it again, you need a formula, and this formula has a lot of variables, and it's not enough to just calculate, so they thought of a way to let the heroine Die endlessly seeking variables to deduce formulas.
As a result, the heroine happily died and lived again and again! This part was funny too
But the female protagonist still likes the male protagonist very much in her heart. After all, so many things happened in the last movie. Although she can be with her mother in this dimension, she cannot have the male protagonist. The heroine is still difficult to choose. But then the man and her mother's remarks moved her. I think these passages are very philosophical:
Conversation between the hero and heroine:
"What if this isn't the life you're supposed to have?"
"So what? Should I go back to the dimension where my mother died? No, I can't lose her!"
"You've lost her. If staying here erases those memories, what's the point? You're living in someone else's world, it's not yours at all, your pain, your loss. That makes you , you have the opportunity to do what other people dream of. You can also say goodbye"
Hostess and Mother:
"Everyone has to make choices, that's life. Sometimes the past sends us in one direction, but the future calls us in another. Of course, if I had to choose, I'd choose your dad, and without him Without you, right?"
"But how do you know he's your real son?"
"I didn't know it at the time, I took a risk, I obeyed my heart, this is love, Xiaocui. You have to believe in love"
These big truths do tell us: when we are dissatisfied with the past, we complain about how many mistakes we have done in the past, and how much injustice God has given us, but we must also remember that those who have created us have no past and no future. Woolen cloth?
The heroine still decided to return to the original world that really belongs to us, a world without a mother, but a world of love with the hero.
But the final climax was like a farce, okay? I was already very involved, but the laugh at the back is completely low! Very poorly designed.
The killer of this world also changed from her roommate to this scumbag!
Do you know why? Her roommate was playing friends with him, and the heroine advised her not to have an extramarital affair with such a married man, so she broke up, but she didn't expect the scumbag and his wife to want to kill her, and his wife Still don't care? ? ! ! But the but! This scumbag later killed his wife and said, "I wanted to divorce you for a long time"? ? ? ? ? Brother, what logic is this, what nonsense is this? ? The foreshadowing is so good, and the ending is rotten? ? It's hard, okay?
Of course, the ending is that the heroine returned to her original dimension, being with the hero, she also accepted the fact that her mother had died. Yay ✌, Happy Ending! !
This film is generally satisfactory to me, even if it is a bit unfinished, it still makes me very satisfied. The horror elements in this film have been greatly reduced, and there are more funny and sci-fi things. But it seems to be very applicable, and it is very entertaining.
But after reading it, there are still some flaws.
Why can't the heroine have the best of both worlds in this world? She found out that her roommate was getting along with other men. She could tell the male lead and let them break up, but in order to highlight the theme of "choice", she could only let the female lead choose between these two dimensions, that is, the mother and the male lead. , but less convincing.
Then there is the logic. Every time the heroine cycled, Brother Huangfa and the others helped her without hesitation. Even when the heroine said, "It's all your fault", Brother Huangfa admitted and was willing to steal the machine to help her go back. . But one: It is your self in another dimension that causes all this, and you are absolutely right in this dimension. It is impossible for one person's affairs in different dimensions to be attributed to one person. The second is why the yellow-haired brother and the others are very serious and helpful when discussing how to solve the cycle, as if it will harm them? It stands to reason that they don't know her every time she dies, and you still live after her death, as if she didn't exist, so why bother to help someone who doesn't recognize her? ? If this is really reincarnation instead of a parallel world, then the whole universe will play with you, which is too powerful. . . Your "self" in other universes will not do these things because of your shortcomings. After all, you can figure it out, so can't the self in the world actually be? There are also many scenes, especially when the heroine goes to death to find variables for many times, their group behaves as if they knew each other before, which is very logical, after all, you only know each other for a few hours. . . . .
The last paragraph is that the protagonist and their machine were used by some senior staff, and they wanted to find someone to try it out, but they found the roommate (the one who is in love with the male protagonist), but I think if they are looking for a yellow-haired brother It's even better, because in the previous paragraph, there are two yellow-haired brothers in a chaotic time and space. If it's just because of the explosion of machine energy, why didn't the male protagonist and the female protagonist have chaos? If it is him who is trying out here, it can be proved that the application here has caused the existence of the past, and that there is a problem that causes him to want to kill "self". . In this way, there will be a sense of reincarnation in "Terrorist Cruise", isn't it better?
But in short, this film still plays a new trick, putting aside these small problems. If you don't think about it, this movie is worth watching. There are sci-fi elements of "Butterfly Effect" and "Back to the Future", as well as the cycle of "Edge of Tomorrow", and when Deadpool commits suicide like in "Deadpool 2", the heroine also has the same fancy suicidal laugh On the whole, it is a sincere work.
I still really like the looks of the heroine and the heroine, I think they are really suitable together! And in this film, the heroine's bitch is no longer hers alone. Everything in this movie is so cute! ! ! ! !
