Dead and Alive - "Happy Death Day 2"
Today I introduce an American comedy "Happy Death Day 2".
The title of the film is Happy Death Day2U/Happy Death Day 2 / Happy Death Day to You (2019), alias Death Unlimited 2 Times LOOP (Hong Kong)/Happy Death Day to You (Taiwan).
The series is the first to test two laws about low-budget movies. One is that creativity determines the height, and the other is that good results must have a sequel.
For any low-budget movie, a good idea is half the battle. At the beginning, the first "Happy Death Day", with its unusual setting, told a murder in the traditional sense in a bold and joking way, and the result was a small cost of $4.8 million and won $125 million at the box office.
The box office has good results, and the film party will definitely follow up to make a sequel. In 2017, "Happy Death Day 2" debuted after less than two years. Unlike the dog tail sequel that made a lot of money, this sequel is really more attentive. If the box office is good, there should be a third one.
The story of this part first revolves around the supporting role of the yellow-haired brother Ryan Phan in the upper part. Ryan finds himself trapped in a time loop, panicking and, by coincidence, his roommate's girlfriend happens to be the first heroine, Tree Gelbman. Tree said no thanks, the old lady is experienced and can help you through this disaster.
The Universal Pictures logo that first appeared at the beginning of the film has a hidden easter egg. Three big earths rotate and form into one, and the big logo of the world makes a grand debut. In this short logo, the triple universe merges into one universe, suggesting that the story of this episode revolves around the multiverse.
In the first "Happy Death Day" that year, the unpopular little heroine Tree lived a rather chaotic life on the college campus, always waking up with a hangover and not knowing which bed. Suddenly Tree finds himself trapped on his 18th birthday, killed by the killer again and again, in an endless cycle. Thanks to Carter Davis' help, Tree had the opportunity to break the time loop.
The sequel still revolves around the core idea of time loop. How to set the time loop and how to break the loop becomes the key to "Happy Death Day 2".
If the film is made into the same content as the first film, it will be nothing new, and the audience will definitely not buy it. So the director racked his brains and came up with a new idea.
In science fiction, people have a joke: indecision, quantum mechanics, inexplicable, travel through time and space, not enough space, parallel universe.
Anyway, when you don't know how to make it up, you can just add the most fashionable quantum mechanics. Ah Mie was made to die by quantum mechanics, not to mention the scumbags and scumbags who looked so cute here.
Don't look at the stunned faces of Ryan Phan and Carter Davis when they debuted. In fact, they are all physics majors, and they are tinkering with graduation design quantum reactors. The quantum reactor they designed and built suddenly moved on its own at 0:01 in the morning, causing chaos in the multiverse and disrupting Tree's timeline as a direct consequence.
In this way, the time loop in the first part is explained by the multiverse of quantum theory, and the world view of the story is further enriched. The original stick-style story shone with the brilliance of science, and instantly became taller.
In the same way that the story was told in comedy at the beginning, the horror component in the second part continued to decline. Audiences can hardly feel that this is a thriller, let alone a horror film, which is completely a comedy movie that goes around. Under Tree's energetic performance, death seems to be very happy.
Deciphering the time loop is a constant thread of the series, and another thread is the personal growth of the protagonist.
After dying again and again, Tree and his friends finally figured out the scientific principles behind the multiverse travel. After the time loop worldview is established, the scientific foundation eventually becomes a tool for serving human emotions.
In the first part, Tree rehabilitated and behaved well, from a green tea girl who hooked up with a married man and had an unruly private life to a soft and cute girl who was reborn.
The second part became Tree facing her heart and making a choice. Tree needs to make a more suitable choice in the multiverse, either to choose a good memory with his family or a sweet future with a lover. The key to choice is emotional choice. It is impossible for everyone to occupy all the good things. How to choose depends on personal thoughts.
You can not have it both ways.
Live and die, make choices.
