In this regard, "Source Code" is very similar to "Inception", both of which are very interesting movies, and "Source Code" goes further in the divergence of the plot, mainly because of "Inception" "The setting of "is very rigorous, the film takes an hour to describe the principle of Inception and implantation, while the setting of "Source Code" is much simpler, only one sentence is used to explain the principle of operation of the source code , The deeper evolution is the audience's self-improvement in the process of watching the movie. To make an analogy, this is like Go. Among various board games, the rules of Go are the simplest, which is to enclose the pieces. But because of the simple rules, Go has the most variables and the most complicated tactics. Class game.
Not only "Inception", "Source Code" can also see the shadows of many other movies, such as "The Matrix", "Butterfly Effect", "Back to the Future", "Moonlight Treasure Box", etc., here One of the core concepts is traversal. In April of this year, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television imposed a ban on domestic film and television works that confuse the concept of history and no longer allow this kind of "confusing historical view" to occupy the amateur cultural life of the majority of the people. There is no acceptance threshold. Therefore, it is not too difficult for viewers who are not familiar with the Hollywood narrative mode of time-space repairing from the journey to penetrate into the core of the worldview of "Source Code". It is just that this journey is different from the previous physical journey. It is a kind of consciousness crossing. When the male protagonist sees another person's face in the mirror, the setting of this crossing also has the meaning of the traditional drama motif of identity. The joy and transparency of this movie will continue until the last time the protagonist Colt crosses and kisses Christina affectionately waiting for the moment when death comes... And this end of the plot in our habitual thinking is actually one of the ultimate settings of the film At the beginning, after closing the gate of time and space, the 8-minute source code world became a parallel world that could extend infinitely. This reversal of the plot is a bit off guard, so that many people will not understand that the last call Colt called Goodwin was actually something that happened in the source code world, and this scene will become the most important thing to understand the whole film. Of a plot.
In fact, the parallel world is not a new concept played by "Source Code". In the TV series "Edge of Crisis" by JJ Abrams, we have been constructing this parallel world 1:1 with the real world since the third season. The concept of, and there are very detailed settings for the walk and interaction between the two worlds. Therefore, "Source Code", except for the core concept, is actually playing the old routine, but it is better than the repackaging, fusion and innovation of the original elements. Duncan Jones has constructed a multi-prism narrative with strong plot logic and overall control. The mode is a comprehensive transcendence to the simple mode of traversing the plot. It was the second time I watched "Source Code" in the movie theater, and I was even more amazed at the rich detail layout system of the film. This is a film that can gain new cognition every time I watch it.
