The plot in the film gives the audience a sense of confusion, and I believe everyone who watches it will feel it. Especially the end of the film, it is estimated that many people will be puzzled ~ ~

If watching the film, life after 15 years is true, and other plots are from Diana's memories. This confusion will be even worse. On the contrary, the film starts from the campus tragedy that happened one year after DIANA and his friend made friends, and recounts the life of this one year. After 15 years, a normal and warmer life is his fantasy. The evidence is as follows:

First, from the relationship between DIANA and the professor, before the tragedy, DIANA and her friend walked up the stairs to chat, in which DIANA said that she sent 100 messages to the professor's mailbox, calling him by various names.... Jokingly, maybe you should give him a cup of yogurt so he might date you. It can be seen from this that since D listened to the professor's speech, it has enlightened her chaotic life, which also made D have an imagination, oh, if I want to live a normal and happy life, the professor will be her good partner . From the fragments in reality, it is found that this is just her fantasy, and it is impossible in reality. Do you still remember that scene, after D crashed the car, it was the young D who was with the professor. This may be the romantic scene that D fantasized about being with the professor at that time.

Let's talk about her daughter: I don't know if you have found a detail, 15 years later, EMMA in D's family and D in the photo of D are very similar to D in the photo of D's mother in high school. . This is the director's strong hint that EMMA is D's imaginary daughter, and her prototype is D himself. There are other proofs: 1.D when talking with her friends, she said that the name EMMA is good, she likes it, she wants to keep it for herself. 2. The various languages ​​and bad behaviors EMMA used in school was a copy of D, or herself. 3. A cross with the name of EMMA written in front of the church. 4. In the big forest at the end, there was a shrill cry of DIANA. This voice was actually the shrill cry of her mother when she was stopped by the police outside when the tragedy happened. And we saw the helpless cry of EMMA at this time, HELP MAM, HELP MAM... Isn't that the true reflection of DIANA's heart when she heard her mother call her name in the toilet at that time. Through these and so on, we can see the different periods interspersed in EMMA and D, or the portrayal of the same self in different time and space.

There are also strong hints of the scenes in the film, which can show that life 15 years later is D's fantasy. 1. There is an abandoned scene in the film, there is a kitchen with spoiled food, and two messy rooms. This scene is supposed to be the scene after D's death. And what's more instructive is how similar the kitchen at this moment is to the kitchen scene 15 years later when D is preparing breakfast for EMMA, the rather symbolic contrast of spoilage and fresh food... 2 .There is a scene in the film that directly points out that D before the tragedy has a delusional disorder. I wonder if you have noticed that the love in the swimming pool in that scene is actually D's fantasy, which we can see from the latter scene. When asked by the pool, "Why don't you come down", the man said, "I don't have swimming trunks", OH... 3. In the last scene of the film, when D was shot, another scene, that is, in the forest, also sounded the same 15 years later, D and D in the toilet were shot several times and fell down at the same time. That is—D is dead, and her fantasies have ceased.

Let's get a sense of what the film is going to say, or what the director wants to express in this way. Is it because D's indulgence when he was young is a warning to today's young people by explaining that the life after 15 years is not happy. I guess that's obviously not the case. The director is obviously satisfied with D's life, or D's performance in the last moments of his life.

Before she met her best friend, D was a bad girl who smoked marijuana and indulged her life. In short, she had no moral heart. Then D met her best friend, M, and they were together for a year, and then tragedy struck. M and D are actually a contrast. M is obviously a representative of a good girl in reality. This can be known from D's mother: she agrees with her daughter to have more contacts with her. This year's relationship with M has a huge impact on D. M likes flowers, especially the more splendid flowers that bloom after the rain, M wants a wonderful family with his own children, and so on. All kinds of M have awakened D's vision and fantasy of wanting to live a healthy life. In 15 years of life, D has her own daughter, her favorite husband, and a wonderful family. And the flowers blooming outside the house... In D's heart, M is such a rare friend. When they faced danger at the same time, D's mind thought of the professor's speech: "The moral heart is the voice of God, it comes from everyone's heart...", D thought of all kinds of M, she loved her friends, she Leave the chance to live to M. When D fell to the ground, she was still thinking "M will have eight children with NATO, a happy family...". At the end of the film, when the staff asked Uma Thurman "Are you a survivor?" Uma smiled happily: "I'm not..."

"Morality is the voice of God, it comes from everyone's heart" This It is the theme that the film wants to express, and it is perfectly presented in D...

    In fact, my understanding is that Diana before her death fantasized about her life 15 years later, and all this was gradually made clear when Diana saw Emma's name on the small cross. Emma is just a daughter of her own future that she fantasizes about. All the fantasies of a series of details of life are just pieces of the ordinary life of her and her friends. Before Diana died, she thought that her conscience would be uneasy in 15 years, and that she would not live well, so she made a choice and decided to let her classmates kill her.

The Life Before Her Eyes quotes

  • Young Diana: Maureen, what did I do to deserve a friend like you?

    Maureen: Um, something in a past life?

  • Paul McFee: William James, that most American philosopher, once advised: "begin to be now what you will be hereafter". One might ask how? Our deepest guide in our beginning to be, is our imagination. Our ability to project, and mold our future selves from the myriad possibilities before us. And to imagine takes courage and effort. But it gives us hope too, hope that we can author our own destinies, hope that rightness of the decisions we make now will be borne out in the future. As much as we can be overwhelmed by the world, we can also draw hope from it. From beauty, from promise, from the simple fact that we have the talent to imagine our future selves from all the possible lives that pass before our eyes. We must imagine our lives well. We must engage our conscience. Conscience is the voice of God in the nature and heart of man.
