* Main characters: Xi, Mi, Yang, glasses man, football man, old whale (old man), Mi's father, Mi's mother;
* Actually, the foreshadowing in the plot is not hard to find. Mainly those scenes at the beginning and end of the movie that appeared very short-lived. When I watched it for the second time, I went through the scenes one by one. Basically, the plot can be sorted out. However, clarifying the plot is not the most important thing. Just like you watch EVA, if you clarify the plot, it doesn't mean you can understand it, maybe you haven't even entered the door.
* One of the clues of the story unfolds with the man with glasses. The first scene of the movie is the first choice of the man with glasses. In fact, there is a very obvious sign, that is, he looked at his watch. He has two choices: one is to continue his work and find Mi's father; the other is to give up the current job and find Mi's mother, who is his old lover. He thought he could finish the work first, and then go to the old lover. But it turned out that he couldn't keep up. Then the first choice we made here was to continue working, which is called plot 1. He chose to drive forward after the football man left to follow.
* Then triggered by a two story plot: Drama 1.1 and 1.2.1.1 West chrysanthemum burst; 1.2 is heaven after he was thrown from a series of back story;
* finally time to launch belts, jump back in the final story called plot 2.
* Then we noticed that at the end of Plot 1.1, it was the man in glasses who killed his brother and then attracted the police. At this time, there are two details. One is that the night sky is split, which indicates that the plot has changed; the other is that the man in glasses said: If only I had time to belt. This echoes the activation of the time belt on the old whale at the end of the film. Before this sentence, there was a scene of the man with glasses playing with that boy's box when he was a child. This was used to later show that he was actually the son of the old whale.
* There are two very important words, that is, West’s mobile phone message entered on the subway

* The first time on the subway in Story 1: "Your life is the result of your own decision."

* Your life is your own decision. The result

* The second time was on the subway in Story 2: "The story has never been to end"

* The story has never been to end ;


* Judging from the fact that there are sometimes real people in the film, there may be some characters. Prototype. I think that part of the West actually corresponds to the author himself. It is not necessarily a character mapping, but at least I think that the news that Xi typed on his mobile phone was dictated by the author by Xizhi. So everyone feels that these two sentences are the two most important sentences in the film.
* I have some understanding:

* The first sentence can of course be considered throughout the whole play. But there are two meanings:

* 1 Different people get different lives by contacting different things and making different choices;

* Source: A segment of the background of the story is shown in the film at the beginning and at the end. The difference is that the first paragraph has a dark and dark background music, and the second paragraph is bright and lively; in addition, the second paragraph has a little more content than the first paragraph;
* The difference is: the first paragraph is actually a resultant statement. It tells you some information about the results, and it fills in some details that led to these results at the end of the film. So the first paragraph is really hard to understand.
* After combining the second paragraph, it actually took care of the first sentence: The result is determined by the choice; and different people come into contact with different things, so they get a different life;
* For example: Mihe Yang and the others have come into contact with different things, so they have developed completely different hobbies. I didn't check it specifically. There was a picture of them walking on the road, and then one looked to the left and the other looked to the right. Then they saw the posters of two different clubs, so they focused on different things. It seems to be.
* Another example: football men like Maradona, so the way of playing (handball) is also learned from Maradona. . . As a result, he was tragic. . .

* 2 It is the same person who can reap a different life by making different choices in the face of the same thing;

* Needless to say, the choice of Nishiwa Glasses Man explains it.


* The second sentence is actually very important. It can be regarded as a sublimation of the first sentence. That is to say: Although we have made a lot of decisions, leading to our existing results. However, the story of choice will never end. We have to face more choices and make our decisions to welcome a colorful life in the future!

* To put it bluntly, reality cannot be changed. You don't have time belt, you can only yell your MIND GAME in your mind, but please don't give up, because there are still many choices waiting for you to make a decision, you can still harvest a colorful life!


