The main character, Xingxian, is an architect who is a construction worker and lives in 1998. The heroine Eun-joo is a somewhat withdrawn voice actor (from the footage of Eun-joo before her boyfriend went abroad in 1998, it can be found that she still always smiles, so it is inferred that she is unhappy because her boyfriend has less contact after going abroad) , lived in the year 2000. Both had been tenants at the seaside cottage Il Mare, and lived on the same date, but differed by two years.
The wormhole connecting two different time and space in the film is the old mailbox outside Il Mare's house. After Enzhu's experiment, this time-space tunnel can allow items and even ropes to pass through. The stationery, tapes, headbands, black goldfish, etc. that Enzhu put in have all successfully returned to 1998 (unfortunately, the letter box is too small for our protagonist to drill. go in and reach the same time and space).
Xingxian in 1997 and Eunjoo in 1999 met because of the Christmas card left in the mailbox when Eunjoo moved out, expressing fear of missing important letters and asking future tenants to forward their letters to a new address. The 2-year time difference between them is actually very dangerous, because Xingxian's behavior 2 years ago can affect Eun-joo 2 years later. Fortunately, this is a pure love film, and they just became each other's pen pals.
The "Mobius Ring" appeared in the film, and it was said that "the logic of time went wrong". The basis of the story is still very rigorous, and the plot of Eun-joo drinking the wine that Xing-hyun saved to her in 2000 is very moving. Let’s talk about some of the logical details of the film.
1. The name of the puppy Coke
"Coke" is what Eun Joo told Seung Hyun in a letter. At that time, Xingxian just took in the puppy without naming it; of course, the puppy in 1998 knew for the first time that he was "Coke" in the future, so Xingxian tried to call the puppy with "Coke", but the puppy did not respond. However, when Xingxian called "Coke" a few months later, the puppy would already run to its owner on its own.
As for how Eun-joo knew the puppy's name was "Coke" in the future, it's a mystery...
2. The death of Xing-hyun's father
The first time the two "used" the time difference was because Xingxian's father was seriously ill and was hospitalized. There is not much pen and ink given here. I only know that Xian’s father left his son when he was seven years old. Xian’s father should be a professor at Xingxian’s school. Xingxian chose to leave school in the last semester. He is an architect but works on the construction site. rough work.
His father was seriously ill, and Xingxian hesitated to visit the hospital, thinking of asking Eun-joo to find out if his father was still alive in 2000 (this son was supposed to be = =). Eun-joo found a book on architecture in the bookstore, showing that Xingxian's father died in 1998, so she eagerly wanted to tell Xingxian, but she was hit by a car and had to ask her senior to put the book in the mailbox.
Because senior sister unreliably forgot about this, Eun-joo had to re-release the book by herself. This delay caused Xing-hyun to not see his father for the last time.
3. Earmuffs and gloves
The two exchanged small gifts through the mailbox. Eun-joo gave Xing-hyun a fluffy earmuff, and Xing-hyun gave Eun-joo a pair of red gloves.
About earmuffs: Once Xingxian went to the last seat of the subway station (Eunzhu waited for the bus every time), and wanted to see Eunzhu in 1998, Eunzhu only regarded him as a stranger. Xingxian put on the earmuffs given by Eunjoo from 2000, but Eunjoo only noticed Xinghyun wearing earmuffs after entering the subway car. At this time, Eunjoo and the people in the first car burst into laughter-because they Thought this guy was wearing earmuffs so weird, because there were no earmuffs in '98. From the stalls of the hawkers in the subway station, it can be seen that there are only small warm things such as woolen hats and gloves, and no earmuffs are sold. Therefore, earmuffs are a trendy thing from 2000, and people in 1998 have seen it for the first time. .
About gloves: Xingxian expressed that he wanted to meet Eunjoo, and Eunjoo asked him to meet at Yeouido on March 11, 2000. For Eun-joo, it was a date in a week, but Xing-hyun had to wait two years and a week. On the promised day, Eun-joo didn't wait for Seung-hyun, and her red gloves were washed away by the rising tide.
4. Yeouido Lodge
In the letter, Eun-joo said that she liked Yeouido very much. At this time, Xingxian's "architect" persona came into play. He had been doing rough jobs like fitting screw caps on the construction site before, and he began to make drawings for his lover's design of a small house. The drawing hung on the wall of their studio, and Xingxian's friends helped build the hut. On March 11, 2000, Eun-joo saw the hut under construction on the island, and asked Xing-hyun's friend (the girl who had a crush on Xing-hyun), and answered that the hut was built for the designer's favorite. Eun-joo didn't know that the designer was Xing-hyun, and hurried to the beach for an appointment.
