The metaphor of a cave

After reading it, the structure of "Interstellar Crossing" will be instantly remembered in my mind, but unlike "Interstellar Crossing", "Time Trap" presents the history, present and future of human beings in the same space at the same time-the fountain of old age.

From the perspective of science fiction, this fountain of youth may be a node that disrupts time, it may be natural, or it may be a special environment artificially created by future humans after breaking the time barrier. This pattern spanning the historical context of primitive humans, modern humans, contemporary humans, Martian humans... is more like an allegorical scene...

If this cave is regarded as a shelter for the entire human race, then it is equivalent to the earth.

Humans from different historical periods appeared in the cave at the same time, which corresponds to humans from different historical periods living on the earth at the same time.

Of course, the time logic in the film cannot correspond to the real environment...

But the reality has a subtle correspondence with the caves in the movie: primitive people living in the Amazon jungle, tribal people living deep in Africa, followed by the war-torn Middle East, and the so-called developing countries, and finally And Apple’s UFO headquarters...

In the eyes of Amazon's primitive people, aren't we aliens who play games with mobile phones?

Being in this cave is a metaphor!

  • Taylor: None of this was supposed to happen. You went looking for someone who went missing while he was looking for someone else that went missing.

  • [last lines]

    Furby: What the heck is this place?

    Jackie: Well, it's not quite home, but at least were all together.

    Furby: Together? Like together-together?

    Taylor: Let's get you guys dried off...

    Jackie: No, goof. Come on, I'll show you around. A lot's changed, but... we're kind of a big deal around here.
