1. There are two parallel spaces, the real and the virtual. Everyone has two real and virtual spaces. Under normal conditions, people's thinking and life trajectories in the two dimensions are the same. The title of the film is the incident. When an accident occurs, the life trajectories of the parties will diverge, and the protagonist of the accident in the virtual space will be isolated and enter a dead end. Most of the film tells about the parties involved in the virtual space after the accident. Why virtual space? Because there are things that can never be eaten, this will not be the real world;
2. The more active the participants in the virtual space where the accident happened, the more active they are in the virtual world, the more happy they will be in the real world, and the more unfortunate they will be;
3. There is a higher being (or mind) in control. Before dying, the fat old man told Daniel not to get in the police car, and the thin old man told Olivier not to get in the elevator. How did they know there would be police cars and elevators? In the film, the fat old man says "they told me to tell you that if you get in the police car you will forget everything...". This "who are they"? It is a higher existence that can control their thinking after an accident, and when they are about to die, let these dying people know about some things and the next layout in some way;
4. Different Little Red Books. Every little red book is different. The fat old man and the thin old man took out their own little red books before they died. Daniel and Olivier both picked them up and looked at them. That's why they believed that what the fat and thin old man said before his death was not just nonsense before his death. The reason why they believed (Daniel's hesitation to open the police car door for the first time, Olivier's first attempt to commit suicide by not pressing the elevator) was because they flipped through the little red book they picked up. What is each little red book? There are pictures of the protagonists of the next story and how one of them was killed.
Why is the little red book not the same? Obviously, when Daniel and Olivier got into the police car and got into the elevator respectively, among the new identity items that were prepared, there was a small red book (with pictures of the characters in the next mission and how to harm people). Tool method), this is the second time they have read the little red book, the first time they read the little red book, they picked it up from the fat and thin old man and looked through it. Therefore, the content of each Little Red Book is different.
5. Amnesia. It's not that the characters are evil, it's that the mind is out of control. When entering police cars and elevators, they lost their memory, and they were involuntarily and behaviorally manipulated for the rest of the injury mission. As the policeman Daniel himself said, he didn't know what happened when he shot, and the shooting was so accurate, it just hit the victim's leg, just like the drawing on the little red book.
6. The bride in the wedding dress in the virtual space should have obeyed Olivier's dying advice during the bee killing incident, and did not take the initiative to get out of the predicament, but was trapped in the hotel on the first floor until she was dying (otherwise she would He will also lose his memory, change to a new identity and only wake up when he is dying, why is he still wearing a wedding dress?). She followed the advice and was trapped on the floor of the hotel corridor until she was dying of old age. When she was dying, the predicament of bees killing was automatically lifted, and the bride came out. At the end of the film, on the escalator, she holds a little red book, which should be the one Olivier got in the elevator. Because she listened to the advice, did not enter the next event;
7. The so-called accident is like a curse passed on. But the bridal bride in the virtual space did not pass the curse. At the end of the film, the old bride gives the hamster to a passing child before she dies. My understanding is that this means that she ended the curse and did not cause an accident to the next person. Taking the initiative to hand over the hamster means giving freedom to the next possible victim. But as I said in point 3 above, people in the virtual space can choose to prevent the next unexpected dilemma from happening, but after all, there is a higher existence that can create unrelated accidents, which is the meaning of the appearance of the little boy at the end—— - Interrupting the curse doesn't create the next accident, but there is always a new accident that happens to people.
