I didn't understand the last scene at all, so I watched the few film reviews...I still didn't understand.
The film was shot in New Zealand, and there is a French poster in the poster. The name of the film in French is "le dernier survivant", which means the last survivor. According to the French film title, the last scene means that the male pig's foot is the last survivor?
The sea appears three times in the film. In the beginning, the sun rises from the sea, and the male pig’s feet obviously live on the beach (one shot is Oceanside Motel, a coastal motel); about 33 minutes and 50 seconds, the male pig’s feet swim naked in the sea, reflecting the sun on the sea; the last scene , The male pig's feet stood at the beach in confusion, something that looked like Saturn rose from the sea, and the sun was still reflected in the sea.
What does this mean? Or am I thinking too much? In fact, it’s just that the director thinks that the sun is more suitable for rising from the sea, so that it looks powerful?
Cheating posters. The words QUIET EARTH are huge, but the male pig's feet are standing in a place that doesn't know if it is on the earth. The most cheating thing is that this shot only appears at the end, and it is completely unrecognizable to have any connection with the whole film.
The plot of this film is unexpected. I thought that the male pig's feet would play to the end alone, but I didn't expect female pig's feet to appear. I thought that the male pig's feet would have sex with the female pig's feet, but I didn't expect the male number two halfway through. I thought that more people would be found later. I didn't expect the director to stop at a love triangle. I thought that after the male pig’s feet blew up, the earth restored peace or humans found hope. I didn’t expect the director to let us watch the poster... Oh, it’s really rare to see the female pig’s feet and the male number two having sex without the male number one having sex.
Forget it, it was because it was unexpected that I finished it.
Does the film want to discuss what to do when people are completely alone? Want to discuss giving happiness to others when you fall into a love triangle? Want to discuss whether to be a scientific nerd or a muscular man? Who Knows.
The only thing that can be seen is that one person is tragic, two people (one man and one woman) are happy, and three people (two men and one woman) must have suspicion and struggle.
Forget it, in order to stop entangled in the film, I will give several common explanations to the science fiction:
1. At 1:13:08 in the film, the three people suddenly seem to be isolated in different spaces and cannot see each other. other side. So the first explanation is the most popular parallel universe theory! Normally the universe does not split, but experiments on the sun and the earth created parallel universes, which scattered the three people into another parallel universe at the moment of dying. These three people have died in the original universe, while the others are still living in the original universe. This is the first major catastrophe. A small catastrophe will distort gravity and slightly distort time and space, creating a parallel universe that can be restored to normal; it will still be restored in the end (at 1:13:08). The big catastrophe creates a parallel universe, and the super catastrophe (the end of the film) severely distorts time and space, so the male pig's feet have reached a place where the audience is completely clueless. Oh, it seems a bit far-fetched...
2. Explanation two, this explanation is much easier to talk about. From 01:15:45. The male pig's feet said that no one disappeared, only me, you are not real, only in my brain. This explanation is the hallucination theory. From the beginning of the film, the male pig's feet had a (near-death) hallucination after taking a bottle of medicine. The film 01:01:27 shows that this medicine is Mogadon (Nitrazepam, Nitrazepam), an anti-anxiety, epilepsy, and insomnia medicine. Refer to the movie "STAY" (Stay Between Life and Death, a good movie). Illusion can explain everything. In view of the scientific otaku attributes of male pig's feet, the illusion presents a strong sci-fi color. Male pig’s feet long for loneliness and hallucinations of loneliness, desire for sex, hallucinations of women, and desire to be strong, hallucinations of muscular men, but male pigs’ feet feel that strong males are worthy of gentle females. Although they are unwilling to be a scientific otaku, they are helpless. Finally, after a hero save the world addiction, and then continue his illusion travel.
3. It is the explanation in the film itself. The experiment annihilated human beings and changed the cosmic constant. The fluctuation of the sun brought catastrophe. The first fluctuation changed the human being, and the last fluctuation completely changed the earth and the solar system.
Oh, I'm too long-winded.
