Please abandon those advanced theoretical explorations

After watching many film reviews, I suddenly discovered that many people have been fooled by the director!
We were unknowingly led by the director into a fantasy world of mental patients.
In fact, I think this is the story the director wants to tell, and it is also the most realistic explanation.

If the director is brilliant, then the most brilliant thing is that everyone who watches the movie believes that Cole's efforts are indeed to save 5 billion people from disaster. But in fact, the director can tell you that what he made is a movie about the fantasy of a madman. The director just wants to bring the audience into the brain of a schizophrenic. Or want to prove that the vision in the movie is what we believe most, but it is illusory.

Seeing that there are film critics inferring the past and the present, citing theories about time travel. I admire their erudition, but I also believe that this is indeed a kind joke of the director or screenwriter. He is not worried about the end of Cole's time travel paradox, because this trip has never existed. In fact, we all believe that Cole is from the future, at least since he knew that the boy who fell into the tunnel was only hiding in the barn! Would you say that this can not be proved? Maybe, but everyone ignored Cole’s last explanation. He also played the same game when he was a child. This sentence is actually true in the mind of this wicked director.

This is also what the director has to do, that is, you can believe that you are watching a science fiction film about time travel, or you can believe that this is a film about exploring the subjective delusions of people with schizophrenia.

Quoting a comparison from an expert is very clear. In the underground world of Cole’s fantasy, all plots have prototypes and reliable: the
following is the parallel relationship between the "future-past" in the film:
Cole sees it while collecting specimens on the ground To a bear-saw a giant bear mural at the airport;
Cole also saw a lion-saw a statue of a lion when he went to the airport;
the glowing time machine that sent Cole back to the past-mental illness A luminous CAT machine
in the hospital; disinfection and bathing before collecting specimens on the ground-disinfection and bathing in a mental hospital;
Raincoat-like clothing worn on the ground-a raincoat-like "tight jacket" worn by Cole in the mental hospital to prevent Cole from hurting people;
spider specimens collected
on the ground- spider swallowed in the mental hospital; on the ground An abandoned church entered on the Shanghai Airport-the airport department store (actually the "future" of that church);
the scientists in power-the doctors of the mental hospital reviewing Cole (in terms of number and gender ratio, they are completely equal to the former). Same);
the broadcast of asking for "volunteers" in the lower prison-the broadcasting of asking for "volunteers" in the airport;
the jailer in the underground prison-the guard of the mental hospital (played by the same person as the former);
listening in the underground prison The hoarse voice that arrives—the hoarse voice heard on the streets of Philadelphia (a hobo).

What I want to say is that any audience who tries to explore time travel or grandfather paradox and butterfly effect will in fact fall into the same paradox and contradiction. Perhaps the real intention of the director is what he will do to people after traveling through time and space. Schizophrenia has been discussed, and the spirit and the so-called reality have been constantly switching. Isn’t this a complete trap in the film? (I have revised this absolute discourse that was sprayed, sorry.)
Of course, the reader's association and analysis caused by time travel is still a by-product of profound or interesting thinking about more philosophical propositions in this film.
Director Terry Gilliam or the screenwriter is indeed a master of philosophy of mind that is good at exploring the era of time and space.
Brad Pitt is a niche with excellent acting skills. And Willis’s performance actually sets the tone for the film. There is no way to comment on what it looks like and what the film looks like. The only thing I wonder is, why did you choose him at the box office? If so, the director really worked hard to gather a group of entertainment stars together to make him a box office guarantee for entertaining the public. Those viewers who are holding popcorn and waiting to watch the sci-fi blockbuster are really pitiful. They will never get any entertainment from this film.
Some people say that this is a typical Greek tragedy. Cole is a combination of Oedipus, Cassandra, and Therese. I am not against the protagonist being a tragic character, but this is definitely not the protagonist. Tragedy is a human tragedy, and human society itself is a huge tragedy. Therefore, this film is an unfinished comedy with tragic sentiments! The tragedy is because the protagonist finally dies, the story ends, and the comedy is because no one is harmed.
Does any viewer see anyone who has fainted because of the virus? nobody! Because this has never happened.
Unexpectedly, because if the story continues, the heroine will find that what she is deeply plunged into is not an impending human end, but into Cole's mind. The horse runs and dances, but this is too vulgar, right? Even a layman like me feels vulgar.

Finally, what I want to say is that such comments may attract criticism and opposition from most in-depth fans. Why, because I may think that I have reduced the philosophical depth of the film from the most vulgar point of view, and broke many in-depth fans by the way. A deeper analysis of this film.
Yes, I really dislike those cryptic explorations. Personally, instead of discussing the paradox about time travel, it is better to explore the relationship between the subjective and objective worlds of human beings. As for philosophical physics and other advanced topics Learning, leave it to people who really have Einstein's potential.
