In fact, the plot is very clear

Those who don't understand but are embarrassed to criticize. Don't blame the movie if you have poor understanding! !

In fact, it is easy to understand:

1. The male protagonist was originally a member of monsters, and these monsters lived by absorbing the fear of human beings. Can't kill one another. One day, the male protagonist has the power to kill the same kind for unknown reasons. He betrayed the same kind and became a human.

2. The monster is afraid of his power that can kill the same kind. In order to make him lose that magical power, he chases and kills him again and again-because other than the male protagonist, no other monster can kill the same kind, so he can only let him The male protagonist loses his memory, reads the disk again and again, and loses his power at the same time. Because he is an alien, he can have an immortal body.

3. Every time the male protagonist wakes up, he will meet the girl he fell in love with before he lost his memory. As long as he remembers that he was in a relationship with that girl, or starts dating again, he will restore his past memories little by little (whether by himself or herself). When the memory is still reminded), the monster will start chasing him.

When he starts his life again, he loses his memory and forgets how he got the power to kill his own kind.

4. Due to the constant reminder from a similar person, the male protagonist finally connects some memories of the past in his awakening again and again. Even if he wakes up again, he will not forget it, forcing the same kind headed by the female alien to have him imprisoned in the hospital. Intimidate and induce him to rejoin them. At the same time, the Alien regains his memory of killing his own kind.

5. The person who helped the protagonist turned out to be an alien who once fell in love with humans. Maybe he didn't have the special physique of the male protagonist and couldn't get that magical power, and his lover was killed by the same kind (the senior said at the beginning that the aliens absorb fear is similar to taking drugs, and can maintain their lives at the same time, which is also related to At the beginning of the movie, it has been hinting whether the male protagonist is related to drug use, but it is better to understand it as "deliberately misleading the audience, so that the audience thinks that everything is the hallucination of the male protagonist after taking drugs").

6. With the help of the senior, the male protagonist remembered that the reason why he was able to kill the same kind was because of love. This love sustains his life and gives him the power to create life and death. However, because he did not absorb the fear and love of human beings during the period of continuous restart, his body was very weak. At this time, the senior alien sacrificed himself and sent his energy to the male protagonist.

7. The male protagonist finally broke out in the small universe and killed his own kind. He killed his girlfriend at the same time as the female leader. The plot setting was off, and the power born from love also gave him the power to create, so he resurrected his girlfriend, and everything started from the day of the football game. toward normal.

Different people have different views on the meaning of the movie, so I won't say much. But for some non-documentary movies, people need to be more imaginative. You can dig out the meaning behind your own, but don’t ask why some too boring questions happened, such as why did you go back to the day of the ball game in the end? It can be understood that the power is very strong, and everything in the movie starts from that day. It's like asking why Crayon Shin-chan has always been five years old. There is something that exists because of the plot of the movie, which is a reasonable irrationality, not a loophole.

Different people have their own set of ideas about the "meaning behind" a movie, and there is no need to go into the depths of whether the director wants to express the same as himself. I would like to share some thoughts that came to me while watching:

1. When I first watched this movie, I thought it was about different lives in parallel worlds, which is very interesting. There is a saying that we have different lives in different parallel worlds. Different life, I initially regarded this as the male protagonist has special powers, and the evil forces need to kill him in any parallel world.

2. The next monsters appear I am reminded of the kind of ghosts in Harry Potter (forgot the name), and at the same time remind me of the so-called alien lizardmen, they also absorb human fear. Maybe this can be seen from that spiritual science perspective, or someone is going to send some kind of message that people should have love and not fear.

The plot is compact, the picture is also full of impact, clean and neat. Although it is not very deep, the creativity itself is enough to see. The most important thing is the sentence that appeared at the end of the film. As for which sentence, I will not say more, because other netizens have already written it, and you will know it after watching the movie.

The Deaths of Ian Stone quotes

  • Ian Stone: You look awful.

    Gray: I could say the same about you.

  • Gray: We feed on their fear.

    Ian Stone: So what are you, like vampires?

    Gray: It sustains us, but we corrupted ourselves. We began feeding on human pain as well, searching for it everywhere. Almost like an addiction. And the fear one of them experiences the moment before a violent death is most potent. Our drug of choice. Once you've tasted it, you never want to stop. You need it more and more, and when you can't find it you have to kill for it. That's what turned us from parasites into predators. You just keeping hunting, waiting to feed again.

    Ian Stone: So how many of them are there?

    Gray: I don't know anymore.

    Ian Stone: Why the hell are these things coming after me?

    Gray: You hurt them. You did something to them and they won't let you remember it until they can work out how to bring you back into the fold... or destroy you.
