After two years, I finally waited for the sequel to "Happy Death Day", which can be considered to complete the "pit" left by the previous one, which is gratifying.
American movie "Happy Death Day 2"
Genre: Horror
Main Cast: Jessica Rothe
Story overview: How Tree, who returned to the "infinite loop death trap", escaped and saved himself
Release Date: February 13, 2019 in the United States
Speaking of the sequel, many viewers waved their hands and shook their heads. Yes, the sequel is considered by most people to be synonymous with "money-making" and "gaining money". Purely "looking at the money", after playing this trick once or twice, the audience will not be fooled again, and it is the movie itself (word of mouth/box office/revenue) that will suffer in the end.
Today's review of "Happy Death Day" is also a sequel, but this sequel is not the sequel to the other. The degree of intention/innovative thinking/overall conception is not the slightest difference from the previous work. In terms of quality, it can be said that it is in the same line.

The opening scene finds Ryan dozing off in the car, eh? Has the protagonist changed? Not too possible? Can't say that? The author says to himself...
Then, at 7 and a half minutes, Ryan was slaughtered and the first "loop" came
Then, the second "cycle" was started. Ryan told his good friend Carter and Tree who was there. Everyone began to design and pursue the masked killer who tried to kill Ryan. With the efforts of the team, the killer was captured, but the To everyone's surprise, the "suspect" looked exactly like Ryan. what's the situation? It turned out that this "alien" Ryan tried to end the "loop" effect but fell into another parallel space unexpectedly. The reason why he wanted to kill the other self was to relieve the "butterfly effect". Unfortunately, it backfired. Ryan, who was in this space, tried to understand the matter in his own way, and insisted on starting the instrument. As a result, Tree was recruited again.
After reading the first 25 minutes of content, the author obviously felt that I was being played by the director. After going around in such a circle, I still returned to the first routine, and my mind was very active. This kind of processing method not only explains the principle of "circulation", but also seamlessly connects the key content of the first part. It kills two birds with one stone, which is a bit interesting.
Continuing to watch the film, in order to find a "way to end the cycle", the heroine began to "seek death". The emperor paid off. After a series of failures, the tech nerds finally found the formula to end the cycle. But at this time, the heroine Tree has a new confusion, which is to make a choice between "family affection, love", "past and future", where to go? The director designed these clips/thinking, which effectively deepened the connotation of this work and made the work break away from the limitations of such films.
To add: In the author's opinion, this work has one and only one difference from the previous work. That's what "death" is for.
The first is the heroine (killed infinitely) in order to find the murderer;
This one is about the heroine (who committed suicide repeatedly) in order to save the person she loves.
The inner meaning of the two, the judgment is made
In the end, the heroine killed the killer (the doctor who had an extramarital affair), and then started the device and returned to the present, happy ending.
The above is the plot of the film . On the whole, it can be entertaining, creative and ideological.
