Before watching the trailer: "The home in the dream, the figure in the memory" is just like the style of this movie. This movie is not scary, but sentimental.
There are various understandings about the plot
The following is my understanding of the thinking of science students, yes it is a science student,
Based on atheism and modern science...
Okay, don’t talk nonsense, please see~:
(The following are all spoilers, pay attention to "all spoilers"!)
(Suitable for reading after watching the movie~)
Relevant understanding of the male protagonist resigning and returning home in the first act:
1. The male protagonist resigned many years ago in order to go home with his family. But a tragedy happened: after arriving home, the male protagonist found out that the 2β killer had killed the male protagonist’s wife and children. The male protagonist and the assassin fought, and the gun was in the hands of his wife. The wife wanted to shoot the killer with one last effort, but he had been shot, unfortunately. Hit the male protagonist in the head, the male protagonist became insane, and the 2β killer escaped...
2. The male protagonist with amnesia went to a mental hospital and spent some time there. During this period, he had been fantasizing that the ward was his original office, and he also compiled a new name for himself according to his patient code. When people see the male protagonist like this, they all think that the male protagonist was mentally ill and killed his wife and children. They also suspected that the wife wanted to resist and wounded the male protagonist with a gun. However, due to insufficient evidence, the male protagonist was eventually released from the mental hospital.
(Supplement: Because the mental hospital and the police believe that the male protagonist is mentally ill, they sent the male protagonist to a mental hospital instead of prison)
3. After the male lead was discharged from the hospital, he returned to his old house. He was the only one left at home. However, because the mentally disturbed male lead loved his family too much, he perfectly imagined that he was discharged from the hospital as a resignation many years ago, and rely on him. In his own memory, he rewrote history: the male lead resigned to be with his family. When he returned home, there was no killer. Instead, he saw his wife talking on the phone nervously, and the male lead broke this with a snowball. Uneasy, warm reunion with his wife and children.
(Supplement: I am a science student very much believes in science... So I think that the wife and children in the film are all male protagonists after mental disorders, based on memory and the surrounding environment, and the hallucinations are not ghosts. Regarding the wife's involvement in the future The plot, I also wrote the relevant understanding.)
In the second act, the neighbor’s woman’s hesitation stops, and the neighbor’s man treats each other coldly.
It turned out that the killer was hired by a neighbor man. He wanted the killer to kill another family member, but he was mistaken by the 2β killer, and the tragedy happened to the male protagonist. The female neighbor has a different attitude towards the male protagonist. She is tolerant and sympathetic to the male protagonist, and has given soup to the male protagonist. His daughter also sent flowers to express condolences on the anniversary of the case. But the neighbor man has always wanted to conceal his crimes, so in his eyes, the male lead is dangerous, because once the male lead recovers his memory, it will threaten him.
(Supplement: The neighbor man and the 2β killer also had fear and resentment due to this tragedy. The killer knew he had killed the wrong person, and the neighbor man knew the killer he hired. Both of them knew that they were guilty, but they thought each other had caused them. threat.)
Act III The male protagonist discovers that there is danger in the house
1. At this time, the male protagonist has a sense of crisis, in fact, because the true memory of the male protagonist is being awakened. In his hallucinations, a new role was created, a murderer. He felt uneasy, and because of the real tragedy that happened in this house, he fantasized about another murder: the assassin killed the family who lived here before.
2. So he wanted to find out the truth about the house, but he didn't go well. He asked the neighbors and the police for help, but no one seemed to be willing to help him. This is because although he does not remember the neighbor and the policeman, the neighbor and the policeman still remember him who was insane. When he said the name he made up, the neighbor knew that he was still dreaming. The police treated him with strange eyes and disdain, because the police thought he had amnesia.
In the fourth act, the male protagonist sees himself under surveillance in the mental hospital
1. The male protagonist remembered his real name, but due to the vague memory of his wife and children, he subconsciously suspected that he was the murderer. So what manifests in the illusion is that his real name is the name of the killer, and the killer is a mental illness. But no matter who the murderer is, the male protagonist's heart is unwilling to accept the fact that his wife and children died, and he does not want to admit that he was sent to a mental hospital, so he imagined that he found it in the film left by a group of young people in the basement. More information, including the mental hospital where the killer was located.
