My predictions are well-founded. For an independent film, there are no star actors and no big-name directors. The scene basically never leaves the room. All the plots are advanced by the director's brain hole and the actors' mouth cannons. This makes me very happy. Naturally, I think of "This Man From Earth", a sci-fi suspense film that relies on a few people sitting in the room and talking. There are also "Buried Alive" and "Twelve Angry Men" of the same type. The main elements are the same , secret room, suspense, and a brain that keeps people running. These films have proved that as long as the setting and story of the film are hard enough, the rest can be omitted, and a good film can still be made without spending money.
It can be inferred from this matter that cross talk will not die. As long as you can figure out a way to hold the audience in their seats, and they do, you're 90 percent successful.
The disadvantages of making movies like this are also obvious, that is, the error tolerance rate is relatively low. In other commercial blockbusters, if the story is not good, you can use the acting skills, and if the acting skills are not good, you can use the special effects. Usually, there is always something that can be done. However, as long as there are loopholes in the setting and plot of this kind of secret room suspense film, it must be completely broken. , there is no room for negotiation.
Just like pretending to be coercive, if you want to pretend to be coercive, you must be fully prepared and at the same time take the risk of being scolded as a fool.
The secret room adds sci-fi and suspense, and it might just shoot yourself in the foot.
Fortunately, this movie is quite smooth. Although it is the director's debut, it does not leave people with a jerky feeling of green pheasants. On the contrary, several suspenseful ambush and unfolding are very natural, which can be given 90 points. As for the part related to science fiction, I don't understand it, so I won't make any comments. In short, there are no obvious loopholes in my cognition.
The story of the movie is not complicated, as can be guessed from the title of this article, light, secrets and parallel universes.
The light and the secret are the important elements of the film. Light is a scarce resource at night. Humans have phototaxis, especially at night when the power is out. Light represents a sense of security and is also the most reliable partner. But under another condition, one has to hide from the light and hide in the dark, that is, when it is necessary to hide a secret.
Several characters in the movie are caught between internal contradictions and external contradictions. Inside, they each have their own secrets. The three couples have a gap in their hearts, and the relationship between them is elusive, but they keep a distance from each other. It's interesting to break that layer of window paper and the external pressure on the unknown world forces them to unite.
The outside of the house is full of unknown dangers, and the inside of the house is full of undercurrents and complex relationships.
This setting is destined to keep the film from being boring, and one of the most crucial elements introduced by the director ensures that it all speaks for itself. That is the idea of parallel universes.
The concept of parallel universes comes from that famous theory, Schrödinger's cat.
Put a cat in an opaque box with a radioactive substance-controlled gas device, and the radioactive substance decays and kills the cat, and the probability of it decaying is 50 percent.
Therefore, the probability of the cat surviving is also 50%, but the result can only be known when the box is opened, so the cat in the box is theoretically in a dual state of death and life, from which a parallel universe is derived. theory. In theory, as long as we are in one parallel universe, it is impossible to touch another universe, just as two parallel lines can never intersect, but there may be an accident.
For example, the night the comet came.
Again, it's going to be a spoiler. All in all, the concept of parallel universe has no reference object in reality, so all derived related storylines must be analyzed in combination with existing moral and philosophical views, but it is not fully applicable, which is the controversy of the film. As described in the novel Three-Body Problem, a larger moral law must be followed in the universe, whether it is called the dark forest or the golden grassland, the first priority is to survive, and the second goal is to expand and survive. is the greatest morality.
Going too far, the movie doesn't have much to say without spoilers, go see it for yourself.
By the way, I give this film 8 points, good night.
