Another crossover montage. All the story contradictions finally focus on the time period of 11:14. It's not as ambitious as "Crash", but there are also many details worth savoring.
1. Although it is a cross montage, there is still a sequence when narrating the story, and it is flashback as a whole, from 11:13 to 10:54. Moving forward by constantly asking questions and answers, the narrative from the latter perspective complements the previous paragraph and raises new questions, making the plot gradually become clear and clear in the weakened blur. The director's setting of the story in this way also maximizes the guarantee that the suspense of the whole story will be advanced layer by layer.
2. The design at the beginning of the movie is very innovative, and it is very suitable for the whole movie. The cast and crew appear in the form of cars driving on the road, and the connecting part of the film is also where the cars of each little story meet.
3. When the new protagonist comes out, most of them are in a car, accompanied by the music on the car. The only exception seems to be the girl's dad - the oldest, who, in his first appearance, gave footage of "Animal World" on TV, where a crocodile is devouring a zebra. I haven't studied every piece of car music, but I feel that these music are all in line with the character and behavior of the protagonist.
4. The key is also a key item that drives the story.
5. The first man and the girl's father were hit hard by the car cover when they were stuffing bodies in the trunk.
6. The most ironic and critical plot, a girl and a boy were killed by an angel's head in the cemetery. The gods are inviolable.
7. Of the three boys who drove the biggest car, Tim started out as a soy sauce. But Tim later helped another boy go back to find JJ who was knocked out. It looked ridiculous, naive, and even more loyal.
8. Ingenious reminders of the time, through watches, clocks, church bells, TV, etc.
9. On the theme, each character in the film has various flaws and crimes, and no one is innocent; however, if you think about it carefully, everyone also paid a different price at the same time, relatives and friends, body and even life, The victim is also the harmer, and the rescuer is also the perpetrator. This kind of confusion and synthesis in identity is essentially another height of the discussion of human nature. The film starts from the communication and relationship between people, as well as the handling and details of dealing with emergencies, including the significant impact of current decisions on the future (ie the butterfly effect), as well as the causal cyclical response with a strong oriental religious color, rich in tragedy. The black humor of the book is all deeply portrayed (this is an excerpt)
