Coin has fallen
I think the open ending is often about what will happen in the future, the right to speak is transferred to the audience's imagination, the ending is inherently diverse, the moment the coin is thrown up because the collapse of observation has not formed, the ending is open.
But for a certain fact itself, uniqueness and exclusivity (when no one looks at the moon, the moon only hangs in the sky with a certain probability; and when someone looks at it, the original uncertainty of the moon is seen by people. A sudden change into reality. This is an explanation of decoherence), which makes me feel that it is difficult for the screenwriter to write something truly open, because if the two sides of chaos are aggregated, the two sides will not conflict in the time dimension. Find it very difficult. Now that the coin has fallen, every moment before the coin falls, it can only move towards this certain result, and cannot be ambiguous.
So I watched the movie several times, even frame by frame, trying to find the most complete and self-consistent explanation. Now I will say that what comes out is the real Sophie, the real Sophie, and the real Ethan. Both know how to love each other better in this experience.
Worldview mechanism
List some basic mechanism settings of this surreal world:
Room super powers :
Trapped characters (we can see from the plot that the fake Sophie and the fake Ethan were unable to leave the guest room until the real Sophie and his wife collapsed completely for the first time, and in the end, the real Ethan was also trapped in the guest room. Went out all night)
The character’s mind can control the super powers of the guest room (the fake Sophie said "I want to go, you can't get out", and "the closer we get to leave here, the harder it is for you to move" illustrates the law of super powers in the guest room)
Exclusive choice of role entry (the real heroine can coexist with the fake hero when entering the guest room, but the fake heroine cannot appear at this time, and the real hero cannot open the door to enter. Although the true hero can see through the window, he opens the door and smashes the door Neither is of any use; real couples and fake couples cannot coexist in the guest room, but in the main room, but in the guest room, if the real couple opens the door together to enter, the fake couple will disappear)
Village Rules of the Resort:
The resort’s password is 2424. My understanding is that the composition of the resort’s personnel has always been 2 or 4. If it is not for a melee between two couples (4 people), or for a couple (2 people) to reflect on and improve themselves. relation. The profile also reflects that one person cannot escape (fake male protagonist failed to escape), or three people escaped.
Photo clues (this big reasoning is the most convoluted, you must understand the rules in order to understand):
This is the second time that the real male protagonist opened the electronic photo album and found that two more photos appeared behind the original photo. I infer that the couple on this one is the original appearance of the fake couple, and the appearance of the doctor joining the screen is more abnormal, because The other photos are only two very close people. The explanation I came up with for this is that joining the doctor one is that the doctor was involved in the matter, the other is that the couple did not fully repair their relationship, and the other is that there is no separate photo of the two. , The second is that the following comments are very strange and do not mean any emotional repair, but just show that they have the opportunity to leave here on the weekend (bf reminds me that this sentence does not even have a subject, and it feels that the two people are still in a real relationship here)
It can be seen from this sixth photo that under normal circumstances, this photo should not appear now, but it should only appear after the true man and true woman have repaired the relationship and are ready to leave, that is, the photo book appears here. It should be the true man and the true woman, but we know that the true man said that he is not himself in the photo, and this man is wearing a blue long-sleeved sweater. This dress is mentioned in the plot (see the picture below). The clothes belong to the fake male protagonist. Here it is inferred that he is holding the real female protagonist. Because the comment says that we never wanted to leave. We know that this sentence cannot be the voice of a fake couple, because they all want to leave, so it can only be Written by the true mistress, because the true mistress said she wanted to stay.
In this regard, we can continue to think about what the next photo will look like. If the fake male protagonist and the real female protagonist fall in love and successfully leave the resort, leaving behind the real male protagonist and the fake female protagonist, then they can’t use their original appearance. Take a photo of falling in love (because the fake heroine can't be changed back), you can only take pictures with the faces of Ethan and Sophie, so this photo is duplicated, so there is a bug!!! What is the solution? If the real Ethan and the fake Sophie take photos with the faces of the new couple, the new couples can no longer take photos with their own faces, and there will be infinite bugs! ! ! ! The opposite is the same. If it is the ending that some people say, the real male lead takes the fake female lead to leave, there will be infinite bugs! ! !
