    Character Evaluation

    In the movie "Coherence", James Ward Byrkit successfully used the "closed space" narrative mode, allowing the characters to be imprisoned and shuttled through a number of relatively isolated parallel worlds, highlighting the deep contradictions and weaknesses of human nature through the extreme spatial environment, thereby Complete in-depth thinking about human nature. At the same time, this low-cost "brain-burning" science fiction film also relies on breakthroughs and innovations in story narrative, structural architecture and scientific concept interpretation, experimenting with an alternative success route for science fiction films. The film is more like an experiment to visualize scientific hypotheses. The eight characters have become mice under the lens of the director, deducing countless possible trajectories of fate. The director cleverly puts the obscure and esoteric scientific concepts through a house, eight characters, and several parallel worlds. The story narrative with clear lines and simple structure will not cause the audience to accept obstacles .
