(1) The occupation of the characters in the three paragraphs is
from official part1 to part3, Ryan changed from an actor, to a screenwriter, and finally to a game designer, following the principle of “being controlled by others—moderately intervening in others— Determine the Progressive Trajectory of Others. This hints at the evolution of his sense of self that became God.
And Hope, from neighbors, producers, to travelers, is a companion role, but the role is constantly increasing, especially in the separation of Ryan and Melissa, and they are all successful.
Melissa's role from a movie fan (as if there were other staff members), to an actor, and then to Ryan's wife, is a gradually increasing trajectory of control.
(2) The role of media (mirrors, glass, cameras)
I am more sensitive to media, because the media act as important "props" in the three paragraphs. In part 1, Ryan discovered that he had no belly button through the "mirror". In part 2, the audience conveyed that it is not real through the "glass". In part 3, Melissa and her daughter discovered the problem through the "camera".
I don't know if these are related, but maybe the concept of "image society" plays a role, because in reality we prefer to learn about ourselves and the world from the media.
(3) When the name
sees the ending cast, the three main actors correspond to the three names, that is, their roles in the three parts (I can't remember the specific differences).
But there is Hope in the film correcting Ryan to read his name, maybe it is like the "slip of the tongue phenomenon" in psychology, and the director has left a metaphor here.
(4) nine
The concept of nine appears twice in the film, once referring to the film's rating and once referring to God. I think it's a bit like a comment in another thread: "God created the world, we create God". The director has a similar hint here - the 9-pointer among the fans in part 2 is what Ryan cares about the most, but Melissa in part 1 is the fan, and Ryan is God, so Melissa is God's nine - humans are also indirectly controlling God.
