As a suspense film, "Terror Cruise" is undoubtedly the leader in the theme of reincarnation. The first feeling after watching it was that it was logically powerful and amazing. After thinking about it, I wanted to re-watch the film to check the confusion in my mind. solution.

The following are some analysis of the plot: (There may be errors, please correct me.)



I won't go into details about the plot here. I will start the discussion directly with Jessie's devil's journey on the cruise ship. I believe you have seen it before. Everyone in the film has agreed that there is reincarnation on the cruise ship, and I have to emphasize one more thing: except for the time when the masked Jess is pushed into the sea, there are always three Jess on the cruise ship at the same time.

Now that the above content has been clarified, we will set the repeated reincarnation on the cruise ship as *-ABCDEFGHIJK-* The letters represent different batches of Jessie's seats on the small sailboats, and the asterisks represent the letters that extend forward and backward infinitely, for convenience. To explain, I might as well cut the three groups of Jessie and her companions involved in the film as D, E, and F. According to the development of the film, it is Jessie D and her companion D on board at the beginning, and as the story develops, Jessie D and her companion D get on the boat. West E and his companion E boarded the ship, and finally Jessie F and his companion F boarded the ship. At this point, the film with Jessie D as the first perspective ended.

If you want to clarify the logical relationship through the details of the film, it is necessary to organize the sequence of activities of Jessie D from the first perspective. (as follows)

Jessie D: Jessie D and her companion D board the boat - pick up the key - find the words "Go to the theater" in blood in the bathroom with Greg D - meet Victor D in blood in the lobby and Kills him by mistake during entanglement - Hears gunfire and rushes to movie theater - Finds The Masked Man (Jessie B) shoots Greg D, Donnie D and Sally D - Fights with the Masked Man (Jessy B) and ends up killing him Pushing it into the sea - seeing Jessie E and her companion E boarding the ship - accidentally dropping the key - entering the bathroom and seeing the words "Go to the theater" in blood - seeing the body of Downey D in the sea - meeting and accidentally hurting Victor E - see the ball of paper (repeat thing one) - see the necklace (repeat thing two) - get the pistol - meet Victor E again - stop Jessie E from hurting Victor E and let Jessie E go - - Found Greg E's body in the theater - Fighting the masked cutthroat (Jessie C) and rescued Sally E and Donnie E - Found badly injured Sally E dead (repeat thing 3) - Witnessed Jessie E pushes the masked cutthroat girl (Jessie C) into the sea - sees Jessie F and her companion F on board - tries to stop the boat (unsuccessful) - sees Jessie E accidentally injuring Victor F - Went into the bathroom and wrote "Go to the theater" in blood on the mirror (repeat thing 4, this is the key point) - Pushes the bodies of the stabbed Donnie E and the shot Greg E into the sea - - Tricked Downey F and Sally F to go to the theater - Incarnated as a masked man and shot Greg F, Downey F and Sally F - was pushed into the sea by Jessie F during a fight.

The above is the action sequence table with Jessie D as the first point of view. From the table, we can see that during the whole activity of Jessie D, two groups of people have boarded the boat, namely Jessie E and her companion E, West F and his companion F, so the time of Jessie D's existence includes the broad scope of (DEFG), and it should be pointed out that Jessie D's actions are presented to everyone through the film, so you should not have big doubts.

Next, we will sort out Jessie E's action sequence list. Jessie E's existence time range is (EFGH). In the film, only the time period of EF can actually be observed, so I will follow the time period that may cause confusion. For the time being, mark it with blank, and analyze it in detail later.

Jessie E: Jessie E and her companion E board the ship - Find the key - Find the words "Go to the theater" in blood in the bathroom with Greg E - See Victor E while being held by Jessie D Threat and let go—Blank ① (see Analysis 1)—Fight with the Masked Cutthroat Girl (ie Jessie C) and push her into the sea—Jessie F and her companion F board the ship—Accidentally drop the key ——Going into the bathroom and seeing the bloody words “Go to the theater”——Meeting and accidentally hurting Victor F——Blank ②(See Analysis 2)——Jessie G and his companion G board the ship——Blank ③(See Analysis 3)

In order to better understand Jessie D's actions, it is necessary to list the actions of Jessie C in the previous round. The time frame of Jessie C's existence is (CDEF), we can roughly Learn about the sequence of actions for DEF during this time.

