There used to be two brothers. The younger brother was more headstrong and the older brother was more sensible. When they were young, one day their mother took them to play in the city. They were in a car accident while passing by somewhere. At this time, an uncle happened to pass by. The uncle smashed the car window glass and tried to rescue the two brothers. It's a pity It was when the two brothers were rescued that the mother was burned alive by the fire, and the uncle led the two children to his camp.

When the moon rose, all the people in the camp were sitting together around the bonfire. The older brother comforted the younger brother who had lost his mother. The uncle learned that the two brothers were brought up by the mother hand-in-hand. The two brothers have no relatives and no reason. They are adopted by the kind uncle. Had two children. In fact, the entire area around the camp has incredible power. Everyone in this land is trapped in their own cycle of reincarnation. Some people reincarnate for a few minutes, some for a few hours, and some for a few days. The uncle often said that everyone has their own doubts. Others cannot help to solve them. The answer can only be found by themselves. The uncle did not tell the two brothers about reincarnation. Everyone in the camp knows the cycle of death and rebirth in reincarnation. The uncle is actually a person who advocates science. There is an equation in his family that has not been solved, just like the cycle in the camp is a mystery that he cannot solve. He feels This is a kind of existence that cannot be seen with the naked eye. In the end, he had to create a certain kind of belief. When the reincarnation is about to end, everyone will hold a certain kind of ritual. One million hours can understand a special skill, infinite reincarnation. The camp has an unlimited number of one million hours, so everyone in the camp has their own expertise.

The people in the camp are pretty good. There is a big sister who is good at designing clothes and is very kind to her younger brother. Seeing that the three full moons will appear again, it will be another reincarnation, but the two brothers disappeared that day. So they missed it. Mother, I drew a picture and took it to the place where the car accident occurred to commemorate my mother. When the two brothers returned to the camp, they got lost and went farther and farther. If the camp is the first circle of reincarnation, then the place where the car accident happened is number 2. In the circle, the two brothers accidentally knocked out of the circle of reincarnation, and finally came back to the camp by accident. At this time, the camp was over and started a new cycle. The big sister who made clothes was surprised when she looked at her younger brother. , Someone has escaped the cycle of reincarnation. Maybe they are too young to be fooled by the illusion. The elder brother found that the eldest sister looked at the younger brother's eyes strangely, and he felt that the eldest sister might be a pedophile.

Time passed slowly, and three full moons appeared again. The camp began to prepare for the ceremony. One day my brother encountered strange people who often appeared around the camp on his way home from taking pictures. The strange people always walked around the camp. He didn't say a word, but today he blocked his brother who was going home. He told him to run fast because everything is in reincarnation here. My brother didn't take it seriously, but he was paying attention to what happened in the camp. He found the weird rituals held in the camp. Maybe they wanted to commit suicide and martyrs together. This is a cult! Yu told his brother that the people here would commit suicide collectively, and there would be no chance if they didn't run away, so he led his brother out of the camp and escaped the reincarnation again.

