Life is a test of passing death again and again

Hubert 2022-04-20 09:02:07

I think this movie makes a good use of what Campbell said about the hero's journey. The characters constantly break through their past demons, accept the test and transformation of fate, and finally get their own panacea to return. Those who tell bad stories don't quite understand that the stories are alive, the characters are unwilling to change, or whether they become better themselves. While the story is easy to understand, at least the theme of growth is used. Sometimes lighthearted and humorous, sometimes sincere and touching. The most important thing is that although the world without a mother is cruel, she will also reap her own love. After all, people have to learn to grow up, and not everything is so perfect. If you stay in a world with parents, you will miss out on true love. Whether to live in an ideal world or in a real world where miracles are possible determines whether the protagonist's fate is tragic or reversed, and the same is true in real life. As long as we are willing to change, there will be miracles. Each of us is constantly reborn from death again and again, and every minute and every second is becoming a new self and constantly transforming. Happy birthday, also the death day for the past self. The day of death is also the day of rebirth. I wish you another year of growth. Every time you die, the past is a new self that is reborn.

Happy Death Day 2U quotes

  • [Tree, Ryan and Carter sit at the cafeteria. Tree explains to them everything that happened in the first dimension]

    Ryan Phan: There were two of me?

    Tree Gelbman: [impatiently] Yes! That is how this whole thing happened.

    Carter Davis: [smiles] You know, this kind of reminds me of "Back to the Future II".

    Ryan Phan: Totally. Mm-hmm.

    Carter Davis: Right?

    [Tree stares at them cluelessly]

    Carter Davis: You know, with Marty McFly?

    Ryan Phan: Doc?

    Carter Davis: The DeLorean?

    Tree Gelbman: Sorry.

    Carter Davis: [stunned] Are you serious? You've never seen "Back to the Future"?

    Tree Gelbman: No, I... how do you... wait. Oh, my God. Does this mean that...

    [Tree looks around fearfully, expecting to see another Tree]

    Tree Gelbman: ...does this mean that there are two of me?

    Ryan Phan: I highly doubt it. It's almost impossible to create a holographic universe. You're probably stuck in a quantum cyclic dimension.

    [Tree stares at Ryan cluelessly]

    Tree Gelbman: [impatiently] There's only one of you here, because the other you got knocked into a parallel dimension somewhere in the multiverse.

    Tree Gelbman: [sarcastically] Okay, Ryan. Thanks for clearing that up. That was super helpful.

    Ryan Phan: You never heard the multiverse theory?

    Tree Gelbman: Do I look like someone who knows what a multiverse is?

    Ryan Phan: Okay, look.

    [Ryan takes a napkin]

    Ryan Phan: This is our universe. Okay? Now, look.

    [Ryan folds the napkin several times]

    Ryan Phan: In theory, the universe has six dimensions. Now, if what you're saying is true...

    [Ryan drives his pen through the napkin]

    Ryan Phan: ...then maybe you woke up on the same day...

    [Ryan unfolds the napkin]

    Ryan Phan: ...but not in the same dimension. That would explain the anomalies.

    Tree Gelbman: So, how different are we talking here?

    Ryan Phan: Well, it depends...

    [Tree notices that Danielle approaches them]

    Tree Gelbman: Oh, shit. I forgot our house meeting. Danielle, I'm sorry. I just...

    Danielle Bouseman: [approaches Carter] Hey, babe.

    Carter Davis: You doing all right?

    [Tree gapes in disbelief and jealousy: Danielle and Carter kiss for a long moment]

    Danielle Bouseman: [smiles at Ryan] Hi, Ry.

    Ryan Phan: [smiles shyly] Hey, Danielle.

    [Tree is even more puzzled: in the original dimension, Danielle is snobbish and obnoxious, and wouldn't even look at people like Carter and Ryan. Tree concludes it is one of the differences between the dimensions: in the current dimension, Danielle is nice and friendly]

  • [Tree meets her father at the restaurant, to celebrate her birthday]

    Tree Gelbman: Hey, Dad.

    David Gelbman: Hey.

    Tree Gelbman: [hugs her father] Sorry I'm late.

    David Gelbman: It's okay, sweetie.

    Tree Gelbman: [sits at the table] It's just been a weird day.

    David Gelbman: Everything okay?

    Tree Gelbman: Uh, yeah. It's just... stuff, you know.

    David Gelbman: How's school?

    Tree Gelbman: Um, it's fine, Dad.

    [a waitress approaches]

    Waitress: Are you ready to order?

    David Gelbman: Not yet. We're still waiting on one more.

    Tree Gelbman: [puzzled] One more? I...

    Waitress: Okay. I'll be right back.

    [Tree cannot believe her eyes: her beloved mother Julie, who died three years ago in the original dimension, stands at the door, alive. She smiles lovingly at Tree]

    Tree Gelbman: Mom... oh, mom!

    [overwhelmed with joy, Tree rushes to her mother and hugs her lovingly, so strongly that Julie nearly falls backward]

    Julie Gelbman: [chuckles] Whoa! Hi...

    Tree Gelbman: [her eyes are filled with tears of joy] You're here. Are you really here?

    Julie Gelbman: [puzzled] Well, of course I'm here. It's our day.

    [Tree hugs her mother again. Julie and David are puzzled at Tree's strange behavior]

    Julie Gelbman: Are you okay?

    Tree Gelbman: Yeah. Yeah. Oh, God, I'm fine. I'm just... it's good to see you.

    [they chuckle. Tree hugs her mother again]
