Stanford 2022-06-18 18:53:02

This is a sci-fi suspense movie "Accidental Space" with an infinite loop of time.

It's a bit similar to "Previous Destinations", with the same beginning and end, forming a closed loop.

(Contains spoilers, in-depth analysis, don't mind reading.)

The opposite direction of the lens follows the steps that "extend" downward.

Going down all the way down, finally a pair of feet appeared in front of the camera.

When the camera continued to move upwards, it was discovered that it was an old man in a wedding dress.

The old man also held a red notebook firmly in his hand.

As soon as the scene changed, a newlywed couple walked into a hotel with a sweet smile.

Arriving at the elevator entrance, the groom picked up the bride and kissed her without affection.

The elevator in front of them slowly opened and closed again.

The picture plunges into darkness, and the whole chapter of the story begins.

The story begins with a policeman going after two thieves.

After chasing into a corridor, the police shot the thief's brother in the foot.

Suddenly a big explosion was heard.

The police wanted to take them back to the police station.

But unexpectedly, all the doors could not be opened.

And throw the key from under the corridor, the key will fall from above.

The police and the thief brother were trapped in the corridor.

Uh... It's the kind of "sleepy" that goes down from the "1" floor to the "9" floor, and goes up from the "9" floor to the "1" floor.

Is this the legendary ghost hitting the wall?

There is a vending machine in the corridor.

Surprisingly, food and water were taken from it today.

It will resume tomorrow.

In the end, the thief's brother died, and the thief's brother pointed a gun at the police, and the scene changed.

The camera jumps to a small family, a hamster is having fun on a running wheel, a boy is doing his homework, and a little girl and a middle-aged man are playing magic games on the bed.

The little boy's name is Daniel.

The middle-aged man is the stepfather of Daniel and his sister.

Their family is going to travel far away.

Packed up my luggage and drove off.

On the way, a large explosion was heard in the distance.

My sister's breathing suddenly became difficult and she had an asthma attack.

Unexpectedly, the asthma machine was broken by his stepfather, and the spare Daniel forgot to bring it.

Thinking of saving her sister, my mother suggested to turn around and go home.

Then, keep passing the "Jacob's Hut" sign, yes, "again"...

"Again, again" passed the gas station.

In the end Daniel's sister died.

Stepfather got out of the car to see if anyone was there and went to ask for help.

Mom is crazy.

The second story is also caught in an infinite loop of "highway".

A place that seems not far away, but can never be reached.

The screen suddenly jumped back to the corridor.

The hallway was full of snacks.

Stacked with books.

and piled with excrement.

The subtitle suddenly says "35 years" later.

The policeman and the thief brother have been trapped for 35 years, and the policeman has become an old man.

Due to the lack of exercise and nutrition for a long time, plus his age.

There is no way to stand up and walk, and can only slowly climb the stairs.

The thief brother is very self-disciplined.

Running in the corridor, doing push-ups, doing squats.

Develop a good habit of fitness and create a full body.

Although the police and the thief brother had some grudges before, they have always been with each other for 35 years.

The police wanted to go to the toilet on the floor specified by the two, and the thief's younger brother would also help.

The picture jumps back to the second "highway" story.

Cars and roads are littered with rubbish.

Here is the same long time of 35 years.

My mother had a nervous breakdown, and my stepfather wandered around doing nothing every day.

Daniel, who is already a middle-aged man, is living a serious life.

Set up a tent and eat nutritious food when hungry.

If you are bored, you can also listen to songs to pass the time.

Daniel went hiking with his backpack.

Daniel took out the asthma machine that appeared again today from his backpack and threw it in the same place he threw it every day.

If only I hadn't forgotten to bring a spare asthma machine for my sister.

The elderly stepfather finds the middle-aged Daniel.

At this time, the camera was given to middle-aged Daniel for the first time.

Daniel is the cop in the first story.

The stepfather said there was an important thing to tell Daniel.

That's what people are like when they're old, Daniel." The policeman in the corridor actually said the second half of his stepfather's sentence.

Suddenly his eyes widened, Daniel? How did he know the name?

The policeman remembered something very important and shouted the name of the thief's younger brother.

The policeman realized that he was dying, and he remembered everything before dying.

What he draws are things in his mind, but none of them exist.

