The setting in the film: There is another earth that is exactly the same as the earth, which reminds me of another movie I saw before that described the concept of parallel worlds: The night of the comet. It's just that the latter interprets this concept more from a scientific point of view, and most involves the thinking about human nature at the end of the film. But the film is about people, about the self, and about redemption almost from start to finish. Putting on a sci-fi gimmick is just to cover the dark film with a layer of gauze with a few strands of light. For example, the heroine's self-redemption in the picture, as my title says, being able to go to another world to find hope is just a suffocating despair!
Regarding the ending at the end of the film, I am more inclined to the view of "how you know yourself, you can see the ending".
On the bright side: No matter what happens when John goes to another earth, for the heroine, she has already made up for it to the greatest extent possible! And agreeing to go, for
'John, is also a kind of compensation for himself! For the two of them, forgiveness can be given to each other! This is my biggest relief after watching this film.
Pessimistic side: The heroine gave up a precious opportunity to explore herself (going to space) and continued to live a dim life. Some movie friends here say that she has come out of the shadows. But I still think that the tone that the director presents to us is that there is only constant forgiveness in the past (whether to self or others), so she still can't get out in the end. As for the fate of the male protagonist, there is already a hint in the film when the two of them eat (can't come back), so for the male protagonist, only death can be relieved, and at the same time can forgive the female protagonist.
No matter what angle you look at this film from, you can see that the film is faintly revealing a glimmer of hope in the suffocating despair. As for whether you can break through the haze and see the sun, it depends on your current state of mind!
～Gorgeous dividing line～
I couldn't sleep for a long time last night, maybe I think the heroine is too much like myself? Although I have never experienced the transformation from an excellent college student to a criminal, everyone has more or less a moment when they face a turning point in their life. Faced with sudden changes, they are helpless and sad Watch it happen. Do you want to redeem yourself? Not even the right to die. Do you want forgiveness? Others will take the trouble to tell you how much it costs. Last night, I instantly understood the self-destructive behavior of the poor old man. The scene of
the two sleeping in embrace really brought tears to my eyes. Sometimes I can't see the end of the future, and there is sad and ridiculous hope in my arms. Life is like being choked in the throat, and the pain of suffocation is impossible to get rid of. Can't see, can't hear, blindly sink, maybe very helpless, but why not a way?
