The main story is that the heroine made an irreparable mistake and redeemed herself after being released from prison; such a simple story, if "another earth" is removed, there is no problem at all, then the "another earth" in this film is not a problem. What is the purpose?
From both ends of the story, you can see the clues. What was the reason for the protagonist's mistake in the first place? The answer is to hear the radio say that a new star has been discovered, and to encourage the audience to watch it, so far, the protagonist does not look at the road while driving; it is by no means the "bohemian" that the protagonist himself said; secondly, what is the cause of the tragedy at the end? The answer is that the protagonist failed in redemption, and chose to let the victim escape the reality of this earth by giving up the ticket, not to mention the logical error of the second victim in the second earth, if there is no such thing as "another earth", men and women It may not be that the protagonists finally come together.
In the middle of the process, the redemption of the protagonist and the change of the victim are gratifying and touching; especially the part of the protagonist's storytelling, it can be said to be radiant!
The brutal contrast at the ends and the euphoria in the middle gives the feeling of being a roller coaster; so what's behind this?
There is a word called "focus on yourself" or "live in the moment". As a person on earth, we are always exploring outwards and pay little attention to ourselves, so that disasters are reborn and the environment is deteriorating day by day. In life, we seldom live in the present, and seldom really pay attention to who we are in the moment. The male protagonist who pays attention to his anger ends up going to another earth; there are so many kinds of things, too much to explore and pay attention to the outside world, while ignoring the current self.
When the heroine redeemed herself, she paid attention to her cowardice and what she wanted to do for the hero. The hero was awakened from the habit of forgetting herself, and paid attention to her image and her inner feelings. , pay attention to his love for the heroine should not be entangled by a deceased relative's clothes.
And then with any loss of self-focus, you also lose yourself; the heroine's car accident, the unimaginable pain of the hero going to another earth.
The gaze of the two heroines at the end of the film also strongly shows this point. The relaxation and escape at the last moment have created the tragedy at both ends. Look at yourself on another earth, and see the result of losing focus on yourself from the outside of yourself. , the sense of sadness is self-evident.
Another earth, only in your heart, there is a real you, pay attention to her, you will live happily, happily, happily, ignore her, you will lose all happiness, including yourself!
