In dreams, we often fail to realize that we are dreaming, because dreams have both day-to-day thinking and reality that we dare not face, as well as illusions that we have not been aware of. The pain of reality. Dreams and nightmares are sometimes only for a moment. "I want to wake up from a dream, I have to figure out when I fell asleep before I can jump out of the dream. This is the only way." Not a sentence from this film, but I think it fits the context of the whole film. .
Cesar, the protagonist of the film, is handsome and rich, and his girlfriend is also very frequent. At his birthday party, his friend brought his beloved female companion Sophia to attend. Cesar is also interested in Sofia, so the entanglement of his previous girlfriend is an excuse to approach Sofia. He was tempted, "How can I explain it to you? You don't understand, even I don't understand it myself. She made coffee and I looked around, and soon she had a wonderful feeling that made me Tao Taoran. What kind of feeling? I fell in love with her, how old-fashioned you are."
However, the short-term love did not withstand the temptation of the ex-girlfriend. After taking drugs, the ex-girlfriend rushed the car out of the guardrail of Panshan Road frantically. He was disfigured in this accident. From the beginning of the dialogue with friends, it can be seen that appearance is actually the capital he is proud of. For Cesar, disfigurement means destroying self-confidence, destroying love, and destroying life. The disfigured Cesar knew that he could not get love, and Sophia also obviously showed resistance to Cesar and stayed with his friend. Cesar also said a key sentence: It is impossible to rain in a dream. So this cruel reality for Cesar is real.
The above is the reality part, which is the source of consciousness of Cesar's dreams and nightmares.
Regarding the dreams, there are actually a lot of hints in the movie.
At the beginning, Cesar woke up from a dream. While driving, he noticed the white-faced performance artist on the street. This person is Sophia. In a conversation with a friend, the friend said: Sooner or later you will meet the person in your dreams. Cesar: I have no one in my dreams. All these indicate that Cesar hopes to meet Sophia soon in his dream, which is the beginning of his dream.
In reality, a friend and Sophia came together, and he woke up while sleeping on the street, only to find that Sophia, who was clearly with his friend, appeared in front of him and was affectionate with him. He asked his friend where he went, and Sophia said he went with you last night. In fact, my friend later chased Sophia to Cesar and witnessed them kiss. What Sophia said is not the truth, so here is already divorced from reality, and it is also the dividing point between dream and reality.
Cesar walked through the boulevard with Sophia in his dream, but he felt strange. This dream scene may have been repeated many times, giving him a familiar and unreality.
The picture of the two lying intimately together comes from a photo he once saw on the wall of Sophia’s room. In the photo, Sophia and a man are lying together in this position, which shows that this is also a dreamland, which is the state of his longing for falling in love with Sophia. .
Now that the dream comes true, why not continue this beautiful dream? Because Sophia does not belong to himself and the fact that he has been disfigured, these subconscious minds are still rooted in his mind. When dreams depart from reality, pain is the last true feeling. The two conflicts and contradictions, so Sophia in the dream suddenly becomes an ex-girlfriend, and her dreams turn into nightmares, making Cesar self-doubt.
His subconsciousness caused the people around him in his dreams to keep asking him: What is happiness? Obviously, dreams can't make him happy, he can't forget the pain, his consciousness is awakened, and he has a virtual psychologist to help him find the truth. The psychiatrist may also be part of his self-consciousness. He did not have a complete and happy family when he was alive. So the psychiatrist in the dream said that there was a man who suddenly had a wife and children.
Finally, Cesar finally found the medium of dreams and reality, a hospital interspersed many times in dreams. It turned out that after being disfigured, Cesar could not get Sophia's love and could not bear the ridicule of the people around him, so he committed suicide. Before committing suicide, I signed a contract to freeze the body. In the process of freezing the human body, the consciousness is alive through the creation of dreams. Realistic dreams make people immersed in the scene, so real that you forget to sign this contract, and live exactly what you want in the dream.
Cesar, who had found the truth, wanted to get rid of this dream. The hospital staff led him to say that when he wakes up by jumping downstairs, he will be in the future world. Science can help him to resurrect and even restore his original appearance. However, as the hospital said, everyone in the dream is fictional and César Therefore, the resurrection or even the restoration of appearance is probably just Cesar’s subjective good wishes. The psychologist has been around to persuade him to lie to you, and there is also Cesar’s inner questioning. While cherishing hope and worrying at the same time.
So is there such a possibility that Cesar will not wake up in real reality after jumping, but will still wake up in a dream like the opening scene of the movie, "open your eyes" begins to enter an infinite loop. If it really has passed a hundred years, then he may have reincarnated this plausible dream thousands of times during the long period of freezing, this is the real nightmare.
