The director and screenwriter are not important for this film
The most important thing is actually the producer: J.J. Abrams
In the three "Clover" series of films, the director, screenwriter and actors have always been changed. Only the producer JJ did not change. Therefore, he should have put forward the idea of even the "Clover" universe.
The American dramas "Lost", "Edge of Crisis", "Suspect Tracking" and the movies "Star Trek: Diablo Unbounded" and "Star Wars 8" are all his works. He is better at sci-fi and suspenseful content.
One of the settings of this work, the two earths in the parallel universe penetrate and collide with each other, which is actually the core setting in the American drama "Edge of Crisis", which can be regarded as fried rice... Solve many problems in movies)
JJ has a characteristic. He has a very big brain and he is good at digging pits, but the quality of filling pits is not uniform.
And "Clover's Paradox" should be said to be unsuccessful in filling the hole (it seems that I didn't want to fill the hole...)
Below I have sorted out my understanding of the plot
Welcome everyone to discuss
1. What are the bugs and devices in the Russian body?
Insects are raised by people in the space station, and appeared when the movie was cast around 06:46.
The more critical information is in the movie 34:05, after the particle accelerator collision accident, there was an explanation that the bugs were gone.
However, there is a mistake in the translation of the subtitles here, and the translation becomes "woman (woman) is missing".
But in fact, "the worm is gone"
Because the pronunciation of worm is similar to that of woman, the subtitle group is confused
The strange displacement of the bug and the device is actually the result of the collision of particles.
2. Why is the maintenance worker's hand sucked away? And who is controlling the hand that appears? Why would he know that the device is in the belly of the Russians?
When two spaces collide, there will be some weak points in space, and strange physical phenomena will appear at these points.
(Including the night the comet comes, it is also similar to this theory)
The repairman happens to be repairing on the fragile point of the space
But why does he want to suck the maintenance man's hand?
Because the maintenance man of Parallel Universe (hereinafter referred to as maintenance man B)
Repairman B, because of the particle accelerator, entered the four-dimensional space and was trapped in it
When the maintenance worker was repairing something, a space fragile point appeared. The maintenance worker B, who was trapped in the four-dimensional space, immediately reached out and wanted to return to the normal three-dimensional space.
However, according to the principle of conservation of mass, mass balance must be maintained between spaces, so the repairman’s hands are sucked away..
The hand that appeared out of thin air belonged to maintenance worker B
Maintenanceman B is in a four-dimensional space. When he looks at the three-dimensional space, he has a clear view and no secret, just like we are watching an ant crawling on the ground (three-dimensional sees two-dimensional), so he controlled his hand to open the door and let out the German. And writing to tell the protagonists of the three-dimensional space to install in the belly of the Russians
(The above sci-fi settings appear similarly in "Edge of Crisis")
In addition, I also have two questions
1. Why did the Russians suddenly change?
After the eyes of the Russians appeared, there was a scene in the mirror, as if they were talking to people, and then they went to shoot and kill people as if they were controlled. What is the reason?
Could it be that someone from the parallel universe entered the four-dimensional space to control him? That's a bit too powerful...
2. Where did the monster come from?
Maybe JJ didn't want to explain...
Finally, let’s talk about a few things that I think the film is not enough.
A. Unclear explanation of cause and effect
This is actually reflected in the first "The Clover Archives", but in the first one, concealing the cause and effect is a way to reflect the sense of reality, and other websites and videos are also given to explain , but this one Not in the movie
B. Inadequate emotional maturation
The sacrifice of the black captain and the love of the heroine for her family are all taken in one stroke, and the motivation is very weak.
C. The story on the earth feels more redundant
Switched to the earth perspective many times, the plot and the main story are somewhat related, and it is not very interesting. The main function is the following picture...
Generally speaking, it is too ambitious but not capable
There is too little explanation in the film, and a lot of content is outside the film
But this may also be a deliberate act of JJ, letting the audience study their brains, and let them find fun.
(But personally feel that this is not a good way!)
