This movie is indeed excellent, but the content is a bit difficult to understand. Talk about the key points of the movie. To understand the content, now we must carefully read the film "The Philosophy of Time and Space Travel" in the movie. This is a description of the rules of the world in the movie.
"The Philosophy Of Time Travel" (The Philosophy Of Time Travel)
Preface
This book is a simple guide to the impermanence of the sky. I hope it is purely fictional, otherwise I have to pray for you. If the things predicted in the book happen in my lifetime, please Wanwu found me before it was too late.
—— Roberta-Ann Spyro
Chapter 1 Tangent Universe in October 1944 The
Primary Universe is full of crisis. Wars, plagues, famines, natural disasters. Everyone can't escape death.
The fourth dimension of time is relatively stable, but not impenetrable. Accidents that cause the texture to collapse rarely occur.
Once the offline universe appears, it will be extremely unstable and can only last for a few weeks.
If the offline universe collapses, its remains in the original universe—the black hole—will destroy all existence.
Chapter 2 Artifact and Living
When the offline universe appears, people near the space-time vortex will be at the epicenter of this dangerous new world.
The first sign of the offline universe is the appearance of the "sacred object".
When the "sacred object" appears, the "living body" will take it back out of curiosity. "Holy objects" are usually iron tools, such as arrowheads from ancient Maya civilization, or iron swords from medieval Europe.
The "sacred objects" sent back to the original universe are often regarded as religious totems because their appearance on the earth completely violates the logic of cause and effect.
Chapter 3 Water and Metal
Water and metal are the key elements of time travel.
In the offline universe, water is the barrier element used to construct the gate of time and space.
Metal is the transmission element that constructs the relic container.
Chapter 4 Dreams
When the "manipulated" (Manipulated) wakes up from the offline universe, they will still be entangled by nightmares, but most of them will not remember their previous experiences. Those who retain a little memory will be the ones who were in the dream. I am deeply sorry for the bad behavior.
The "sacred object" itself is the only physical evidence of its existence, and everything else has been wiped out in the offline universe.
According to ancient mythology, a Mayan warrior was shot by an arrow and fell off a cliff, but there was no army or enemy nearby.
A medieval knight was mysteriously pierced by an unforged sword.
The Lord said that everything has a reason.
Chapter 5 Living Receiver (Living Receiver) The
living receiver is the selected guide, responsible for placing the holy objects back to the original universe.
No one knows how or why he was selected.
He will be given the power of the fourth dimension. Powerful power, mind movement, mind control, summoning the magic of water and fire.
He will be entangled by nightmares, visions, and auditory hallucinations.
Those around him, called the "accused", will fear him and try to destroy him.
Chapter 6 Manipulated Dead The Manipulated Dead
is more powerful than the living receiver. If a person dies in the offline universe, he will contact the living recipient through the Fourth Dimensional Construct.
The fourth-dimensional channel is composed of water.
The death controller controls the living recipient accordingly.
He will set up an "Ensurance Trap" to ensure that the living recipient can safely send the holy objects back to the universe.
If the trap operates successfully, the living recipient will have no choice but to use his four-dimensional divine power to send the holy artifacts back to the universe in time before the black hole collapses.
Chapter 7: Manipulated Living: Manipulated Living
is usually friends/neighbors around the recipient of the living body.
Unfortunately, due to the task of returning holy relics, they will often show irrational violent tendencies.
Under this condition, they will spare no effort to avoid their annihilation in the offline universe.

1. The main line outline of the story:
1. The story began in 1988 On October 1-2, at this time, the world was already in the offline universe when the movie started, and the "sacred" aircraft engine appeared.
2. The hero, Donny, who was chosen by God to be the recipient of the living body, shoulders the task of returning the holy relic to the original universe. If the mission fails, both the offline universe and the original universe will be destroyed.
3. Under the guidance of Frank, the bunny man of death control body, after Downey experienced 28 days of life, after the death of his girlfriend, he completed the task of being a living recipient and returned the "Holy Treasure" aircraft engine back to the original Send the universe.
4. In the original universe, Downey was killed by an engine, the offline universe ended, and the original universe continued. The universe is saved from destruction.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
Second, content explanation:
1. Why is it said that the movie is an offline universe from the beginning?
A: The symptom of the appearance of the offline universe is the appearance of a holy object and the appearance of an engine, which proves that the offline universe is already in operation. It also explains why Frank the Rabbit was already guiding Downey before the engine fell. Only in the offline universe, Frank, the bunny man, can travel through time and space to guide Downey.