Jessie C: Jessie C and his companion C boarded the ship—blank④ (see analysis 4)—Jessie D and his companion D boarded the ship—accidentally dropped the key—entered the bathroom and saw the words “go to the theater” in blood— - Met and accidentally injured Victor D - Blank ⑤ (see Analysis 5) - Jessie E and her companion E board the ship - Trick Downey E and Sally E to the theater - Incarnate as a masked cutthroat woman in Playhouse shoots Greg E - meets gun-toting Jessie D - tricks Sally E and Donnie E into bathroom - Kills Donnie E and stabs Sally E - gets shot by Jessie E during fight with Jessie E pushed into the sea

Analysis 1: Blank ① Exists after Jessie D stopped Jessie E from killing Victor E by mistake and before Jessie E fought the masked cutthroat girl (ie Jessie C), during this time Jessie E to the end What did you do? We might as well pay attention to one detail - the disappearance of Victor E's body. At that time, Jessie D heard gunshots after preventing Jessie E from killing Victor E by mistake, and immediately rushed to the theater to stop the masked cutthroat girl ( That is, Jessie C) killed Donnie E and Sally E. When Jessie D stopped Jessie C's crime and rushed back to the hall to look for Victor E, he found that Victor E had disappeared, but was There was a string of bloodstains leading to the side of the ship left in the hall, which means that Victor E's body had been thrown into the sea by someone. The only person on the cruise ship who was not able to move freely at that time was Jessie E, so in the blank ① What Jessie E completed was to wait for the gun-wielding Jesse D to leave and then return to the hall, seeing the dying or dead Victor E, and pushing him into the sea. Here we may discuss again whether Jessie E killed Victor E by mistake. Assumption 1: Victor E was already dead at that time, then Jessie E and Victor E's death should have nothing to do with it (because of accidental injury Victor E's is Jessie D), then Jessie E's first reaction is naturally to flee the scene quickly instead of pushing Victor E's body into the sea to destroy the corpse, after all, he has nothing to do with his death , but the fact is that Victor E's body was pushed into the sea by the only person with free time, Jessie E, so the assumption is not true. Hypothesis 2: Victor E and Jessie E are entangled. In the process of Victor E trying to strangle Jessie E, Jessie E kills Victor E by mistake. Jessie E needs to deal with Victor E in order to hide the crime. Keto E's body, so it was pushed into the sea. In this way, it is obvious that the second hypothesis is more logical, so the second hypothesis is adopted.

So the behavior in the blank ① is - Jessie E returns to the hall after Jessie D leaves - fights with Victor E and kills him by mistake - pushes Victor E's body into the sea - in a certain The masked slit-throat woman (i.e. Jessie C) was found

