Yesterday, today, and tomorrow are the same.
This is a story caught in a time loop, and the protagonists of the story are men and women who have mutual affection.
Sarah meets another bridesmaid's boyfriend, Niles, at her sister's wedding. The two seem to fall in love at first sight, but as they prepare to make out in the desert, a series of bizarre things happen and they get caught in a time loop.
She was trapped with him on a day when she could not escape the wedding.
Because Niles has gone through too many time loops. Time, life, everything means nothing to him, everything is just fleeting.
Since no matter what you do, you can only live today, so it is better to explore all the possibilities today without worry.
Ignore the past, the future is no longer important, we only live today. It seems to be a value that can be universally recognized.
Niles appears to be a super-optimistic nihilist, acknowledging the futility of existence and happily embracing it. Says "the next bite of chocolate is the best."
So Sarah temporarily put down the idea of escaping after trying a few times, and temporarily reveled in the happiness of being accompanied.
Bar couples dance pas de deux and tattoo each other as Sarah prepares a little "birthday" surprise for Niles. These sweet things make every day of the cycle become meaningful because of the company of a person, which is worth looking forward to.
In this way, halfway through the film, as the audience, we still don't know anything about the hero and heroine trapped before this day, but we follow them into a passionate love ignorantly.
Who they are, what their past was like, who they used to love.
In Niles' words, none of this matters. Everything is fleeting.
After changing the routine of traditional romantic films, after falling into a loop, the love relationship between the two seems to be dominated by Sarah, but Niles, who seems to care nothing, has been carelessly covering up her concern for Sarah.
Every morning, Sarah wakes up to knock on his door first, and takes the initiative to tell her previous emotional experience, and then to pierce the ambiguous window paper to characterize the relationship between the two.
In the end, Sarah was unwilling to stay on this day and disappeared from Niles' world. Instead, this joking man looked for Sarah's traces all day long, and even went so far as to find Roy to torture him.
So when Sarah showed up with a plan that might directly lead to the disappearance of both of them, Niles complied.
That's not what "The Great Gatsby" said: If you plan to love someone, do you give up your God-like freedom for him, and you are willing to have fetters from now on.
So Niles, already familiar with the time loop that trapped him, would say: I'd rather die with you than live in a world without you.
A standard passing online movie, because it is a circular narrative, can be regarded as quite satisfactory in all aspects. There is nothing special about it, but it got the highest transaction price in Saint Denis
At a time when the "Groundhog Day"-like time loop has probably become a model, the reason why this Palm Springs has received so much praise is probably because the two leading actors are more popular among millennials.
The actor Niles plays the third cousin of Andy Samberg, a former resident of Saturday Night Live, plus the starring of the troubled detective. Has already developed a set of personal characteristics of the role-building methods.
The heroine, Cristin, plays the role of the mother in the American TV series "Mom and Dad", which has countless fans.
At the same time, this movie also magically gathered all kinds of popular actors who have been active on the screen recently, and it was so familiar to everyone.
Coupled with the male protagonist's changed outlook on life because he has been caught in the cycle for too long, it really has a philosophical meaning when you think about it carefully. It seems like a loss, but in fact it also reveals the relief after realizing everything.
The first place he was amazed by the heroine was a speech at the wedding. There was a bit of mischief and just the right romance in the loneliness. No wonder he moved the heroine again and again.
"We may have been born lost, but now, we have found each other."
Probably many people will be moved after listening to such a wedding speech and being watched by the person who has become the focus of the audience.
But the heroine is also a ruthless person who is easy to move and strong. Instead, he is the master of the relationship.
After vaguely learning that Niles has fallen in love with her, and that the two have been together a thousand times before he fell into the loop, he can still walk away, teach himself quantum physics (so knowledge changes fate), and try to find a return The road to the normal timeline.
In Niles's final deep confession, he can still say to him: I can still survive without you, you know. It's just that life with you can be less boring.
Less boring is the minimum standard, maybe that's why a lot of people get into relationships, who wants to be alone all the time.
Yes, there will always be days when two people get bored with each other.
But what's there to be afraid of? Anyway, everything is just fleeting, and pretending to live only today is the best answer.
