7.5/10 Too lazy to afford the title

Leanna 2022-04-23 07:03:19

7.5/10 extends from the reincarnation setting of the first part to the parallel universe of the second part, in fact, it has completely turned from a horror film to a science fiction film. Among them, family affection (whether the heroine should accept her mother and the current time and space), love (whether the heroine should return to her own time and space to be with her original boyfriend), friendship (whether the heroine should stay in this time and space to accept it) The discussion of the roommate who had no malice towards her and was entangled by scumbags became a huge highlight of the film. The clues are clear, the characters are portrayed with bright spots, and the characters are full. As a sci-fi fan, I really like this setting. But as a sci-fi film, there are also many logical problems. For example, why did the accident in the laboratory make the heroine return to the original time point. How on earth could this slow-moving machine generate a cycle? How exactly did the two Ryans end up in the same time and space? At the same time, the plot is not enough, and the clues are too simple. The film basically reached its climax halfway through, and it would have ended if the dean of education hadn't unplugged the machine even though he appeared. However, the appearance of this dean forces the feeling of the story to continue, so the beginning and end of the film are very rigid. The second half seems to be optional (because the heroine figured out that she was going to leave at the beginning, in fact, it didn't hurt to let her go) Format it.

Happy Death Day 2U quotes

  • [Tree goes to meet her parents. Before she approaches their table, she takes a long look at them, knowing it is the last time she is going to see her beloved mother alive]

    David Gelbman: [stands] There's the other birthday girl. Hi, sweetie.

    Tree Gelbman: [hugs her father] Hey, Dad. Um, do you mind if I talk to Mom alone for a minute? Just some girl talk.

    David Gelbman: Oh. Well, sure. I-I can go run some work calls.

    [Tree's father takes his cellphone and walks away]

    Tree Gelbman: Okay, thanks.

    [Tree sits near her mother]

    Julie Gelbman: Is everything okay?

    Tree Gelbman: [chuckles] Yeah. It's fine. Everything's fine.

    [pause]

    Tree Gelbman: Oh, shit, how do I do this?

    Julie Gelbman: [worried] Do what, sweetie? What's wrong?

    Tree Gelbman: Mom...

    [Tree bends forward and holds her mother's hands]

    Tree Gelbman: [in trembling voice] I really want you to know how much I love you.

    Julie Gelbman: [chuckles] Aw. I love you, too, sweetie.

    Tree Gelbman: No, Mom, I'm serious.

    [Tree fumbles for words]

    Tree Gelbman: You know, people say "I love you" all the time, but... it's not until you can't say it to that person's face anymore that you really realize how much you mean it.

    [Julie nods]

    Tree Gelbman: You are so beautiful and so amazing...

    [Tree is choked by tears]

    Tree Gelbman: [sniffles] ... and I just hope I can become half of the woman that you are one day.

    Julie Gelbman: [laughs] Are you kidding? I'm the woman I am because I had you. You know, I never really told anyone this before, but when I was pregnant with you, I was scared shitless.

    [they both laugh]

    Tree Gelbman: [sniffles] No...

    Julie Gelbman: But then, the moment I held you, something inside of me changed instantly. The best kind of love does that. It changes you. It makes you a better person.

    David Gelbman: [tearfully] Oh, God, I'm so stupid. I really thought I could have it all, but I can't.

    Julie Gelbman: [shakes her head] Oh, honey, nobody can. But guess what. That's okay. You'll get what you need.

    Tree Gelbman: [tearfully] I hope so.

    Julie Gelbman: Aw. Come here.

    [they hug]

    Tree Gelbman: Am I crushing you?

    [they both laugh]

    Julie Gelbman: Nope. You're always gonna be my little girl.

    [Tree's father appears, carrying a birthday cake with a single candle]

    David Gelbman: [sings] Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, Tree and Mom.

    [Tree's father places the cake on the table. Tree looks intently at her mother, cherishing their last moments together, while her tears flow]

    Julie Gelbman: Make a wish.

    [Tree nods. She smiles and closes her eyes for a monent. Then she and her mother blow the candle together. They smiled lovingly at each other. Shortly afterwards, Tree returns to the lab]

  • [Tree and her friends gather at the lab. Sissy is ready for closing the time-loop and sending Tree back to the original dimension]

    Ryan Phan: You ready?

    [Tree looks at Carter, then nods. Ryan walks toward the computer]

    Tree Gelbman: Wait.

    [Ryan stops. Tree faces everyone]

    Tree Gelbman: I know this is probably pretty confusing. I mean, you guys have only known me for a couple hours...

    [Samar and Dre smile at each other]

    Tree Gelbman: ...but I've known you for weeks. You've all worked really, really hard to try to send me home. So thank you.

    Samar Ghosh: [jokingly] Well, jury's still out on whether you're totally nuts, but, uh...

    [Samar chuckles. Dre gives him a chiding look]

    Samar Ghosh: ...glad we could help.

    [Dre slaps Samar slightly in the stomach]

    Tree Gelbman: Okay, Ryan, light her up.

    [Ryan sits at the computer desk and turns Sissy on. While the machine warms up, Carter turns to Tree]

    Carter Davis: S-So, in this other dimension, do we... do we know each other?

    Tree Gelbman: You could say that.

    [Tree and Carter smile at each other]

    Ryan Phan: 17 seconds. 16, 15, 14...

    [suddenly, Dean Bronson storms in, accompanied by two burly security guards. Tree is shocked, since he was not supposed to do this but a day after]

    Dean Roger Bronson: [to Ryan] What did I tell you about turning that thing on?

    Samar Ghosh: Uh-oh...

    Tree Gelbman: [puzzled] Wait. This isn't supposed to happen yet. You're not supposed to come until tomorrow.

    Dean Roger Bronson: [to Ryan] Turn that thing off now.

    Tree Gelbman: No, don't!

    [Bronson approaches Sissy. Tree and her friends rush to stop him, but too late. He unplugs the machine]

    Tree Gelbman: No, wait, please. You can't do this.

    Dean Roger Bronson: And who are you?

    Tree Gelbman: I am a student here.

    Dean Roger Bronson: Oh, well, keep this little attitude up, and we'll change that.

    [Bronson turns to the security guards]

    Dean Roger Bronson: Get that thing out of here.

    Tree Gelbman: No, please d-don't.

    [the guards ignore Tree and start moving Sissy out of the room]

    Samar Ghosh: Hey, watch it, beefcake!

    Andrea 'Dre' Morgan: Well, don't manhandle her. Well, where are you taking her?

    Dean Roger Bronson: My office, where it will remain under lock and key.

    [Bronson and the guards leave with Sissy]
