But I would like to add that the virtual world of the three main characters (Reuben, Daniel, Oliver) intersects with the real world. The explosion sound in each story is the separation point between the virtual world and the real world. When everyone is freed from the virtual world in the first 35 years (the other characters in the virtual world are required to die), they record in the red book they got. It is their real-world character settings (including the police uniform for Daniel in the police car and the uniform for Oliver in the elevator), and after another explosion, the virtual world and the real world are separated again. In the last 35 years of each character, life begins to turn until destruction. The life attitude of the characters in the virtual world will directly affect the life direction of the real world, which is established in each 35 years before and after.
Engineering students said that pictures are more intuitive than words, so they made a story development diagram for each character.

Oliver
About what the movie expresses and wants to bring to the audience's thinking, probably no matter what accidents and sufferings you encounter, don't blame yourself too much, and never let the soul be imprisoned in the infinite loop space, otherwise we in the real world, It will only go toward decadence, failure, and death just like the second half of each character's life.
PS: The beginning and end of the movie echo, and after watching it, it will feel like the original. Some shots are still quite unpleasant. Lens detail (both tilted and straightened make sense) is handled well. Many of the lines are philosophical and worth pondering.
