Don't Ignore Small Details in "Coherence"

Elmo 2022-08-03 19:15:05

There are many small details in the movie that are easy to overlook, such as broken cups, broken mobile phones, half-bottles of potions, etc. The details are well set. After several rounds of action in parallel time and space, the protagonists finally realized the existence of "themselves" in several parallel times and spaces. When everyone except the heroine is no longer the original self, crazy thoughts also emerge in the heroine's mind to replace "self." The story becomes more thrilling and even terrifying when the heroine leaves the room on her own initiative. The reversal of the ending was unexpected to me. The back was cold, and the details of the ring on the hand were well set. But I didn't understand in some places. After the heroine killed herself, the body disappeared, or she didn't kill her.

  • [last lines]

    Kevin: [his phone ringing] That's weird. It's you calling me. Hello?

  • Laurie: Em, you seem to be the comet expert here. What happened the last time?

    Em: This one passed over a hundred years ago, but much farther.

    Laurie: But do we know about anything that happened?

    Em: Nothing happened then, it was too far away.

    Laurie: So, is there any reason we should be freaked out right now?

    Em: Well, I mean, it is a lot closer this time.

    Laurie: What does that mean?

    Em: Okay. I read one more thing...

    Lee: Oh, another story!

    Em: Just one more. It's called the Tunguska Event, and, um, it was a comet or a meteor or something like that, that entered the atmosphere over Siberia and exploded over Earth. So it didn't actually have physical impact. It didn't touch Earth, it didn't leave a crater or anything, but the force of that explosion flattened trees for hundreds of miles. But it only killed about one to two people.

    Laurie: It's Siberia. There were probably only two people there.

    Em: Yeah, but they don't necessarily...

    Mike: [jokingly] It wiped out the population of Siberia.

    Laurie: Basically, yeah.

    Em: Right.

    Laurie: Well, that doesn't make me feel better.

    Kevin: And when was this?

    Em: It was like, in 1908, 1903...
