So, the movie started.
1. About the plot. (Don't enter if you don't like it)
Actually, the timeline is very clear, because I read this story a few years ago.
The protagonist is me. But the whole world is divided into several periods of several me. Then different mes at different times interweave and influence each other, and then continue to move in the established direction of development. However, there is no beginning and no end. That's the subtlety. Like a Möbius ring. But I don't think it's indicative of reincarnation, let alone fatalism.
Suppose it starts from birth - ends at the end of my old age being shot (in fact, there is no such order, but one of the A lines can be explained, analyze it in terms of age)
I was born (female) - I grew up young (female) - Me when I had a daughter after a one night stand and was stolen (female, but know there are male characteristics too) - Me when I was chatting with the bartender (became male) - Back in 1963 with the bartender who wanted to assassinate an irresponsible man for a one night stand I (male) - I knew that I met a woman back then (male) - I knew everything and then worked as a time and space agent (male) - I was almost assassinated on a mission mission as an agent, and then disfigured (male) - After repairing, I became another One-faced me (male), received to assassinate terrorists (male) - dressed as a bartender to recruit new recruits at a bar (male) - to steal a baby and put her in a 1945 orphanage (male) - Going to assassinate a terrorist and then the disfigured me (male) of the person to be assassinated - Announcing retirement and going to the me (male) who settled in 1975 - Discovering that the terrorist is me - Going to the old terrorist and shooting it The me he was - the me who ended up being a terrorist myself.
This is roughly the order. But it's just A line, where the B line/C line is interleaved. But each line will be the same process as the A line. In fact, what I can't accept is that I fell in love with myself and had a one-night stand with a child. Incredible. What exactly does the author want to show?
In each period of time, I actually know what happened before, but I don't know what happened after. For example, the middle-aged bartender of a bar knows me from the young and middle-aged period who came to drink, because the bartender has experienced that period. So, I'm still going to make that decision to let myself go back and forth. Finally, the middle-aged me said to the old me: I will not be you. The old me said to the middle-aged me: The only thing we have is to live with each other, and this is the only thing we have ever had. Does it mean that in this world, I can only have me, and I am a lonely existence?
2. About me.
There is only one role globally. it is me. Who am I? This is the biggest proposition the movie gave me. I was my mother, my father, my daughter, and my friend. I stole me, and I was my own marriage introducer. I became my own assassin. Finally, I shot myself. what is this? What exactly does this mean?
At the end of the film, when I know everything and I want to break this Mobius ring, I see him pointing a gun at his older self opposite. I think that when I was old, I actually had all the insight. In fact, I couldn't break through it, because the middle-aged self standing opposite me was as ridiculous as what I once did. Here, I am both me and not me. At each stage, I didn't feel that the person on the opposite side was me, so the middle-aged me said later: I know where I came from, but where did you return souls come from? He didn't think it was created in time travel. He has always felt that I have only this moment of me, but there is no other stage of me.
Story aside, what role have I played to myself in my life? When I don't know what will happen in the future, what affects me now is my past, and what affects the future is my present, layer upon layer. That's not Mobius, that's Domino. I don't think Mobius is destiny, every cycle is a new level. Every level wants to have a better life than the last. Maybe the movie doesn't look like that, and every ending is full of despair. I love myself, just as the middle-aged man in the film said to the young me: I love her too. I shouldn't have this kind of life, but I can't kill her.
The video is not without bugs. But I don't talk about bugs, I only talk about my understanding of myself.
3. About breakthrough.
Can we break out of this cycle? It looks ok. For example, I in a middle-aged bar sent me, who had turned into a man, to 1963. When he found out that he met me as a woman, if the male me shot and ended the female me at that time, at least not the next cycle. But can not do, I can not otherwise my own existence at any time. Whether that existence would make sense or not. I love myself and I allow my existence in any state. So, the story goes on in a tragic cycle.
Maybe when I look back today, I say to myself: If I go back to that day, can I change myself? The video tells us that it seems impossible. I can't change it because that's my life. The regret of the present will not bring about any change. What I want to take is my life. Even if the future me tells me how the future will be, I still will not listen, right? This is the blind stubbornness of man. Therefore, it should not be to break through, but to decide by yourself. decide for yourself. The decision of the moment affects the future. Every decision is so consistent. This is me, and this is the process I have to go through. I call it a journey without a purpose. Round and round, everything is just like this, moving forward in similarity, endless and endless. It can also be expressed as a state of chaos and fractal. So history is always strikingly similar, but every time, there is always a slight difference that pushes the journey forward.
