Briefly understand the plot, I feel that the science fiction premise of this film is really pretty yy

The premise of this sci-fi film is "Every time you open the source code program, you can open the entrance to a parallel world. The soul of the teacher in this world is suddenly replaced by the consciousness of the captain of the Air Force. The world is exactly the same and equal", this is pure yy and cannot be explained, but in short it just happened. As a cover, the illusion that has always been presented in the front of the film: The experimental body seems to just enter the virtual world reproduced by the scientist to break through the barriers, as if the game is finished as soon as the power is unplugged.

If this sci-fi premise can be accepted, the plot can be rounded out: suppose the world where the captain’s body is at the beginning of the movie is a, and the world that appears at the end of the movie is n, the captain of the world a has died out from the body to the spirit, but his spirit is in In the parallel world n where the train did not explode, it was attached to the teacher's body to survive. At the same time, there is also a captain used as an experiment in World n. Since terrorist activities have been prevented, it has not been activated (see the report by the lower-level officers at the end to Dr. Cripple), but the text message that the male owner sent to the female officer in the car in the morning has been transmitted. arrive. In short, only the male protagonist in world n knows that he has experienced many parallel worlds.

The least suspicious part of the film is that the text message was sent to the female officer's cell phone. In addition, the consciousness of all the characters in the play has the body as a container, and the screenwriter completely avoids the question of where the spirit goes after death. Therefore, we don't know where the teacher's original soul was squeezed. In World n, where will the spirit go after the death of the old male protagonist, this film does not intend to give an explanation.

The director has stated clearly that he is shooting a parallel world. Therefore, it is not that thoughts or consciousness or memories are transformed into data floating in the ocean of data (such as Ghost in the Shell), and it is not a problem that the details that the teacher does not know can also be presented. Ah, in that case, maybe Dr. Crip really knows the truth of the experiment. Reading the memory eight minutes before death is a pretense and rhetoric. He knows that the world the subject entered is detailed enough to provide clues to solve the case, so he started the program (and he also Mention of quantum physics implies that he used the theory of parallel worlds at the cost of playing with the lives of the captain and the teachers in the parallel world.

Questions that the film does not seem to explain in detail: 1. How far is the scientist's control of the captain's spirit? My understanding is that in world a, the captain did not die, the country lied to the society and his relatives and used this half-dead soldier for human experimentation. The world his mentally recognized appears to be a closed warehouse. This is him. The consciousness is fabricated, and at the same time, the scientist can control the coming and going of his consciousness, or eliminate his memory, and this control will continue until his physical death. As for the world where the train exploded every time after being pulled back, it was just that the male lead's consciousness disappeared from there.

2. Is the constantly flashing Chicago spherical mirror egg a symbol? It means that a, which is taken as the "real world" in the film, is just one of countless parallel worlds, and if it is not done well, it is the world that continues after another crossing?
