In the mirror, we see our own face, radiant and undifferentiated.
Inside the mirror hides a cold and gloomy world.

Some people say that this is a film about the self and the id. This, in my opinion, is a bit reluctant and too heavy. The question of whether nature is inherently good or inherently evil is beyond the scope of this film's discussion.

If you want to say that it reflects the two sides of human beings, then the good and the evil should alternate with each other, but from the beginning to the end of the film, the evil completely, absolutely, without any doubt, easily destroys the relatively good for no reason. Pretty absurd and I can't accept it.

So, this is just a thriller, and there is no more profound meaning in it.



The heart grows on the right side of the body, which is destined to be extremely strange.

How do you feel when you meet someone whose heart is beating on the same side as yours.
It felt like a head-on collision with a huge impact.

The person whose heart is on the right is the person who is retrograde in the world. A person in the mirror who shouldn't exist in the world originally.

The repeated slow motion of the car accident scene, the slow motion of the airbag suddenly inflating and bulging, how did you feel at that time?

The scenes of several murders are still a bit terrifying, and the scene of the body turning white makes people physically uncomfortable.

The picture processing and editing of the film is still very tight, and it has always been a dull and vigilant tone.
The group of psychiatrists in the hospital are like ghosts.

It's just that when the heroine shows the photo to his father, if it is the real father, the sentence "maybe the person in the photo is not me" should not be said. Judging from his expression, he doesn't look like a cruel and indifferent pirate.

Is this a bug.

    Kate Coleman: [Quietly to Gina] I guess that's seven years back luck then.

    Gina McVey: [mischievously whispering] I thought it was seven years bad sex.

    Kate Coleman: No, I've already had that.

    Daniel McVey: Oi, I heard that.

    Kate Coleman: [smiling up at her husband] Baby, that was before I met you.

    [John, Gina and Kate's father, is apparently oblivious to the entire by-play that's occurred and preoccupied by the broken mirror]