The two brothers grew up in the camp since they were young. This is also doomed to their lack of knowledge, so they can only do the lowest job in society, with a meager income to make ends meet, the younger brother can no longer survive, after all, he is already Getting used to the camp life, one morning the younger brother received a tape. The younger brother bought a video recorder with the money to install the battery in the car. The tape was about the campsite’s content. The younger brother was surprised to find that the people in the camp did not commit suicide. In fact, my brother didn’t know that everyone who had stayed in the camp would receive tapes. For example, the tapes my brother found at the bottom of the lake, the tapes dug out from the ground by people who committed suicide again and again, and even in a house in the camp. The tape is full of tapes. In fact, the content of the tape is exactly the answer everyone is looking for. The answer from the tape of the younger brother is that the people in the camp did not commit suicide. The answer of the older brother’s tape is that the people in the camp are indeed a cult. This suicide method can’t escape reincarnation. In the end, my brother persuaded him to return to the camp. On the road, he found the same scenery at both ends of the road. The brother saw the clues of reincarnation. The place where the young car accident happened, the picture was so small. In fact, dyeing is also a cycle of reincarnation. After leaving the cycle of reincarnation, the memory will gradually become blurred, so the two brothers have forgotten to paint. When they returned to the camp, everyone warmly welcomed the brothers. The two did not mean to blame. The uncle is still the same as before. There are many newcomers in the camp. The elder brother promised to stay with the younger brother for the night. In the evening, the elder brother met a woman who went out looking for her husband. She told her brother that she was already there. I have stayed here for a long time, and I have still not been able to find my husband. Later, the younger brother planned to stay in the camp forever. After the two quarreled, the older brother decided to leave alone. On the road, the older brother met the weird man who persuaded him to leave. On the road of reincarnation, he asked his brother to help him get a gun. When taking the gun, his brother came to another cycle of reincarnation. It turned out that a good friend who strayed into the cycle of reincarnation in order to help another friend detox. They and the camp. People in, they find a way to escape from reincarnation by suicide. The man who is not addicted to drugs tells his brother that he misses his wife and children very much. When they were separated, the brother stopped the man. He thought it was possible for a woman to find a husband in the camp. It was his wife, but his brother couldn't bear to tell him, because he couldn't escape his cycle of reincarnation. The younger brother who had quarreled and the people in the camp were sitting around the campfire. The uncle who knew how to make wine called the kind uncle to talk aside. He told the uncle that he should tell his brother the truth, and the kind uncle felt that they were brothers. Belong here, two

The two brothers returned to the camp. The people in the camp disappeared. Three full moons appeared in the sky this night. Through tape playback, they found that the people in the camp were all sitting around the campfire, and a twine was dropped from the sky. , The hemp rope swayed like a giant snake. Everyone who was hit by the campfire disappeared, leaving only broken clothing. The two brothers hurried to the car. Because the battery was gone, the car could not be started. The brother pushed hard on the side. While driving the car, my brother caught fire. At the most desperate time, the car started. They have come to the edge of reincarnation. Many crows crashed and died there. The two brothers closed their eyes and rushed towards the invisible wall. Sometimes you think It was death, but it was actually life. Finally, the two brothers escaped from the camp’s cycle of reincarnation, maybe another second later they will be trapped in it forever. Reincarnation in the camp has begun again. Uncle looked at the two brothers who were drifting away. There was a smile on his face. After all, the two brothers were brought up by him, and the uncle was still very happy to see them escape from reincarnation.

But did the two brothers really escape from reincarnation? Maybe they just escaped to another larger, longer-lasting cycle of reincarnation, and started a new period of reincarnation! Life itself is a never-ending cycle. In the words of Master Xing, it is eating, drinking, Lazard and sleeping. It is so joyful to repeat, endless and endless! At the end of "Endless", the older brother gave the steering wheel to the younger brother. At this time, the older brother trusted him. The younger brother made a change for the first time in the whole movie. He said that he was leaving here, that is, to escape from the camp. In fact, he escaped. It is also repeated and repeated every day in the world. Now that he has made a change, the steering wheel in his hand is the weapon to change fate. The invisible wall he smashed is also the shackles of fate. In the end, the butterfly effect triggers the future. After a change occurs, there will be no more thoughts of returning from the days of the camp in the opening movie, so the two brothers actually escaped from the camp, at least I think so. One thing to add is that although they are in a foreign land, they are in reincarnation. At the beginning of the movie, the male protagonist received a tape. The male lead thought it was sent to her by the hostess of the camp. Later the female lead denied that there was a reincarnation in the film. This kind of similarity is that people in reincarnation will receive a tape, and this tape can often confuse the person involved. Where did this tape come from? I think it was made by the mysterious existence that created reincarnation in the camp. Just like the photo falling from the sky, the leading actor has been wondering whether the people in the camp committed suicide, so he received the tape, and the tape lured the male protagonist back. Camp, so the cycle begins!
