Live to death

Ordinary people like us who have no special endowments will probably never understand what it would be like if time were not nonlinear, but became a tangible dimension like space. When the film is subtitled, there must be a large number of moviegoers who will ask themselves this hypothetical question: if the future is known, what will you do to change it?

This is an old question that sounds a bit boring, but the setting of this movie gave me a lot of new thoughts. Replay in my heart most of the time-based films I have seen. The protagonist seems to be struggling and stubbornly resisting trying to change the fate written in time, such as "Horror Cruise", such as "Timed Shooting", but as the heroine of the film Embracing one's own destiny with tears and a smile makes people feel particularly shocked. I don't know how it feels to live toward death.

But after thinking about it, living is not for death, so life is probably also about the journey. Although there are ruggedness, it will live up to the good time. I think of "Time and Space Traveler", the male protagonist was injured in a car accident by his sister, so he changed history. When he returned to his own space, he found that his child had changed. Because of the butterfly effect, the sperm was not that sperm. , So he finally chose not to change the past and let his child change back.

I think the heroine of this film is the same. When you travel through the treasure-like scenes, your daughter’s hair tips and freckles, flowers and laughter, love and poems, he and her, even if you know she’s in Suffering from rare diseases in the future will leave you, but she is your daughter, the only daughter of you and your beloved husband. Will you choose not to let her come to this world and replace her with another healthy child?

I don't think so.

This is the paradox. When I was young, I seemed to have faced similar essay questions. If you could go back to a certain point, or if you could change what you did, how would you do it? However, what no one tells us is that the sadness you want to escape may also involve joy, entanglement and inseparability, and ultimately become destiny.

I have seen some film reviews that the heroine's perception of the future time is a feeling of memory. I don't agree very much. Language is a mode of thinking. For the heptapod, time is not linear, and there is no need to live by human logic and causality. The heroine has acquired this ability after they have integrated their language. Although she is still living in the field of human cognition and linear time, I think she can go to different time cut-off points, relive segments or moments at the same time, which is probably a sense of out-of-body and touch. Real feelings, not memories that can fade in our minds. So I think she also has a sense of satisfaction that we can't appreciate.

The setting of this film is excellent, but there is a sense of procrastination in the middle. The heroine's cognitive process of language and how the protagonist and heroine can make sparks can be completed better, but because of the setting, I give five stars and will read the original. In addition, this male and female lead...Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner give me the same feelings all the time. They are top-notch and have excellent acting skills, but they don’t have any huge features or cuteness... OK, everything is for setting. !

    Villeneuve succeeded in visualizing and concretizing a high concept that is difficult to interpret on a practical level with his own unique lens texture. The second half of the original work is derailed, which caters to the market, but it is still a successful adaptation; time It's not yet ashes, everything depends on time. "Time without direction" is not the first, just like the last generation of Orellano flipping through the sheepskin hand scroll that writes his own destiny. Your destiny is the ashes of time.
