There are really no more movies and new dramas to watch recently. I accidentally saw this Korean drama and thought it was a bit interesting.
Regarding this plot, I have seen that the screenwriter has left a lot of "little clues", which is considered a careful trick by the screenwriter, leaving it to everyone to make small guesses. I will analyze it with you one by one here. Just a personal opinion.
1. Question 1: Is the heroine mentally ill? The beginning of the plot is a small animation. At the beginning of the animation, the heroine is an ordinary little girl who especially wants to play with everyone.
Because of the "shadow of death" behind it, it is not accepted by everyone.
What exactly is "Shadow of Death"? Is it the shadow cast by the mother who is a mystery novelist, or the shadow cast by the father who is mentally ill? Has the heroine been worried that she would suffer from mental illness like her father, so she kept running away? At present, it can only be seen that the heroine has some withdrawn and mild anti-social personality because she grew up with no one to accompany her, her father is mentally ill, and she is currently neglected. It seems that the heroine is a kind but extremely disguised person.
2. Question 2. Who is afraid of butterflies? The male protagonist keeps moving because his brother is afraid of butterflies and has a shadow on them.
However, there is a small detail in the animation at the beginning that everyone may not have noticed. When the boy was holding the flower and was about to confess, the girl turned her back to the boy and tore off the petals. But when he turned around, what the boy saw was a butterfly. Boy, turn around and run.
From this detail, the male protagonist is afraid of butterflies. So why does the male protagonist keep emphasizing that his brother is afraid of butterflies? In the first version of Netflix's trailer, the male protagonist monologues, "I always wanted to escape because of my brother. But sometimes, I feel that I want to escape."
To sum up, I think it is the male protagonist who is afraid of butterflies. The one who wants to escape is also the male protagonist, but what is the male protagonist escaping from? 3. Question 3. Why does the male protagonist (brother) keep running away from butterflies? What does butterfly mean?
First of all, everyone must know that this drama is made by Netflix, which means that it is aimed at both Western and Eastern audiences.
In the Western concept, according to Christ's interpretation, the butterfly is the incarnation of the spirit and the soul, the release of the soul after death, and some people think that the butterfly is the incarnation of the evil spirit. In the concept of oriental people, "Zhuang Shengxiao dreamed of butterflies", in the end I am a butterfly, or is it me.
But no matter how you explain it, the butterfly here is a spiritual symbol. A bad symbol.
So the two brothers have always been afraid of butterflies in their hearts, afraid that the "butterfly" will strike again. As for why the house is moved once a year, it may be because of the setting in the play that the male protagonist's brother's illness will have a period of concentrated outbreaks every year, and he has to continue to escape.
Here, Butterfly is not a sad memory, but a terrifying memory: In my brother's dream, Butterfly is a murderer and wants to kill himself. That's why the two kept running away.
4. Question 4. What disease does the male lead get?
This has to be combined with the explanations in the previous paragraphs. Let's go back to the book that the male protagonist has been reading.
Through the fairy tales of the heroine, we know that in the heroine's description, the boy is the object who needs to be rescued. The boy has many bad memories, memories of being hurt, memories of hurting others, and memories of being abandoned. Most likely, it's all memories the boy experienced himself. But these memories were erased by the witch, and the boy temporarily forgot these painful memories.
Combining the male protagonist's childhood memories, we can guess that the male protagonist is the boy in the female protagonist's story, a sick boy, a boy with painful memories but temporarily forgotten.
About the acquaintance of the boy and the girl: The girl saves the boy who is about to drown.
Boy is suicide? Or abandoned? We don't know. But what is certain is that the fear of butterflies has been planted in the boy's heart at this time.
So, back to the explanation about butterflies again. When the boy knew the girl, he was already afraid of butterflies. At this time, the boy had no brother by his side.
Where is brother? where is mom
You know, the boy who was rescued was always following the girl.
The first explanation is that the mother is dead, and the boy is afraid of the butterfly in the mouth of his brother. If so, why wasn't the boy's older brother around? After all, he escaped with his brother.
The second explanation is that the mother is not dead, and the brother is with the mother. Because of the neglect of his mother, the boy regards the butterfly as a spiritual incarnation to accompany him. When he sees the girl tearing the butterfly by hand, he is terrified.
The third explanation is that the butterfly is the incarnation of the brother's soul! Because the male protagonist was jealous and neglected for a long time, his heart was distorted. It is very likely that his brother was accidentally killed by himself. The mother could not accept his brother's death, and was accidentally killed on the way to find his brother. The male protagonist may have fallen ill at that time. Think It was my brother who took my mother away (guessing only). After all, the male protagonist Jiyou also said that the male protagonist is like a "clown" - a classic screen image that is psychologically distorted because of his mother's mental illness, poverty, ugliness, and contempt.
No matter how you explain it, it is certain that the male protagonist is suffering from mental illness.
There is also a bold guess that the male protagonist suffers from schizophrenia.
There is also plenty of evidence to explain. For example, my brother's favorite Stegosaurus, Stegosaurus has a "second brain"
For example, in the same picture, the elder brother and younger brother appear in turns and the angles are the same, so it is difficult not to make people guess it is the same person.
For example, when the male protagonist and the base friend are together, every time the elder brother falls ill, the base friend looks at the male protagonist.
There are also many details in the play that can prove that the male protagonist suffers from fine points.
At present, for the time being, what is wrong with the male protagonist? What are those bad memories? Just waiting for the next update.
But we can see from the heroine's fairy tale that this is a story about self-redemption and growth.
