and watch the analysis of "The Night the Comet Came".
After watching it, the biggest confusion is that the characters are confused. I can't tell which group of people is the original group, or how many groups of people there are, and there will be countless spaces. Composition? I don't know about space physics, but I think we should listen to what Hugh's brother said from beginning to end, staying in the house is more important than anything, it's doomed from the moment they start to leave the house in a chaotic manner Chaos ending. But we also made it clear that the characters will not change for the time being when staying in the house, but every time someone comes back after going out, they may not be the original person, and the person who goes out may not be the same when they return to the room. The original house again.
First of all, make one thing clear, when choosing the color of the light stick, there are only three colors in total, blue, red and green, but when you ask about the random items in the box that you initially found, there are staplers (Hugh), oven mitts (Lee and Beth), ping pong rackets (Amy), napkins (Mike). (When Amy was looking for the perfect space, a random object of a monkey toy appeared later.) It means that the one with the blue light stick is the original 8 people. In addition, because Beth and Li have never left, the randomness of this house is random. The object is an oven mitt, and the photo numbers are green.
(Green: 2 Kevin 2 Mike 3 Amy 3 Beth 4 Amir 5 Lee 5 Hugh 5 Laurie)
(Red: 1 Mike 1 Lee 1 Hugh 2 Laurie 4 Beth 4 Amy 5 Amir 6 Kevin)
The one must-know thing tonight that Amy hasn't told Kevin is whether to accompany Kevin to work. This is echoed later when Kevin and Laurie were talking in the aisle and Laurie said that it was a pity that Amy didn't go to your place of work with you, indicating that Kevin and Laurie had changed once at that time, As for when it changed, I don't know. Maybe it was when the four walked through the dark zone, and at the end, only the two of them and Amir didn't say their random things. Maybe it was also a reason.
According to Feng Shui, placing pictures of people with unresolved disputes on the way to a useless door leads to a flow of cryptic energy. My understanding is that the supernatural energy has no outlet, so it will wander and stop in that place. But this movie is obviously not about the supernatural world, but about the unknown field of science. Of course, from a certain level of understanding, the supernatural world also belongs to the unknown field of science. This useless door is echoed near the end when the main character Amy enters the house after injuring another Amy, when Beth asks her "which door did you come in through?".
The original group: Amy and Kevin, Hugh and Beth, Mike and Lee, Laurie and Amir.
Relationships: Everyone doesn't seem to like Laurie except Kevin, it's just embarrassing because they seem to have had something before, Laurie's eyes turned to Kay from dinner when Mike asked Laurie if he had practiced yoga Wen can see that when Laurie satirized Mike, Amy supported Mike to support him as an actor, and then Laurie immediately pointed at Amy and asked her what job she was doing. And Amy's unsatisfactory career setback is also a metaphor for her emotional world. As Laurie said, "some people create something, but they are excluded." Kevin can be compared to Amy's creation (with a lot of emotion), but he was intervened by a third party. Amy said that she had learned a lesson in her career, so she let her in the final ending, even if she knew Kevin and Kevin In hindsight, Laurie chose to find a Kevin who didn't know anything and started over. Because she has learned not to give up or give in until the last minute, this is the philosophy of life taught by her career setbacks.
Theoretical basis of the plot:
1. Decoherence: The popular explanation is that the decoherence effect refers to "When no one looks at the moon, the moon only hangs in the sky with a certain probability; and when someone looks at the moon, the original existence of the moon is uncertain. Sex mutates into reality the moment people see it."
2. Schrödinger's cat: According to the interpretation of quantum mechanics, the cat in the box is in a "dead-alive superposition" - both dead and alive! To wait until you open the box and take a look at the cat will decide its life and death.
3. Tunguska incident: Simply put, it is a strange explosion in which the forest was destroyed in a large area, but human beings had no loss.
4. Comet: It is a celestial body moving around the sun that enters the solar system and changes in brightness and shape with the change of solar distance. The material of the comet evaporates, forming a hazy coma and a comet tail composed of a thin stream of material around the ice core. Because of the pressure of the solar wind, the tail of a comet always points away from the sun.
Plot analysis:
Going out for the first time: All the staff are holding blue light sticks, because they are just wandering at the door to see that they have not reached the dark area in the distance, so they all return.
After returning to the house: all members, no changes. But there's a cup that hasn't been found broken before, and can't even remember where the cup was placed. It means that everyone is not returning to the original house. But the staff did not change. Let's think of it as the first space.
The second time to go out: Hugh and Amir, when they went out, Amir said that he could not find his shoes, which once again proved that the house was no longer the original house.
