As always, I'm too lazy to sort out the plot, pick some points that I find interesting to talk about.
Friends who have seen it can read this article if they are interested.
Reincarnation, cycle, parallel universe, Deja vu, butterfly effect, self-salvation, altruism
First of all, there is nothing wrong with the Chinese translation of the title "Reincarnation Party", because it is true that the heroine's perspective starts with the party, and then goes wrong, death, reincarnation, and then back to the party. However, the original English name is more interesting, Russian Doll, which means Russian dolls (domestic dolls are prohibited here *99)
About Russian dolls, quoted from Wikipedia
Russian dolls (Russian: матрёшка) are Russian special wooden toys, generally composed of multiple hollow wooden dolls with the same pattern, usually more than six. The doll is usually cylindrical with a flat bottom and can stand upright. The most common pattern is a girl in Russian costume called "Matlyushka", which has also become the general term for this kind of doll. Matryona, a commonly used female name in rural Russia in the early days, originated from the Latin word mater "mother", so Russia also has the meaning of fertility. It was called "Russian nesting doll" in English, but later it was also made of characters from fairy tales. In recent years, the image of Gorbachev has also been used as a complete set of dolls, and later developed into Brezhnev , Khrushchev , and Stalin. Even political figures such as Lenin have become the image of dolls.
Matryoshka appeared in Russia in 1890. In the past, Russia had wooden apples and Easter eggs. The Easter egg was a crown with a hen, an egg in the hen, and an egg inside the egg. yolk. It is said that the painter Ma Ding saw leave a Shichifukujin toys, the outermost is bald birthday, which sets the seven statues, he was inspired to design a set of toys, engraved by the craftsmen Siweiduoshen gold, he painted himself Yes, it's a girl with a young man, another girl and so on, and finally a baby.
In 1900, Mariudin's wife submitted this set of dolls to the World Exposition and won an award. Soon Russia began to make this doll. And the image is gradually unified to Matroska, and now it has become the image of Russian souvenirs. Other Nordic countries even produce and sell them, but the girl's costume is still Russian national costume.
Well, when it comes to matryoshka, I remembered the episode of "Rick and Morty" that repaired the battery.
Yes, it means a world of sand and a flower of heaven (quoted from William Blake's poem "A Grain of Sand")
The Seven Deities of Good Luck mentioned here are actually from Japan. The Neon Kingdom has absorbed deities from different countries and regions and incorporated them into the local culture.
The Seven Deities of Good Luck are the seven deities of good fortune and wealth in Japanese beliefs. Generally, Ebisu, Daikokuten, Bishamon, Shou Lao, Fu Lu Shou, Biancai Tian, and Hotei are the seven deities of good fortune. The overall image is similar to that of China. the Eight Immortals.
From the perspective of music, the seven-tone scale developed in the West based on the classical music system, namely "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si"
(Here we cue the seven chakras in the yoga system)
7 This number is a lot of magic, from the perspective of the divine figures can tell you copy and paste rhetoric night. But I want to say one thing, the Arabic numeral 8 . If you take a look, this 8 is ∞ if it is brought down . Infinite, positive infinity, infinite loop. That's right, right, it's a loop.
When we discuss the cycle, in addition to the circle in the two-dimensional plane (look at your dial and clock, tut tut) there is also a classic model that is the Mobius ring ( aka Mebius ring , Mobius ring ) Ring or Mobius belt , German: Möbiusband )
Well, so Chinese people are superstitious about making money through the number 8 and it also makes sense from the perspective of human collective consciousness. After all, infinite possibilities are needed, and it’s easier to get rich hhhh
As for the parallel universe, the legends of the major cities have actually said a lot about the science ups, and the level is limited, so I'll just throw some ideas for it.
