Intrigued by the scene in this film, I watched it twice. The second time, I took a closer look at some neglected details, such as the water cups on the left of the fake husband and the heroine, the two identical deer, and the stairs that were exactly the same as the heroine's house after entering the house. In this film, I do not recommend over-interpreting it. After all, the people who made the film are people from the earth, and they are limited by the inherent thinking mode of the earth. Although it can be limited beyond imagination, after all, the audience is still ordinary earth people, right? Therefore, whenever we see a column, we think it is a metaphor for the genitals, and whenever we see a hole, it is a metaphor for the vagina. Totally unnecessary. Anyway, we can't get out of the place where there is a cliff, it must be the Lover's Cliff, but where it is involved in birth, it must be the shape of the uterus. etc. The theme of the whole film is "refraction", a rainbow bubble-like barrier that reflects all substances, including DNA, and the result of the reflection is "mirror image", which is quite a bit of Taoist philosophy of one life two, two creating three, and three creating all things. Some thoughts on this film: 1. The biggest mystery is who is the heroine who came out at the end, whether it is the main body or the clone. I don’t think it is necessary to investigate this issue. Whether it is the main body or the clone, she is no longer the original her. , I tend to be the ontology. First of all, when she looks at her own cells under the microscope, she already shows that she is infected (let's call the behavior of aliens causing mutation called infection, which is the premise of being replicated), in In the long four months, it was enough for her to complete the mutation. In the scenes of the two incendiary bombs, the male protagonist instantly turned into coke. It is impossible for the female protagonist of the earth to carry it for so long, so the one that was burned should be the replica, but the replica does not matter, she and the female protagonist have achieved perfection The fusion copy of the female protagonist carries the infected genes, and the replica duplicates the female protagonist, just like two clay figurines reshaped after being broken, you have me, I have you, if it takes a little longer, it can develop It is not impossible to share the soul. 2. The motive of alien energy, I don’t think it was the premeditated invasion of intelligent aliens. It may be that the celestial body that first landed carried a source of infection (maybe only bacteria, or pure energy), the source of infection Invasion is completely a biological instinct. What life can form in the end depends on the intelligence level of the infected life form, so the plants it infects will grow, and the infected crocodiles and bears will still bite people. The heroine also said "I don't think they want anything" in the final response to the investigation team. Let’s go back to the era of the Big Bang of life, and let’s reverse it. Is it because the same celestial body fell and the same source of infection landed on the earth, resulting in the infectious evolution of various forms of life, resulting in the formation of rich and diverse species. Just like the X area, It's just that there were no human beings, only simple single-cell life, and infection did not directly replicate higher organisms. 3. In many interpretations, the synchronous behavior of the female replicator at the beginning is interpreted as learning, which is based on the fact that it has intellectual consciousness from the beginning, but I don't think so, I think this process is a baby's Instincts, such as babies cry when they are born, this process is like synchronization in a mirror, what you do, the image in the mirror does, isn't the theme very clear, "refraction" and "mirror", everything is a mirror image, After the "breeding" is completed, the clone is still in a state of blank chaos and only has an instinctive defense mechanism (this is why when the heroine hits it, it dodges first and then repeats the action of hitting the heroine), and then discovers its own The ontology, the instinct and the ontology are synchronized, this is a process of awakening. The reason many people think that the last living being is the replicant is also that the replicator is regarded as a high-level life that was conscious from the beginning (actively invading the earth), it is controlling and learning the ontology, otherwise there is no way to explain why it is stupidly standing on the original. He couldn't dodge incendiary bombs, so he decided that the last one who came out alive was the replicator. After he came out, the replicator made up a story (interpretation of why he didn't expose his husband, which will be explained later) to the investigation team. But here is a detail. When the heroine put the incendiary bomb in her palm, it flickered and slowly changed into the appearance of the heroine. Not only did it stop synchronizing with the heroine, but it also reacted by itself. Why is it unresponsive at this time? It's because it's in the transition from "baby" to "adult", from invisible to visible, and between unconscious and conscious. It is absorbing the duplicate information of the female protagonist's body and mind, and it crashes for a short time! I can imagine that after it completes the transformation of its appearance, it breaks away from the infant state of the instinctive period