I haven't read the original book, and I don't know what to say, but according to the examples I've watched so many movie adaptations, it is actually impossible for a movie with a maximum of more than 2 hours to completely follow the original book. In order to tell another story on the basis of the original story, it becomes another work. In the limited space of more than 2 hours, the story reflects the ideas that are no longer the original author, but more of the ideas and ideas that the film director wants to express to our audience, because this is an adaptation led by the film director. film work. I think novels and films should tell two different stories, expressing two different ideas of the original author and the film director, so I don't think there is any need to compare the two. As for watching movies, I don’t really take things that are too detailed, because no matter how perfect a work is, there are all kinds of flaws, not to mention such a small production movie, otherwise it’s just like picking bones, it’s boring.
I just watched it once in the movie theater. I don’t remember many places clearly, and I don’t understand it. It’s more likely that I left out a lot of details, so I’m just talking about my thoughts, so that everyone can discuss and discuss together. , so my following thoughts are also very messy, so please understand.
I think the movie is actually talking about human nature, neither sci-fi nor alien invasion, those are not replicators, sci-fi and monsters just wear wolf skins that reflect human nature, so that everyone can be nervous and exciting when watching movies Click here, keep the interest in watching it, otherwise it will be difficult to understand, and you have to talk about human nature from beginning to end, then really not many people watch this movie. Speaking of the movie, in the middle of the movie, everyone mentioned by the doctor on the boat has tried to destroy themselves, like smoking, drinking, quitting a stable job to destroy their normal life, and every member of the team has various psychological problems , I think this is the first key point. Each member in the film has a different way of dying, and it corresponds to each person's own psychological problems as mentioned by the doctor on the boat. The flash is just like a prism to darken their hearts, and they want to destroy their inner thoughts, magnify, reflect and realize them. so they will all die. Like the first team member who caught and eaten the monster bear, I forgot what problems she had before joining the team, but then the monster bear made her voice and kept calling for help, which actually showed that she was only a She pretended to be strong, but her heart was extremely fragile and kept wanting to ask for help, but Shining amplified her inner thoughts, reflected them, and realized them in the bear monster. As for the black man with glasses, she said, "The doctor chooses to witness, and you choose to resist, and I am different from you." In the end, the story did not say what happened to her, but just disappeared, perhaps turning into a humanoid plant, although I don't quite understand what she chose, but it must have been the prismatic effect of the flash that magnified her thoughts, reflected them, and materialized them and disappeared according to her own will.
The most obvious is the hero and heroine. The heroine's derailment seems to have nothing to do with the team's exploration in the flash. Why is the derailment interspersed with the entire team's exploration process? This is the second key point. Finally, I saw that in the video of the lighthouse, after the actor committed suicide, another him appeared, and I probably understood it. In the movie, it was said that the male protagonist actually knew that the female protagonist had cheated in the later stage of the female protagonist’s derailment. In addition, the female protagonist on the boat asked the doctor why the male protagonist would take this suicide mission. The doctor said that the male protagonist was not committing suicide, but wanted to Destroying myself, then I thought that the hero is because after knowing the heroine cheated, he felt that his life had lost any meaning, and he was no longer who he was before the heroine cheated. Before, he trusted the heroine infinitely and regarded the heroine as himself. The meaning of survival, he died after he knew the heroine cheated, and now he has no meaning to survive. The new self acts as if nothing has ever happened, and continues to love and live with the heroine as before, so Shining amplifies his inner thoughts and reflects them. The original he committed suicide, and the new one returned to the heroine. Now, that's why all the people who entered the flash didn't come back, only he came back first, because he wanted to be reborn back to the heroine's side. Those extraterrestrial substances don't want to invade the earth, nor do they want to harm people. As said in the movie, it just reflects everything in the flash like a prism, and it can also reflect all the creatures that come in the flash into the heart. The enlargement of the ideas here reflects the concrete realization. Like the two sika deer, because they don't have the complicated thoughts of human hearts, the flash just makes them more beautiful, while crocodiles and bears follow their wishes, becoming stronger and easier to prey on prey to get food and become monsters .
