Awesome idea, rough plot

When another earth approaches, it is speculated that there is likely to be a replica of your own planet, so there must be another self there? The premise of the film is very thoughtful and fascinating. It seems that the partition between the parallel spaces is broken, and suddenly they can touch and hug each other. What a curious thing. This premise is very second. Of course, the movie is not actually about the contact between the two planets, but the road to self-redemption caused by the accident. This is a rather surprising plot setting.
But the development of the plot that I don't like is: self-salvation to sleep with the other party, it really feels like eating flies. I think this is the reaction of the male lead. This kind of rotten street routine is really speechless. The female lead said that I Thinking that I made you happy, this really makes a sleazy person like me want to get into trouble and feel like my throat is getting angry. The scene where the heroine vomits in the train toilet after sleeping with each other is a perfect example of how all viewers feel. In this case, why is such a redemption designed? Is this redemption? Is it sincere redemption? This is disgusting, the other party is also disgusting yourself.
In the latter part of the film, the female protagonist asks the male protagonist to go to another earth instead of herself. The theoretical support is that when the two planets face each other, the chain of replication between them will be completely disconnected and lead to different destinies. Then before the car accident happened, another earth had already appeared in the field of vision of this earth, so the car accident probably did not happen. And at the end of the film, the heroine saw herself in another world at the door of her house. The heroine was well-dressed. It seems that there was no car accident there, and the heroine went to college smoothly. So what happened after the male protagonist went up? Did he feel comforted and happy when he saw a happy family, or was he more resentful because he was an outsider? This setting is a test of the male protagonist's humanity, and the female protagonist's road to redemption has not stopped.
In general, this film has a great idea, but the content is very rough, with a luxurious background, but it tells an ordinary plot. Compared with light sci-fi films of the same type, such as "The Man From Earth" and "The Night When the Comet Came", the plot is narrated under the framework of sci-fi, and the gap between this film is big.
The heroine is so beautiful, and she attracted me to watch it entirely by her attractiveness. The footage of the film is very intriguing. Some people like roughness, while others like delicateness. I belong to the latter. In fact, there is no need to pursue alternative lens language and make the film full of inferior quality. The most important thing is to tell the story well.

    A very awkward movie, the last second of the movie, the kind of despair is like the world after EVA is completed. The tone of the whole movie is quirky and slow, and there is a suffocating sense of depression, which is worth watching.

  • Rhoda Williams: You know that story of the Russian cosmonaut? So, the cosmonaut, He's the first man ever to go into space. Right? The Russians beat the Americans. So he goes up in this big spaceship, but the only habitable part of it's very small. So the cosmonaut's in there, and he's got this portal window, and he's looking out of it, and he sees the curvature of the Earth for the first time. I mean, the first man to ever look at the planet he's from. And he's lost in that moment. And all of a sudden this strange ticking... Begins coming out of the dashboard. Rips out the control panel, right? Takes out his tools. Trying to find the sound, trying to stop the sound. But he can't find it. He can't stop it. It keeps going. Few hours into this, begins to feel like torture. A few days go by with this sound, and he knows that this small sound... will break him. He'll lose his mind. What's he gonna do? He's up in space, alone, in a space closet. He's got 25 days left to go... with this sound. So the cosmonaut decides... the only way to save his sanity... is to fall in love with this sound. So he closes his eyes... and he goes into his imagination, and then he opens them. He doesn't hear ticking anymore. He hears music. And he spends the sailing through space in total bliss... and peace.
