There are many movies with infinite reincarnation, "Butterfly Effect", "Edge of Tomorrow", "Terrorist Cruise", "Source Code" and so on.

But this "Happy Death Day" has a unique and charming place - the campus factor .

There are not so many complex scientific theories to support or anything, it is a starting point that makes people look good, without spending IQ to reason and review every frame .

All the foreshadowing of the movie, the director will tell you directly.

Here are the spoilers...


————————————————————————————————————————————————

The story takes place in a university

The protagonist is a bitchy female classmate, a typical rebellious girl . Her name is Xiaocui.

She doesn't do her job and goes to various alcohol parties in the evening, even though she has a 9 o'clock class tomorrow morning.

Uh...the same is true of many young people now.

She's a bitch, she can sleep with all kinds of boys.

Boys who meet on one side, boyfriends of sisters, and even teachers with wives.

As long as she is good-looking, she can conquer.

She's a bitch, she can speak ill of anyone .

The roommate made a small cake for her to celebrate her birthday, and she made a wish for a new roommate. He turned his head and threw the little cake in the trash in front of his roommate.

A male classmate asked her why she hadn't texted him for days, and she said he didn't have a Subway sandwich manager.

(The source of the subtitles is unknown, if there is any infringement, please inform us, the same below)

That "Subway" sandwich is at least tough enough.

This day, Monday, September 18, is Xiaocui's birthday.

When I woke up in the morning, I found myself lying on the bed of an unfamiliar male student's dormitory. It turned out that I drank again last night.

Leaving the boys' dormitory, on the way back to her dormitory, some classmates asked her to sign against global warming, some couples were dating beside the sprinklers, there were car horns honking, and there were group activities of the community fraternity.

Of course, she didn't pay much attention to these details.

In the evening, the sisters in the dormitory gave her a surprise birthday party. Wow, I'm so excited again, I quickly put on a nail polish and rush over.

Just as she was on her way to the party, in a small tunnel, the first horrific footage appeared.

That's right, the film's mascot, a man in a disfigured Anpanman mask appears in front of him.

At first, Xiao Cui thought it was one of the surprises for her birthday, but she didn't care too much. But looking back and finding that he was still staring at her, Xiao Cui felt a little guilty.

She didn't expect that the moment she ran out of the small tunnel, "Anpanman" caught up and killed her.


The next second, Xiao Cui found that she was lying on the bed of the unfamiliar male student's dormitory again. I thought I had a nightmare.

But after leaving the boys' dormitory, the details of those experiences reappeared.

Another classmate asked her to sign against global warming, another couple went on a date next to the sprinkler, another car horn sounded, and another group activity of the fraternity.

At the corner, I met the male classmate who was "playing a short barberry sandwich". She asked "what day is it today", and the male classmate answered her "Monday, September 18" .

This is fun, the infinite loop of reincarnation begins!

Of course, Xiao Cui still thought that she just predicted everything.

On the way to the birthday party in the evening, she was smart this time and reached the party site without going through the small tunnel.

She thought she had finally escaped Anpanman.

She continued to use her bitch skills, hooked up with the boy that her roommates and sisters had a crush on early in the morning, and followed him to the small room.

While we were having a good time, "Anpanman" turned up at the party!

It's a disaster, dear.

Yes, she was killed again.

That's right, the next second she woke up on the bed in the unfamiliar male student's dormitory.

This time in the reincarnation, she chose to lock herself in the dormitory, thinking that as long as she escaped the killing of "Anpanman", she would be able to go to tomorrow.

Hehehe, do you think a few nails can stop me "Anpanman"? !

Did not expect it? I'm in the dorm!

Obviously, our little Cui has returned to the bed in the boys' dormitory...

This time, she confessed her experience to the owner of the bed with infinite restart function.

The strange male classmate's name is Carter.

Carter is amazing, he actually chooses to believe Xiao Cui's words and make suggestions for her. His point of view is that there must be a certain reason for Xiaocui's infinite loop.

And the biggest possibility is the person who Xiaocui offended and who knows Xiaocui's birthday today.


So Xiaocui began to make a list and also listed her own crimes.

If I don't make a list, I don't know that I have offended so many people.

So Xiaocui checked one by one, followed one by one.

Of course, she also died again and again, reincarnated again and again, and returned to the bed in the boys' dormitory again and again on her birthday.

But it didn't matter, because she died of self-confidence .

He even used his passive skills of reincarnation to run around the campus.

Every reincarnation has benefited her a lot.

Carter just took her back to the dormitory to take care of her, and didn't think anything of her.

The Subway boy is gay. In order to hide himself, he pretended to be interested in Xiao Cui.

Although the head of the dormitory has been betrayed by Xiao Cui many times, he still regards Xiao Cui as a sister.

Every person Xiaocui thinks is motivated is actually not "Anpanman".

Instead, she let Xiaocui know that the people around her were so kind to her, and she always looked at everyone with labels.

It turned out that he was such a bitch before.

Especially in a reincarnation, Carter sacrificed his life to save Xiaocui.

Xiaocui could have killed the murderer, but she thought that if this ended, Carter would leave this world.

Therefore, in order to save Carter this time, Xiaocui chose to commit suicide and returned to the restart point of reincarnation.

This time, she chose to start being a good person.

Xiaocui agreed to resist global warming.

Let the Subway guys be themselves and find a boyfriend.

Apologize to your roommate for your previous behavior, ask forgiveness, and start over.