2. (Key question!!!) If Downey is smashed to death, he is fulfilling his destiny to save the universe. Why does Frank the rabbit man want to take Downey out of the house without just letting him be smashed to death?
A: Some netizens explained that because Downey had sleepwalking, he couldn't kill him even if he didn't cite or kill him. This is totally wrong! ! The correct answer is just the opposite, because the protagonist Donnie, no! can! die! Why? Please take a look at the section of "The Philosophy of Time and Space Travel", "The living recipient is the selected guide and is responsible for placing the holy relic in the position of returning to the original universe." As mentioned in the first point, it was already in the offline universe. Downey was in the offline universe. There is a task, which is to send the holy relics back to the original universe! Downey’s death in offline space is not allowed, and the rabbit just can’t let him die!
3. (The most critical question!!) What are the conditions for saving the universe? ?
A: This is the most important point of the movie. Many people have been circumvented here because they have not figured out the relationship between the offline universe and the original universe. In fact, offline and original are not two parallel lines, but the same line. ,
give an example of the image: "the primary universe, is a straight line on a running track, he ran 80 meters, suddenly appeared confused, off the universe was born, then on the next road into the offline universe Then he was running, but he could only run another 20 meters. When he reached a total length of 100 meters, both of them would die (both universes will be destroyed), so they must run the 20 meters before the offline universe. Stop him and drive him off the runway, then the original universe can step on the runway again, starting at 80 meters and then running forward, and can continue to run. "
So what are the conditions for saving the universe? Some viewers said that Downey was smashed to death? Some viewers said to send the holy relics back to the original universe? Not all right, in fact, the point is! What space do you do? ! ! ! ! There are two steps in total:
First: In the offline universe, the living recipient sends the "sacred object" back to the original universe (see "The living recipient is the selected guide and is responsible for placing the holy object in a position to return to the original universe.")
Second: In In the original universe, the living recipient (the protagonist Downey) completes the "sacrifice", that is, he will be killed in the original universe by the "sacred object" he sent back from the offline universe. (Reason, see." According to ancient mythology, a Mayan warrior was shot by an arrow and fell off a cliff, but there was no army or enemy nearby. A medieval knight was mysteriously pierced by an unforged sword. The Lord said, everything is nothing. There is a reason. "These records are that the living recipients of the original universe in the ancient times completed their sacrifices. They sent the holy objects back to the original universe in the offline universe, killed themselves, and allowed the original universe to continue. But the people only know The appearance of the original universe does not know what happened in the disappeared offline universe, so I only recorded this strange phenomenon unilaterally.)
Therefore, the biggest misunderstanding of the audience is that the two spaces are not separated. consider. These things have been explained more clearly in the director's book Philosophy of Time Travel.
4. Where are the aircraft engines in the movie?
A: The airplane engine misleads many people. Many viewers' inferences about the entire movie are derived from the airplane engine. This question is actually not important. The important thing is the rules and principles mentioned above. Its meaning is to tell the audience to "offline." The universe is already in progress", rather than "the off-line universe created by the engine not killing Downey", this is where many viewers confuse. In fact, the biggest meaning of an airplane engine is a "sacred object", not a reference basis for the timeline. In fact, the whole movie, at all time points, has the same number of engines. From beginning to end, there is only one airplane engine, or, to be correct, there is only one "sacred" airplane engine! ! !
Let's simulate the life of an airplane engine:
"The Philosophy of Time Travel": "Once the offline universe appears, it itself will be extremely unstable." The
entire space will be disordered.
On October 30 of the offline universe, the unshed aircraft engine was just an ordinary aircraft engine. Because the offline universe was about to collapse and destroy, a storm appeared, and the engine fell off. He traveled through the time tunnel created by the storm and returned to October in the offline universe. On the 2nd (the one who didn't hit Downey at the beginning of the movie).
The point is! ! ! From the moment the engine travels through the time tunnel, it is no longer an ordinary engine. It becomes a sacred object, a special object, outside of the Three Realms (the "sacred object" itself is the only physical evidence of its existence, and everything else is already there. The offline universe is in smoke. The real meaning of the words in this book is here).
Then the government was dragged away. In the end, Downey was sent back to the original universe (the one who killed Downey at the end of the film).
