I discussed with people before, and some people said that the male and female protagonists are lovers, which is a bit ridiculous. With this picture?
Does the hair look like a male protagonist? If it is the male protagonist, you should put a pair of glasses on the table as a reminder, and if it is a couple, why is the first encounter between two people so unfamiliar?
The most reasonable explanation is that the heroine danced in the club and was taken back to the hotel by the guests. When she woke up in the morning to go to work, she witnessed the murder of the male protagonist and did not forget to take the tips from the guests when she ran away. Moreover, when the hostess called the police, she said that she was in the hotel, and she obviously showed that she was not familiar with this place. She said the address several times and didn't say it right.
This also explains why the female protagonist doesn't go back when she is being chased all over the street. First, she is afraid that the male protagonist will find her, and second, because the hotel was brought to the hotel by a guest, she can't go back. Next, what is the ending of this episode?
The most common interpretation is that this is an infinite space-time cycle. The male protagonist killed the female protagonist 1 by mistake, and was seen by the female protagonist 2. The male protagonist 1 wanted to explain, so the two began to chase. The second time in the same room, the male protagonist 1 was killed by the female protagonist, but was seen by the male protagonist 2 again, so a new round of chasing started. The ouroboros in the title suggest the looping structure of the short film, while the swaying eyes point to witnesses who see the murder.
In the endless time loop, the two keep repeating the chase, over and over again, with no end in sight. It's as if the chicken or the egg came first. It doesn't matter who kills who first.
In this world, the two of them seem to be chained together. As the TV background says: It's my leash! They're tied to the world. Of course, the highlight of this episode is not only the superficial story, but also many details worthy of attention.
1. The heroine was late, explained that she had encountered a murder, and the club owner said: You always have strange reasons. It means that the heroine has said similar reasons more than once, but the boss remembers it, which proves that in this world, only the memory of the person who was killed will be cleared and reset, while others will not.
2. Every dawn is a restart. After the female 2 kills the male 1, there is obviously a process in which the sky gradually brightens. After that, the male 2 witnesses. At the beginning, when one man kills one woman, there is a similar picture of this street.
3. Their fate has already been hinted on the stairs of the club, and there is graffiti on the walls of the stairs, a terrified man Say NO! !
4. 3D+2D. Surrealism plus traditional comic style. It's fun to pause and see the comic strips often.
In addition to the above version, in fact, there can be another bolder interpretation.
That is, from the beginning to the end, only the heroine is the murderer. We can see that both guns are held in the hands of the heroine. However, at the beginning, the woman was killed by the man during the fight, and the second time, the woman killed the man.
Therefore, it can be seen that there is only one gun from beginning to end, and it is all held in the hands of the heroine. This gun was brought by the heroine from Vladimir, indicating that the story started from the heroine, who killed the hero first. The male protagonist becomes a ghost, forcing the female protagonist into this cycle of fear.
We can see that in the chase, the image of the male protagonist was processed into a comic version for a few seconds, a somewhat crazy and terrifying image.
Except during the quarrel between the two, there have been one or two cases of this kind of comic treatment, which will flash by soon. In the chase, only the male protagonist has been processed, and it is easy to spot for several shots. Does this imply that the heroine is being chased by something? Also, there have been a few scenes. On the billboards in the city, there is a program called, She's Crazy.
There are three places in total, zoom in to see the words "THE DAY SHE ... CRAZY", and there is a line of time in the middle of the face. And the makeup of this image is somewhat similar to that of the heroine. Does it mean that the heroine is actually crazy? So, can it be understood that after killing the male protagonist, the female protagonist's mental state is abnormal, so she imagines that the male protagonist becomes a ghost, forcing herself to fall into this cycle of time and space, and keep repeating the chase.
This is just my own guess, another interpretation based on some details, and I feel a little unclear. You are welcome to leave a message for discussion.
