When I first saw the title, I thought it was a science fiction film. Indeed, in the story of the film, there was a bit of science fiction and imagination involved. In the film, it is believed that the world we live in is not the only one. There is a world exactly like ours in this universe, and it is very close to us, that is another earth, but at the end of the film, there is nothing about another earth. Show, so this can only be a slightly suspenseful drama.
The film started with a smart girl. She was unruly, prosperous and hopeful. She received the acceptance letter from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She thinks that nothing is impossible in her future. At the same time, the hero of the film-a musician, has a good career and a happy family. But when the graceful girl met this man in the family happiness, everything changed. The girl caused a traffic accident, and she drove into the family of three. The girl lost her freedom and her dream. She was sentenced to four years in prison, while the musician lost his wife and children.
The film quickly turned to four years later. In four years, the girl has changed a lot. She is burdened with a sense of guilt. She has become uncomfortable and does not like to talk to too many people. She is suffering from murder in her heart. The guilt that comes. She couldn't get rid of the torture caused by this guilt. She even chose to commit suicide, but was rescued. Later, she chose to work as a cleaner. Later, she wanted to apologize to the musician, but she chose to escape in front of him, and she chose cowardice. She was defeated in the face of guilt. She didn’t know what to say, maybe she Not ready yet. She cleans up the musician by accident. She hopes that this will improve his life and make his life a little better. Later, there was a good feeling between her and him. I think this good feeling stems from the resonance and understanding of people who are on the verge of desperate life, but in the end they failed to get together because it was impossible. She killed him. Wife and children. When the girl was drawn and had a chance to land on another earth, she came to say goodbye to him. He was reluctant to let her go and told her not to leave. She just told him the story of a girl, and that was her story. After listening to that story, she let him decide whether to stay. As you can imagine, the musician would not have any good feelings for the person who killed his wife and children, and she left. Finally, the girl gave the opportunity to the musician. She hoped that he could land on another earth, and she hoped that he could see his wife and children on another earth, because according to the theory of scientists, there is a mirror image relationship between the two earths. , And on the day of the car accident four years ago, because the two earths were too close to each other, they saw each other. Since then, the people on the two earths have followed different life trajectories. The girl was finally free, she completed her self-salvation process.
The whole film is quite difficult to understand, especially at the end of the film. A very unexpected result. The girl met a girl from Earth 2 in Earth 1. The film ended in the eyes of the two. Is there a musician? Seeing his wife and children, the film did not directly tell us, it was an open ending.
While watching the movie, I kept thinking about what this film wanted to express. Although I didn't watch it thoroughly, I still want to talk about my own understanding. In fact, the hardest thing for a person to forgive is oneself. It is much harder for others to forgive you and oneself to forgive yourself. So the movie will imagine that there is another self in this world, and if you look at many things from another self's perspective, you will see many differences.
