Luke's desire to survive is very strong! After seeing the incomplete information from the studio, he was convinced that Chicago was a place to live, and he continued to aim for it, never giving up until the moment he drove into the church. The moment the lights went out, the faith in his heart also went out. In fact, this is foreshadowing. After he was desperate for the poor guy on a cyclist (who also lost faith because of his desperate action), the little girl suddenly ran away twice, which foreshadowed the cup of this car.
Paul is the only one who knows what happened, but is puzzled by his beating and his sudden appearance outside the station ╮(╯_╰)╭ He believes in the occult and believes that there is an unknown force driving this event. So his curiosity led him into a dark hallucination (or rather dark influence), and he was eager to know what was behind the door, hence the bright sewer in the second hallucination (his first hallucination Showed up at the station, remember), but his faith was shattered when he opened the door to find a dead end, and he was devastated and heartbroken. So the light will gradually go out, and his faith will gradually drop to the lowest point, until it is overwhelmed.
The heroine is a doctor, and an incompetent doctor (who ever saw a doctor smoking at work?!), who has always believed in religion and God. But the only belief in her heart was her child, which had been repeated many times. She also experienced two hallucinations, the first time she was awakened, and the second time (when looking for wine) she rushed out without hesitation. It was also foreshadowing: Before she and Luke started the car, she had seen an empty crib, leaving her in a trance. And when she saw the crib for the second time (the background was dark but the bedside was bright), she ran over and found that the baby was gone, so her belief collapsed, and it was swallowed up at the speed of a few pieces, showing that she was desperate .
The black kid James... This character is one of the male protagonists. He survived the first three days because of her mother's belief... Then he also fell into a hallucination, but was woken up by Paul later. It must have been a hallucination when he suddenly rushed out of the car, right? Otherwise, Luke's cry will not be heard. There's a vague shadow in the church, and I can vaguely hear her mother calling him~ If Luke hadn't rushed in, he'd probably have disappeared too = =+ (Children are so annoying—!) But in the end, he Always stick to yourself and not be swayed by darkness, so the belief is immortal?
That little girl and her magical solar flashlight... can only be said to be a BUG! Absolutely invincible BUG! A solar flashlight that never goes out? It can only be said that she firmly believes that the flashlight will not be extinguished... Such idealism!
That horse...and the cats and birds that have appeared in the past, is it a symbol of nature? Those who can only take away people with complex thoughts and full of various desires? I don't know~
There are still many small details that are temporarily incomprehensible... For example, the car in James' hands, Paul's three days without memory (reappearing after being swallowed), and finally muttering the three shadows of I am exit ( Obviously the three missing protagonists! Is it the legendary resentment)? Waiting for the director's cut version interview!
PS. Voiceover, about the word croatoan
there have been similar cases in American past history! 1500's on Roanoke Island, once home to hundreds of inhabitants. They lived there until they mysteriously disappeared one winter. No one knows what happened to them, the only clue is a word on a tree: croatoan. This event is mentioned in Stephen King's novel "The Storm of the Century". Also
mentioned in dean koontz's "Ghost".
On August 17, 1590, John White set off from England and finally arrived at Roanoke Island after a long sea journey. Trees flourish. In the bright sun, parakeets were flying between the branches. White will soon be reunited with his daughter Eleanor, son-in-law Ananias Dyer and granddaughter Virginia Dyer, the first child of a British couple born in America. There were over a hundred immigrants in their colony, and White was their governor. White, who was also an artist, spent much of his time in the colony drawing detailed maps and sketches of native American flora, fauna and people.
White's colony was not the first European attempt to settle on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. The first all-male expedition was to find a suitable place to live, leave 15 people behind, and send ships back to pick up a new wave of colonists, including women and children.
The adventurers who returned from the New World tried their best to paint the New World as a picture of boundless adventure and wealth, which played a good publicity role. Arthur Barlow, one of the captains of the original expedition, described North Carolina as a beautiful garden full of fragrant flowers. This land is "the richest, sweet, healthy, and fertile place in the whole world." The Native Americans are "gentle, loving, loyal, and free from hypocrisy and treacherous." . It would be the first American colony to house women and children. The British believed that Roanoke Island could become a new England only if complete families were settled.
In fact, the natives of Roanoke Island did start to be kind to these European immigrants. But just after the British ship left, Ralph Lane, the commander of the first colony, treated the natives rudely, causing a dramatic shift in their attitudes toward these Europeans. Just as Barlow used his tale of the kindness of the natives in the American Garden of Eden to lure new adventurers to North Carolina, the Indians began to attack the outsiders. Fifteen members of the original colony were lost and never found.
Meanwhile, a second group of colonists, including White and his family, are heading for a new land and a bright new future, unaware of what's going on there. Their plan was to pick up the 15 people left behind in the first colony and then sail on to the Chesapeake Bay, where they would establish a new town. But when they arrived at the original colony, they saw only abandoned and charred houses. Frustrated, they did not return to the boat, pitched tents where the former colonists had settled, and stopped walking along the beach.
It took them a month to clear land, divert water, and rebuild houses. A month later, when each family was in the comfort of their new home, they sent ships back to England to procure supplies. When John White kissed his daughter and boarded the ship, he had no idea it would be their goodbye. The entire voyage would have taken only 3 months, but war broke out between England and Spain, and all available ships were requisitioned to fight. It took more than three years before he was allowed to return to his family and friends in the Americas.
White did not look forward to a happy family reunion. He stepped on the gravel road, and his voice sounded like a horn. He stopped - no response. He walked slowly into the previous settlement, only to see an abandoned fortress, several metal objects, and a pillar inscribed with the three letters "CRO". After a while, he found another message inscribed on another tree: "Croatoan".
It was no use looking, but White was sure he knew what the message meant—the colonists must have gone to Croatoan Island to live with friendly Native Americans. He implored the captain of the expedition to sail to Keroutoan to find his family. But before they had time to map out the sailing route, a hurricane tore off one ship's anchor, and other anchors were thrown up and down, and the captains were afraid of being smashed by the anchor. They refused to stay one more minute off the coast of the Carolinas and immediately returned to port to refurbish their ships and spend the winter. That gust of wind has kept the fate of the Roanoke Islanders a mystery. The word "Croatoan" inscribed on the oak stump remains the only clue to this famously missing colony. It stood as a historic monument until 1778.
What the hell happened to these colonists? They were probably also damaged by the weather. By studying tree rings, scientists found that between 1587 and 1589 the east coast of the United States experienced extreme drought, the driest period for that region in 800 years. When food became scarce, the unprepared settlers either starved to death or fought wars with neighboring tribes over resources. Some scholars believe that the colonists were captured by the Indians and sold into slavery. Others imagine things are much calmer. Probably the British moved inland, into friendly Native American territories, intermarried with them, and then gradually dispersed.
A group of archaeologists from the First Colony Foundation hope to solve the mystery. They began digging at Fort Raleigh Park, looking for artifacts and clues. One of the problems is that no one is sure exactly where the First Colony was. Vegetation, sand, and possibly even water have completely covered the footprints over the years. Groundwater archaeologists believe the island may have sunk below the surface at a height of 400 meters.
Yet some history buffs are grateful for the gust of wind that prevented White from exploring the fate of his family. "I've been saying, if this mystery never gets solved, I'm just as happy," Phil Evans, one of the founders of the First Colony Foundation, told National Geographic. "As long as the missing colonies don't get Explain, and a lot of people will be fascinated by it...they study history. I don't want to take away the mystery."
