"Crack in Time"--A journey to the three-dimensional world of the unknown

Traveling back in time under the influence of a certain velocity is often referred to as a time rift.

The poster of the film is more in line with the plot when viewed sideways. A strange aurora appears over the city, like an absolute carnivore cruelly opening its mouth to eat delicious humans. After the ugliness, it is the ultimate magnificence. Humans who are "alive" in our conception of the world will disappear once they walk through it consciously. One end of the time rift is connected to the hope of the living, and the other end is connected to the hopeless rest. The wind stopped the hurried figure, the sound stopped the complicated transmission, the food did not need to return to nature in a hurry, and the signs of life could not be found. Just like the final answer to The Martyrs, what remains here is only endless confusion. Despair and grief are not in confusion, but in perpetuity.

With my poor physical knowledge and racking my brains, I have come to understand the common sense of science fiction. There is a lot of confusion, and too much time is wasted for too long foreshadowing and atmosphere creation, and the connection between the characters is not close enough, but the story itself. The ups and downs of excitement and suspense are actually very worth watching. I have to say that a three-hour sci-fi movie, in the context of its powerful time and space travel, has perfectly let most people retreat, and has done "I won't tell you what you didn't guess, I won't tell you if you don't understand." You, I won't tell you when you should spit blood" is really "eye-opening". Although Stephen King is in charge, since the banner of time travel has been launched, it should be more self-explanatory, rather than being in the conjecture of a science fiction writer character from beginning to end.

How not to be fascinated by supernatural events when you are young, the passengers who returned from the Titanic, the old plane and passengers who were missing for 35 years and returned (it is suspected that this story is adapted from their experiences), Pisces jade pendant, etc., parallel universe or time travel It can make an unworldly and ecstatic and rebellious heart escape the involvement of muscles and nerves, and approaching science is the first episode of the mystery of Kanas Lake countless times when there is no computer at home... .. These have almost all piled up into hopes for this film, so when you see countless "big mouth flowers" with only faces acting as "scavengers" of time, you can imagine the disappointment. The gutter capsize in the last third of the film is largely due to the failure of special effects, because although the ending is a comedy, the shudder after thinking about it satisfies the cognition of the dark side of the truth

To summarize the questions that are not explained at all as an important transition in the film, here I also hope that my understanding can explain it smoothly, and I hope that those who have seen it can point out mistakes:

His acting skills are still good, all kinds of explosions

1. Why does Mr. Toomey see the people on the plane as zombies? The way he used to decompress - why does the sound of tearing paper match the sound of the time scavenger? Why did the time scavenger only kill him and spare the whole plane? Why, as a time scavenger, was known by the people of the earth and became a myth passed down by word of mouth - the Langedores?

Mr. Toomey was actually the one with the most tragic fate among the ten survivors. He was only educated by his harsh and perverted father to beat or scold him. The intimidation he received in his childhood left an indelible shadow in his heart, and he was suppressed. His emotions and personality distorted his correct cognition of the world, so when the plane fell into the time trap and was afraid of wasting time, he was constantly "educated" by his dead father in a hellish way, and the great pressure drove him crazy. The most important thing is that the ending gives us another truth. He tried so hard to go to Boston, and the purpose in his heart was to be a "crippled person", to waste time, lose money, and insult the board of directors. Destroying his own way desperately against the pain his father left him. Although what the people on the plane did was rational, in his opinion, it ruined his chance of rebirth, and he was a cowardly person under the education of being bullied all the year round, so the people on the plane united to use When violence and intimidation subdued him, in his eyes, the planes were all terrifying aliens, and after that, the killer was even less merciful.

The question of sound is more of a doubt about the relationship between the time scavenger and him, I thought it was Toomey's fear that brought these mythical Langdorians, but at the time of life and death who was the fear in the heart Nor will it be less. If it is sensitive to sound, most of the big-mouthed flowers rushed to the airport buildings that were "silent for a long time". If it is sensitive to the dynamic, a big plane flew away and was left alone to make people suspicious?

The Langedore that Toomey's father used to scare his son actually existed, and as described in the description, "big mouth, teeth, calves, fast running, only eat people wasting time". In connection with the crazy working state of his father and son, I suspect that there should be someone in the Toumi family who has also experienced time travel, has seen the time scavenger, and seen the terrifying power of it to destroy the three-dimensional world, so they cherish time and use strict education. to protect the next generation from destruction by this force.

2. Is the blind girl just the Virgin?

At first I thought it was the kind-hearted Little Red Riding Hood, but later I found out that it was the most black-bellied loli. Born blind, she is particularly sensitive to hearing and senses, and can hear sounds that ordinary people cannot hear. Also, the vomeronasal organ is particularly developed, and she can sense dangers that others cannot feel, so she helps everyone. She tried hard to wake up the dying Mr. Toomey, and then used the time when the time scavenger ate him to let the whole plane escape. She knew Toomey's suffering, but eventually lured him to a dead end.

3. Can I take my belongings away through the cracks in time?

Watches, money, earphones, even dentures, wigs, etc. were left on the seats, but the clothes of these missing passengers were not there? Why can clothes disappear together? I guess this question is as incomprehensible as why ghosts wear clothes.

4. Fifteen minutes before and after the time crack?

This is what I cannot understand. In the world in the next fifteen minutes, although the travelers are still empty after they arrive, because of the time difference, this future world will slowly wake up after fifteen minutes. So in the world of the past fifteen minutes, why isn't the world fifteen minutes later a world in which time is slowly reversed -- a world in which people are slowly getting younger, and today knows tomorrow's events? In the past fifteen minutes in the film, the world has completely turned into a three-dimensional graveyard forgotten by time, waiting for the destruction of the time scavenger. In fact, it is still the most important question. Why did all life in the material world abandoned by time disappear? Because according to the question of the man with glasses, at that time, people were all asleep.

5. Parallel universes?

Hawking has denied the possibility of time travel going back to the past, and the speed of the plane is even less likely to catch up with the speed of light, so this plane has only one fate, and that is to fly to another world in a parallel universe. This world is both familiar to them and unfamiliar to them at the same time. Although they cheered and jumped back to the real world, it was just a revelry from the instinct to stay away from the unknown, because if the estimation is correct, the group of people who repeated them in this world has already embarked on the shortcut of death. This time, this A group of people may not have their luck.

In the end, I just want to say that it turns out that Dazuihua was there more than ten years ago! It's still time for a job like a scavenger! This is weaker than eating zombies! What people eat is the whole three-dimensional world!

The Langoliers quotes

  • Bob Jenkins: Let's say that every now and then a hole appears in the stream of time. Not a time-warm. A rip. A time rip. A rip in the central fabric.

    Don Gaffney: That's the craziest thing I ever heard of!

    Craig Toomy: Amen!

    Bob Jenkins: Mr. Gaffney, the situation we're in right now, this is crazy. So let's say that such rips do occur every now and then. It would be similar to rare weather phenomenons that are reported. Upside-down tornadoes, circular rainbows, daytime starlight.

    Captain Brian Engle: The aurora borealis.

    Bob Jenkins: [Bob looks to Brian in surprise] What?

    Captain Brian Engle: There was an aurora borealis over the Mojavi Desert when we left LAX. We were supposed to fly right into it.

    Bob Jenkins: Then that's it. An auroa over the desert. That strengthens my point. If we were to fly into that, and it was a time-rip then that means we're no longer in our own time, ladies and gentlemen.

  • Don Gaffney: [listening to Jenkins' time rip theory] That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

    Craig Toomy: Amen!