When Amy was talking about the Tunguska incident, there was a sudden loud noise, and Kevin looked at it and said that the front door was locked and nothing was there (I don't know if I have understood it here, generally the door is locked on the inner floor, but just closed. Going out with Amir must be opened and it is impossible to lock the inside. If this is an unsolved mystery, then it means that in addition to being randomly thrown into a space in the dark zone, the space itself is also insecure. In the stationary rotation, it is like that each grid in the constantly rotating compass is not stationary, but the number in each grid will not change, which means that the person staying in the room will not change, Because they are like numbers in a grid. But if you think about it this way, the plot is too complicated. I don’t know if I think too much. Ask the experts for advice.)
After returning to the room: Hugh has a wound on his right forehead, get back one Box (random object is a ping pong racket). Amir said he thought he saw Hugh put the box down and ran around the corner, so he took it back. At that time, they didn't know about the selection of time and space, so he thought that, in fact, he was not mistaken, and it was Hugh who put it down. As for which dimension Hugh was in, he didn't know.
At this time, Hugh and Amir are not sure whether they are the original self in this space, but they have not got a box with random objects, so if they are marked by the first random objects, they are the two of the red photo ping-pong racket. personal. But looking at the plot behind it, it can also be inferred that they may be the ones holding the red light sticks.
Hugh said everything he saw, and then he planned to write a note. At this time, Hugh, who did not know which time and space, had already written the note and came running, so everyone would see a tall man at the door, and found a Similar to the note that Hugh was writing. At this point, everyone was completely speechless.
Arrange the numbers behind the photo: (red: 1 Mike 1 Lee 1 Hugh 2 Laurie 4 Beth 4 Amy 5 Amir 6 Kevin) (There is a record near the end of the movie) Amy and Kevin found that their photo was cut When Amy needed their own photos later, Laurie got angry with Kevin's photo and cut a photo of the two to echo.
Third time out: Mike, Laurie, Kevin and Amy. Mike recognized his house, Mike saw Li in the house, and on the way back, he saw four himself holding red glow sticks.
After returning to the house: Although it was still the room with the blue light sticks, the four of them entered the room in another dimension, which is the penultimate room where the heroine stayed. Only Li and Beth were in this room. The random object in the box that was brought back by Hugh and Amir in this space is oven mitts, and the number in the photo is green. That is to say, although Hugh and Amir at this time are also holding red light sticks that do not match this blue room, they are not from the previous room, which means that we cannot infer that Hugh and Amir who came back for the second time What color light stick is it, because there is no later basis for that space.
Amy mentions a Dark Zone, which Amir says he and Hugh also passed by. Hugh and Amir were secretly talking in the corner. Beth mentioned Hugh's brother's book, and went out for the fourth time.
Fourth time out: Hugh and Kevin are going to get books. Since returning from the third time out, Li has not shown up. She is sleeping because she has asked Beth for some medicine.
After returning to the house: Soon, Hugh and Kevin came back. After listening to Hugh's younger brother Brian's theory, everyone understood a lot.
At this time, Mike was a little excited and planned to kill another Mike, and assuming that Mike was drinking badly, this echoes before and after Mike in the penultimate room where the heroine was behind was attacked by Mike who suddenly broke into the door. . (Echoing does not mean what the same person did, but it proves that although the space where people live may have forks, the person is still the same person, and people’s thinking is the same. The fork is only caused by our actual behavior. The movie is from the perspective of the heroine alone. And Zuo shows that the most important thing is the current reality of us. What we think is not important, but what we do. The more open one's thinking is, the less unique it is, and the more possessions, the more ordinary , it's only what you do in the moment that determines who you are.)
Mike recalls not seeing Beth in the other room, and everyone thought there was a turnaround, as long as they didn't find Brian's book. Li woke up.
Mike privately told Kevin that he was going to threaten another Mike with Beth and his affair, which echoes the threat note in the penultimate room where the heroine is located. This is the fifth time to go out.
The fifth time to go out: Mike went out privately, intending to threaten another self.
At this time, in the kitchen, Beth and Lee's conversation about the dried vase made Amy suspicious, because they had already talked about it at the beginning. In fact, this is the house with a blue glow stick, the first random object in the box is an oven mitt, and the number in the photo is green.
Hugh and Amir, who were holding red light sticks, entered a room. It turned out that they had a secret conversation after returning from the third time out because they knew that they were not from this space, but a space that belonged to red light sticks.
After returning to the house: Mike came back and thought he had been there for 45 minutes. He said that he sent a note to see the reaction and did not smash the window, but Kevin said he only left for about 5 minutes. So the Mike who came back is not the Mike who left. Which one is the Mike whose first random item in the box was a napkin.
