I want to beg some viewers to stop science fiction, because you can't get science fiction, your imagination is completely exhausted, the whole thing is to drag around with the little things that you read from popular science books. You have to know that it is very unfair to the scientists that the results that scientists have worked so hard to produce by you are very unfair, but they have deeply hurt the scientists.
Enough nonsense, let's talk about movies. What attracts me most about this movie is not its science fiction plot, but its dramatic effects. Film, first of all, is a form of artistic expression. Art cannot be analyzed only by scientific analytical methods. Will you talk about quantum mechanics in the face of Picasso's paintings? I think this movie tells a good story. Although some parts are illogical from the perspective of existing physics or physics science books, these things can be completely ignored.
First of all, the film constructs a very simple and touching plot, which is to kill oneself. But killing oneself here is not just a simple suicide, but killing the future self. This means that you already know your death date. I once discussed this issue with my friends, what would happen to a person if he knew his exact date of death and how he died. I personally think that a small part of the movie talks about a real state, that is, falling into a state of madness, killing people, taking drugs, and doing things that I didn't dare to do before, because people at this time have already felt that there is no Constrained, the matter of death has gone from an unknown state to a certain state, giving birth to two senses of despair. The movie talks about one, that is, the doomsday will come thirty years later, and the second one is, Before the doomsday comes, how can you toss yourself without death, of course, this is a relatively abnormal sense of despair, because most people want to live, but we must not ignore those who want to die quickly.
This concept of killing oneself has been greatly sublimated in the movie. At the end of the movie, Ji Cerf shot himself in the chest, and then Uncle Bu disappeared. This plot gave me the feeling that this is not only an individual. The demise of, because it involves the future of self, it feels like the demise of a piece of history. You use your gun to face yourself, sacrifice yourself, save others, and change history, and you also die with the determination to change history. Yes, isn't this attractive? The film seems to be telling a science fiction story from the beginning, but it is actually about human nature. At the end of the film, how does Yusef utter a monologue: I saw a mother who could sacrifice herself for her children, and a husband who was going to kill in order to resurrect his wife. The dramatic tension between life and human nature is here, including the 囧瑟夫 in the film. It boils down to two words: selfishness. In a normal state, it is difficult for humans to first consider the philosophy of life, the survival of human beings, these illusory things, the first thing that humans defend, should be the one around them, or those close people. This is a pure sensibility. Experience. Let us put aside superpowers, put aside the time and space shuttle, and return to simple emotions. Let me make an analogy. There is a strange old man who wants to kill a child. What do you do? An old stranger is coming to kill your child, and you are unarmed, what do you do? The special thing in the film is that this strange old man is exactly who you are thirty years later, and you cannot directly prevent this tragedy, the only way is to kill yourself. This is where tension exists.
In addition, in the film, Joseph as a young Joe, and Uncle Bu as an old Joe, the two have completely different personalities and worldviews. This is also a place of tension. Uncle Bu has always said that Josephus is a stupid child, and Joseph has been yelling to Uncle Bu: That the fuck is your life, not my life. This kind of scene, is there any familiarity? This is not just a dialogue between me and the future me, but a dialogue between two generations, which symbolizes the difference in thinking between the two generations and the difference in circumstances. On top of this seemingly fragmented issue, the film uses this time and space shuttle method, and at the same time reflects the flow of human nature in the face of time. It’s all me, but the twenty-year-old me is different from the fifty-year-old me. Not only is the appearance different, but the heart is also different. You cannot guarantee that when you are twenty, you are still a well-mannered scholar, fifty years old. Time will not become a cold-faced killer. The film reflects this difference, showing the gap between people and others, as well as the gap between people and themselves.
As for science fiction, I think it is just a means of this movie, just a story of arrangement. It is a place that can be weakened, and many people just want to strengthen it. This is a place that I am puzzled by. So you will find that some people want to talk about the logic of this movie, and some people think that this movie is just nonsense. In fact, if you want to say round, you can always say round. If you look at the existing science knowledge, it is indeed logically unreasonable. It depends on whether you want to rely on existing knowledge or imagination.
At the end of the film, Jie Zefu sketched out the life of a child if the tragedy happened, it would be a gray life, Jie Zefu said that it formed a ring again, and this kind of life is precisely the life in the film. The husband has already experienced the life, so in order to prevent others from suffering the same fate, he turned his gun at himself. This shot was not to save the world, but to save a child, a special child. A child who may be alone for a lifetime. My life is destined to start from now forever. My life is my choice. Life or death is either luck or misfortune. It only serves me. In the film, we see that Uncle Bu is right in at least one thing. Putting aside the boring nonsense about time travel is a waste of life. If reason cannot have the ability to restrain evil, then let us return to true feelings.
In the past, the future, the present, every second, in fact, we are killing ourselves, we will always live in a mixture of unknown and known, we live in loneliness, we live in a huge gap, so we despair, We are selfish, we attack each other, and we love each other, because this is human, not a computer that only knows to explore the mysteries of the universe, before we think about it, we are first of all a human being. . Similarly, before deconstruction, film is, first of all, an art.
