It is indeed a brain-burning movie, which makes people think so worthy of the audience. First of all, we clarify the main line of the movie: JESS drove his son with his son, and was invited to the pier to go out to sea with his friend GREG. Unfortunately, he had a car accident on the road, and both mother and son died, but JESS, who became a ghost, did not leave, deceived the god of death, and still went alone. The pier went out to sea, and a dialogue that appeared in the film was fulfilled: In Greek mythology, Aeros, the god of deception, was punished by pushing a boulder up the mountain and watching it roll down every day, repeating every day. JESS is punished by the cycle of pain like Aeros.
This main line is relatively clear, and there is no doubt about it. The key question arises: what kind of cycle has JESS experienced? I thought it was a big cycle with two small loops. After boarding the ship, JESS saw the first group of people die, then saved the second group of people on board (failed), and after understanding everything, put the third group of people ( In addition to the third batch of self) killed, and then was shot into the sea by the third batch of self, returned home, and became the first batch of people again. This is seen from the first point of view of JESS in the order of the movies. At first glance, it seems reasonable to understand, but as long as you push it step by step, you can find a big mistake. The truth is by no means so simple.
To understand this movie, first of all figure out a question - how many JESS are there on the cruise ship? We answer by the most time: 3. They can be named No. 1: "JESS who just got on board", No. 2: "JESS who wants to save his friends", No. 3: "JESS who understands everything", and the three JESS keep changing in this order. Dynamically maintain the existence of 3 JESS, one goes down and one comes up. The most important point is: this No. 123 JESS only represents the shape, not fixed to 3 people. At a moment, No. 3 falls into the sea, No. 2 becomes No. 3, No. 1 becomes No. 2, and then a new No. 1 gets on board.
The second thing to understand is that this movie actually has two lines, a bright line and a dark line. In fact, this movie did not even shoot the complete plot of the two lines. What we see is only the whole of the bright line and part of the dark line. The three JESS existing on the ship are actually composed of two lines, so it is not a simple 1 -2-3-1 conversion, but A1-A2-A3 and B1-B2-B3 conversion at the same time. Don't vomit blood first, listen to my analysis first.
Let's first define these six JESS.
No. A1: The bright line, the one from the main point of view of the movie, got on the boat, and the companions were killed by the hooded man with the rifle.
No. A2: Bright line, the one from the main point of view of the movie. After his companion was killed, he pushed the hooded man into the sea on the deck. When he saw a new group of people, he knew that a hooded man would shoot his friend in the theater. He tried to save it but failed.
No. A3: Bright line, the main point of view of the movie. After the failure, he understood everything. He changed his clothes and put on a hood and used it to kill people with a rifle in the theater. He was finally pushed into the sea alive.
No. B1: The dark line, the man in the hood was knocked to death on the deck, the main point of view JESS saw the last one.
No. B2: The dark line, the last one seen from the main camera pushes the VIC onto the nail.
No. B3: The dark line, failed to shoot at the theater, then killed with a knife, and finally was knocked to death.
How did this happen? Let's start with the transformation of JESS No. 2 and No. 3 of the bright line. After SALLY died on the top of the ship, JESS No. A2 saw a sign on the top of the ship that a JESS hit a man wearing a hood with an iron rod and pushed him into the sea. At this time, a new group of people arrived, and the one who came up was JESS No. A1, which is the group whose movie developed our perspective according to the plot. Press pause to clarify one thing, the A2 on the top of the boat sees this and understands everything, so if people die, they will come back again. In order to go home to see their son, they have to kill all people. A3; B1 on the deck saw a new group of people come up, B1 became B2, and then why did they go is unknown, the film did not appear, but we can define: bystanders. Cancel the suspension and continue to go down. A3 comes to the theater fully armed. After shooting DYWNE and SALLY, he fails to chase down A1 and is pushed into the sea (we will see this A3 in the sea later). At this time, A1 saw a new group of people on the deck, and the JESS inside was B1. A1 knew that there was a shooter in the theater, and turned into A2 who wanted to save his companions, while B2, a bystander who had been in the dark, understood everything, Transformed into B3, who wanted to kill, and came to the theater in full armor. As in the film, he was almost headshot by A2, and he failed to shoot DYWNE and SALLY. (Where is B1 at this time? B1 is the JESS who encountered A2 with a gun in the restaurant , A2 is the savior at this time, she still doesn't understand that she wants to kill so people come back, so she didn't kill, just took the gun to find the man in the hood (B3) to fight, so B1 was scared away of course.) After the First World War in the theater , B3 failed to kill DYWNE and SALLY, only tricked them into the room, cut his throat to kill DYWNE and stabbed SALLY, SALLY escaped injured. A2 chased after seeing it and wanted to save SALLY. Of course, SALLY thought it was B3 and ran away, and finally caught up to the top of the boat. SALLY was seriously injured and died. At this time, B3 was also chasing and killing other people. When encountering B1 on the deck, he was unfortunately killed (note that he was beaten to death by an iron rod, rather than being pushed into the sea alive like A3). A2 sees, and then the scene at the beginning of the analysis happens. These are so loops that happen on board.
At this time, let's take a look at the A3 that fell into the sea alive. A3 returned home, and then, as seen in the main line of the movie, he killed himself at home with a hammer, and took his son to the pier to find GREG to go to sea. There was a car accident on the road, such as As told at the end of the film, he deceived the god of death, went to the dock alone, and became a new round of A1.
finished? Don't worry, I don't know if you have found another major problem. There will always be only one A3 falling into the sea to circulate, but there is still another B3 on board to be knocked to death. Where does B1 come from? Without the supply of B1, the dark line will be broken. So to complete the plot, there is a reasonable explanation: that is, the knocked B3 will wake up on the beach after falling into the sea. This explanation is not far-fetched, just like JESS after a car accident can go to the pier intact, if death wants to torture you like this, how can you still die? Also, depending on the time of occurrence, A3 wakes up to the dock and should convert to B1, and B3 becomes A1. why would you say so? First of all, if it is A3 to A1, B3 to B1, it is too late, you must know that JESS first sleeps in the yacht for several hours at sea, then encounters a storm, and is trapped in the sea, and finally the cruise ship appears, a complete cycle How long does it take to kill people on board? Second, when A2 was chasing the injured SALLY, he heard the voice of GREG on the radio, which proved that GREG was in the storm with A1, who was not on the cruise ship. over here.
Only now can the whole process be clarified, but the movie cannot be entangled in the plot as simple as that. Understanding the plot does not mean understanding the movie. What is the theme of "Terrorist Cruise"? The most intuitive is the punishment of the god of death on Aeros in Greek mythology. After Aeros died, he asked the god of death to give him three days to return to the world to bury his body, but he did not keep his promise and returned, and was punished by constantly pushing stones. The taxi driver who appeared at the end is actually the God of Death or the spokesperson of the God of Death. After the car accident, JESS took a taxi to the pier. The driver said that I would not turn off the meter and wait for you to come back, but the promised JESS did not keep his word, so he got himself back and forth. punishment. The understanding of this is of course that the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. You can say it is about commitment, you can also say it is fatalism, or according to the plot of the movie, it is about the painful struggle of a soul who does not want to admit death.
There is still a lot to discuss in this film, such as what is the meaning of the frequent and deliberate appearance of seabirds; what does the instant rotting of fruit represent; the JESS watch stuck at 8:17 can be understood as the time of a car accident (the note that appeared earlier on the It was written at 8:30 pier (see you at the pier); what is the meaning of "GOOD BYE PLEASE RETURN" that appeared twice on the notice board at the pier; most importantly, why is the title of the film "TRIANGLE"?
