The movie is quite powerful. I've been looking forward to Jeon Chung Rui's new film for a long time. After watching it, I felt a chill down my spine and I was hooked. The acting skills of the two actresses are online, especially Jun Zhongrui, who finally has a new film after "Burning".
First of all, this is a movie with two female protagonists. In order to facilitate the distinction, we will call Shuyan the first female and Yingshu the second female. To understand the movie, you must first understand the setting of the story:
1. The first female and the second female are the same age, both are 28 years old, and the date and time are the same. For example, the first woman was at 17:00 on November 17th 20 years later, and the second woman was at 17:00 on November 17th 20 years ago.
2. Personally, I think the whole film has only one ending, and the timeline will change with the changes in the past. Note: Only past actions can change the future, and the future can only guide the past.
3. What happened in the past and the future are synchronized, so the whole film only happens after the past, and the future will change accordingly. What has been experienced in the past is what has already happened, and no matter what you do, it only affects the future. The past directly affects the future.
4. The only contact between the first female and the second female is that landline. Only the first female will retain the memory before the change with the change of the past, while everyone else only has the memory of the world after the change.
Let's start the plot analysis:
1. Story introduction:
The story is roughly that 20 years later, the female first changes the future of herself and the female second through the phone.
2. Story details:
1. At the beginning of the story, the girl returned to her hometown, and her mother had cancer at this time, and she was buried with her father after her death. The first woman disagreed, because she always believed that her father's death was caused by a fire caused by her mother's forgetting to turn off the gas after she left (please note that there are foreshadowings later).
2. When the girl returned to her hometown, she found that her phone had been lost, so she had to plug in the landline to call her mobile phone. Unexpectedly, the person who found it wanted a ransom. Immediately afterwards, the first woman received a call from the past.
3. The second girl called her friend, probably because of the confusion of time and space, she called the first girl 20 years later. Over time, the first daughter found out that the second daughter was a person from 20 years ago, and it was the person from this house.
4. The second woman does not believe the first woman, so the first woman proves to the second woman what will happen in the future.
5. One day, the second girl found out that the former girl's family came to buy a house, so she told the first girl's father's voice to the first girl, and the first girl cried and told the second girl that her father was dead. Then the second female has a bold idea, can the past change the future?
6. So the first girl was selfish and told the second girl the time of her father's death, so the second girl showed up to the first girl's house on time and saved the first girl's father. It was a miracle that the scars of the female first disappeared, the mobile phone was recovered, and the short hair became long. The past can really change the future.
7. So the first girl checked the future of the second girl, and found that the second girl was dead, at the hands of the second girl's mother, probably to repay the second girl's kindness, so she told her about the second girl's death. Mom killed her, hoping she could escape death.
8. The second girl avoided her own death through future intelligence and killed her mother instead. Her mother predicted the future. When she was dying, she said that she was forced to kill her in order to prevent the second girl from killing more people in the future. . From then on, the second female began to be enchanted.
9. The second girl had been repressed before, and after killing her mother, she began to liberate her nature, so she invited the strawberry farmer to come to sit at the house, but when he was putting strawberries, he accidentally found the body in the refrigerator, so he was silenced by the second girl. At this time, the strawberry farmer happened to be a guest at the house after 20 years, and suddenly disappeared. In the end, the first woman found out that it was the second woman who killed him, so the first woman questioned the second woman, and the second woman admitted that she used her father's life to blackmail the first woman how to escape the police.
10. The first girl wants to get rid of the second girl's control, so she doesn't answer the second girl's call. At this time, in the timeline of the second girl, it happened that the father of the first girl came to visit the house, so in order to retaliate against the first girl, she killed her father. Because of the immediacy, the future father disappears.
11. When the first girl returned to her hometown, she received a call from the second girl, telling the first girl that she was in her hands when she was a child. Wondering how to escape the police. In order to get rid of the second girl, the first girl checked the accident on the Internet and lied to the second girl. It's a pity that the second girl was lucky and didn't die, so the first girl obeyed the second girl and told her how to escape.
12. At this time, the first woman found that the second woman had disappeared from the news, the second woman had escaped, and the hometown had become a corpse. At this time, the second woman called and told the first woman that in fact, the father died that day not because of her mother, but because the first woman turned on the gas because of watching TV. The father's death was actually because the first woman herself, the first woman and the second woman, both had paranoia and selective amnesia.
13. The first woman found the police record from the police case book. The police and her mother had been to the house that night, and they had a phone call, so she wanted to call and remind her mother to stay away from the house. When she came to the house, she found that the second daughter had survived to the present. So the first woman could only find the phone when the second woman left in the future.
14. Back to the time of the second girl, at this time the mother of the first girl was on the phone, the future girl answered the phone and told her mother to leave quickly, but the second girl was ready to kill, killing the police with one knife and chasing the first girl's mother . In the timeline of the first female, the second female came back in the future and found the first female.
15. The last female second is in the time line. In order to protect the young female first, the mother of female first fell downstairs with the second female and died together. At this time, during the female first time, the future female second disappeared. The next day, the first girl went to the cemetery and found only her father's tombstone. At this time, the first girl's mother came over. The first girl discovered the injury on her mother's body and understood that my mother protected my young me and my future self.
16. The biggest reversal of the film comes. When the female one was walking with her mother, her mother disappeared. It turned out that the second girl in the future had a phone call with the second girl in the past, telling her that she might be killed. In the end, the second woman in the past woke up from a pool of blood, and the first woman was tied to a chair, and the whole film ended.
