Without describing the plot, briefly discuss the theme of the film. In fact, there are only three main actors in this movie. The three characters played by Ryan Reynolds are actually one person, and this person is 9, and the three people played by Hope Davis are also the same person, this person is also a 9, but Melissa McCarthy plays the same person. The three of them are all creations of 9, so she is 7. The biggest question in this film is what is 9? According to Melissa in the second story, human beings are 7, and the fantastic character played by Ryan is 9, and 9 created the world, and all things will be caused by 9 The difference of a thought and the ashes disappeared. But 9 is not God, if God is 10, 9 can be said to be imperfect.
At the end of the film, Melissa also mentioned that human wars are in many ways in your name. At the beginning of the film, she also mentioned, don't trust Hope, because she is also a 9. The names of the three characters played by Ryan all start with G, and Hope only calls him G at the end. It seems that everything is pointing to the word God, but on the contrary, the film only says that he is a 9 at all times, and cannot reach a 10.
So, it seems to find a flaw in the name. Ryan's last name is Gabriel, the archangel mentioned in Judaism, Catholicism, and Islam. Known as the "Left Hand of God", this angel was also the messenger who communicated to the Virgin Mary that she would give birth to her Son, Jesus. And in the eyes of many people, it is also regarded as the angel of death. In the finale, Ryan himself said that my momentary thought can kill hundreds of millions of people. That is, every time a story ends, he remakes the world and everyone in the world dies. In the recreated world, there is always the role played by Melissa, because Ryan likes the person he created so much that he is willing to accompany him all the time and let her experience different events from himself, like Acting is the same, but he is so involved that he is lost and unable to extricate himself.
Due to emotional flaws, he can only do 9, not only he is a 9, Hope is also a 9, maybe there are other 9s, but there are only two 9s in this film, and 9 and 9 are equal, Although Hope wanted Ryan to go back, he couldn't force it on him and had to act with him in the world he created. But is there 10? This film does not say, 10 is perfect, but 9 is imperfect, 10 is unique, 9 can have many, according to various signs, Ryan has two identities Possibly, one is an imperfect God, and without a perfect God, God can only do 9. The other is the angels, they are all creatures of 10, so close to 10 and can't reach 10.
After the basic explanation, I recalled these two identities, and neither one could justify it. Plus, it's a bit old-fashioned to end up with a happy life for Melissa after Ryan goes back. After all, if he is a god, he should love all people, and it is too far-fetched to stay in the world for more than 4,000 years for his own love. Moreover, the film lacks the central idea. If you don't watch it carefully, you will hardly know what to say. The whole film does not express the feelings you want to express, which is a failure of the film.
Overall rating: C-