These 35 years of being lost also do not exist.

He remembered that his own real name was not Marc Antonio Molina.

It's Daniel. The names he'd been chanting before going to bed were all wrong.

It was he who shot his brother and created the staircase's predicament.

Changed the second half of my life in reality.

This is the second dilemma he enters.

The first dilemma is on an endless road.

At that time, Daniel was still able to live as well as a thief brother.

When his mother died, he buried her with his stepfather.

Daniel is dying.

Just like when their stepfather was dying, only then could they remember everything.

The stepfather told Daniel at the time that Daniel had been living with self-blame for forgetting to give his sister an asthma machine.

But he didn't need to feel guilty all the time, it was all fake.

Everything is a lie, they just live in a lie all the time. All dilemmas have similarities.

Stepfather's real name is Reuben. When he was ten years old he was on a bamboo raft with his friend Juan, but the boatman caused an accident.

As in the road woes, the stepfather broke the asthma machine.

In the staircase predicament, Daniel shot and wounded the thief's brother.

After a person's life was threatened, a violent explosion announced the beginning of the predicament.

In the endless sea, Juan bleeds to death.

My sister suffocated to death.

The thief brother bled to death.

All predicaments require human sacrifice to awaken.

The stepfather had been floating on the water for 35 years, when he cut off a piece of bamboo and put it on him.

But when he got into the red car, carrying Daniel's family.

Looking at Bamboo Cut but not thinking about the past 35 years.

Daniel put the "K of Hearts" from the small playing cards in the bag.

But when he entered a new predicament, he looked at the cards and couldn't remember the past 35 years.

The boatman told his stepfather everything before he died.

The first 35 years were spent by boatmen on an endless train.

I don't remember the truth until I'm dying.

He advised his stepfather not to get on the red car.

Otherwise, you will forget everything before and enter the next predicament.

But the stepfather did not listen.

When the boatman dies, the water woes come to an end.

After reaching land, he got into a red car.

At this point, he completely forgot who he was.

Then follow the settings on the red notebook in the car.

Picked up the Daniels and then caused a road quandary.

70 years wasted like that.

The stepfather advised Daniel not to get into the police car, otherwise Daniel would accept the new setting like him and start the next predicament.

Daniel also persuaded the thief's younger brother to write down his name, otherwise he would forget it.

Also let the thief brother never take the elevator.

Both stepfather and Daniel got into trouble twice, for a total of 70 years.

But these 70 years cannot be said to be wasted.

Because none of this happens in reality.

They all exist on the opposite side of life, and they are all in other dimensions.

Live happily and happily.

And in this space they are trapped in eternal hell.

The reason why Daniel has two completely different life attitudes in the two dilemma spaces.

That's because he's young in the road woes.

Young people are better able to spend the first 35 years.

Just like the thief brother, even if there are various disappointments in life.

But young people can still go on and enjoy life.

But in the second stair dilemma, Daniel was 45 years old (Daniel began to be stuck in the road dilemma for 35 years when he was ten years old, and he was 45 years old when he got out of the road dilemma) and began to be trapped in the corridor dilemma.

All expectations for the future are gone, and you can no longer enjoy life, and you will be stuck in the past forever.

As shown in earlier paintings by Daniel.

Young Daniel paints the present, while old Daniel paints the past.

They don't forget the past, so they live in the dilemma of the past.

Daniel told everything to his younger brother, hoping that his younger brother would not repeat the same mistakes.

Help him end this and not start the next one.

Otherwise, when he remembers who he is again, he will regret it as he does now.

After saying everything, the stepfather took out his red notebook from his trousers bag and passed away.

Same goes for Daniel.

That's when Daniel buried his stepfather.

He got up and walked towards the tent, and sure enough, a police car appeared on the road.

Daniel looked inside the car, no one was there.

Because of his stepfather's advice, he still walked away.

If a man has never seen the light, perhaps he can always be content with the darkness.

But Daniel can't rest on his laurels when he sees hope that can get him out of the road.

Bring the hamster with a bag and come to the police car.

The moment he opened the door, he seemed to be possessed.

Put down the hamster and bag, and got into the police car.

The same goes for my brother, when he is the only one left in the predicament.

The only hope of escaping this predicament appears (the elevator).

