Screenwriter Analysis of Nine Degrees of Space

After watching "Nine Degrees of Space", I have a very subtle feeling. Although this feeling is abstract, it is indeed very real. The film consists of three stories, "Prisoner", "Reality TV" and "Knowing". From a single story, it is a bit confusing, but linking the three stories together reveals the connection, three people play nine Role. And all three stories are created by one. In the third story, the protagonist is the programmer of the game, just like the creator of the whole world. He is immersed in the game he made up and cannot extricate himself. The numbers in the game represent the coding of the program, 9 is lower than 10 is higher than Other numbers, 10 represents perfection, 9 is big, but he is still not perfect, he realizes that he does not belong to the world of the game, so he is crazy, he is restless, he is restless, but in the game, even if you are the game The creator of the game, you must also abide by the rules of the game, which are exactly the rules of the game set by the "God" that the director refers to, or it may not be "God", scientifically speaking, it is also possible that our entire planet is a little bit of human beings in the hands of aliens An advanced game of IQ, "they" give each of us a little bit of character, watching each of us start from character, gather together, influence, grow, and change. . . From their point of view, we are a group of stupid "playthings" who will only pursue all the unfulfilled "goals" set by "them" - eternity. There are many kinds of eternity, such as love, such as the supreme state in Buddhism, which can be regarded as the goal that human beings pursue, but it will never be achieved, and because it cannot be achieved, it is extremely longing, so no one will doubt or speculate. the existence of these "targets".
Sometimes, when we are walking on the street, we see someone. Although we have never met, there is a kind of kindness, as if we had met a long time ago. Buddhists have a saying: Five hundred years in the past life are exchanged for the wipes of this life. over the shoulder. Rationally, this is the intersection in time, and in the film, it is the intersection in space, the structure of topological rings. My understanding is like this, Gabriel created the world, Gabriel played the screenwriter Gvain himself, played the role of Gray himself, Gvain wrote the book, and the book written by Gray tells Gabriel's story, and the story can start from Gabriel. It may be a little messy, but I have to understand that the intersection in space produces a circular effect, like a paradox. The reality does not hold, but the theory holds because there are breaking points.
The
picture is overexposed 1 minute and 35 seconds before the beginning of the film , everything is so pure, one hand is tying green yarn to the other hand, we may not understand it when we see this, but the end of the film will tell us this The role of the green wool is to keep him from forgetting who he really is, just like the top in "inception".
1 minute 44 seconds to 38 minutes 20 seconds begins the prisoner part
The story of the prisoner part is the same as the normal narrative structure, divided into, beginning, development, progression, climax. At the beginning of the film, Gray started to burn his ex-girlfriend's clothes, buy cocaine, and drive while drinking. All of this shows that he is so restless, why is he restless? He felt that everything around him was unreal, everything was fake, so he had hallucinations, and he appeared as a screenwriter and a game designer. At this time, he has begun to play 3 roles, because it itself He's an actor, but at this point he doesn't realize he's in his own design, until Sarah comes along and she reminds him that it's a 9. When he wakes up, the world he is in will be destroyed. As the film says, with a little thought, the world can be destroyed. The fat woman in the film knows the truth, but she always hides it and doesn't want Gray to know the truth.
From 38 minutes and 20 seconds to about 54 minutes, the reality show began to
echo with the prisoner part. We found that Gvain's house was the house where Gray lived, Gvain's piano music, the notes left in the kitchen, and the sign language among the prisoners. The girls all appeared, and sarah, who appeared in the prisoner at this time, became the producer again, reminding Gvain all the time that he was a 9, and when they were reviewing the TV series, someone suddenly said to him , if you do this again, the world will be destroyed, and he is reminding him that this world is not your world. In a reality show, there is always a camera following him, and when his show was shot, he walked out angrily, and at this time he found that 7 was written on the top of his head and his own was written on top of his head. 9. The fat woman in the film became an actress and was a good friend with Gvain, Gabriel always wanted to write a play for her friend and make her the real protagonist, but it backfired, and this matter prompted Gabriel to know the truth.
At around 54 minutes,
it was known that it was the second TV series to be filmed. At this time, Gabriel was set as a game maker, and life itself was a game, but Gabriel was immersed in the game, just like the woman said. I have a husband, but he likes to play games and immerse himself in it, and Gabriel is this woman's husband, this woman is the one who appeared before, and she is also a 9. There is a camera in the film, and the content recorded by the camera is the content of the reality show, and the little girl herself knows that Gabriel is not his own father. When Gabriel woke up, he knew all of this, and the three parts at this time could be connected organically. We found that life is a game, but the person who designed the game was silent in the game he designed. It can be said that Write and direct your own Sims.
At the end of the film, Gabriel untied the button he was wearing. In an old Chinese saying, the person who untied the bell must also tie the bell. When Gabriel untied the bell, the world changed. He returned to his own space. The world of his own design has returned to peace.
The names of the male protagonists in the film, Gray, Gvain and Gabriel, all start with the letter G, and God's initial letter is G, and he is a 9, 10 means perfect, the Bible says that people in the world are not perfect. , only God Jehovah is perfect, and 9 we can call him the second God, under this level, in the discussion of human nature in the world, the film said, although time is full of injustice, but I still love him very much, for us In the world of life, especially now, the network society, the explosion of information, everything can basically intersect, just like in the film, the intersection of space, but there are still many things in society that are worth our nostalgia. We have seen love, friendship and family affection in the game. These are all things we need to cherish and maintain. Although we are not the designers of the game, we have the right to be ourselves and play our own plays!
Generally speaking, this film is still full of thinking about human nature, thinking about life, the ninth space, in fact, there are many places in the film that are not clear, I think it is mainly the difference between Eastern and Western cultures, but this is still A movie worth watching a lot!
