I just discovered this drama yesterday. I watched three episodes, and the second episode was confusing. With contradictory settings, I fell asleep with the persistence of how to make sense scientifically and logically. So when I woke up in the dead of night, I suddenly figured out everything. The following is my interpretation.
First of all, we all made the mistake of explaining the plot too much from a scientific point of view. In fact, this is just a family story with a sci-fi shell. It happens to us all the time, even to us. The whole story consists of two The characters, the male lead and the female lead, and other characters are their different incarnations. Summarizing the characters in the play, the following assumptions are drawn (in fact, it is also my conclusion):
Let’s talk about the male protagonist first, the young male protagonist = the essence of ideals, emotions and souls
Male lead partner (hereafter referred to as Fatty) = male lead's rationality and reality (not that he looks like that)
The heroine is a bit complicated, and the whole is divided into three parts:
The heroine in the dream (the one in the photo) = ideal and soul essence
Granny (including the girlfriend in the newsletter) = reality and emotion
Robot = the sanity of the heroine
Also, spaceship = lie, place assumed to be earth = end of life, harsh environment = storm of truth
The whole story is actually about a man's review of his life and the process of seeking forgiveness for his self-blame at the end of his life. Let me replace the experience of ordinary people to tell the whole story:
The male protagonist and the female protagonist are in love, it may be in college or anywhere, they have a common vision that seems out of reach (in the play, it is back to earth, a wish that could not be realized from the beginning), the male protagonist Start working hard, because in reality, the heroine has a wish to return to the first central star (a metaphor for the wealthy area or an ideal life), but 4 years later, this wish has not been realized, and it seems that it will not be realized in the future. Certainly, the first key point of the plot comes at this time. The so-called tour guide job of the male protagonist is actually deceiving customers with lies. His job is a lie, and the spaceship is his job. That is to say, those future visions are pure nonsense, male protagonist At this point, there are already two avatars. The young male protagonist (emotional) still maintains his ideals, is enthusiastic, and is still working hard to achieve his goals, while the male protagonist's rationality (fat) has been compromised. Huang Wang, let’s just get on with it. At this time, the real female protagonist called and paid attention to the details. The young male protagonist immediately came over and said to the fat man: I tell you, don’t talk. The fat man sat down knowingly, suggesting here that the male protagonist does not want to face the female protagonist rationally, but he must face it emotionally. The female protagonist already knows the result and complains. After the call, it was actually the male protagonist's emotional and rational dialogue. The discussion was whether to continue with his girlfriend. Emotionally still insisting on being with the female protagonist, and rationality reminded me. I am hanging on this matter.
At this moment, the girlfriend brought a robot (his own reason) to the male protagonist, to showdown with the male protagonist, and to ask the male protagonist if he could still achieve his original ideal (return to earth), the male protagonist faced emotionally. The girlfriend hesitated, so the reason of the male protagonist came to a showdown, and it was impossible to return to Earth, but the emotional side of the female protagonist (the old lady) pretended not to hear, because she loved him, and a robot appeared saying that the female protagonist is deaf ( The person in love has zero IQ), so the fat man went to explain to the robot that the earth has long since been destroyed (the male protagonist's reason prevailed at this time, and he felt that he should tell his girlfriend the truth, don't lie to her), but the female protagonist's emotions were dominated at this time. When you have the upper hand, you can talk to my rationality no matter what, you don't even want to be rational, you only have the male protagonist in your eyes. The male protagonist finally used his trump card, let’s break up, there is no future (the fat man turned around and wanted to enter the house after saying that, but he was still standing at the door, hesitating), I didn’t expect the female protagonist to also use the trump card, let’s get married (that by The box carried by the robot represents everything that is precious in the heroine's life. In fact, at this time, the heroine put forward this proposal rationally, which means that the heroine's rationality is actually not rational), and the man's rationality is finished at this time. It's a dream thing, so it's irrational right away: OK. However, the male protagonist asked emotionally, what to do about this, you are lying, the earth does not exist at all. The irrational rational side: Don't worry about that, people say it like this, what else do you think, it's good intentions for us to lie to her. So the hero and heroine got together and embarked on a journey to pursue an impossible goal (a life based on white lies, there is another detail here, that is, the robot said that the heroine flew over by himself in a spaceship, since he can drive the spaceship Why do you want to hire the male lead's spaceship? Actually, it means that the female lead has a choice at this time, and she can choose other ways to go to Earth, but she doesn't).
During the journey, there is nothing to say. Did you not find that the robot is always sleeping in the spaceship (lie)? , those are the various promises the male protagonist makes in life. Asking you how you planned with your girlfriend is actually just turning around and asking if you really wanted to marry me or did you really love me. Fortunately, the male protagonist is real . The robot in the back went to check the flight path. It was the heroine's rationality. I couldn't help but want to see if it was moving towards the goal. Then she was disappointed. , To be honest, I said before I set off that it was impossible to achieve, but I deliberately ignored my reason, not to mention that I still love the male protagonist emotionally. Here I think it is to imply that the marriage of the male and female protagonists has a crisis of trust, the male protagonist The emotional side feels cheated, I am sorry for the heroine, I want to confess to a showdown, but the heroine chooses to ignore the rationality again, and even let the rationality convince her emotional side. He was shaken. The male protagonist didn’t want to lie to his loved one on the emotional side, so he spoke ambiguous, and his rational side actually began to shake, so the female protagonist’s rational side came out of deceiving and made up a lie to soothe his emotional side. In the end, the lie always has an end, that is the end of life. The heroine must go to the so-called earth. The reason of the man tells her that this is not possible (for fear that the lie will be exposed, then the party will really break up), and the emotional side Decided to face it bravely and can't lie any more. This also explains why after reaching the ground, the male protagonist followed the female protagonist out of the spaceship without hesitation, which meant stepping out of the lie and facing the storm of truth. The male protagonist was rational because he was worried about the female protagonist. After seeing the truth, the Lord couldn't accept it and blamed himself. (Here I think it's actually implying that the heroine has reached the end of her life. The so-called oxygen and mask are actually the last moment in the hospital, and the old lady is secretly eating on the spacecraft. medicine), so the male protagonist thinks rationally that it is better to let the female protagonist die peacefully in the lie, or simply should not pursue this nihilistic goal, and the rational side of the female protagonist (robot) is angry again after hearing this statement, you Does it mean that the pursuit we have been pursuing is not worth it, but then the robot loses its power. In fact, the heroine has entered a state of death, and the male protagonist is madly screaming outside emotions. Finally, the heroine took off the oxygen mask and her life ended. But this story is not over, the following final chapter is the most touching place.
The male protagonist did not die with his wife. The old lady came first. In fact, the story we have seen is the process of the male protagonist seeking the forgiveness of his wife's undead in a similar world of consciousness after his death. He used the whole story to tell the life of the two, because When his wife died, he did not get her direct forgiveness, or he was not sure if his wife forgave his lies, so he wanted to find the final answer here. In fact, the answer was that his wife had already forgiven him. What he said before taking off the mask: Listen, the birds are chirping. Why this is forgiveness? The end is very clear. The common vision of the two of them is not to go to Earth at all (an unattainable goal), but to be together. It's just that in the process of pursuing this ideal, they themselves deviate from the most primitive vision and become the pursuit of an impossible realistic goal. Looking back, the two have already realized their original vision, reminding him that the chirping of birds is here. Tell him that your promise has been fulfilled. This is also the reason why the heroine recovered the appearance in the photo after taking off the mask, and regained her original ideal. After the hero took off the mask, she also found that we were already in heaven.
This is not the earth, this is the earth.
