"The Night the Comet Came"

The script and editing make it impossible to feel that this is the result of the creator's deliberately complicated design or just overdoing it. In general, an effect that makes the audience suspicious, thinking, and guessing but not blindly looking for bugs has been achieved.

After reading several analysis film reviews, I don't quite understand those theories, but I can feel that there must be a primitive physical theory supported by the writer and director himself.

In addition, the performances of the actors are very good, which is of course inseparable from the filming method adopted by the director.

In short, it is worth watching repeatedly for those audiences who need to burn their brains, and I am also satisfied enough for me who only care about the "multi-world interpretation" and the darkness of human nature conveyed by the film.

  • [last lines]

    Kevin: [his phone ringing] That's weird. It's you calling me. Hello?

  • Laurie: Em, you seem to be the comet expert here. What happened the last time?

    Em: This one passed over a hundred years ago, but much farther.

    Laurie: But do we know about anything that happened?

    Em: Nothing happened then, it was too far away.

    Laurie: So, is there any reason we should be freaked out right now?

    Em: Well, I mean, it is a lot closer this time.

    Laurie: What does that mean?

    Em: Okay. I read one more thing...

    Lee: Oh, another story!

    Em: Just one more. It's called the Tunguska Event, and, um, it was a comet or a meteor or something like that, that entered the atmosphere over Siberia and exploded over Earth. So it didn't actually have physical impact. It didn't touch Earth, it didn't leave a crater or anything, but the force of that explosion flattened trees for hundreds of miles. But it only killed about one to two people.

    Laurie: It's Siberia. There were probably only two people there.

    Em: Yeah, but they don't necessarily...

    Mike: [jokingly] It wiped out the population of Siberia.

    Laurie: Basically, yeah.

    Em: Right.

    Laurie: Well, that doesn't make me feel better.

    Kevin: And when was this?

    Em: It was like, in 1908, 1903...
