This is not just a suspenseful film that plays with structure, or the director wants to say a lot more.
-------------------
I have to admire the screenwriter's strong logical thinking and the director's ability to express on camera. When there are three groups of the same people on board at the end, they still Grasp the context very clearly, I have to say, this is really difficult, how to set the groundwork at the beginning, and how to express these interlaces later, if you can't choose the right time, it will not only make the audience incomprehensible, but also appear tedious and tedious. When expressing, the reasons for the occurrence of each event are also revealed in turn, so that the film will not make people feel that the information is repeated in the 'reincarnation (this word is a bit weird...)' again and again, but there are some changes— - These changes also give people a hope of breaking the routine and discovering new worlds - but the fact is that the ending can never be changed, and the director made good use of repeated explanations to make the audience unintentionally struggle with fate.
'I don't have much time...'
The heroine kept saying this, but in fact, he is the eternal person in this world, never to die. This kind of immortality seems painful and meaningless, but it is not as good as those who die, she has too much time, but there is no chance to escape this maze.
It's like the guide sign that appeared at the beginning, goodbye, Please Return.
'return' - come back? Again? ——This film has been talking about, what did the director want to say? Is it fate or irreversible?
At the beginning of the film, the director's editing made us think that Jess is a good mother who is full of bitterness in her heart but still loves her son deeply. He's trying to get home for the whole movie, just because: I have a son.
But when Jess finally escaped back to the family where she lived, she saw that she had treated her son rudely, and she regretted it. She killed the original her, but she also took her child to death. . Some things, we look back, everything is different, we want to change, but it will always end the same.
I seem to have veered off into another circle...but writing here I am reminded of where Surrey died: countless numbers of themselves lying on the deck, covered in blood.
This scene shudders, as if we did something wrong, and then God punished us, let us go through hardships, and finally, seeing the truth is unchangeable.
It's punishment. It turns out that the things that live in your self-righteous beliefs are actually the things you will hurt. Even if you can go back to the past, you cannot change the hurt.
Here I want to talk about another thing, this taxi driver.
Yesterday, I watched Soulbreak in Venice, and then I saw the evaluation of the original novel of this film on the Internet.
About death.
Because it has little to do with this movie, I won't go into details, but this driver really reminds me of Death. What this character does is actually watch him go to the dead end again and again and tell him: 'You'll be back, right? '
Actually, the woman is dead. In reality he is dead.
Let's think about it carefully, how many Jess are there?
In fact, all the people on the ship are one person - if you must say that there are several I can tell you: it is just the intersection of different time periods and different spaces - this huge ship we can It is understood as a space conversion station, where all the time points meet. So, Jess on this ship has always been the same person.
However, there is one more. It's the one who appeared at the beginning, wearing a skirt, cursing at her son, a bad mother.
It's like at the end of the movie, Jess, who came back from the cruise ship, said to Tommy, the original one is dead, and now this one is really good for you.
So, in fact, there are two—it has nothing to do with time, and the interlacing of these ghosts has nothing to do with it. In fact, there are two.
When I thought about this at the time, I thought it was a loophole, there couldn't be two. How can there be two people?
Let's go back and forth and think back to the few shots from the car accident. Do you have this feeling - it's very much like an out-of-body soul after death? Your own soul stood there watching its dead self. At this time, the vest Jess seemed to have forgotten everything, but the people at the scene were packing Jess who passed the flower skirt and the dead son.
Then the driver's appearance was very strange, inexplicable, or did he imply death?
I want to declare, what I want to say is not whether this Jess is a ghost, I want to say, what is the director going to say?
Don't do things that make you irreversible, cherish or love, in the right way.
--------------------------------
Everyone has different feelings watching different movies, I'm just expressing mine.
Finally, there is one thing I don't understand, about the pair of keys.
When Jess picked it up on the boat, he actually dropped it, but if he didn't bring it on, why was he on the boat?
It seems that this key should not appear on the ship for no reason...
is it a loophole? ...
