The feeling of details is purely a personal point of view.

I personally feel that this movie is not about one cycle, but about interspersed together many times. And starting from the protagonist's narrative, it is not the first time to enter the world of reincarnation, but only one of many. (Like a horror cruise ship) He should wake up many times, because every time he returns to the virtual world, his memory will be erased, so he doesn't know it. But every time you return to the virtual world, there are actually different changes, that is, the subconscious change of the protagonist. Everyone's subconscious has a tremendous use of the virtual world, and the so-called virtual world is constantly updated.

First of all, make sure that if you die in the virtual world, you will return to the real world. The soldier holding the grenade confirmed this. Because of his death in the virtual world, he woke up in the laboratory and found that he was disabled and unable to accept the facts. When he was sent back to the virtual world for treatment again, he went crazy and said , "This is not true", and can catch the male lead in the air. Death again afterwards should be caused by death in the real world.

The details of the expression of multiple reincarnations include:

1. The virtual world only starts from the time they go to perform the task, and there is no previous action. But the green hat soldier, in the mouth of the killed Nazi soldier, only pulled off two gold teeth, but when he gave it to the woman, he gave a large amount, which may have been cycled many times. And the coats he gave to women were still worn during the second tour.

2. When the male protagonist first entered the mansion, he saw a blackened carpet on the second floor, indicating that it was not the first time to come.

3. The male protagonist is in the bathroom on the second floor. He should have been drowned. Only for a moment in the real world, three doctors will look at his camera. Although the movie uses "Dream another dream" to illustrate, I think it happened and it was printed in the subconscious mind of the male protagonist. Therefore, here is the node of a reincarnation, and the male lead goes to the bathroom and says "I will help you", which is obviously a purposeful search. 4. The mousse code that the male lead heard first should also be sent to him subconsciously, and then guided to other teammates. For example: "I have no legs", "Can't leave here".

5. The male protagonist keeps reminding himself in the cycle and looking for ways to rescue his teammates, so he wants to find the dead bodies and try to bury them to get salvation. but failed

6. The diary was obviously blank when the protagonist discovered it, but it was full after he went upstairs, and the protagonist asked Brother Glasses what it was written. So here is a bold conjecture. The scene in the basement is also the node of a reincarnation. It is estimated that the protagonist was killed by the glasses brother, otherwise he would not doubt the glasses brother. And when the flashlight was in the picture, the boy could not be seen. It is estimated that the soul came out and attached himself to Brother Glasses. And Brother Eye is an American, and he knows German and Muslim. He doesn't know why. I think he was influenced or possessed by ghosts.

7. Why was the last page of the diary torn? Maybe the protagonist found out that burying them would lead to rebirth during a reincarnation, so he tore off the last page and hid it. But with the "help" of the ghost, he found it again, tragedy.

8. When they evacuated, they wanted to find an excuse to explain "abandoning the post", for example, the mansion was burned by the Germans. But the male lead said "maybe it won't let us burn". I deeply felt that maybe I was burned in a certain cycle, but it failed.

9. At the end, when the protagonist woke up again, he not only saw the smoker, but also noticed the sign of the cigarette this time. Although he lost his memory and said "what do you want", but his subconscious mind gave him a new one. thinking. And this time there is one missing person, which also shows that the virtual world has changed because of his cognition.

The subconsciousness of some people in the play also has a corresponding role

The green hat soldier cares most about the hanged woman and the child who turns over the rope in reality, so he is in the virtual world. Constantly linking these two things together, he was tied and hanged on his hands.

The soldier holding the grenade, in reality, he also pushed the Muslim woman to cover his teammates, so there was a line in the line "destined to be a hero", but he hugged it with his body but broke his arm. This is also an insinuation of reality.

In reality, the male protagonist rushed out of the wall to see the drowning child the first time, so he went to the bathroom on the second floor in the virtual world, hoping to help him.

When they evacuated, they couldn't get out of this virtual world, and they also saw the house of the Afghan family at the same time.

Since this movie is a thriller, watch it as if it was really cursed. These five soldiers should have received post-traumatic spiritual healing, but the ghosts of the Afghan family have to make them pay the price, that is, lives. So in the virtual world, let them "remember" things in Afghanistan, (such as burning to death, drowning, hanging Nazi soldiers) constantly torturing them, preventing them from being saved, and being full of guilt. If it fails, it will loop indefinitely. Therefore, the death of a soldier holding a grenade may be just the first step in their "success". The male protagonist is also in the cycle, constantly having new consciousness, the cigar locked in the box is a deep clue. When looping again, he saw that the people in the shadows smoked cigars, which might be a new starting point.

There are a lot of details in the movie, but typing is too tiring, let's talk about it if you have a chance. Maybe my brain is too big, don’t spray if I don’t like it. If you like this movie, you can leave a message and communicate.
