The young and beautiful Diana is a bit rebellious. In her final high school life, she enjoys friendship, love and drugs, and fantasizes about her family life after graduation. Until a school shooting incident happened. A few years later, she became a teacher and had a family of her own, a smart but naughty daughter. The story is tangled in reality, memory and illusion.
The core storyline should be her friendship with M in high school. She has quarreled with M, but more is M's understanding and encouragement to her. When Mike, who was holding the gun at the end, said that there was only one left of the two, M said, "If you gonna kill one of us, kill me." D was surprised and held M's hand tightly. But when asked by the killer how to choose, she said "Don't kill me." But in the last scene, she also said "Kill me", and then fell in a pool of blood. This bathroom scene affected her for so many years, and finally ms she died, saving her friend. But where has the M, who is often missed by her, gone? The gunman, her classmate, had said the day before that he would bring a gun to school and kill everyone. She only thought it was a Joke. In the end, one of the two, she survived, but her good friend D disappeared forever in her real life. Since the screenwriter asked everyone to experience the end individually, I can only say that in the end, D used his mind to atone for M who died at gunpoint. So she fell into a pool of water while searching for her daughter, and her chest was bleeding... This is also the way of thinking...
As a teacher, but her unruly students did not accept her love. She treated her teacher the same way back then. What's more worth mentioning is that the teacher was still bleeding at the last minute trying to stop the gunman. As a mother, she loves her daughter. But her daughter, who likes to play hide-and-seek, makes her worried and angry. Didn't she smoke and fight the same way back then, and asked her mother who often worked overtime to go to school or the police station to clean up the mess for her? So, it's still a cycle. I can understand what my mother often said to me when I was a child: When you are my age, you will understand my pains...
I love this narrative where reality is tangled up with memories and hallucinations. Everyone can't get rid of his/her past. What Diana can't get rid of is the joy, guilt and other painful emotional torture after a shooting. This torture is projected into her current life. When she found out that her husband was having an affair, her thought that she could make everything all right by loving her daughter, husband and students was completely shattered. So she went back to her past memories and bravely chose death at gunpoint. Not only did she want to escape the painful emotional torture that she had survived for so many years, but she also escaped all kinds of disappointments in reality...