Because of the advice, he kept trying to calm himself down.

Don't think about elevators and struggle too.

I want to end it all by suicide.

But in the end, unable to resist the temptation to escape from the predicament, he pressed the elevator.

Daniel in the police car stopped and looked at the co-pilot, where he had everything he needed for his new identity.

The same brother saw everything in the elevator that belonged to his new identity.

A hotel attendant's costume, a live bee in a small box.

Daniel's red notebook records information about the thief's younger brother and older brother.

and how to use the pistol.

The thief's brother's red notebook records information about a newlywed couple that begins the film.

And how to break the medicine in the bag and release the bees in the small box.

Daniel cut his long hair, shaved his beard, and put on a shirt and suit.

Turned into police officer Marc Antonio Molina.

The thief brother put on waiter clothes and became waiter Carl.

Completely accepted the new setting, waiting to create a new dilemma.

The screen turns.

As the stepfather and Daniel said before they died.

None of them are real in their predicament.

In the real world, although my sister had an asthma attack on the way.

But they arrived at the hotel smoothly, and the sister didn't die.

When Daniel grew up, he found someone he loved.

He successfully completed his studies, became a police officer, married a wife, and had three daughters.

But the life of the stepfather and mother is not satisfactory, because the stepfather is always reckless.

Their quarrels also increased. His mother eventually left him.

The stepfather, whose family life is not going well, throws himself into the arms of alcoholism and finally chooses to commit suicide.

Why did the road woes start with my sister having an asthma attack and a broken asthma machine?

Because everything is an accidental necessity caused by the stepfather's recklessness and carelessness.

Although that incident, in reality, did not cause the death of my sister.

But no matter in the heart of the mother or the stepfather, the inevitability of that accident must never be forgotten.

One endless complaint, another endless self-blame.

Always live in that event, and in the end have no choice but to end the pain.

And after Daniel of the stairs injured the thief's brother, they walked out from the first floor.

They were successfully brought back to the police station.

The younger brother joined the mutual aid association, determined to be a new man, and started a family to enjoy a new life.

And Daniel, who has been working abroad for a long time, suddenly returned home one day.

When he found out that his wife was cheating, he took out his gun angrily and killed the adulterer.

The stair dilemma started when his brother was shot and wounded, and it corresponds to reality.

After Daniel fired once, his mood changed, and it seemed that guns could solve many things.

After that shot, Daniel was jailed.

Wouldn't the ending have been different if the gun had never been fired.

Daniel spent the rest of his life in prison, and just after being released from prison, he collapsed and died.

The camera returns to after the younger brother walks into the elevator again.

The newlyweds at the beginning of the film enter the elevator.

Sweet and affectionate, the bride asks the thief's brother how long he has lived here.

The thief brother said 20 years. He didn't realize he was lying.

Because he has accepted the new setting.

His name is Karl, he's from Russia, and he's been living here for 20 years.

The newlyweds are going to the 13th floor.

The thief brother offered to take the luggage for them.

The groom readily accepted the offer of the thief's younger brother.

On the 13th floor, the groom took the bride out of the elevator.

The thief brother was behind them, following the instructions in the red notebook.

Release the bees, then drop the groom's bag on the ground.

When the groom walks into the bag and bends over to pick it up.

Hand was stung by a bee.

The thief brother began to panic.

Like Daniel before, he didn't understand why he did that.

The groom is allergic to bees, and the bride is about to take the medicine from the bag, but the medicine has been broken.

A hamster in a transparent box in the newlyweds' duffel bags looked at the panicked three.

The recovered thief brother begins to find a way out with the newlyweds.

But there is no door that can be opened anyway.

The endless corridor is the second dilemma of the thief brother.

endless train.

endless lake.

endless highway.

Endless stairs.

Endless corridors.

Endless escalators.

The film ends at the beginning of the film.

It is the human mind that traps them.

Real people still live outside.

The whole film uses one word to express "thinking and terrifying".

In fact, in reality, we are not living in endless life.

Three points and one line, except for us humans.

It seems that all things are constantly renewed, "reborn" in different ways, in this endless world.

We began to think that we could change the world, and smugly threw ourselves into the struggle.

In the end, he inadvertently began to accept various settings.

Being changed by the world, how come we don't have a mental predicament.