Xiao Cui finally understands why she is reincarnating in an infinite loop on this birthday.

Because this is her path to self-redemption, she knows she has to change herself.

If you want "tomorrow" to come and end today, you must not only find the murderer, but also start over and be a good person.

He and his father put their quarrels to rest. In the afternoon, I had a meal with my dad, who took time out from the busyness, to celebrate his birthday.

She was finally willing to face herself, treat the people around her well, and cherish the people around her who were kind to herself.

Change yourself, be a kind person, and you can start at any time.

Just like a sentence posted on the door of Carter's dormitory.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life

This time Xiaocui seized the opportunity and came to the murderer's ward.

After some fighting, the murderer was finally killed.


Xiaocui thought to herself, this is finally over.

Xiaocui returned to Carter's dormitory, and the two celebrated their birthday together. When Xiaocui was holding the small cake and was about to make a wish and blow out the candles, Carter asked, "What do you want?"

Xiaocui replied, "Tomorrow."

Carter: "Isn't that right?"

Xiaocui: "Tomorrow is enough."

When she finally realized that she had so much everything, Xiaocui finally learned to be content. I just hope that this infinite being killed and infinite reincarnation can be ended, and it will be tomorrow after waking up.

As long as there is tomorrow, I will be a good person, live a good life, cherish myself, and cherish the people around me.

Oh, how can things be so simple.

Yes, there is a reversal! After Xiaocui woke up, she returned to the restart point!

what the hell!

Xiaocui thought it was all over, she had already found the murderer! Why can't we escape the endless cycle of reincarnation!

Who is the real "Anpanman"?

Xiaocui was not killed on the last night, why did she return to the restart point of reincarnation?

I will not say!

Go see the movie!


In fact, many times

We all often inadvertently say something or do something

Inadvertently hurt people around you

Probably not on purpose, so didn't care too much afterwards

And the people who are hurt, but they hate you because of it

Little Eyes remembered "This! It's Street Dance

What Huang Zitao said

"Being a kind person is more important than anything else"

Hope that whether you're the one who was hurt unintentionally

Someone who accidentally hurt someone

you can muster the courage

Treat this day as the first day of the rest of your life

With the TA you once met, let go of the past suspicions

Because acquaintance is fate

  • [Tree storms into her room. She hastily starts packing her belongings]

    Lori Spengler: She finally rolls in...

    [Lori looks at Tree, puzzled]

    Lori Spengler: Going somewhere?

    Tree Gelbman: Yes. As far away as possible.

    Lori Spengler: Tree, what's wrong?

    Tree Gelbman: [continues packing] Me. I was wrong. I thought that if I stopped running that I could beat it. But it's never gonna stop.

    Lori Spengler: Tree, you're freaking me out.

    Tree Gelbman: Hello, that's me, a freak!

    [Lori takes the cupcake, lights the candle, approaches Tree and hands her the cupcake]

    [suddenly, it dawns on Tree who is the murderer. She stops packing]

    Tree Gelbman: Oh, my God. I died in my sleep.

    Lori Spengler: What?

    [Tree turns to face Lori]

    Tree Gelbman: You killed me.

    Lori Spengler: What?

    Tree Gelbman: You poisoned it. But I never ate it before.

    [a flasback: Tree drops the cupcake on the floor without eating it]

    Tree Gelbman: So you had to find another way. Then Tombs fell right into your lap. Perfect scapegoat.

    [flashbacks: Tombs is transported on a stretcher while Lori watches; Lori injects Tombs sedatives; Lori plants a knife in Tombs' room and covers his face with the babyface mask; Lori kills Tree, then removes the mask]

    Tree Gelbman: You had access to him. Did you drug him first? You knew that if he escaped, everyone would assume that he killed me. But it was always you.

    Lori Spengler: [chuckles nervously] Tree, are... is this a joke? You think I would actually try to poison you with a freaking cupcake?

    Tree Gelbman: [shrugs] Okay then. Prove it.

    [Tree takes the cupcake, blows the candle and hands the cupcake back to Lori]

    Tree Gelbman: Go on, Lori. Take a bite. Go on, Lori.

    Lori Spengler: [shakes her head, chuckling nervously] You really are crazy.

    Tree Gelbman: [smiles] Okay then. I'll take it down to the police. I'm sure they can tell us what your little birthday treat is made of.

    [as Tree starts walking away, Lori wears a sinister expression. She grabs Tree's hair, then knocks her against the bathroom door. Tree falls to the floor. While she is momentarily stunned, Lori chuckles nastily, locks the room door and faces Tree]

    Lori Spengler: [contemptuously] You stupid little whore.

    Tree Gelbman: [fearfully] I know I've been a bad roommate, but... isn't this a bit much? What the hell?

    Lori Spengler: Oh, I don't know. Maybe because you wouldn't stop sleeping with him.

    Tree Gelbman: What? Gregory?

    Lori Spengler: [venomously] But he just kept choosing you over me. I guess all he wanted was a cheap slut like you!

    Tree Gelbman: [in disbelief] Wait, you've been killing me over some stupid guy?

    Lori Spengler: [shakes her head] Oh, that's not the only reason. You're a dumb bitch, too! What I really wanna know is, how did you figure it out?

    Tree Gelbman: Because you've killed me before.

    Lori Spengler: [smiles] Then I guess I'm just gonna have to do it again.

    [Lori steps toward Tree. Tree kicks her in the stomach. Lori doubles up painfully]
