As I write this title, I have watched the movie twice. As early as a week ago, when I just watched the first time, I vaguely felt that something was waking up in my body. It was an idle weekend afternoon, the summer heat was soaked by the continuous rain, and heavy clouds were still floating on the sea. I was planning to go out, but I had to stay in my dorm because of the shower. This seaside city is always rainy in summer, and the humid climate is quite comfortable, so the rain didn't bother me. Watching a movie, then taking a nap, an afternoon just passed, ordinary and uninteresting.
Later, when the plot of the movie came back and forth in my head, I realized what was waking up in my body. After being silent for more than half a year, at a moment when the madness and helplessness of aphasia had slowly engulfed me, this film rekindled my desire for writing.
Not that it gave me courage and motivation, but the themes of the film are actually quite negative. Many people wondered after watching the movie: "What exactly does it say?" This literary and artistic romance film wrapped in science fiction has no justice and evil, no opposition and reconciliation. All stories are already predestined due to different choices.
This is where it strikes me, and it is the secret that I, and even we, have tried to peep in vain all our lives.
At the beginning of the film, the film borrows the superstition of pigeons to point out something intriguing about cause and effect. We always find a plausible explanation for our results, but what if it's all just a coincidence? At the crossroads of all major choices, we are forced to make choices one by one. Are these choices making us who we are? If I had made another choice, would I still be where I am now? Am I still me? we do not know. Because there is no option to start over in our lives.
The movie fulfilled our dream and showed us the different lives of the protagonist Nemo·Nobody under different choices. Before the birth, the angel forgot to erase the memory of the little Nemo. Therefore, the little Nemo after birth has the ability to predict the future. The divorce of his parents and the choice to follow his mother or his father have set him on a different path. Later, he met three girls respectively, and experienced three kinds of love in different choices: love, I love her, she doesn't love me, and she loves me and I don't love her.
And these three kinds of love are from stability to disorder, indicating the inevitable process of entropy increasing the universe. The smoke rings that are exhaled will not turn back into cigarettes, and the rotting rat corpses will not come back to life, unless, the universe collapses, time is reversed, chaos returns to order again, nothing happened, and everything is fine.
In addition to the theory of increasing entropy, the film also incorporates chaos theory, the butterfly effect, multidimensional space and parallel universes. In quantum theory, there is a famous thought experiment - "Schrödinger's cat", before opening the box, the cat is both alive and dead. In the movie, Nemo's various lives under different choices are similar. All the different lives are the predictions of the future when the nine-year-old boy faces the choices. Before the boy really makes a choice, all his lives exist in parallel. The little boy finally made his choice when the old Nemo shouted out Anna on his deathbed - "Before, he couldn't make a choice because he didn't know what was going to happen, now he knows the future, he's still Can't make a choice... In the chess game, this is called passive coercion, and the only feasible move is to stay still." At this time, all the parallel worlds began to disappear, leaving only the only world that opened the box and made a choice. know the future world.
Old Nemo laughed. He managed to live until 5:50 am on February 12, 2092. The universe began to collapse and time went back. He did not have a car accident, did not part with Anna, and his parents did not quarrel and divorce. When he was a child, he and Anna were throwing stones by the river, innocent and happy.
At the end of the film, the reporter said to the old Nemo, "Everything you say is contradictory, you can't be in two places at the same time."
Old Nemo replied, "You mean we have to make a choice."
"With so many life experiences, which one is correct?"
"Every experience is real, every path is the right path. Everything can be different and have equal significance."
Maybe it's our only comfort when we regret something. We can't go back to the past to change our choices, we have to believe that there are other parallel universes and parallel time and space, where we choose another diametrically opposite path, happy, or still regret it.