After analyzing so much above, we can understand that the relationship between husband and wife who came to the resort was problematic at the beginning. At this time, their faces and souls are original products. If there is no accident, they will reflect on and repair their relationship here. , Dismantled the latter pair to replace them, and then walked out of the resort. At this time, they were fakes with mismatched faces and souls. Although the relationship between the two has been repaired, they have lost their original appearance. This seems to be able to illustrate a motif from the side
Loving someone should be the recognition of the soul under the appearance, not the appearance
Of course, there is also a relatively unconventional situation (the biggest bug in unconventional situations is the problem raised in the sixth photo above, which is really a huge bug), that is, one who walks out of the resort is a counterfeit and the other is an original one. According to If two people who love each other can leave and watch together, then this ending is also possible.
The best result of this round of the game: fake men and women leave together. There will be a bug result: fake male + real female or fake female + real male leave. Beautiful but slightly challenging the rules of the game. The result: the real men and women leave together.
(Here I will add why it is a challenge for real men and women to leave together, but the bug is not obvious, because if the fake men and women stay in the resort again, their strategy is to change their faces into the next couple a second time, and then cycle normally. And they have the fifth photo)
At this point, I am more sure to write in accordance with the rationality of the script, and I must let real men and women leave, so that the best solution is explained from a technical point of view.
Enchantment air wall:
In the end, although fake Ethan has gained the freedom to escape from the visible cage (guest room), there is still an invisible air barrier outside the resort that maintains the rules of this surreal world, which is the 2424 rule.
Evidence that the true mistress came out
Evidence 1: The true heroine was persuaded by the true hero
Insert a previous analysis: Looking back at the time when the real heroine went to the guest room early in the morning and asked the fake hero why you did that? Why did you deceive me? After the fake male protagonist had a deep confession, the true female protagonist was completely moved and kissed the fake male protagonist. In fact, you can think of it this way. The heroine’s long-term hope for the hero is that the hero can understand his waiting and love, and can hear the hero say that he is wrong. Sometimes the move on for girls really only needs a sincere confession. . In the end, when the hero confessed, she was really touched, because all she really needed was this.
It can be seen from the above picture that when the true heroine repents and expresses her only love for herself, the true heroine is convinced. She agrees to stay with the true hero and chooses the true hero. And, when a normal person sees a boy he likes giving up and leaving, will he choose him later?
Evidence 2: Position, body language and camera language
Evidence 3: Bacon Stem
Evidence 4: The nature of the rules of the game
We see from the back that we all know that people who love each other can walk out of the resort together. So is there any sentiment that says that there is any substantive relationship between the real hero and the fake heroine? No true love can pass through the air wall? ? ? ? ? Isn't this a huge bug that is very nonsense? ? ? If I were a screenwriter, in order to maintain a reasonable and self-consistent script, I would not let the real male lead take the fake female lead out. This is a self-contradictory editing method.
metaphor
Elephant in the room
The English proverb "the elephant in the room" means that in people's private and public lives, they collectively remain silent for certain obvious facts. An elephant was placed in a room, a group of people were allowed to enter, and then people began to talk, everyone saw the elephant but everyone did not say, and kept the collective silence. It is a collusive silence.
Both the real couple and the fake couple do know the existence of each other, but they did not pierce this layer of window paper before the four of them met. This is to look at the "elephant in the room" from a dominant level.
So is there an invisible "elephant in the room"? It's probably because the fake Ethan and the true mistress know who they are slowly establishing a certain relationship with. They are all in the original cheat, but they didn't have this matter. Speak out.
Originally thinking about it here seems to end here, but after I Baidu to the meaning of Tic Tac Toe, I think there seems to be more subtext in it.