* Everyone takes it for granted that West is the protagonist of the story. But I think Xi is more like a bystander. First of all, all the people in the story are related by blood, except for West. Secondly, West is actually the incarnation of the author. In fact, from the perspective of plot development, the man with glasses is the protagonist. You can think of Xi as the protagonist in the MIND GAME of the man with glasses, and then the author chaos in, so that Xi gains the aura of the protagonist and can be resurrected, and then teach everyone a lesson: how to change life with a positive attitude.
* Then the man with glasses got an education in his own YY's MIND GAME, and made a wise choice after returning to reality.
* Why did the spectacle man come back from the crossing? It can be seen from the following points

* The time belt of the whale old man before the spectacle man travels back is rotating counterclockwise, indicating that time is going backwards.
* After crossing back, there is a scene very similar to the beginning of the film, but the difference lies in the rearview mirror. The head of the movie is a 2D portrait of a man with glasses, which has become a 3D reality version, indicating that the man with glasses has returned from his own MIND GAME.
* The man with glasses just came back from the traverse, in fact he looked in a trance, then turned his head to look at the people around him, because this is a feeling that he needs to determine where he is just after traversing. So it is certain that the man with glasses has previous memories.

* Then after the football man walked, he did not choose to go forward, but reversed his car. At this time, the picture became brighter and the lines became straight. This means that the man with glasses has made a diametrically opposite choice.
* Others:

* This movie reminds me of "Youth School", if it is based on my understanding of MIND GAME, it is really similar. Those lives in the belly of the whale are just like what the boy pie described in the story. And I really hope to see what happens if Ang Lee and Pixel are allowed to remake this movie. At least the life in the whale's belly in the middle section should be very exciting! Although the original work is indeed exciting enough! It can be called a performance made by God!

*Question:

*Understanding of MIND GAME

* First, I think only plot 2 is true. Plot 1 and the branch plots about the West that were triggered afterwards are all MIND GAME produced by the man with glasses; and the author actually uses the West to borrow the title to play, because it is out of YY, so you can wildly think about it, what is the resurrection, the belt of time, All have a reasonable explanation.

* The advantage of thinking this way is that there is no need to define this film as a science fiction film. It feels more rigorous and more in line with my taste.
* There are also some evidences, that is, after the unfolding of plot 2, only the glasses man showed a trance expression, and Nishiwa did not show signs of possessing the memories of the whale before. And Mi just caught up with the subway as a happy ending that the author attached to Mi~

* Second, the time belt really played a role in the play. What happened before was true, and then they came back through the belt of time. This will completely become a science fiction fantasy XD

* Who are the parents of that football man? Is there any explanation in the film? It's just that he has lacked care since he was a child and is an orphan? He and the man with glasses are just brothers. You met while working under the boss, right? Then how did they get together, because have they all been NTR by that SB Mifu? So what's the holiday between Father Mi and Boss Black? Why is it their job to find Mifu instead of private work?
* At the end of the film, another line of words actually appeared. Yes

* This story has never ended.
* It is slightly different from the previous one. I wonder if there is any deep meaning in this? But the feeling it gives me is just the author's ridicule. Because the end of the general movie is The end. Then he came to this sentence, not only a point, but also a teasing way to end the movie XD

* Since the old whale took the wrong box back then, why did you run away? No drugs anyway?
* How did Mi's family owe debts?

    The most powerful chicken soup in history, after reading it, it is like drinking ten bottles of Red Bull, and I want to run wild in the sun with tears and live desperately. It is recommended that the World Suicide Prevention Association vigorously promote this film.

    Good supervisors always have an obsession, like Kon Min's inversion of illusory reality, or Yuasa Masaaki and Timeline. I always say that I’m not right with him, but I’m still willing to give five stars again and again, because even if I didn’t go through the intricacies of every frame, even the subject of life possibility is a cliché, but he always showed me the flow of genius that only animation should have. The shortcomings of sense and imagination are that they are too dazzling and the structure is loose. Many places are very procrastinated.
