Analysis, just the pace of the devil

First of all, it must be clarified that the inspiration for the film is taken from the same typeIt's just that there are some conceptual differences between the two, but this doesn't make this film distinctive.

I believe that most sci-fi fans can guess the ending and story frame in half an hour, so the film still stays on the basis of imitation and transformation, and the suspense effect is not particularly ideal.

Moreover, the movie "lives up to expectations" and even really copied it in the same bureau. For the time being, we will treat it as a tribute to inspiration.

Then the only thing that can be said is that it andWhat is the difference? The meaning of this film is actually very easy to understand. Let's first figure out what the so-called signal is, a control mechanism, desire induction, and intuitive guidance. Its meaning is two-way selection, it is also the signal that the signal selects the object, and your self-awareness also conforms to the signal.

Nic (the male protagonist) is an accidental object and the most logically induced result of the signal. The target group itself is locked in superior humans with high IQ, that is, hackers, but Nic's experience makes him a special experimental subject. .

The film actually spent a lot of time on the phantom fragments of Nic, staying at the intersection blocked by the rapids, and the lingering memory with Haley, the unwillingness to the facts, the regrets ruined his hopes, the rejection of the signals and the facts. After disagreement, his sense of resistance became stronger. The aliens discovered his uniqueness and made them expect him much higher than others.

Therefore, it can be seen that the aliens have made Nic escape the idea several times and are intentional and deliberate.

For example, passing through the heroine’s ward,

deliberately letting him communicate with Jonah, the implementation of the

irregular and negligent supervision model

and planning to escape.


Many people think these may be bad injuries, but this happens to be part of the alien plan, which is always given in a continuous loop. The actor's fluke hopes suppress him again, and once again use the heroine to arouse his motivation and increase the bargaining chip for the success of the experiment.

The humans staying in this area are weakened by signal brainwashing, and they are the subject of failure. They subconsciously know that they are not on the earth, but their brains have been damaged by drugs and hypnotic signals. They only have some basic memory support, and they are in a trance state.


By the end of the film, the purpose of the experiment gradually emerged. Jonah made a desperate fight to protect his friends and stimulated the greatest potential of his arm.

The aliens continued to give Nic hope, and the capture of the heroine once again made him disillusioned. At this time, the appearance of Dr. Damon was nothing more than a preparation for the final irritation of him. In addition to love, human emotions also need hate. Finally, Nic released this ability. The combination of mechanical equipment and human volitional potential was brought to the limit of performance, and the aliens got successful experimental results.

Obviously this is the project that aliens are researching in this "zone"

and Dr. Damon is just in charge of a humble AI in this jurisdiction

because this is just a small step in the research for aliens.

The Signal quotes

  • Haley: Nic, I offer to help, not because I think you need it, but because I know you don't.

  • Nic: The truth of the matter? What is the truth of the matter here? The only thing I know for certain is that you don't know what you're dealing with. You will be pulled from this shitty little shack you call a research facility so fast that the only thing relevant to be shown for any of this is the way it's all exposed, wrecked, and forgotten. You have *no* idea! You have no clue! Do you? Have any clue how fast dumb, lost little kids like me, Jonah, or Nomad could ruin a place like this? Have it come grinding to a halt like the stone wheel it is? You're clueless law in the Wild West, Damon. You're a relic protecting ruins. You're pathetic! The truth of the matter is that I'm the only one that has any sense around here.