and completely becomes an independent female protagonist with independent thinking and behavior, which is why the male replica who appears in the male protagonist's camera, Not only can he not do the same actions as the male protagonist, but he can also talk to the male protagonist. At that time, the replicator was already a mature and independent "person", and he had replicated the complete human body and thinking mode. In the process of this final "synchronization", the replicator paused, had his own independent reaction, and was inadvertently succeeded by the heroine. In the end, the duplicant crawled back into the hole, which was also an instinctive reaction to being hurt. But it doesn't matter, anyway, the ultimate fusion of life has been completed, and the heroine has become a perfect individual after the infection source is synchronized. I guess, because of the disappearance of the final barrier, the alien energy repaired the male protagonist's body, just like a supply. Before, due to the existence of the barrier, the male replicator could not get it. The supply of the source will cause exclusion. 4. The last scene of the female team leader is a mystery. If you say she is a clone, where did the body go? If she is the noumenon, then how to explain the changes in her eyes when the heroine entered the hole (when she raised her head, it was obvious that she had no eyes at that time, but when she turned her head, her eyes had recovered), maybe she was not affected by Copy, just mutated, and then discovered the heroine. The infectious body in her body prompted her to decompose into the most primitive energy. The scene of her decomposition was very similar to the scene of the Big Bang, and the last mass was also quite Like a nebula after an explosion. I'm leaning towards her being mutated. 5. There are two reasons why the heroine did not expose the male clone. One is based on the heroine's feelings for the hero. She hopes that he is still alive, with the same appearance, the same memory, the same thinking, what is there? The difference. Second, she has experienced fusion, her thinking has changed, she no longer feels that being infected is a thing, and she is not sure if she is still the original self. Still not myself. I think both factors are at play, so the heroine defaults. 6. Is this an alien invasion? Not necessarily, this is a breakthrough in a new round of life genes. Even if all the human beings on earth eventually become people carrying alien genes, what does it matter, even if we are now, there are still human beings of diverse origins. . . . 7. The whole film is open-ended. Through some metaphors and fragments, decrypted information is left, but there is no standard answer. It is up to everyone to guess and interpret, and everyone has their own understanding. Maybe the screenwriter doesn't know the ending, he's making up the story by his own instinct. The lighthouse in the fog guides the way, but you don't know what the end is. . Of course, the director doesn't know either, he only knows that your audience loves this tune, hum! 8. As for why the female team leader is so persistent in going to the lighthouse, some people interpret that she is the inner responder of aliens, and deceive people to go there to provide a copy of the body. This is quite ridiculous. Human nature is diverse, how can there be so many? Why, female The team leader was short on cancer, so she was not afraid of death, and going to the lighthouse was just the curiosity of a mad scientist. To achieve the final burning in her limited life. . Who doesn't want to crack the truth? 9. There are still many loopholes and flaws in the film. There is no way. After all, this is just a movie. . . . A few more points: 1. There is no doubt that extraterrestrial life has no purpose, everything is instinct, so it merges aimlessly in the X area. Even if it replicates humans, the replicated humans are completely human minds, human bodies, and human memories. The clone just inherits the contents of the original, including the memory of the fragment. The male protagonist said to the camera, I feel my mind is flowing. This is how his emotions and memories are copied and transferred. So the last move of the male clone is to go back to the female lead. 2. The dazed state of the female replicator holding an incendiary bomb can be understood as the confusion that has just completed the replication and digestion. It can also be considered that after replicating the heroine's emotions, it also accepts the heroine's strong desire to destroy it. , so it fulfilled this wish in a moment of confusion, not only let the incendiary bomb set itself on fire, but also crawled back to the "womb" to destroy the source. It hesitated to touch Kane's body, which was also the result of copying the heroine's emotions. . 3. The heroine said to the investigator, I don't think they want anything. Yes, this is the unconscious state of existence of extraterrestrial beings, which are changing by instinct and have no purpose. 4. The female protagonist asked the male replicant, you are not Kane, the male replied "i don't think so", the Chinese subtitles were translated as "I am not", I have doubts about the meaning of this translation, maybe there is an English boss coming Explain the meaning of this sentence in depth. I feel that it should express a meaning of "not sure, not necessarily", and the male clone does not think that he is not Kane, and this sentence caused the female protagonist to embrace the clone.