Analysis 2: Blank ② exists in the period from when Jessie E met and accidentally injured Victor F until Jessie G and her companion G boarded the ship. This part is not mentioned clearly in the film, but refer to Jessie. D, you might as well deduce the general trend. This film revolves around the topic of reincarnation from beginning to end, so you can find recurring things in the process of the film. In the process of taking Jessie D as the first point of view, the paper appears The group, the necklace, Sally who was stabbed to death by the cut-throat woman, and the bloody words "Go to the theater" that repeatedly appeared in the mirror, among which the paper ball, the necklace, and the stabbed Sally were Jessie D in Jessie E and her companion E It happened after boarding the ship, and the bloody words "Go to the theater" on the mirror were written by Jessie D after Jessie F and her companion F boarded the ship. If there is a deviation in these recurring things, reincarnation will fail. Go on, for example: If "Go to the theater" is not written in the mirror, then Greg F will not rush to the theater, and Jessie D will not be able to shoot Greg F successfully, and further, if Jessie If C did not kill Donnie E in the bathroom, then there would be no blood stains in the bathroom for Jesse D to write the message of "going to the theater", so it can be seen that the reincarnation in this film is not a simple self-reincarnation based on the sequence of individual actions. Instead, it is constantly "interacting" with people in reincarnation. Now that this is clear, we can go to the next stage: comparing Jessie B's encounter in the DE time period with Jessie D's encounter in the F-G time period, it is found that the action sequence of Jessie B and Jessie D is the same. , that is, Jessie B has the same actions as Jessie D during the BCDF period. Since it has been known that Jessie D is in a similar cycle, Jessie C must have the same action sequence as Jessie E; to understand What happened in the blank ② after Jessie E met and accidentally injured Victor F to Jessie G and her companion G, it is only necessary to clarify what happened to Jessie C in the blank ⑤, because Jessie E was in the The actions of West G and his partner G after boarding the ship are blank ③, so we can only infer the action sequence of blank ⑤ by looking for clues in the activity sequence of Jessie E and his partner E after boarding the ship, and then deduce Jessie. The sequence of actions of E in blank ②.
Jessie C's sequence of actions during the EF time period: Jessie E and her companion E board the ship - Trick Donnie E and Sally E to the theater - Turn into a masked cutthroat woman and shoot Greg E in the theater - - Met Jessie D with gun - Tricked Sally E and Donnie E into bathroom - Killed Donnie E and stabbed Sally E - was pushed into the sea during fight with Jessie E.
From this sequence table, it can be inferred that Jessie C must have entered the small room with guns and clothes in the blank ⑤, and found pieces of paper and necklaces (repeated objects). In the scene, Jessie D had a huge psychological struggle in the room, and finally chose to save the companion in an attempt to change the reincarnation (because the rescue failed, Jessie D made a heartless decision after Jessie F and her companion F boarded the ship. Killing them all, pinning their hopes on preventing Jessie G and her companion G from boarding the ship to change their fate), and Jessie C believed that a huge psychological struggle had also occurred in the room, but she finally chose to immediately choose her companion. D killed all of them to prevent Jessie E and her companion E from boarding the ship, but when Jessie C left the room, she found that all the remaining companions D on the ship had been killed by Jessie B, and Jessie B was also killed by Jessie D Pushed into the sea, what's worse is that Jessie E and her companion E have successfully boarded the cruise ship, so Jessie C can only choose to kill them all to prevent Jessie F and her companion F from boarding the ship to change their fate. Purpose.
From this we can draw the sequence of actions of Jessie C in blank ⑤: see the ball of paper (repeat thing 1) - see the necklace (repeat thing 2) - get the pistol and black clothes - leave the room - follow the "Go to Theater" message went to the theater - found Downey D, Sally D, Greg D shot dead - pushed the bodies of Downey D, Sally D, Greg D into the sea (there was only Jessie C on board at the time) And Jessie D, Jessie B has been pushed into the sea by Jessie C, while Jessie E has not yet boarded the ship, the scene where Jessie D pushes the body into the sea is not captured in the film with Jessie D as the first point of view , so the only one who can destroy the corpse is Jessie C) - Jessie E and her companion E
have already deduced the sequence of actions of Blank ⑤, and according to the figure, they have obtained the sequence of actions of Jessie E in Blank ②.
Action sequence of blank ②: see the ball of paper (repeat thing 1) - see the necklace (repeat thing 2) - get the pistol and black clothes - leave the room - follow the message "Go to the theater" to go to the theater - find Downey F, Sally F, Greg F have been shot - the bodies of Downey F, Sally F, Greg F are pushed into the sea - Jessie G and her companion G board the ship

Analysis 3: According to Jessie E's action sequence is the same as Jessie C's action sequence, therefore, Jessie E's action sequence in blank ③ is: trick Donnie G and Sally G to the theater - incarnate as a mask and cut throat Woman shoots Greg G in theater - meets Jessie F with gun - tricks Sally G and Donnie G into bathroom - kills Donnie G and stabs Sally G - in fight with Jessie G pushed into the sea.

Analysis 4: According to Jessie C's action sequence is the same as Jessie E's action sequence, therefore, Jessie C's action sequence in blank ④ is: pick up the key - find "go to the theater" with Greg C in the bathroom Scarlet - Seeing Victor C and being threatened and let go by Jessie B with a gun - Jessie C returned to the hall after Jessie B left - Fighting with Victor C and manslaughtering - - Pushed Victor C's body into the sea - Found the masked cutthroat woman (ie Jessie A) somewhere - fought and pushed the masked cutthroat woman (ie Jessie A) into the sea

Analysis five: see analysis two.