At this point, Hugh and Amir stole books and boxes and left, and Mike started drinking.
Li complained in the kitchen that Mike was drinking while washing the cup, and this cup was the same cup that had been broken before everyone noticed, indicating that this space is not the same space as the original one.
Sixth time out: Kevin, Mike, Lee, Amy, Beth and Laurie went out with blue glow sticks. After seeing that the car was smashed, Amy left everyone and saw Kevin when he retrieved the ring, but this Kevin didn't seem to know about checking Hugh's car, so they understood each other and walked back separately.
After returning to the house: After everyone came back, they didn't understand why they had to smash the car window. This echoes with the last heroine who smashed the car and led everyone to put themselves in. (Note that Mike wanted to smash the car but didn't do it earlier) And Kevin seems to have gotten down on Amy, making Amy very sad. At this point, Hugh (with different Bundys) and Amir with blue glow sticks came back. They said everyone in the room they went to was holding red glow sticks. Although the first random object they saw was a stapler, it could not be ruled out that they were not the people in the original space, because after all, the first random object appeared after choosing the color of the light stick. So it's also possible that she and the heroine came from the original space, only to find that the random objects in the box are different. At this point, Amy calculated a total of 4 notes. The description shows that at least 4 spaces appear, but in reality, because the house has changed, there are at least 6 notes.
Everyone decided to mark the house. The random objects are coasters.
(Blue: 2 Amy 3 Hugh 4 Mike 6 Lee 6 Beth, etc.)
Everyone decided not to go out of the house, and Lee asked Amy again to know what was the difference between the numbers in the first box.
Amy opened the record and found that it was green, it should be red. It means that they came back after going out for the sixth time, not the previous house. And Amy found that Hugh's phone was not broken, so she suspected that Hugh and Amir were from the third house. Kevin left the box outside and returned to the house when another Mike sent a threatening note, and shortly after Hugh hit Mike, another Mike with a green glow stick came in and hit Mike. There was a big mess, Amy was completely awakened, she didn't want to be that dead cat, and she also understood that the place where she was was the darkest. She opened the door and saw another note (7th), so she started looking around frantically.
The seventh time to go out: Amy saw a lonely Amy in front of a lot of red glow sticks in the random object box house with monkey toys, and the second house was a blue glow stick house where everyone was arguing. The two Mikes in the third house, who see green and red glow sticks, are strapped to chairs. The fourth house red glow stick, Kevin and Laurie hang back and chat happily. The fifth house has no glow sticks, as if nothing happened. She decided to enter this time and space, smash the car, stun Amy, and wake up, everything seems to be perfect, who knows a phone call, everyone can make up their own ideas.
The first random object: It is the random object in the first box that everyone finds, not the random object in the room that you decide to mark. It can be called random objects in the house. Random objects outside the house are what really mark your house.
If you want to figure out the number of spaces and the number of character changes, you have to follow the heroine, because the movie is always carried out from the perspective of the heroine. The heroine is Amy.
The space where the eight people came back after going out together must have been changed, but I don't know which color light stick was turned on, but everyone took the blue one. But this changed space was simply called the original space because the personnel did not change.
Hugh
in Hugh's original space: blue stick.
Going out for the first time: The blue stick, it is unknown where it went, but it may be the Hugh who came back last, because the first random object has not appeared at this time, if it is only different from the random object seen by the heroine, you cannot completely deny him It's the first break.
The first time I came back: I don't know the color of the stick, I got back the first box that the heroine saw. Inside the box are photos in scarlet letters and ping pong bats.
After returning for the first time, Amir said that he saw Hugh who put down the box: it is a very advanced space, they are already marking their house, and they know how to no longer answer the door, which shows that this is a space that is ahead of the current space. space.
The first time Xiu came to the sticker: This space is also a little bit ahead of the current space. He has already posted the note, but because he came to post, the current space’s Xiu didn’t go out to post, resulting in a space fork. , which also resulted in two notes in the house at the moment.
Hugh in the room where the four of them came back after going out: Look at Amir, the red stick, but the room has changed now, so it's not the previous Hugh.
Hugh who came back from the book: I think it hasn't changed. Still the red stick, the box random object seen for the first time is an oven mitt, photo number green Hugh.
Hugh running away with a box and books: The box that was taken away should contain pictures of oven mitts and green numbers.
Hugh coming back with blue sticks and plain Bundy: Claiming to enter a space full of red sticks, claiming no sticky notes. The phone is not broken. Claims that the first random object in the box is a stapler, and the first time he sees the photo number is 3.