2. The male lead came to the mental hospital to look for the murderer according to his name, but the male lead found that the murderer was no longer in the mental hospital, of course, because the "murderer" was himself, and he had been discharged.
3. Finally, he saw a surveillance video about the "murderer", but he discovered that the person in the picture was himself. This made him completely recall his experience in a mental hospital. But he still doesn't want to believe the truth, because he hopes that his wife and children are still alive.
Act 5: The neighbour's woman's dissuasion and the neighbor's man's chase
1. The neighbor girl has been helping the male lead. This time, she came to the male lead’s house and told the male lead the truth: the wife was not killed by him, but another person. The injury on his head was because the wife wanted to protect He wounded him by mistake when the killer was shot, and he had amnesia due to injuries and cruel reality.
2. What can make the neighbor woman and the male protagonist never expect is that the neighbor man and the 2β killer are also in the house at this time. At this time, the neighbor man knows that the protagonist already knows the truth, and may follow the killer to find him and treat him. I am very threatening. And his wife and neighbours are also threats. So the killer and the neighbor man wanted to burn them together with the house.
3. Then, the neighbor man and the killer knocked out the man and the neighbor woman, and then the neighbor man shot the killer again, and finally set the house on fire. But the illusion of the man’s wife actually appeared in the sight of the neighbor man. That’s because the neighbor man was reckless, but he also felt scared. He killed an innocent person. Based on his memory and environment, he Had a hallucination similar to that of the male protagonist, but not as serious as the male protagonist.
(Supplement: The scene of the neighbor man chasing and killing the male protagonist’s wife is illusory. If you look closely, you will find that although there is a scene where the male protagonist’s wife rang the bell while escaping, the next scene is that the neighbor man opened twice. The gun, but there is no one at the place, the bell is ringing in Lingling, because after the neighbor man set the fire, the air current blew the bell)
4. An environment that is sufficient for the neighbour male to have hallucinations, and also allows the male protagonist to have hallucinations. But this illusion is very important. She woke up the hero, who stunned the neighbor man, carried the neighbor woman, and escaped from the surrounding wall of fire.
Act 6 The male protagonist bids farewell to his wife and children
1. This is the scene that touched me the most: after the male protagonist rescued the neighbor's girl, he rushed into the fire room and shouted "Libby!". He once had dinner with her in the hallucinations. He once faced the "weird" of the house with her in the hallucinations. He even tried to tell her the truth of the case... and now, while his hallucinations are still there, While he still has a chance to enter, he will say goodbye to Libby: "I don't wanna lose you" and "I love you".
2. A fierce stream of fire washed away the hero's hallucinations, and realized that the fire was serious, he had to escape quickly. The male lead went under the stairs and found out the old notebook full of photos, and then escaped. When the firefighter asked him if there was anyone in there, he said, "No."
The ending scene of the male protagonist seeing his novel on the street
The neatly dressed male protagonist walked down the street, through the glass window, he saw the novel
My understanding:
I think the truth that this movie wants to tell is: Sometimes people are willing to evade reality, and people tend to be like male protagonists. According to reality, they make up an illusion to deceive themselves, and they can make the reality and the illusion justify themselves, and they deeply believe it.
But I feel that this movie shows this phenomenon of "escape from reality and self-deception" more truly. Although people often say don't escape and face it bravely, but perhaps the most realistic thing is not necessarily the best choice. Just like the male protagonist in the film, although he finally recovered his memory and lived a so-called normal life, his expression was not glorious and he lost his smile when he was with libby. People on the street come and go, but no one can understand the hero.
The last sentence I want to say here is: in the real energy and false positive energy (such as: do not escape), I will not hesitate to choose the real energy, but facing the truth and staying in the illusion, I really don’t know what to do how to choose.
