who I am? Or from whose perspective I am living...

After watching it for the third time, I finally realized...
In fact, this film is just a very simple self-recognition after all...

First of all, we must admit that the film has only one protagonist, Sophie Marceau and Monica... But But it took two ways to complete this self-recognition...

Now let's look at this matter from the eyes of a bystander. This also starts when Sophie and Monica were children. The end of the film clearly explains this. The two children played very well when they were young, and then pushed forward. Because of the car accident, the "real" Sophie was tragic, and Monica survived...

The timeline goes back to the present, in fact, the people we see should always be It looks like Monica, but the film has always been shot in the first-person perspective, which just confirms the theme of self-cognition, so Sophie's image is actually the result of the protagonist's self-awareness. The whole process of the film is the awakening of the protagonist, but the angle is different. In the first half, Sophie is actually facing a strange sense of fear. The contradiction lies in the conflict between the change of the environment and her own cognition. In the second half, Monica's role is a questioning with reasoning, which is an adaptation process after the self-cognition begins to change.

So much for analysis.

In fact, the most fundamental reason for watching this film is that I want to watch Sophie Marceau... So I didn't watch it seriously in the second half... I wo

n't talk about ideas, self-recognition, the more I talk about it, the more I can't understand it. Don't think about it... let it be ~~~
Sophie is still so pretty~~ Tsk tsk

    In contrast, I like Monica, but the acting is average. Moreover, this theme and shooting method are a bit confusing. In fact, it is the persistent mental disorder created by the shadow of childhood.

    You may not really be awake, you may just be on the way from one dream to another.