Hugh in the four spaces that the heroine saw in the process of searching for the home space was ignored.
Hugh in the final space.
Amir is basically the same as Hugh.
Note: He didn't follow Hugh except when he went out to get the book, but I don't think it would change if he didn't go into the Dark Zone, and after taking the book back, Hugh and Amir planned to steal the book and escape.
Beth
of Beth's original space: Superstition, Feng Shui theory.
Beth after the four of them went out: At this time, because the house has been changed, Beth is not the original Beth.
Beth in the four spaces that the heroine saw in the process of searching for the home space.
Beth in the final space.
Li is basically the same as Hugh.
Note: In addition to that, Mike peeks at Lee in another house during a private outing, and they infer Beth in that house is napping, but it's actually an unfounded guess.
Mike in Mike
's original space: Mike
after the four people went out: It should have not changed. These four people are with the heroine. From the perspective of the heroine, Mike is still the previous Mike.
Mike, who went out privately and planned to send a threatening note: I don't know if it's gone.
Mike, who came back after delivering the threatening note: Depressed and started drinking. He was later beaten by Stapler Hugh and another Mike. But the director seems to have used the mouth of this alcoholic to speak, and he always speaks amazingly. In the end, it was his words that woke up the heroine not to be a dead cat and to admit her darkness. As a result, the heroine finally made a desperate attempt to find a home.
The Mike that Hugh the Stapler and Amir saw in the red stick room: Mike who is worried about other Mikes should be a Mike who went straight to the vulnerable stage without struggling, but it also reflects his kindness, at least not Impulsively put up a threatening note.
Mike who sent the threatening note: After sending it, he should be looking at the reaction in the room, not necessarily the same person who broke in and beat the current Mike.
The Mike who broke into the door and beat the current Mike: Maybe the Mike who wanted to kill himself while he was drinking badly, or maybe the Mike who regretted himself after seeing the threatening note incident. But it's definitely not Mike from the original space, because he's holding the green stick.
Mike in the four spaces that the heroine saw in the process of searching for the home space. Here I want to say that there is a scene that is very funny and amusing. Just two Mikes with a red stick and a green stick tied to a chair. Super funny. Imagine who kidnapped these two Mikes. It could be Hugh who was annoyed and planned to teach them a lesson, or it could be Mike who Beth found out and sent the threatening note, so he simply kidnapped the two together to save them trouble.
Mike of Ultimate Space.
Kevin
in Kevin's original space: Kevin
after the four of them went out: Because he is always with the heroine, I don't think it has changed.
Kevin, who accompanies Hugh to get his book back: I don't think it has changed. Even if it does, it doesn't make any sense.
Kevin who came back after the six went out: No change.
Kevin, whom the hostess met in front of the car when the six went out: Obviously not in the same space as herself. But compared to the current Kevin's temperament and kindness, it forms a strong contrast with the current Kevin's attitude towards Amy.
Kevin who came back after putting the box with coasters on the door marker: I don't think it has changed, because when the hostess checked the numbers, he and the hostess matched the red numbers, which should always be the original Kevin, and Same as the mistress.
Mike in the four spaces that the heroine saw in the process of searching for the home space.
Kevin of Ultimate Space.
Laurie
is always the original Laurie, because she has never left the heroine. She was with the heroine when the four of them went out, and also when the six of them went out.
I've seen one critic who thought Laurie had been replaced before arriving at the dinner because he didn't recognize Mike as a TV actor, didn't admit that he had practiced yoga, and said he worked in Silicon Valley. But I don't quite agree with this point of view, because Laurie is a person who likes to ridicule people, and I think she just wanted to laugh at Mike when she said she didn't recognize it. personal opinion.
No matter how the world changes, Amy
will always be herself, and Amy will still be that Amy. It's just that she is also aware of her infinite choices in infinite space. Standing and hovering above the space compass, I saw countless myself better or darker than myself.
In the end, Amy, who was attacked by the heroine, didn't die, she just ran away, and finally called Kevin, la la la, the endless darkness attacked.
There are several intractable details, such as the lighting problem in the house, whether each power outage can be regarded as a dark zone, and whether there will be a character change. Also, is the Dark Zone just like Amy said there is one place that is darker than any other place, or is the Dark Zone changing at any time as the comet moves and disintegrates because of the lighting in the room It is also changing, one time this room is bright, and another time that room is bright.
But I have a question, why don't they go to the neighbor's house to see, well, if that's the case, it's too messy, it's equivalent to countless compasses flipping around a center point, forming a sphere-like self-motion.
