There are a lot of details in the film, I don't know if everyone pays attention, but in fact, as long as you can understand the details, the structure of the whole film will be clear.
1. About the car accident at the beginning. Many people may think it doesn't make much sense, but this is really one of the incentives for the heroine to discover her identity, because she also went through the same process when she was 8 years old.
2 Questions about Sophie Marceau's life and true identity. The protagonist is actually monica, and Sophie Marceau is just a character derived from her nostalgia for her playmate when she was young. She is an illegitimate daughter who lived in Italy with her biological mother before she was 8 years old. Husband and mother's brother. And at that time, her mother had a very good neighbor who was her adoptive mother. This can be confirmed by the photos.
3 About the identity of monica and Sophie Marceau. A lot of people might think they are sisters, but that doesn't make sense. In fact, they should be the relationship between two childhood close partners, because Sophie Marceau once asked her adoptive mother about moving in the film. The photo also explains it.
4. About the car accident. The car accident is the turning point in the heroine's life and the biggest suspense of the film. At the age of 8, the protagonist's biological mother decided to adopt the protagonist to her best friend, who is also the protagonist's adoptive mother, because she could not bear the psychological guilt. However, when the protagonist moved away with his adoptive mother to France, a car accident happened. The protagonist's best friend, Sophie Marceau, when he was young, and his adoptive father were killed in the car accident, and the protagonist also lost his memory before the age of 8.
5 about the changes in the world of the protagonist. In fact, the world before the protagonist really discovers herself is just a world she fantasizes to make up for her mental trauma. In this world, the home furnishings are those of her childhood home, the adoptive mother is the image of the biological mother, and the husband is the image of the young brother. It needs to be explained here that because the heroine lost her memory, she just gave the subconscious memory to the real image to make up for the trauma. She is not conscious, and there is no explanation for the online sister-in-law love. In other words, the world of the protagonist is not changing, but becoming real in the process of her searching for herself.
6 Ever-changing questions about the protagonist's identity. The perspective of the whole film has always been carried out in the form of the first person, so it can be inferred that the process of changing from Sophie Marceau to monica and then to a young monica symbolizes the three main characters of the protagonist from fantasy to reality and then to regaining his memory. Time stage is an artistic expression technique.
7 Explanation of online doubts. The doubts on the Internet are mainly concentrated in two aspects. One is the position of the hemorrhoids on the child's neck. The second is the question that monica's daughter asks her mother at the end of the film. The explanation is as follows. The change of the position of the hemorrhoid is one of the manifestations of the protagonist's world from fantasy to reality, and the second problem is purely a translation problem. In fact, the original words of the little girl are "Mom, what are you looking at?" rather than "Mom." , who is that sister over there?", otherwise the film would be meaningless.
8, about the ending. The ending is an artistic performance. The scene where monica and Sophie Marceau are typing together symbolizes that the protagonist has really found himself, monica, but at the same time retains the memory of childhood playmates. If it is interpreted as schizophrenia, it is inappropriate.
From the above 8 points, I believe you can already understand the plot. The significance of the film is that the director wants to remind us that each of us has a true self in our hearts, and everyone needs to look carefully. Finally, there is a bug in the film. The heroine has never seen her biological mother and brother since the 8-year-old car accident, but she can imagine how her biological mother and brother look in reality, and they are exactly the same. I don't know if you noticed. OK, just write it here. If there is anything inappropriate, please communicate more.
