The meaning of the whole movie is that we are just watching a DV tape... The disaster in front of me is occasionally intertwined with the happy day of the hero and heroine a month ago, and the director has more ideas.
The big party in the first half is very interesting and worth learning from.
The director put two more endings on the dvd:
Alternate ending 1: After the last big bang, not the scene where they said it was a happy day a few months ago, it was the girl pulling the boy running down a downhill... Then the dv tape headed, finished. The director said that this weakens the experience and power of love.
Alternate Ending 2: After the last big bang, before they said it was a happy day a few months ago, a very fast, very short shot was added: a hand grunted the dirt on the shot. The director said that this means that the dv was picked up by someone, and the hope of the hero and heroine being rescued was thrown back to the audience.
