I just finished reading "Source Code" and struggled with the ending for a long time. Now I just give an explanation for the ending, I hope it will be helpful for everyone to understand the film. First, briefly describe the storyline of the film: A captain named Colt Steven, one day when he woke up, found himself on a train to Chicago, and his main purpose on the train was to Find out who put the bomb on the train. This is the process, but it is repeatedly "played" (because this is the Source Code world). The Source Code world was created by a doctor. According to a person's death, the electromagnetic field of the brain is still charged, and it is not completely dead, and it can still operate, but it only lasts for a short period of 8 minutes. In other words, when Colt Steven returned to the train that had already exploded (transporting him to the past through an instrument), he had only 8 minutes to use. Within 8 minutes, whether he finds the murderer or not, he will die (but in the end he broke the conclusion). You may be wondering, did Colt Steven’s body and brain waves return to the train or just his brain waves were attached to someone on the train? The answer is that his brain waves are attached to the brain of teacher Sean Fintres on the train. Sean Fentress was a passenger on the train where the explosion occurred and had a connection with Christine (Sean Fentress and Christine both died in the explosion). Why did Colt Steven look confused at the beginning of the film? The people in the car know him, but he feels strange to everything? Because at that time "Colt Steven" was not really himself, but a combination of Colt Steven's brain waves and Sean Fintres' body (temporarily called Colt Sean) . The real Colt Steven was actually in the laboratory and survived by instruments. Because he had only one brain and half of his body left in a flight mission, and was in a coma all the time, all conversations were his brain waves with the female officer Goodwin. With the help of female officer Goodwin, Colt Steven returned to the train time and time again to find the murderer, and fell in love with Christine. When entering the train for the penultimate time, "Combination" Colt Sean found the murderer of the bomb-Derek Frost, but both he and Christine were killed by the murderer, and then Cole Te Steven returned to reality, and with everyone's efforts, he caught the murderer who was about to commit the second crime, that is, Derek Frost on the train. There may be questions, 1: The real world and Source What does the Code world have to do? 2: Will what happens in the Source Code world affect the real world? 3: What does the ending mean? 1: The real world and the Source Code world are two completely parallel worlds. Source Code is not a journey of time and space, but about the redistribution of time, allowing us to enter a parallel reality, and there will be no future after 8 minutes 2: Since reality and Source Code is parallel, so there is no mutual involvement. It is like two parallel lines that can never intersect, but the information seen in Source Code can be used in the real world and is not distorted. For example, you can see the license plate number of the murderer in Source Code and tell the real world that the murderer was finally caught. 3: The ending can be said to be the most difficult part of the movie, or it can be said to be very meaningful. Many people say it is superfluous, but it is not. Everyone must remember that Colt Steven told the female officer Goodwin after completing the mission that he would enter the Source Code again to save Christine, and asked to end the coma in the real world in 8 minutes. The life of Colt Steven. The female officer Goodwin does not believe that he can change everything about Source Code, because she thinks that it will be meaningless after 8 minutes (you must remember that Goodwin at this time is the Goodwin of the real world). But out of sympathy for Colt Steven, she agreed to his request and sent him to Source Code. Remember, it was at Source Code at this time. This was the last time Colt Steven entered the Source Code. The combination of Colt Shaun punished the terrorist Derek Frost and kissed it just in the 8th minute. Christine, and at this time, the real-world female officer Goodwin also just ended the life of Colt Steven. But a miracle happened. The Colt Sean in Source Code was not dead. Why? First of all, the movie explains that the two worlds are parallel, so the real-world female officer Goodwin turns off the instrument switch and causes the death of Colt Steven does not affect the combination of Colt Sean in the Source Code. , On the contrary, to a certain extent, it just contributed to the combination of Colt Sean in Source Code that can not die; secondly, perhaps this is the power of love (which is often mentioned in movies). It's easy to explain next, because everything that happens next to the scene is carried out in the Source Code, the reason why some people can't understand the ending may be because the following things are still considered to be in the real world. Combination Colt Shaun sent a text message to the female officer Goodwin on the train (at this time the terrorist was grilled on the train and called the police). This text message is the key. Actually, the female officer Goodwin who read the text messages was not the real-world female officer Goodwin who just appeared in the movie, but the officer Goodwin in Source Code. She didn’t know who sent her the text messages. When she faced the doctor and saw that the murderer’s name on the mobile phone text message was the same as others said, she didn’t know what was going on. She saw that Colt Steven, who was alive in the instrument box, was also the real Colt Steven in the Source Code, not the Colt Steven who died in the real world. Everything happened in the Source Code world parallel to the real world, and the combination of Colt Sean and Christine also lived a happy and beautiful life. Seeing this, maybe everyone thinks of the spinning top in "Inception", maybe the director is also telling us which one is the real world and which one is the Source Code world ----- ------------------Recommended movie "The Man without a Surname"
