"Happy Death Day 2" is more interesting than the previous one. On the basis of "repeating death on birthday", another new content is added: multidimensional universe.
The heroine Xiao Cui was dragged into another dimension. In this dimension, she found that her mother was not dead, and that her roommate was kind-hearted, and by constantly dying, she became a schoolmaster.
This dimension of her, compared with the previous (the first part), is completely different from above and below: in the first part, her mother died in a car accident, she could not face the fact that her roommate wanted to kill her In this kind of powerless life, she can only relieve the pain caused by those injuries if she becomes a bitch slut.
So when she was dragged into this perfect dimension, she decided to stay at first. But she discovered that although it was herself, it was another person's life—a life that was completely unrelated to her.
When she found out that she could not recognize the photos on the phone at all, when she talked to her mother but didn't know what she said about their common experience at all, she suddenly realized that she who occupies this dimension is undoubtedly stealing Another kind of life.
She also found that in this perfect dimension, perhaps it is not so perfect: because of the loss of the common experience, the boy she likes is the boyfriend of her best friend.
Xiaocui missed her deceased mother, because in this dimension, her mother did not die, so she did not want to go back. She said to her boyfriend: "I can't lose her again." The boyfriend returned to her: "So what? You already lost her once."
The theme of "Happy Death Day 2" is superimposed on the story of this multi-dimensional universe, and the theme becomes obvious: our unique memories and experiences, painful, happy, sad, and happy, constitute the most unique ourselves . In another seemingly "perfect" dimension, our unique memories and experiences are more important than this "perfect" attribute.
"Happy Death Day" is positioned as a youth comedy horror movie. Regarding youth, "growth", "self", "loss", "friendship" and "love" are all key words. This series firmly clings to these keywords, and when the first part came out, it really surprised me. Compared with the first part, although the narrative is a bit messy, the rhythm is a bit procrastinated, and the sense of horror is slightly insufficient, the second part is still flawed, and the theme is delivered very well.
Of course, for those who haven't watched the first part, it's a bit unfriendly. The Thai boy who I went to see was stunned all the way, thinking it was the heroine who was dreaming or something. But people who have watched the first part will smile knowingly when they see Xiaocui being dragged back to her birthday in this part.
After checking, the director said that there will be a third one. I can not wait any more.
