How would you react if one day you found that you couldn't really die any more, no matter how you died, you would eventually start all over again?
Our protagonist today, Nadia, experienced just such a thing.
The heroine Nadia is a game designer with a genius brain.
But he looks like a little jerk and acts a little jerk, but he is actually kindhearted.
It was her 36th birthday party, but she wasn't happy at all.
Because her mentally ill mother died at this age.
Although her heart is ups and downs, she has always been good at whitewashing peace.
After smoking a k-powder cigarette prepared by a friend, I randomly pulled a divorced uncle to have a birthday cannon.
Everything is going well, anyway, as long as the acting is good enough, life can be lived by pretending.
But!
God (screenwriter) couldn't get used to the heroine's attitude, so a car accident killed the heroine, and the whole play finally knocked the heroine back to the party a few hours ago.
At first, the heroine thought that she was just sucking k-fans out of hallucinations, or that she had always been afraid of being mentally ill like her mother.
But after dying again and again (I bet the heroine fell to her death four times on the stairs just because the screenwriter was lazy), the heroine realized:
He was really caught in a cycle.
Death no longer means an end, but a new repetition.
The heroine who has accepted the reality has a big heart. She has to make waves and make appointments in the cycle again and again, and she doesn't delay anything.
But why did I say she was kind before, because even in the reincarnation that would reset, she always went to deliver shoes to the homeless to find shoes, and every day she did not forget to remind her adoptive mother that there was a gas leak in her house to prevent her adoptive mother from dying of gas. explode……
until one time,
She met the same ill-fated male protagonist.
In the elevator fall incident, the two people who said that they had died many times in a bland manner knew that they had met the right person after checking their eyes.
Now that the protagonist group is assembled, according to the routine, it is time to enter the stage of solving puzzles and fighting monsters.
In order to leave the reincarnation, the two had to reveal all their experiences.
Then opened up, as well as his closed heart.
Unlike the heroine, the man's repeated day is tragic.
The female protagonist is always on the day of her birthday, while the male protagonist is always stuck on the day of being broken up.
But the male protagonist is also quite weird. As an obsessive-compulsive disorder, he enjoys this process very much.
Because everything can be done step by step without the slightest deviation.
In order to achieve this goal, he even broke up with his girlfriend 15 times.
(Go to your girlfriend every day and wait for her to break up!!! You are so poisonous, but you are too embarrassed to ask why God is trapping you?)
However, the road to decryption of the male and female protagonists did not go smoothly.
The two heartless two fools first denied each other's stupid guess.
And then all kinds of lingering between their old lovers/old rivals,
Anyway, the back and forth cycle never does the right thing.
It wasn't until the male and female protagonists were combined (yes, that was the kind of combination you thought) that I finally found some clues about reincarnation.
It turned out that the first cause of the male lead's death was suicide, and he was cowardly and never dared to face life.
And the heroine has never stepped out of the shadow of her mother, she used absurd disguise and deceived herself.
Most importantly, they stood idly by each other's death on that fateful night.
The truth is revealed!
Only then did the male and female masters understand,
Only when you go back to that night and change your behavior,
get everything back on track,
to break this cursed cycle.
Whisper BB: Don't look at me making it so clear, the later episodes of this show use a lot of nonsense professional terms to explain the ins and outs of the show! !
Time loop is not a very novel setting, but this meme has been brought to the screen again and again.
In fact, the point of this stalk is not that life will not come again, but that life will eventually end.
Death is a meaningful thing, and what makes life special is not just one time, but limited time.
And all such time loops must have a purpose.
"Groundhog Day" is to change the attitude of life, "Happy Death Day" is to find the real murderer. The show is a combination of the two, allowing the protagonist to find out why he's stuck in a loop and make changes.
Behind these purposes, there are hidden ideas that the director and screenwriter want to convey.
Just like the original name of the show, "Russian Dolls", implies:
In the cycle of time, the inner world of the protagonist of my heart is opened layer by layer, telling us to learn to look directly at all the pain and reconcile with ourselves. Only those who let go of the past will have the future.
But in addition to what the show wants to express, what touched me more in this show was the attitude of the hero Allen in the first 15 reincarnations when he met the heroine.
He followed step by step, as if he was going through a pre-set stand-alone game.
What's even more frightening is that I found that my life seemed to be no different from his senseless reincarnation, being pushed forward repeatedly and boringly.
If I don't make changes, will my world also decay and eventually lead me to doom?
Although we all know and understand a lot of truth, we have never lived our own life well.
But I still hope that all of us can at least work hard for ourselves like the protagonist.