Then you can see, in fact, all time nodes, the number of engines they have are the same:
on October 2nd of the offline universe, there was a relic engine (the one that couldn’t kill Downey, traveled back 28 days later), and An ordinary engine on an airplane (in operation on an airplane somewhere)
Offline Universe October 30, there was a relic engine (taken away by the government), and an ordinary engine on the mother's airplane (before entering the time tunnel) It’s an ordinary engine. When he fell off and entered the time tunnel, he became a holy object, but he was no longer on October 30.) The
original universe had a holy object engine on October 2 (the one that killed Downey, sent from the offline universe) Come here), and an ordinary engine on an airplane (in operation on an airplane somewhere).
So, from start to finish, there is only one relic aircraft engine. In this way, I wonder if you will be clear about the engine problem.
5. In the movie theater, Frank took off his headgear and suffered a fatal injury to his right eye. It was the same as Frank killed by Downey after being guided. Even if he did not interfere with Downey, Frank was destined to be killed by Downey in the offline universe. What is the guiding significance of this role?
A: Actually, this is a deeply hidden and meaningful question, which is also a key point of this film-the important key to "religion"! The characters who died in the offline universe can become the dead control body that travels through time and space to guide the living recipient to complete the mission, and Frank, who traveled back after death, was fatally injured in the movie theater's right eye when he took off his hood. So what is the meaning of guidance?
In fact, the answer has been told to the audience just now, yes, it has already been said! The role of Frank Rabbit leading people is mainly for the audience. The biggest significance of the role of the rabbit leader is to tell all the audience and Downey that everything in the offline universe has been arranged and is destined! This is the fate arranged by God! Try reverse thinking and think about it. Without this role, Downey would do the same thing according to his own ideas and advance the plot with subjective thoughts. In the end, Frank was killed and the world was saved. The audience would not understand that this was a fate, but only felt that Downey had experienced these things, grew up, and made a subjective choice to save the world. And what the director wants to express is not just the kindness of human nature. There is another theme: Fate! Therefore, the director will arrange the scene in the movie theater, suggesting to the audience that everything is destined, and whether there is a dead control body to guide or not is of little significance. This involves the next question, what does the director want to express? ?
6. What exactly does the director want to express in this movie? ? ?
A: The idea of the director and screenwriter is always 100% clear to him. I dare not say that I can say it all, but I can still talk about it in general.
The theme of this movie has three key words: human nature, religion, science fiction.
Science fiction is about time travel and related content of the two-state universe. These are just a carrier, a fresh idea, and a gimmick to attract the audience. This is very important. Just imagine if it only talks about humanity and religion, will this movie have so much fun for the audience to think about and discuss? The long talks above all serve this aspect.
The human part is the 28-day experience of Downey in the offline universe. Although everything is destined, at every step, he is willing to do what he wants to do. This boy has never been ignorant (sexual fantasy) and rebellious. (Swearing at mother, swearing at older sister, bullying at younger sister), to knowing family affection (hugging when parting), knowing how to think independently about human nature and good and evil (answers in class, discriminating love and fear one-way, discerning perverted speakers), knowing love and sacrifice. These are thoughts and emotions that truly belong to him. The polite and perverted ideological educator, and the utilitarian, superficial and self-righteous female teacher who told her daughter that she would swallow her belly if she wanted to act, were all targets of the director's satire.
And another theme about human nature is, "If you want to save people, would you kill someone?" (According to the philosophy of time travel: "When the "accused" leaves the offline universe and wakes up, they will still be entangled by nightmares. Those who retain a small amount of memory will deeply regret their bad behavior in the dream.", "The living controller is usually the friend/neighbor around the living recipient. Unfortunately, they will spare no effort to save themselves from being in the offline universe. Annihilation.”) I
remember that when the last song MAD WORLD sounded, the protagonist was smashed to death, and all supporting actors were awakened in their sleep (primary universe), some of them were frightened, some looked dull, and some were sad and weeping. Because they are doing one thing in the offline universe, they are both destined and willing to do a disgraceful thing ---together to lead Downey to death. They all know that if they don't want to be destroyed, Downey must make the last step, sacrifice himself. They feel shame and guilt for their actions and thoughts. But he did it without hesitation.
Regarding religion, I dare not say much in this respect. The main thing is about "fate", why God arranges the plot, and then sends an extra so-called death controller to guide Downey, just to express something to the audience. "God loves the world", Downey’s ending cannot be avoided, but God arranged the story of Downey in the offline universe until the final moment of destruction, giving him more experience and time. This arranged 28 days before death was the last gift from God to Downey. Let Downey complete self-salvation and growth.
