1. Children's eyes are the bridge to see through the
truth The exaggeration to be shown remains. At the beginning of the film, a strong dark style strikes, which makes people feel like watching a horror movie for a while. Because of the bizarre death of his grandfather and the things left behind, the male protagonist Jack decides to go to the island that his grandfather kept talking about.
And Jack's parents have always been unable to believe the story that grandfather told Jack when he was a child. In the film, Jack is considered to have a delusional disorder. The parents took him to see a psychiatrist. The doctor told them that if the child really wanted to go to the island to find out , maybe after he saw it with his own eyes, the fantasy will get better. But the doctor was actually premeditated.
Under the advice of a psychiatrist, Jack and his father came to the island that Grandpa once said, but the father still mocked and thought that Grandpa's thoughts were very strange, what would be a girl floating in the sky, an invisible child, etc. are impossible to exist. But in my opinion, Jack insists on his own ideas in the film because he has not really seen everything his grandfather said, and the "reality" that his father understands is a definition of self, super powers are fake, The bedside story is true if it is nonsense; the grandfather goes out to save the world is false, and it is true to seek an affair; the son said that it is false to see monsters, and it is true that he has a delusional disorder. Only in this way can it be closer to reality.
This is the children's world understood by adults. It is naive and ridiculous. It conveys its own ideas to children as a person who has come here. But in life, parents should actually be patient with their children. When children are young, you don't need to destroy the world they know at that time, because they don't need to bear things that do not belong to their age at that time.
Regarding eyes, there is also a scene in the film that focuses on description, monsters can restore their human appearance by eating the eyes of special children. On the one hand, the children are innocent, and their eyes are clear and innocent. On the other hand, the monsters have eaten the "innocent" eyes and covered their "ugly" appearance. Their world is the most real, and they won't lie, but adults still adhere to their "seeing is believing" philosophy and are reluctant to listen to children's words.
In the film, The Law of Time to Survive
, Jack has a deep relationship with his grandfather. Although everyone told him that the story of his grandfather was false, he still chose to believe. He believed in the existence of those special children. After that, he was in the ruined castle on the island. He found a photo of a children's home, and cleverly, he accidentally met children with special needs.
Surprisingly, Jack recognized everyone at a glance and called out their names. Jack followed everyone to September 3, 1943. At this time, the style of the movie changed from dark to warm, and the castle also changed. From the ruins to an intact appearance, Miss Perry Green, as the owner of the castle, protects these special children. She introduced to Jack how the children's special abilities maintain this unique space.
But here, everyone lives the same every day, because time is stagnant on September 3, 1943, and Miss Perry Green created a space-time circle for this day here to protect everyone. Jack finally completely believed in the story told by his grandfather. He saw everyone in the story, but he didn't know that he was actually a special child. In fact, his grandfather never told him the truth. The day is coming to an end, Jack wants to return to his own world, but his curiosity makes him stay to witness the whole process of turning back time, and Emma's sad remark when he leaves the time circle for the first time makes me feel How terrifying and helpless the passage of time is for a person.
2. Trust becomes a weapon in a crisis
The second time Jack came, in order to understand what the bad guys did to make Grandpa's death so bizarre, Miss Perry Green finally told him the origin of the monsters, and Grandpa's death was probably the result of the bad guy Barron's death. The monster went to attack Grandpa. At this time, Miss Perry Green also realized that the monsters may have discovered this place, and Jack wanted to leave. He told Jack that he had only one purpose in coming here, that is, to seek the truth of his grandfather's death, and he had no fighting ability.
Emma is heartbroken, and she begs Jack to stay and help them, because only he has the eyes to see monsters. Jack is very contradictory. After returning to the island, he accidentally led the monster into the time circle. He knew that he had brought disaster to everyone. In order to protect everyone, Miss Perry Green was locked in a cage by Barron. Before she was locked in, she chose to trust Jack, hoping that he could protect everyone and escape this disaster.
But Barron was very cunning. After losing everything, he turned himself into Jack, hoping that Jack's comrades couldn't tell that they killed him, but Jack used his words and abilities to make his comrades believe him, because Only he has eyes that can see monsters.
In the end, Barron suffered the consequences and died at the hands of the monster he created, but Jack was very sad because he was going to be completely separated from Emma. The damage of the time circle made him only return to reality, but when he went back, he found Grandpa came back, and grandpa also told him to go to her if he wanted to have it. Of course, there is a happy ending in the end.
In this film, a message of love and trust was revealed throughout the whole process. Whether it was Grandpa's protection of Ike, or the cooperation between every special child, they all treated each other with the most sincere hearts. From the initial sympathy to the final revealing of true feelings, I constantly feel that although it is a fantasy film, it has warm feelings.