In fact, the biggest controversy in the film is why the mother disappeared at the end, and why the female one was tied to a chair. I personally think there may be two explanations:
(1) Single world: The second girl in the past did not die in the end, and the second girl in the future has the memory of the second girl in the past 20 years ago. So tell your past self that you might die. (Note that the second girl was injured at this time, which may have been caused by the fight against the first girl's mother in the past, which means that the second girl must not have died in the past) Because the second girl and her mother both fell downstairs, causing the girl to die. The second fell into a coma (or suspended animation), which caused the future female second to disappear in front of the female first. When the second girl in the past woke up from a pool of blood, because the past and future timelines were parallel, when the first girl in the future met her mother, the second girl hadn't killed her mother. Because when the mother of the first woman was killed, the first woman happened to be walking with her mother in the cemetery, so the mother disappeared, and the first woman was imprisoned for 20 years and finally tied to a chair. The ending seems to be the happy ending of the mother-daughter reconciliation. In fact, as soon as the woman answers the phone call, her tragedy is doomed. Because she is just a lamb to be slaughtered and cannot change anything, only the past can change the future.
(2) Normal world: The ending is the same as the single world, but the setting is different. The female one has been jumping to a new time and space, so it can explain why only herself retains the memory, while others only have the memory of this world. So the future female second in this world is not the same as the past female second. The first female should be the one that replaced the current world. She is only controlled by the second girl. As long as the second girl in the past has any influence on her, she will jump to a new time and space.
3. Character introduction
Female 1: Female 1 is a tool person in the whole article. She is led by the nose of female 2. There is no bright spot. She only enjoys the current joy and never considers the consequences. She has her own selfishness. In order to make her life peaceful, she selectively forgets and blames her mother for all her faults. It was also her hope that her father would come back to life, which led to the tragedy that followed. (Park Shin Hye still looks good with short hair!)
Female 2: The plasticity of the role of female 2 is much better, and the brilliant scenes of the whole article are also expressed through female 2. In fact, the second female suffers from mental illness, and personality disorders and delusions are also mentioned in the film, and the whole film is also from the perspective of the second female that her mother abused her, and from the narration of the grocery store owner, it is proved from the side. The mother of the second girl is actually a kind person who really wants to be good for the second girl. Therefore, the scars on his body should have come from self-mutilation. Because of paranoia, the blame is on his mother. After killing his mother, his personality began to awaken, which led to a series of tragedies. (Jeon Jong-seo really killed me too much!)
The mother of the second female: In fact, the mother of the second female is also a character worth exploring. What was her intentions, and did she do anything bad for her daughter? Personally, I don't think she is evil. From the evaluation of her in her grocery store, it can be seen that she is a kind person and a great mother who really thinks about her daughter. She has powerful mana and wants to cure the second female through witchcraft, but unfortunately it doesn't work. Accidentally discovered through witchcraft that the second girl would become a murderer in the future, so she could only kill her daughter with tears. She wants to save more innocent lives. It is a pity that through the change of the first female, the second female predicted that her mother would kill her in advance, and in the end she could only fall under the knife of her daughter.
The full text is complete.
PS: If there are any deficiencies and mistakes, I hope you will point out in your reply, thank you for being able to see the end!

Additional instructions:
1. Regarding the reason for the change of the final house’s scenery, I personally think that it was because the second woman and the mother of the first woman fell down the stairs together during that time period in the past. Because of this incident, the future will change, which does not explain the second woman. is dead, but did not appear in front of the female lead at this moment in the future, so the house setting has changed. After that, the first woman went to the hospital to go to the cemetery the next day and finally met her mother, all of which happened within a short period of time, and the mothers of the first woman, the second woman, and the first woman in the past had not died. In the end, the mother of the first woman disappeared, which proved that the mother of the first woman had died at this time. Whether the female first was imprisoned 20 years ago or is imprisoned now is not clearly stated in the movie, but I personally tend to be imprisoned for 20 years. After all, the mother had disappeared, and the daughter should have been by her side.
2. In the easter egg, the time when the second girl in the past and the second girl in the future talk should be out of sync with the disappearance time of the first girl's mother at the end when the first girl has not arrived at the house. As for why the second girl in the past and the second girl in the future can talk to each other, it may be because the second girl in the past wanted to call the first girl in the future to find a way to hide, but she didn't know that it was already safe, and it was the future self who answered the phone. (This should be the second call between the past female second and the future female second, because the past she asked the future her to inquire about what happened that night, and the future she has already searched and told the past self how to deal with it ) In the end, the second woman wakes up in a pool of blood, kills the mother of the first woman, and imprisons the first woman, and the whole film ends.
3. According to the logic of a single world, because of the damage caused by the second girl to the young girl, the future girl will appear directly, so the two sides must be in the same time and space, that is, a single world. (ps: It is also possible that only the first female is jumping to the new world, replacing the female one who was changed by the second female, so she has no memory of this world, only the one who changed the previous world. This statement is not without Reason, can be understood so, after all, there is no clear explanation in the film).
4. As to why the second girl disappeared in front of the first girl in the future, and the room setting changed, a more reasonable explanation is that the second girl lost her vital features at that time, that is, suspended animation. It also led to the disappearance of the second female in the future and the change of the room setting. (But there is no clear explanation in the film, only conjecture)
