It is worth analyzing the underlying metaphors in depth: the most obvious is that the ppt form of the whole film is in line with the premise that time travel is possible: the specious present is divided into discontinuous fragments, so that people can jump out of the flow of time. But the continuity of human consciousness Sexuality must rest on the duration of an intention rather than on the continuity of the perception of time. And the biggest twist in the film is that the intention goes from being a woman (and the peacetime love and hope often symbolized by a woman) to her own death (a woman's face is only an accompanying accompaniment to her own death) marked only). The reason why the male protagonist did not either die or go crazy (lose himself) like the previous subjects was because only he witnessed his own death: from this, a very interesting point of view can be derived, consciousness (mainly self-consciousness) ) comes from the perception of one's own death. If you don't know death, how can you know life? But in this case, death is always unavoidable, because we as consciousness have already seen our own death (the ultimate fatalistic conclusion: because prophecy can predict what does not yet exist, prophecy can predict itself. As Oedipus The tragedy of Oedipus is the necessary condition for the emergence of Oedipus (the Oedipus complex is the basis for the formation of consciousness).
But when we look back and give the image of death as the connotation to the image of the woman (correct our initial mistake read it as love and hope), we will find that these two connotations (death and hope) are compatible in this same image of woman (the symbol is essentially ambivalence), thus expressing the two The inner sameness of connotation itself. And what this image wants to express is that no matter where I go, death and hope are forever. We base everything on these two, but both are inhuman, indifferent to our existence. As the ego relates to the indifferent id.
