Family Choices in "Cycle Death" Mode

Madelyn 2022-03-22 09:02:16

Just finished watching Happy Death Day 1, and accidentally found that there are 2 more in this movie, and there is already a trend towards series of movies. The second part generally follows the plot of the first part, and continues to upgrade the brain hole on the basis of the first part.

On the whole, the one thing that surprised me about Happy Death Day 2 is that the original cast was filmed, and none of the actors were changed, but they were still the same people from the first film. From the creative point of view of the script, it seems to be an upgrade of the first one - from the cycle death of a single world line to the cycle death of another branch balanced world line. The film begins with the male protagonist's roommate Ryan falling into a cycle of death, and discovers that the murderer who killed himself turned out to be "another self", thus further revealing the secret behind the cycle of death encountered by the first female protagonist (Tree). It all started when Ryan's team made a quantum experiment reactor in the school, which indirectly caused the time reset. The plot was further escalated here. When Ryan found out that "the other self" panicked, and there was a dispute, and the dean of the college wanted to ban their experimental equipment, the quantum reactor was activated again under the promotion of various forces, and the heroine Once again mistakenly sent to the circular death track, only this time it is another balanced world line. In this world line, Lori is no longer the murderer of the heroine, and the extramarital doctor has become the murderer of Lori (in this world line, the doctor and Lori were entangled), the mother of the heroine is also resurrected, and the hero (Carter)'s love object has also changed, and he falls in love with the heroine's little sister...

Speaking of this, I have to sympathize with the heroine Tree again. I have just experienced dozens of circular death tortures in my world line, and before I stopped for a while, I entered a balanced world line, and continued to carry out the circular death journey in the new world line, and the heroine arrived in the new world. I was impressed by the scream after that?. However, compared to the main line of the first part, which mainly focuses on the heroine's continuous investigation of the real murderer who killed herself in the cycle of death, the main line of the second part mainly focuses on the difficult choice of the heroine's family in balancing the world line. On the one hand, the heroine wants to end her circular death mode in the new world line through Ryan's team and live with her mother forever in this world line, but she herself has no memory in this world, her memory is missing, and she can't communicate with herself The beloved Boy is together; on the other hand, the heroine wants to go back to the past to be with her beloved Boy. In the end, the heroine also listened to her mother's advice and realized what she wanted in her heart. The second suicide remembered the variables and algorithms of the quantum reactor and returned to his own "world" with the help of Ryan's team.

The most touching scene in the whole movie is the time when the heroine is with her mother. I would like to praise Jessica Rhodes' acting skills here. From Tree's initial bitch character to re-acquainting herself and opening her heart with her mother, To express her feelings, this series of transformations was well-done by Jessica.

The most interesting part of the whole film, of course, is Tree's ever-changing ways to die, which in turn experienced electrocution, drinking pesticides, parachuting in a bikini, and so on. The deepest impression is of course that Tree was skydiving in a bikini. In addition to his hot body, he actually landed on the male protagonist and his plastic sisters affectionately, and laughed at that time......

Happy Death Day 2 continues the style and tone of the first film, and the elements of the film are more abundant. The whole film combines family, love, joy, horror and other elements.

    The strongest crazy white bitch in the universe (crying. Even more tears than the first part...

    The male actor is a cute female protagonist, and the friendship is still warm. Please give me a dozen of these "horror movies" that take the joyous route in the future! In the first episode, the story has been told through the situation, but it is not easy to die from the beginning again (again again) in a unique way~~~
