In fact, I think the happy ending is perfect. It can be regarded as a complete closed loop. The second girl in the past dies, and the second girl does not exist now. The second girl who called herself in the past also disappears. live a quiet life.
But the final turning point is a bit difficult to decipher, forcing the current female second to talk to her past self, saving herself, and then killing the female first's mother in the past time and space, and the current mother disappears with it. Especially in the basement where the first girl was tied up. It is said that in this time and space, the girl was caught and abused by the second girl when she was a child. Then the phone call at the beginning of the story could not be answered, and the ending of the second girl would not change in any way. , will still be killed by the stepmother.
So my atmospheric idea is: The second girl didn't die, she just escaped for a while, then returned to the dilapidated house, called her past self , saved the life of the second girl in the past, and then found an opportunity to kill the mother of the first girl, and then put the A grown-up girl kidnapped . (Let’s make up my mind, the first girl walked and found that her mother was gone, and then she turned around and saw her mother’s tombstone standing next to her father’s grave. When she collapsed, the second girl, who was still alive, rushed out of the cemetery. Come out, knock the girl out and take it away...)
But there is another bug here, that is, the phone can only be made from the past to the present, it is one-way , that is to say, the current or future female second cannot take the initiative to call the past female second.
The timelines of the past female second and the current female first are parallel, and the flow of time is the same. The past female second cannot directly go beyond the "now" to find the "future" self.
If the second girl in the past can think of avoiding death by talking to her "current" self, how can she be sure that the "current" herself is on the other end of the phone, not the "current" female first? Does she have the ability to predict?
It can only be the "current" female second to call "the past female second, but there are contradictions in the setting.
So the last moment when the second girl lay on the floor and opened her eyes, can it be interpreted as a flashback? The ending of the story is the fantasy of the second girl. Originally, the second girl had mental problems, and the hallucinations before death are not for nothing. possible. (Why can only the protagonist in mainstream movies have a fantasy before his death, why can't it be a badguy who enjoys this treatment?) Is this interpretation considered to be in the stratosphere?
There is another hidden clue as to why the girl at the grocery store in the past time and space was injured. It seems that there is no explanation. The stepmother was very emotional after seeing it, and she made up her mind to kill the second girl. Could it be that the leg is the second girl? Are you hurt? It was not explained clearly in the play. It is estimated that the probability is yes. The stepmother knew that the second daughter was violent. In order to prevent the second daughter from continuing to hurt others, she wanted to imprison or even kill her.
So, boiled down to one sentence, the second female is schizophrenic, and everything makes sense.
