Because I read some theories about detective novels to find the drama,
But accidentally harvested a touching movie.
Needless to say, in addition to watching the plot, watching a movie is more important to watch the details, watch the continuity, and watch a certain paradigm that the film needs to follow. But as far as I'm concerned, I prefer what I've drawn from each film, and in this case, it's an overwhelming confidence, enthusiasm, and love for life that's almost overflowing and courage. (Hey~ always healed by movies at low point)
About loops
There are many familiar elements in "Happy Death Day", including the murder of puppets, the cycle of time and space, the fragility of friendship, the love of heroes saving beauty... Every point can have many emotions, but the most memorable and perhaps the most metaphorical It is still the setting of "cycle".
Facing a situation like the heroine in the movie, who died again and again on the night of her birthday, and then woke up early in the morning on her birthday, she could never get out.
What if the present moment was very much like our lives—every similar day, every day we see something repeatedly, every desire surged and every moment of pain that we wanted to achieve but couldn’t achieve all at once? Not in an endless loop? Then, when self-doubt, collapse, and pain strike, again, again, again, how much courage do you need to believe in yourself, and how long does it take to explore and get out of the predicament?
Therefore, the heroine's handling method also reproduces the reactions that people may have when facing the difficulties of life-
From fear, to escape, to facing, and continuing to face—
Although "face" does not mean the end, on the contrary, it may be the beginning of hell, failure, and despair, but it still has to be faced. This cycle of abstract mental states based on specific time and space cycles is what makes me feel particularly good.
As far as the content of the movie is concerned, this is the plot need to comfort the audience's psychology. Because it gives people such a hope that as long as they are still doing, things will always turn around; and from the perspective of the narrative style of the artistic medium of film, as McKee concluded, the beauty of film lies in the realization of the characters. Overcoming resistance in the process of one's own desire, and finding stronger resistance after overcoming it, and overcoming it again... This cycle.
touch point
More importantly, "Happy Death Day" also made people discover that there is only one way out-
Because at this time, it is not enough to escape, because "escaping will only make people cold", and it will also "make the result worse";
Indifference, rejection and unfriendliness are not enough, because when a person is cold to the world, he cannot get firm support and warm response;
Relying on indifference and being free and easy is not a long-term solution, because your body and heart will tell you that the injuries you have suffered will never be forgotten, and one day will become a negative burden that drags you down;
——And only by plucking up the courage to cross the sword immediately, keep trying and making mistakes, keep reflecting, keep loving yourself and the world, relying on smiling brightly, relying on sincerity, relying on perseverance, and all the beautiful friendships around you, can you pull you down. Out of the cycle of collapse and despair.
insufficient
Finally, I will talk about my expectations for the movie. I feel that it is a bit strange to find out that my roommate is a murderer. Why do you describe the motive of murder as a competition between women and men? This setting not only destroys the beauty of the film, but also weakens the audience's possible thinking about the lonely and perverted murderer and his motives. So, if the movie culminates in the moment when the heroine kills the murderer - and not the heroine kills her roommate - I think the whole movie might seem less brainy, maybe even a bit vulgar, but But it will make me more memorable.
Is today the first day of the rest of your life? Rather, today is the most joyous and anticipated day! Just to face, to love, to give, to strive to be a world of our own, we deserve everything that is happy?? Hehe
1.31 to add a little more, suddenly thought of some technical aspects of the film
Every morning, the heroine wakes up and turns off the phone every time. Is this repeated action like a metronome an expression of some constant defense mechanism in the heroine's heart? Through escapism and silence, she faced the problem of her life - her relationship with her father.
However, it is useless to escape, after all, you have to muster the courage to find it. The process of finding the murderer is only an appearance, and the process of finding reconciliation with the father and the self is the key point.
