There are several very important clues in the plot that have been shelved, which is confusing.
1. The legend about the mysterious island in the plot
According to the description of the people in the play, the British missionaries landed on the missionary island and brought traces of human beings to multiply, but the ZF at that time stopped the supply of the island, resulting in the residents of the island overnight. disappear. But there is a clue left, a word similar to Croatoan, the word of this person should be the clue of the whole film. Too bad it didn't make it clear in the end.
2. The inference about original sin
Personally, I believe that the theme of the film is similar to the religious original sin theory. There is a scene that I don't know if everyone has noticed. The little girl who appeared at the end actually appeared more than once. When she first appeared, the camera flashed by when the male protagonist was in the car and another man called for help, but he did not open the door to save him. It finally led to the disappearance of the man...
At that time, the little girl saw it, and the camera gave a quick close-up.
According to the biblical description, every human being is born sinful, and we must be continually original sin. The sin of the male protagonist is to see death.
In addition to him, the sins of other people in the story also exist, but the director has taken it lightly. Do you remember the description that the female doctor shared with you when she found the bar, saying, "I am a doctor, I have committed sins, and if my child is to be redeemed, I hope I can replace him." Maybe because of translation, or for other reasons, this passage has been taken lightly.
3. Everything you see when you
die Almost everyone is different when they die.
Let's recall carefully the scene when Paul, the projectionist at the cinema, died. The secret passage behind that door. At the beginning of the film, the reporter, the male protagonist, once saw the door and wanted to open it, but was stopped by a black kid with a gun. After that, the description of the door stopped. Until Paul's fantasy when he died, he saw a long and narrow aisle behind the door...
He entered the aisle, but the fact is that he didn't enter, his body stayed on the pool table and disappeared, leaving only clothes...
It's a pity that the director did not describe these details clearly, and the final explanation was vague, not even a word.
In addition, when the female doctor died, she also saw a vision.
Do you remember the satellite video that the male protagonist saw when he went back to the TV station? A survivor in Chicago described what happened, "I saw my dead brother calling to me in the dark." It
can be seen that everyone sees a different scene when they die, and it is basically the people they care about most and everything they care about.
And these, in religious theory, are called desires.
Desire is terrifying, and the appearance of disaster is to destroy human's longing for desire and to demand the price of human sins, which is original sin.
4. Analysis at the end The
boy is hiding in the church, and the candle is gradually extinguished. But he did not disappear, and finally saw the sun the next day.
The girl said, "That's my bed" The
story goes here, and I already feel weird. Who would live in a church and make a bed there? Then where are her parents?
The girl seems to know how to survive, but she can live with certainty when everyone disappears.
Of all the disappearing people in the story, the boy is the only one who will disappear but not. why?
There is only one reason.
Everyone in the most desirable "born" when the choice is the desire of his heart ... That is family, personal, love ......
but only boy longing for "life" when, desperate select the "God"
we think back, he Desperately rushing into the church, even for the sake of her mother, she would rather rush into the church regardless of death.
Maybe this was the reason why he was able to live.
When the little girl said, "This is my bed," the boy gave her the bed and turned to leave.
The girl said again, "Actually, you can stay."
Everyone scrutinized the meaning of this sentence. The girl did not say this sentence for no reason. It is similar to amnesty and rescue...
"As long as I'm here, this light won't go out..."
This is by no means a simple toy, what kind of person can say such awesome words.
So I never think of the girl as a survivor, she is more like an observer, observing everything about everyone and deciding who lives and who dies.
At the end of the story, two people go to Chicago on horseback... Chicago in the
film refers to the land of living hope, two people are not riding horses, this strange means of transportation. When the girl was leading the horse, do you remember the apples scattered on the ground?
In the Western concept, apple refers to desire.
What the director wants to express is actually too deep, and the expression is monotonous and somewhat religious, so it is basically impossible to understand.
5. It's absurd to have to mention the disgusting embedded ads in the show
, that is, the one where all cars are turned off and only one car can be used. The male protagonist replied very well, "Because it's a Citroen car..."
Rely on it...
If the plot of this drama can be played well, it should be a very good script, but it's a pity that the director's grotesque thinking is so good The plot has become nondescript, it's a pity...
