After reading a few reviews and discussions, I feel like the ending didn't get to the point. This ending is very embarrassing. From the perspective of the movie, it is a failure, not as good as the black hole frequency of the old movie. But from a conceptual point of view, it does point out the essence of this setting, which is quite amazing to me. This kind of movie is usually a lively viewing, and you don't want to delve into whether there are bugs in the setting concept, but this ending definitely makes people think about it. From the so many discussions it can provoke, it's still pretty awesome.
The above is a bunch of nonsense. I think that to understand the ending, we must first understand the entire setting.
This setting is easy to be reminded of the butterfly effect, but in fact, its focus is that whether it is 1999 or the current world, only the telephone is the "external force" of this world, and only the external force and its influence can change the present. It is easy to confuse people because the timelines of 1999 and the present are parallel, and after the bad heroine did a certain behavior at the corresponding time point in 1999, the change now occurs, for example, the bad heroine is closed. Huo, only the good heroine's father survives, not immediately after calling, it will make people feel that the act of turning off the fire can change the present. But what is actually important is that the act of turning off the fire is caused by the phone, so it is also an external force that can change the world today. And the current world, in other words, is based on the fact that no calls have occurred since the last call to the present . Once the call occurs again, the world will now change again at some point in time due to the effect of the call, although sometimes the change may be very small.
Therefore, many times people are entangled in whether the bad heroine falls downstairs is dead or alive, in fact, it is not important. Because the world where the heroine meets her mother is generated by the changes caused by the last phone call between her and her mother. And even if the bad heroine is alive, as long as her subsequent behavior is not caused by a new call, it is already contained in the changed world, it is an "internal force", so it cannot be changed. She is alive, and if she doesn't talk again, she may be caught, she will run away to a long distance, and so on, and it is not a threat to the heroine and her mother, so they all survived.
That's why the ending says "you have to hold the phone tightly to change", that's the point. The bad heroine must not fall to her death, and she also opened the call again, so the current world will change again because of the influence of her call, so the good heroine's mother is gone, and the good heroine is arrested.
So unfortunately, in the most logical way, the final outcome is likely to be the bad guy wins, because the phone is the key, and it is obvious that the heroine's mother will not know to take the phone, so the phone in 1999 must be will fall into the hands of a bad heroine. As long as she is not dead, she will have the ability to keep changing.
But from another point of view, just a few hours after the heroine went to the police station and visited the cemetery, the chance of the real world changing is still very small, because after all, a slap does not make a sound, only bad heroines have 1999 The phone is useless, someone has to answer that phone and provide the right information to change the past. That is to say, in these few hours, the bad heroine got through the phone to the present, learned important information, and found and killed her mother at the time when the heroine and her mother left the cemetery? The question is who answered the current call? The current bad girl? For this to happen, the bad heroine in 1999 must not fall to her death, and she must not be caught (or caught and then released or escaped just now), and she has not sought revenge for so many years, lurking until Now at some point in those hours when the heroine goes to the police station and to the cemetery, to answer this past call, and change everything. Wow, after that, I feel that this plot can be made for a sequel. It seems possible, but the odds are pretty small. But as I said before, although there is little chance of a change within a few hours, on the premise that the bad heroine has a phone and is not dead, it feels like the ending will be changed sooner or later.
And it's very simple to keep the ending unchanged. The heroine only needs to not run out of the villa empty-handed now, but find it and go out with the phone, as long as the phone is in her hand now, and she doesn't need it, The world can't be changed.
Another confusing place is the call between the current bad heroine and the bad heroine of 1999. This happened before the hostess and the mother called. The silly thing here is that the current bad heroine says to the old bad heroine that you might die. First of all, the current bad heroine cannot know that she herself will die in the past, after all, if she died, she would not be who she is now. The only explanation I can think of here is that the current bad heroine has figured out the setting of the phone in decades, and she also knows that the heroine's mother will use the phone when looking for her husband in 1999, so this use The timing of the phone call was a time that might change history. She was worried that it might lead to a change in history and make her present death or change, so she called to tell her past self that she might die, perhaps, to remind her of the call. importance.
