This kind of secret room one-man drama (or group drama) and time and space interlaced themes have always been my favorite, but after watching this one, I have to sigh that it is an unexpected masterpiece.

The beginning of the story did not tell the cause. In the first fifteen minutes, my unruly mind was "Another Dimensional Killing Array" or "Life and Death". Getting better after half an hour, Fletcher's words made Frank piece together the reasons why he was trapped here, and I also understood that this is not "The Man without a Surname" but "Source Code". After that, he began to fight with the AI ​​subconsciously. After the second escape, the dream girl was left in the secret room. The scene was so beautiful, like Mal who was left in a deserted dream by Cobb.

This scene made me believe that Frank succeeded in the second escape. His subconscious mind was left in the secret room and watched him leave.

Since then, the ending is also like "Inception". Different people have different opinions. You can say that Frank did not come out. The tree is like the back of James and Philipa is a symbol of dreams; you can also say that Frank has come out. Dream girl told him that he had not come out. Don't know the real name, it means a new beginning.

And the last scene of the monitor scene discussed by the general public, as far as I understand it, is to commemorate the love between Frank and Howard (not). Artificial intelligence possesses self-thought and feelings and saves friends, but friends cannot save it, and eventually shut it down.

When Howard finished saying "we are friends", Frank couldn't bear to cut off the power quickly.

Prior to this, Frank asked Howard LSO the meaning of it, interspersed with the scene where his father was forced to survive by a life support device before he died, and then he took off the respirator to accept his death, exactly the same. The base was not supplied, power was insufficient, humans and AI were dying, Frank also took off his friend's breathing mask.

You keep me alive, but I have to kill you.

Of course, this understanding is based on the premise that I believe that the second escape was successful. If you explain it from another aspect, the understanding will be completely different. The monitor is like a spinning top, and I want to believe that it will stop eventually.

In addition, the stream of consciousness shots and the restrained and stripped soundtrack (I don’t understand the music genre, I can only describe it this way) add a lot of points to the whole movie, which is remarkable.

    Sci-fi confinement, slightly boring, small layout, and very general meaning

    The fault of a USB flash drive! The male protagonist is trapped in a secret room by the artificial intelligence and wants to pull out his virus U disk. AI has released many sets, such as repeating waitresses, spotting black cellmates, pretending to escape from birth, and letting him relax his vigilance to fetch the USB flash drive, all of which are seen through. Finally, he really let him escape, however. . . Movies can be interpreted in various ways, but the first and mid-terms are too long, too boring and trivial. I thought it was "Painful Fang", but it was far away. The heroine is a special passerby, count a kind of temperament

Infinity Chamber quotes

  • Frank: My father died of heart disease. When he got sick they put him on this machine. Kept him alive four years. Four years longer than he was supposed to live. You think that's a gift? The man had made his peace, he was ready to go. A machine took that away from him. It trapped him in a life that wasn't even living.

    Frank: Everybody's so damn excited, "look what it can do!"No one stops to think, look what it doesn't do. He was the strongest man I ever met. And I'd never seen him broken. Sometimes life's just supposed to be what it is.

  • Howard: You were transferred here on a DL9, standard. But it was processed with a KBN6 authorized default. I don't...

    Frank: What does that mean?

    Howard: Well, in so many words, you came from the same place where you were sent. That's impossible. That is an error.
