On the surface, this movie is covered with suspense and brain-burning skin, but on the other hand, it does not require you to reason at all. The main idea is to first throw out quantum physics concepts such as a tall parallel universe and Schrödinger's cat, and then sublimate it from the back. It brings out the evil of human nature, but it has to be said that there is really a big paradox.
Among them, there are two important settings in the movie: one is that in the middle and later part of the movie, from the first perspective of the heroine, it can be seen that there are four, five or more parallel existences at the same time, and the other is that the hostess of the house goes to take a nap, But in the other house it was a woman with short white hair taking a nap, and you can see that the same thing can be done by different people.
Based on these two settings, how does the movie make sure that the people who go out to explore and come back are the same every time? Of course, the bald Hugh is because he wants to call his younger brother, so the other accompanying person can have other options (a total of 8 people have 7 travel possibilities). Furthermore, if the movie is set to have only one or two parallel universes, it can be said to be a coincidence. If there are countless, then there will be, for example, a group of people who go out, but two groups of people from two places will return and have not been marked yet. The probability of being in the same house will be very high. And there are many interactions of stickers knocking on the door, but none of them are face-to-face exchanges. The movie uses the reason of "Can you talk to the same person as yourself?" To prevaricate, then why are you so afraid? Are you still going out? When a normal person encounters this kind of thing, they either decide to sleep until dawn, or they drive back to their respective houses, but they continue to stay here to solve the so-called puzzles. Then you can solve the puzzles. It is understandable that you are too curious. , I solved it for a long time and found that Bai Jie was doing it. But in the early stage of the movie, there are indeed some reasoning sections, such as the numbers and tokens corresponding to the photos in the box, and the red, green and blue light sticks. At the beginning, the audience could also use this information to infer who came from which house. Later, it was said that as long as people who had gone out, it would be difficult for them to return to their original house, and that there were countless such houses and eight people in them. , which is equivalent to directly overturning all the previous inferences, and telling you that the reasoning is also a no-brainer...
This is equivalent to cutting off the meaning of the reasoning part of the movie, leaving only what it wants to express. The heroine is gradually lost in such a supernatural event, and everyone's life has changed. But movies are all about being immersive and empathetic, especially suspense thrillers. If even the most basic logic cannot make people feel reasonable, no matter how much you say, it will only make people feel very fake.
Finally, in fact, I think the behavior of the heroine at the end of the movie is quite confusing. In fact, even if she is no longer in the original parallel space, plus the bug of the movie is that no matter how people in other parallel universes are arranged and combined, there are 8 different people. , then what's the problem with living in other parallel universes. Then there is no need to set up countless universes at the same time. As long as there are three red, green and blue, and then the plot of the reasoning part is perfected, the plot can be written very reasonably.