Finally, talk about why they are in parallel time and space.
As mentioned earlier, the 2-year time difference is actually very dangerous and fragile. Eun-joo was obsessed with her ex-boyfriend and wanted Xingxian, who was in 1998, to help him tell his former self to go abroad with her boyfriend, or else he would get engaged to another woman when he returned to China in 2000. At this time, Xingxian has fallen in love with Eun-joo, and he still decides to help Eun-joo after struggling. On March 25, 1998, he met Eun-joo and her boyfriend who were sitting in Morning Cafe. When crossing the road, he was hit by a car (and was hit by a car again) and died in Eun-joo's eyes. Before that, although Eun-joo in 1998 seemed to sense something and was uneasy, he still thought it was just the death of a stranger...
However, in 2000, Eun-joo went to the architecture department where Xingxian was working, and saw Xingxian "Ru Uido House", his friend told her that it was designed by Xingxian for his beloved Miss Eunjoo, who died in a car accident while helping a friend. At this time, she suddenly recalled the car accident that her boyfriend witnessed in the Cafe before he went abroad, and understood that it was Xingxian's death. This is crazy, I rushed to the mailbox and sent a letter again, telling Xingxian not to go to the Cafe. The letter paper is a piece of paper torn from the note pad, and the envelope is folded from a yellow paper with a form.
Because Eun-joo in 2000 must remember the car accident in 1998 to send this change of heart, so Xing-hyun must die (…), and Xing-hyun who died is the one who communicated with Eun-joo.
So it's not logical to say that the ending of time travel is not logical, Xingxian and Eunzhu should be in parallel time and space.
# Why is it illogical to go back in time?
Suppose you go back in time, Xingxian in 1998 received a letter from Eunjoo in 2000 and did not die. When he appeared outside the house to see Eunjoo, Eunjoo was moving, and it was estimated that it was before Christmas in 1999. At this time, Eun-joo didn't start to communicate with Xing-hyun at all, and he was ready to tell the whole story.
Not to mention whether Eun-joo believes it or not, at this time, Eun-joo's life cannot be synchronized with Eun-joo's belief in 2000, that is, the time and space have been rewritten and rejected.
# How to say parallel time and space?
Assume that Eun-joo of A dimension communicates with Xingxian of B dimension, Xingxian of B dimension died in front of Eun-joo of B dimension when he went to Cafe before March 25, 1998; Xingxian of time and space communicated, Xingxian of C time and space was asked by Eunzhu to go to Cafe to prevent her boyfriend from going abroad, and died in front of Eunju of 98 years in C time and space...
For example, Xingxian of B time and space received the letter of A time and space Eunju Xin, did not go to Cafe and did not have a car accident, Xingxian of B-space felt Eun-joo's heart on March 25, 1998 and decided to go to Eun-joo to tell the whole story.
Which Eun Joo will he appear in front of? In front of Eun-joo in 98 years of time and space.
At this time, Eun-joo hasn't started correspondence yet, her boyfriend may have just left the country or not yet, will she be with Xing-hyun?
Even if they are together, Xingxian originally loved Eunjoo after 2000 years ago, right?
Will he continue to communicate with Eun-joo in A dimension?
As seen in the film, he went to Yeouido on March 11, 2000. Who can he meet? Eun-joo of time-space B did not know that she had this agreement with Xingxian (she had to communicate with Xing-hyun of time-space C, 1000 words were omitted below), Eun-joo of time-space A was ahead of Xingxian by 2 years, at this time she was already 02 years. (It can be seen from the pictures of the two that the weather is also different, Eun Joo's seaside is cloudy, Xingxian's seaside is sunny)
All regrets point to the name of the movie - due to the dislocation of time and space, Xingxian and Xingxian who are in love are in love with each other. Eun-joo has always been an "untouchable lover". Xingxian's original words are that if we don't meet in two years, we have no fate.
Therefore, the essence of this love is to love each other in different time and space, and become each other's dependence in another time and space.
-------------------- I am irresponsible dividing line ---------------------- ---------------
1. This film tells us to be careful when crossing the road, and to see the traffic clearly, dear!
2. From the perspective of the puppy Cola, the title follows Xingxian all the way to the front of the house, pitifully begging for shelter, what is going on with this point of view, director!
