I tend to think that instead of traveling, he lives in his own fantasy world, a world that gives him the opportunity to go back in time and face himself and his doubts. The problem is, the world is too perfect in some details, yet full of holes. Just like he held the hand of Annie who hurried upstairs, and asked helplessly and doubtfully: You have sand in your hand, you just fell down, why do I have to imagine such useless details one by one? But what about the doctor's condition analysis and the mother's call in 2006 that he was undoubtedly the only one to hear? Sam spends a lot of time defending his principles and looking for the truth, but he can't tell if the world he lives in is real or fake. This drama reminds me from time to time of the dead zone I watched earlier. The male protagonist of dz once woke up one day and found himself in a completely different world, everything was so beautiful, nothing was lost, and he couldn't help but doubt that the previous life was just a dream. reality! What is real? Annie always argues to him: we are real, we are not your fantasy game characters, it is not me who walked out of this room, after you closed the door, I disappeared with a bang! But who can be sure of this? Even if you wake up every day in the same bed you are familiar with, even if you face the same familiar people every day, even if you pass by the same place every day, who can really guarantee that this is all real? Occasionally, I have such doubts in my mind, but I don't have as many opportunities for doubts as Sam.
This is supposed to be a crime movie, and it's not good enough from a crime movie standpoint alone. This is also a film that I don't know how to describe in detail. From this perspective, it's very good.
