Involves spoilers and personal touches

The heroine jumps off the building and forces the adult Nick to contact her childhood self, so that the heroine can return to the time point of the first line. The scene about the connection between the two Nicks in the play is skipped, according to the ending: the heroine wakes up from the bed and still lives with her husband and daughter in the first line; the husband who killed his wife and Carla walked past the door pull.

It's this scene that confuses me, what did the male protagonist do in the last dialogue with himself? I thought I would tell where my corpse was buried when I was young. At the end, the heroine relied on her own memory to find out where her neighbor's body was buried, giving justice that came 25 years later. So the last call I can only understand is that the adult Nick told the young self to do nothing, not to wait for the heroine at the stop sign, and not to worry about the murder case? It's only by thinking that I can figure out why my neighbors weren't arrested. But looking at it this way, it's just to fulfill the heroine's wish and let her return to the life she wants.

But the key point is, has the male protagonist considered the justice of the murdered wife? If the heroine does not have the memory of this chaotic timeline (in fact, I don't think there should be), then this murder case will not be discovered, and looking at the third line, the only one who remembers the burial location is the heroine , and the heroine's memory is that the neighbor, the husband of the deceased, is the only murderer, but the contradiction lies in the plot, the memory of the deceased husband is that Clara killed the deceased by mistake, and the husband came to bury the body. Little Nick's memory is that the neighbor's husband killed the deceased and buried the body. It only proves that the watch that Clara appeared at the murder scene was handed over to the police. The adult male protagonist of the third line looked at it at the end and did not associate it with the police. Clara was linked and did not follow up on the case. And the second line, who guessed all of this, the male protagonist has forgotten everything. It can be said that Clara, as the real murderer, may always be at large. In the plot, the female protagonist wants to go back to the past because of her daughter and this stranger The timeline has only flashbacks, but no real experience. But as a key point Nick, he forgot everything at the end. The murderer who witnessed the shredded corpse got away with his own eyes. Nick, who is a policeman again, can only wait for others to unravel the murderous veil. The Nick portrayed in the movie gave me the feeling that because of the heroine, I got a chance to be reborn, and I have been waiting for the appearance of the heroine. Everything that affects Nick is not the case, but the heroine, for the heroine. Existence, of course, the deviation caused by personal perspective cannot be ruled out, but the handling of this case in the play is still a stalk in my heart

    Good ending! The heroine is really a winner in life. Turning around, the last cute daughter and meaty boyfriend are not lost... Since it is a suspense film, don't analyze it as a science fiction film. The story is still good. But the first half of the preparation is a little boring, the overall rhythm is slow, and I just watched "Happy Death 2" a few days ago, the plot was a bit bumpy.

    1. Extremely wonderful play, advancing from time to time, startling step by step, reversing layer by layer, which is moving. 2. It draws on [Butterfly Effect] and [Black Hole Frequency], but it is even better in terms of dog blood. In the shaping of the character core, the Spanish-style derailment and adultery and the persistence and persistence of the hero and heroine are juxtaposed and compared. Then unexpectedly and logically led to the last two astonishing reversals. 3. The audio-visual language is also remarkable, the theme soundtrack, changing tones, skilled editing and camera movements (such as zooming, raising and lowering the lens, and God's perspective) have always contributed to this fantastic and blurred dream. 4. The detail processing once again reflects the superb level of Spanish thriller and suspense films. The problem of the ending and the time paradox is actually unavoidable and understandable. 5. With the mysterious storm on the night of the fall of the Berlin Wall as the background, it is also quite charming. The political upheaval is like an unstoppable storm. 6. Although the storm ushered in after 25 years is the same, it is already different, just like Nietzsche's theory of eternal reincarnation. And we woke up in a dream. (9.0/10)
