1. Sonja - I read a lot of film reviews saying that Sonja had a purpose. From the very beginning, the card was stolen and swiped, and the bank informed him that it was stolen in Thailand (if there is any technology that can change the location of the bank's card swipe, this will be discussed separately). The master himself found out that Sonja had a game at home, not Sonja guiding the male protagonist. In the end, the male protagonist wanted to make money through the APP, and it was also his own initiative. He could make some money in other ways, but he chose the APP, which also It wasn't Sonja who guided him.

2. Shutdown - When the black woman wants to shut down, the shutdown symbol does appear on the screen.. It is not an ambiguous sign that makes people misunderstood, so the mobile phone is indeed shut down.. Then the mobile phone rings and affects the operation of the machine. This is just the protagonist My own brain made up to explain the imagination at 5:38 at the beginning..

3. Saito's clothes - the pattern of Saito wearing a white T appeared in the magazine, but the next Saito appeared with multiple pullovers, this one The pullover is similar to the style that appeared at the beginning of the male protagonist, so this Saito A is what he imagined at the beginning according to his own logic and aesthetics.

And the appearance of Saito B's body in black is the protagonist's own imagination. The end of the whole thing is his own death.. This just shows his relationship with his mother. From his innermost fear, his mother has become old. Dementia, from the fact that he wants to enter the room on the second floor, it can be seen that he loves his mother very much in his heart, so the first thing is to imagine the picture of his mother hanging in the room. So the real fear is that his mother also leaves him. .The second fear is Alzheimer's.. So I imagine that my mother has Alzheimer's, and my mother is not far from death... Then in this case, the protagonist has a dead heart.. So the imagination of this dream is broken .. The imagination of his death appeared, and the brain supplement continued to explain that he had never seen Saito.. So Saito B appeared (the reason why he was in black, because he would wear black when he attended the funeral)..

4. If the ending of this episode is that the protagonist dies..then the whole story is too mediocre..and if the ending is that the protagonist still does not come out of the fantasy..there are more fantasy in the back of the film..more able This shows how scary this technology is.. Maybe in reality, others think you are just entering the game for a few seconds or minutes, and you may experience a longer period of time in the game than you have survived.. You have fallen into a fantasy Want to escape but can't find a way... this is the real horror game....