In the same way, after the heroine enters the lighthouse, the flash magnifies her inner thoughts, reflects the concrete realization, and turns her into another self. It is not a simple alien clone, but she knows in her heart that the hero knows that she is cheating with her colleague. She was also full of guilt and remorse, and hated herself and hated herself. She also had thoughts in her heart that wanted to change back to the self before the derailment, hoping that nothing had happened and returning to her previous life, which is why at the beginning of the movie, the heroine She clearly loves the male protagonist so much and is still waiting for him one year after he disappeared, but she painted the walls of the room full of memories with the male protagonist to new white, because the female protagonist also wants to erase her during that cheating period. . She volunteered to join the team, not only to save the male protagonist to atone for her sins, but more importantly, the female protagonist also had the idea of killing and erasing her past in her heart, so she made such a seemingly fatal act of suicide to destroy herself. So it also explains why other people who entered the flash were not copied, only the male and female protagonists were copied, because in their hearts they all wanted to kill their past selves, and the flash magnified their innermost thoughts to reflect the specific After realization, give them a chance to kill themselves.
In that series of slow-motion shots of the heroine and the copied self, the audience was very depressed and worried. In fact, this is also the feeling in the heroine's heart, the inner cry, hatred for the past self, and all kinds of negative energy. The expression of her, she was escaping from her past self and wanted to rush out, but her past self was inseparable from her, followed her closely, and suppressed her. In the end, she plucked up the courage to kill the one who represented her past self. Replicant, realized her inner thoughts and completed her own redemption, and because she had seen all this in the flash, she also thought that she might have to destroy it all to have the chance to save the male protagonist, so she reflected her inner thoughts in the flash. Under the action of the prism, the replica who represented her past self ignited everything that destroyed the lighthouse with her own hands after it caught fire according to her wishes. And it is precisely because both the male and female protagonists have the idea of erasing and killing their past selves and returning to each other with a brand new selves, so Shining will let them go back according to their wishes, making them the only two to enter. The one who can come back after the flash.
But the climax of the whole drama is when the hero and heroine reunite at the end. When the heroine asks the hero, "Are you the hero?" People feel that these are not important at this time, the most important thing is that two people can continue to love each other in the future, so they hug each other fiercely. However, at this time, the camera showed a twinkle in the eyes of the two people who embraced each other. I think this is the most exciting part of the whole drama, because both the male and female protagonists enter the flash with the idea of erasing and killing the past self, hoping to go back to the past with a new self. life. Flash also realized their idea by chance, and let them kill their past selves, but at this time, they questioned whether this new self is still the real self, and whether this new self is just a copy of Flash of extraterrestrial matter? And can these two new selves still be able to live a happy life of mutual love that they knew before? And in the future, is the happy life that the two of them lived after they changed through hard work really the happy life they used to be? Or this kind of happy life is just a flash to magnify their inner thoughts, reflect them and realize them, and after the heroine cheated, no matter what efforts they did, everything was an illusion, just their own wishful thinking, There is no way to go back to the past, and the two of them can no longer live the happy life they used to love each other? After the director casts aside this reflection on human nature, the whole play ends.
And the most interesting thing is that the reflection of human nature left by the director is not just a pretentious reflection that is high above, out of reach, and divorced from life, but is closely related to our lives. I believe that everyone, no matter the big or the small, will encounter special regrets and regrets and situations, and they always think after the fact, if what happened to me at that time, then what happened now. But if there is really a chance for us to do it all over again, although we no longer make the action that we regret, and choose the choice that we regret, can we really pretend that nothing happened? After we choose the so-called right choice, is it really a new self and a new life? Or are we just deceiving ourselves, what happened is what happened, no matter how many times we repeat it, the choices we made and the things that happened have been deeply imprinted in our lives and deeply affect our future selves. The self that came was not the new self, or the old self? Are our regrets and regrets really useful and necessary? It's interesting to think about ideas like these, and I'm sure everyone has their own answer.
This is what I feel and think about watching this movie. In fact, there are many things in it that I haven't understood yet, and there are many omissions. My vision and level are really limited, so other friends are welcome to discuss and discuss with me. Oh.
thanks.
