The originality of the film is okay, but the setting of the time passing rate inside and outside the enchantment seems to be contradictory. First, let’s sort out the timeline of the film:
1. Time Unknown: The Fountain of Youth is born and discovered
2. The primitive man entered the cave (doubtful)
3. An unknown force created a time barrier to protect the Fountain of Youth
4. Spaniards and other people looking for spring water enter the cave
5. Teach your parents to enter the hole
6. Cowboy hole (doubtful)
7. The professor enters the hole
8 The four protagonists enter the hole
9. The little fat pier goes into the hole
10. The four protagonists were injured and the little chubby duner died
11. Sister out of the hole, the end of the earth
12. Uniform future man into the hole
13. My sister came out of the hole and rescued most of the main characters.
From this timeline, we can find that the setting of the time lapse ratio of this film is suspected to be contradictory.
The first ratio reference: the back view of the cowboy entering the hole can be observed outside the hole. If the cowboy entered the hole early, then the back of the person who entered the hole later than the cowboy should also be visible to those outside the barrier. The protagonist group of four and Fat Duner have not seen anyone else outside the barrier, which either means that other people who have entered the hole recently did not enter the hole from where they entered the hole, or that the cowboy entered the hole very late, so much so that the professor In time to see his back outside the enchantment.
The second ratio reference: the professor fell out of the enchantment and immediately came out of the hole, but at this time the car outside the cave had obviously been abandoned for a long time, and the green plants had climbed into the car.
The third ratio reference: the time spent before Fat Dun'er's death compared to the time spent by the protagonist's foursome. When the four were injured, they were in the hole for several hours, at the same time that Fat Duner was suspected to have spent several days outside the hole. The ratios of Reference 2 and Reference 3 may conflict, with the group of four staying in the enchantment longer, but the time passing outside the cave is slower than what the professor encountered.
The fourth ratio reference, my sister was out of the cave for 30 minutes, and the people in the cave felt that it was only two seconds. Because the time of my sister leaving the cave is short, it seems to the people in the cave that she will come back immediately, so it is impossible to judge whether the reference object 4 conflicts with the reference objects 2 and 3.
The fifth ratio reference: The four-person group first judged that the change of light and shadow was one day, and then judged it as one year. Reference object 5 conflicts with reference object 3, because according to the performance of the film, the light and shadow change several times in a short period of time, so the time should have elapsed for a long time, not just a few days before the group of four contacted the fat duner. .
Reference 5 gives the most definite reference value of the time lapse ratio, but if this value is considered, the legend of the Fountain of Youth may not spread. Because after spending some time in the cave to find the Fountain of Youth, the outside world has long since entered an era that does not belong to treasure hunters. Back to the treasure hunters outside the cave, are you still in the mood to introduce the legend at this time?
In addition, when the primitive man entered the hole is also a question. The primitive people knew the effect of the fountain of youth, which proves that they did not accidentally enter the cave by accident, but they were familiar with the characteristics of the spring water because they visited the cave frequently. It stands to reason that there is no enchantment in the cave in this case, otherwise they have not had time to understand the magic of the Fountain of Youth, and the outside world has changed a lot. However, now that there is an enchantment in the cave, when did these primitive people come in?
Some contradictions can be resolved through brain supplement settings. For example, the enchantment time lapse rate will fluctuate. When the professor entered the cave, the time outside the enchantment passed quickly; when the protagonist group of four first entered the cave, the speed of the passage of time outside slowed down for a while; later, when the fat duner entered the cave, the passage of time in the outside world accelerated again.
There is also a more reasonable solution to explain the contradiction between reference objects 2 and 3: on the surface, it seems that Pang Dun’er has passed a few days and the people in the cave have passed a few hours, but the actual situation can be that Pang Dun’er is very short after the group of four enters the hole. Time (several seconds, minutes) fell into the hole and remained in a coma until he received a contact from the male student. In this way, a few seconds in the cave correspond to a few days outside the cave, which corresponds to the professor's experience inside and outside the cave.
The problem of primitive people can be explained like this: when they entered the cave before, there was no enchantment in the cave, but after a certain entry, the enchantment appeared. After they got out of the cave, they found that the world had changed a lot, so they simply stayed in the cave for some more time or even days, and finally met more people from the later era.
The basic setting of this film is that time passes at different speeds inside and outside the enchantment. However, this degree of "differentness" is not well unified in each scene, resulting in the appearance of various suspected bugs, which is the biggest deduction item of this film in my opinion. Although the BUG can be erased by brain patching, it still seems that the overall setting of the film is too rough.
I think the key for this film to work in the setting is how to represent the passage of time outside the cave. The director can first arrange the timeline of the story outside the cave, and then arrange the timeline of the story inside the cave, mark each event node online, and then observe whether the node distance between the time line outside the cave and the timeline in the cave is basically the same. On this basis, if you think about the narrative method and narrative structure, you will have the opportunity to avoid setting bugs and delaying the overall quality of the film.