Tic Tac Toe
Tic-tac-toe, the English name is Tic-Tac-Toe, is a kind of renju game played on a 3*3 grid. It is similar to Gobang. Because the board generally does not have a border, the grid lines are arranged in tic-tac-toe so it is named. The only tools needed for the game are paper and pen, and then two players representing O and X take turns to leave marks in the grid (generally, the first player is X), any three marks forming a straight line, it is a win .
Most people who have played this game will find that if both players make the best choice, the game will definitely be a tie.
We can try to use the mechanics of this game to look at the relationship between the four of them. Because the winner must be determined in the end, who made the non-optimal choice? We knew it was a fake heroine, and she said, "I would rather stay here than watch them leave."
Let’s look at one more detail. Whether this Tic-Tac-Toe game has a first-hand advantage. From the above picture, the first-hand advantage is useless, so it can be mapped. Although the fake couples knew the rules of the game a long time ago, they had the first-hand advantage, but it does not prove this. Real couples in a game can't come back. The important thing is that the real couple must make the best choice right away, while the fake couple did not make the best choice in the end, that is, the real couple reconciled, the fake couple started fighting, and the fake wife chose to stay.
Matryoshka
Matryoshka is a relatively obvious metaphor in this movie. I even saw that the Korean version of this movie poster directly uses the elements of a nesting doll.
The essence of a matryoshka is layer by layer, which is the setting of the person in the nest. What I think of is because every couple who goes out in the resort is normally a mate. They have the looks of others and love their original souls. Fundamentally speaking, this resort healing system is an endless doll game. However, the true male and female masters left successfully, and they are the real victors who have escaped the law of the middle man. Because other couples who went out were not completely successful to some extent.
There is another point, the doll appears twice in the story.
One is when the fake male protagonist first saw the true female protagonist, he threw a white doll, and the true female protagonist was playing a black doll. Here you can see that the two colors symbolize two opposites, that is, the fake couple pk the true couple. .
The second time a doll appeared, it was a game where the fake male protagonist played the "telling about the doll story" game with the true female protagonist. The true female protagonist talked about each doll’s personality, and in my impression, I remember that every one of them had it. Contradiction, there is a certain imperfection. For example, I remember the outermost matryoshka. She said she was a perfect wife, but she had fat thighs that could not be ignored.
In other words, the true heroine herself is also a complex of contradictions. She understands that everyone is imperfect and contradictory. At the same time, she can accept imperfect people, because we also know from the plot that when the heroine first betrayed their marriage She did not directly talk about divorce, but went to marriage counseling. She accepted the imperfect male protagonist, so I totally disagree with all those who are naive and seem to be worthless about the true female protagonist.
Then the fake male protagonist asked the true female protagonist which one she liked best, and she chose the smallest one.
Here, please allow me to [over-interpret]~ If you say that the layers of dolls are the more unreal the outside, the more core the inside, the closer to the essential state. In fact, what the heroine likes and cares about is the most essential thing. She chose the real hero in the end because she chose the real "us", choosing the real imperfect, not the false "perfect" and the false "hero".
Spirit and flesh
Interpretation of the ending of this movie on imdb
This is an additional English interpretation link I found. I’m not sure if it’s the official version, but it raises a question
One central question permeating the film is whether we truly love a person, or if we love the *idea* of that person
We love someone, what exactly do we love?
Real Sophie saw that the fake male protagonist met all her own imagination of the real male protagonist. That "idea" was what she wanted. She really couldn't remain indifferent. She liked this better version.
So what is love?
Because my full text is to prove that this movie made a choice and value judgment, I used this choice to answer that we love a certain, complete, and only one person.
The person the false heroine loves is the false male lead. Although he is a low-hearted person, he seems to be the most perfect, but there are many loopholes, so does the false heroine love him? She loves, what she loves is this certain person, all of him, a collection of strengths and weaknesses.
Is the true heroine perfect? Obviously not, he is stubborn and makes mistakes, the true heroine is not perfect, she is immature, sometimes centered on herself, hoping to change others instead of changing herself, but they are their own spirit and flesh The indivisible whole, they are the other half of each other in love.
The most perfect look of the love puzzle is that you complete my imperfection.
because
I love you.
