A comedy horror that doesn't work for me but is very scientific

How should I put it, I feel that the sequel is not as pure as Happy Death Day 1. It can be said that 1 is a warm horror film, but 2 combines warmth, sci-fi, thriller and many chicken soups of life. For audiences like me who are purely pursuing horror and excitement, 2 may not be a good choice. You have to think, feel and understand. But from an objective point of view, 2 really enriches the plot, gives a reasonable explanation to the time cycle, and the truth is more profound: if 1 tells us to cherish the people around us, 2 tells us that new day is a chance to become batter one. From the second middle school, I saw responsibility, choice, open-mindedness and optimism. Many people may not understand why the heroine would give up choosing a mother and a friend, although she knows that the hero will eventually break up with Danielle and fall in love with her in this time and space, but this does not belong to her, but belongs to The original "she" of this time and space, as said in the movie, is a borrow time. She chose to go back, go back to the past, go back to the latitude that belongs to her, and start her own life.

    Forced sequel, kind of boring. There is no thriller style at all, the timeline and logic are chaotic, and the soft science fiction + warmth drama is very boring.

    The sequel is still engaging, and the choice between mother and lover is simply heart-wrenching. I'd like to see if the director can make 3.

Happy Death Day 2U quotes

  • Ryan Phan: Great. I have to manually re-enter all this code.

    Tree Gelbman: Okay, how long?

    Ryan Phan: Six, seven hours.

    Tree Gelbman: Ryan, look at me. I am on borrowed time here. Understand? Get it done.

    Ryan Phan: Uh, yeah, I'm on it.

    [Tree leaves. Carter runs after her]

    Carter Davis: Tree, wait up.

    [Tree continues walking away]

    Carter Davis: Hey. Are you sure about this?

    Tree Gelbman: Of course I'm sure.

    Carter Davis: Okay, well, what about the killer?

    [Tree stops]

    Carter Davis: I mean, you said people are gonna die tonight. If you close the loop and we don't help, then they're dead for good, aren't they?

    Tree Gelbman: [firmly] I have to stay alive. I can't go back to that hospital. It's way too risky.

    [Tree starts walking away]

    Carter Davis: Okay, so that's it? You're just gonna walk away and let a bunch of innocent people die?

    [Tree stops and returns to face Carter]

    Tree Gelbman: People die every day, Carter. I can't be responsible for everyone, okay? I know how selfish that sounds, but it's true.

    Carter Davis: [disdainfully] Yeah, no, that sounds incredibly selfish. Are you serious?

    Tree Gelbman: [shakes her head tearfully] That's not fair. You have no idea how hard this is for me. I don't want to have to choose between you and my mom, but I have to.

    Carter Davis: What do you mean, "choose"?

    [Tree hesisates for a moment]

    Tree Gelbman: Carter, we're together in the other dimension.

    [Carter gapes]

    Tree Gelbman: I woke up in your bed every morning, just like this morning. I did it over and over and over again until I fell in love with you. But that version of us is back there, and my mom is alive here. So I've made my decision.

    Carter Davis: Wh... what if you're wrong? Huh? What if you're wrong? What if this isn't the life that you're-you're supposed to have?

    Tree Gelbman: So, what? I'm just supposed to go back to some dimension where my mom's dead?

    [Tree shakes her head, choked by tears]

    Tree Gelbman: I can't. I can't lose her again.

    Carter Davis: [quietly] You already did. And none of this is real if it erases that. You're just... you're living someone else's life that doesn't belong to you. Y-Your pain, th-that loss, that's... that's what makes you you. But you have the chance to do something other people only dream of.

    Tree Gelbman: What?

    Carter Davis: You can say goodbye.

    [before Tree can answer, they hear Danielle calling Carter "Yoo-hoo!". She approaches]

    Tree Gelbman: Your girlfriend's calling you. Better go.

    [Tree walks away]

    Danielle Bouseman: What's her problem? She just ditched our house meeting.

    [Carter does not answer. His eyes are fixed on Tree, as she getting further from them. Danielle notices that and snaps her fingers before his face]

    Danielle Bouseman: Hello? What were you guys talking about?

    Carter Davis: [lies] Nothing. We were just... we were going over school stuff.