From this, the action sequence of Jessie C and Jessie E can be clearly sorted out:
Jessie C: Jessie C - Jessie C and her companion C board the ship - pick up the key - and Greg C found in the bathroom "Go to the theater" in blood - saw Victor C and was threatened and let go by Jessie B with a gun - Jessie C returned to the hall after Jessie B left - got into a fight with Victor C And killed it by mistake - pushed Victor C's body into the sea - found the masked cutthroat woman (ie Jessie A) somewhere - fought with the masked cutthroat woman (ie Jessie A) and ended up Pushing it into the sea
- Jessie D and her companion D boarding the ship - Accidentally dropping the key - Going to the bathroom and seeing the words "Go to the theater" in blood - Meeting and accidentally hurting Victor D - Seeing the ball of paper (repeat things 1) - saw necklace (repeat thing 2) - got pistol and black clothes - left room - went to theater following the message "Go to theater" - found Downey D, Sally D, Greg D shot Kill - Push the bodies of Downey D, Sally D, Greg D into the sea - Jessie E and her companion E board the ship - Trick Downey E and Sally E to the theater - Turn into a mask and cut throat Woman shoots Greg E in theater - meets Jessie D with gun - tricks Sally E and Donnie E into bathroom - kills Donnie E and stabs Sally E - fights with Jessie E pushed into the sea.

Jessie E: Jessie E and her companion E board the ship - Find the key - Find the words "Go to the theater" in blood in the bathroom with Greg E - See Victor E while being held by Jessie D Threatened and let go - Jessie E returned to the hall after Jessie D left - got into a fight with Victor E and killed him by mistake - pushed Victor E's body into the sea - found Meng somewhere Face Cutthroat Girl (i.e. Jessie C) - Fights with Masked Cutthroat Girl (i.e. Jessie C) and pushes her into the sea - Jessie F and her companion F board ship - Accidentally drop the key - Enter Saw "Go to the Theater" in blood in the bathroom - Met and accidentally injured Victor F - Saw paper ball (repeat thing 1) - saw necklace (repeat thing 2) - got pistol and black coat - left room - - Followed the message "Go to the theater" to go to the theater - Found that Downey F, Sally F, Greg F had been shot - Pushed the bodies of Downey F, Sally F, Greg F into the sea - Jie West G and his companion G board the ship -
Trick Donnie G and Sally G to the theater - Turn into a masked cutthroat girl and shoot Greg G in the theater - Meet Jessie F with a gun - Trick Sally G goes into the bathroom with Donny G - kills Donny G and stabs Sally G - and is pushed into the sea by Jessie G during a fight.


Based on the above evidence: Jessie C and Jessie E have exactly the same activity order as Jessie B and Jessie D, but Jessie C and Jessie D have different activity sequences. The key point of divergence is that It's about Jess's choices in the room.

Except for the time when the masked Jess was pushed into the sea, there were always three Jess present on the cruise ship at the same time, and the actions taken by all two adjacent Jess on board were different, not adjacent. The sequence of actions taken by the two Jess aboard is the same. Don't rashly set Jessie D's action sequence as a cycle, because in Jessie D's action sequence, there are Jessie B and Jessie F with the same action sequence as Jessie D. The sequence of actions with Jessie F is also set as reincarnation, which contradicts the reincarnation of Jessie D, that is, there are always two reincarnations in one reincarnation, (the reincarnation of Jessie D and the reincarnation of Jessie B in the DE period At the same time, Jessie D reincarnation and Jessie F reincarnation exist at the same time in FG period), so we can't simply look for the beginning and end of reincarnation based on microscopic reincarnation based on personal actions (Jessie's companions also have reincarnation phenomenon at the same time) , based on the particularity of the reincarnation of this film, we can only look for a complete part of the macro reincarnation by intercepting the time period without sticking to Jessie's alphabetical order. We already know the time period X-X1-X2-X3 There are three groups of people on the cruise ship: Jessie (companion) X, Jessie (companion) X1, and Jessie (companion) X2. Jessie (companion X) and Jessie (companion X2) have the same order of actions, so we intercept The two adjacent time periods X-X1 and X1-X2 are used as a complete part of the cycle (of course, if the two adjacent time periods X1-X2 and X2-X3 are intercepted, it does not matter, it can be concluded that any Intercepting two adjacent time periods as a complete part of reincarnation), in the two time periods X-X1 and X1-X2, the series of actions taken by the three Jess and the three groups of companions on the cruise ship belong to a broad sense A complete cycle of reincarnation.

    The theme of this story is the futile struggle of a soul who does not want to admit that she is dead. She wants to violate the laws of nature to restore her lost life, restore her lost love, and make up for the harm she once caused her son. And all of this is destined that she will fall into the purgatory created by her own heart, and the endless cycle will go on.
