dreamlike vision

Is this sci-fi? Focus on parallel space? cross?
If it is, this film is indeed full of loopholes as the previous friend said. And the wormhole leading to another parallel space is simply rudimentary - a broken door at the end of a narrow passageway hidden in the corner of the block, without a lock. Across such a door that anyone may accidentally enter by mistake, the two worlds 5 years ago and 5 years later are running in parallel, and they can even communicate with each other! Science fiction movies are too childish to do so.
I don't know if I saw that Stay was sick or what. Now as soon as I see the protagonist dying, I immediately think that the following plots are all dreamlike hallucinations. And many of the plots in this film do have many similarities with my own dreams:
1. In a very familiar neighborhood, there is a dark and damp passage that is usually neglected and blocked by trees. I don't know what's on the other side, but I know that I should walk over and take a look. This is a scene that often appears in my dreams.
2. When the male protagonist found out that behind the door was the world of 5 years ago, he did not appear very panicked, thinking that he was crazy or something, and immediately went to save his daughter as soon as he realized it. Because the dream was woven by his own consciousness, he knew clearly in his heart that this was the world five years ago.
3. The male protagonist was hit by a truck as soon as he got up, and his legs were always lame. This kind of inconvenience often happens in dreams.
4. The male protagonist buried his corpse 5 years ago in his yard, a place that is not hidden from everyone's activity area, and buried very shallow. Smells and maggots have not moved, which is rare in real crimes; but in dreams, because of the fear of being discovered by one's own actions, it is easy to dream that the evidence of the crime shows traces.
5. The female neighbor who has affair with the male protagonist can immediately see that the male protagonist has changed a lot in a day, while the wife and friends who get along with him day and night do not notice it at all. This does not make sense in reality.
6. At the birthday party, the guests in front of the male protagonist suddenly seemed to be a little older, and the music slowed down. It seemed that the male protagonist's memory of these people was mixed in five years later.
7. At the birthday party, the male protagonist's good friend walked straight to the burial place through a drawing of his daughter, which is illogical in reality. In fact, even the daughter herself did not know where the body was, only that she had changed her father.
8. When the boy friend found the body, all the guests got into the house because of the rain. And in a relatively open and unobstructed place not far from the room, the fat man killed the male protagonist's friend and disposed of the corpse. After disposing of the corpse, the guests seemed to know nothing, like a dream, not in line with reality.
9. Fatty suddenly changed from a passerby who complained about the noise affecting his lunch break to the leader behind the people who came back in 5 years, preventing the male host from saving his wife and daughter. It was like in a dream that the image of passer A was borrowed to act as a Dangerous role.
10. When I came back to wash my hands after disposing of my friend's body, the pool in the clean room was very dirty, like a product of consciousness.
11. When the male protagonist wanted to bring his wife and daughter back 5 years later, in the aisle, the wife and daughter became farther and farther away, suddenly disappeared, and finally appeared on the bed at home, but the dangerous fat man seemed to suddenly appear omniscient. This fragmented fragment is like a dream.
12. In the end, the block was suddenly filled with people who came from the world 5 years ago. After 5 years, the world seemed to collapse into chaos. I feel that in sci-fi movies, this process will be presented more gradually and logically.
13. The male protagonist's car hit the regeneration door, and as a result, the aisle collapsed like an earthquake, and the blockage can no longer pass. It is too childish to say that it is sci-fi, like a kind of consciousness created in a dream symbol.
Maybe because I am a dreamer myself, so I have this understanding. I guess what the movie is trying to express seems to be something like this:
The male protagonist caused his daughter to drown his wife and left him because of cheating. This kind of remorse still lingers for 5 years. After being turned away by his wife for the last time, he came to the swimming pool where his daughter drowned in despair, knelt down, and plunged straight into the water to commit suicide. At this time, he only heard his daughter's last words before she died: what are you waiting for? He just wanted to see her daughter after she died. So the fantasy appeared in the water: he came to the seaside, it was a beautiful place like paradise, and his daughter ran from a distance.
Later, I feel that the scene where the male protagonist was rescued by a friend was to connect the plot, create suspense, and guide the audience to think that this is reality. In reality, everything that happens in the future is a dream-like illusion that occurs when the male protagonist is unconscious.
In the phantom, the male protagonist came to the world 5 years ago and saved his daughter in time. He watched his daughter shed tears at the bedside of his sleeping daughter, which made up for his most painful regret, and the dream fulfilled his greatest wish. At the same time, he also has remorse for the wife he didn't cherish before. In the illusion, they reunited, and the male protagonist said to his wife that I love you.
Of course, since the screenwriter at the end of the film did not give any explanation that the whole world was an illusion 5 years ago, the above speculation can only be regarded as a personal understanding.
This film still looks quite emotional, but I personally feel that if it is viewed as a film about hallucinations and dreams, its plot description is too complete, and it loses its psychological impact. However, the regret of the father for losing his daughter and the happiness of his wife and daughter after they have been lost are still clearly felt. That being said, this film is really neither thrilling nor depressing, on the contrary it is quite warm. The deepest impression is that when my daughter hugged the male protagonist reluctantly because she didn't learn the flute, her petite body made the male protagonist unable to breathe as if she had been electrocuted.
In addition, how can several people think that the male lead is ugly? Is there something wrong with my aesthetics? I think the male lead is very deep and his eyes are very tasteful. . .