In my personal opinion, parallel universes can be regarded as both there and not (good unresolved quantum mechanics). We who are originally struggling in the cycle, are subject to the first perspective of "I", and online games have also been played. Stand-alone. But then again, this reality is only one N of the N possibilities. Without observing the collapse, it is indeed similar to a stand-alone game. Entering the event scene and encountering other people and things is like entering a copy of the game. Then the female protagonist/male protagonist has N versions, each of which is slightly different (hhh at least in terms of death) Deja vu, not only the sense of sight, maybe it is just a thought of you in the parallel universe, connecting the universe Of you.
So why is there another heroine/male protagonist whose "I" runs through all versions? (S/L Dafa is good for archiving and reading files)
Who was me before I was born, who was I when I was born, who is me when I grow up, who is it when my eyes are closed?
This is the head of Zen Buddhism, the Gongan of Emperor Shunzhi. I also saw this in the movie "Master Bodhidharma".
Corresponding to the case of the female/male protagonist, the self/past that he stubbornly believed that he could not be changed was finally changed to a certain extent (the merging of the two universes in the last episode) because the "I" did not exist at all. The real me or us is an infinite being that transcends time and space. It is nothing more than watching TV/playing games from the perspective of different versions of me/us in different parallel universes. It's not that the heroine's mother is normal, and the childhood shadow disappears. She let go, accepted, and surrendered. So the pain is just pain, it can be a symbol, a label, but it can no longer define her, the wound finally scars. At the end of the last episode, it can be said that my brain made up for the two of them to create a new, full of infinite possibilities in the future, whether it is a storm or a bright sun to greet them.
Let’s talk about the male and female masters. They seem to be two extremes, one is bohemian, and the other is obsessive-compulsive disorder. In fact, both of them are obsessed. They are obsessed with what they don’t want. They are about to become reincarnation perpetual motion machines. They are two sides of the same body.
And the whole plot of the first season runs through it, is a kind of redemption, a kind of find it out, a kind of pursuit of truth. And in fact, the male protagonist wakes up a bit earlier than the female protagonist, and puts it down. (At least from the timeline of the movie, but maybe it happened at the same time. Jung’s synchronicity~)
The male protagonist got out of the puzzle by understanding his attachment to his cheating girlfriend. The female protagonist is not so selfish and only considers herself. There are also attempts to find the male lead, but it is also for selfish purposes. She believes that the male lead may be the initiator of everything (and the male lead is also the case). In fact, it may be the two people's separate thoughts that created this crazy reincarnation. When the heroine first saw the fucked up hero in the grocery store, but did not choose to help him, let the thoughts flow.
But at the end of the film, both of them awakened separately, but unexpectedly discovered that the other awakened was not in their own universe! ! !
WTF has actually returned to "normal". Some people may just live their lives on their own. In other words, try to pull that confused opponent and give up after several failed trials and errors.
No, not really. The two of them were misunderstood by the confused counterpart in their respective universes, and they did not give up to "remind" each other with the addition of malicious words. This is love! The love that has surpassed the selfish relationship between men and women, it is the heartache that knows how painful the pain is, so there is no way to ignore it!
From selfishness to selflessness and altruism. Both of them walked out of their air-raid shelters, learned how to work hard, and learn how to fight back and forth. Love really requires a bit of courage to work hard, which is why love is sung in poetry.
This kind of altruism and selflessness is the interconnection of all things, the butterfly effect, and the good and evil thoughts of every sentient being that control the plot.
Everyone has a background of dragon set, and everyone is the protagonist actively participating in the writing of the script.
Whether it is the confused male protagonist who is going to die after being drunk by love, or the confused female protagonist who dont give a fuck ab everything. All are worthy of being saved. Everyone is worthy and can be saved, just like the compassion and love of Jesus and the Buddha, the Son of the Creator, Jehovah. That infinite love is the singularity that created these thousands of universes, the big bang that allows sentient beings to evolve in an orderly way, and the first light. May you and I are not afraid of being alone and be with the universe.
By the way, the hostess cat is also a very interesting point, really Schrödinger's cat. (Including the one held by the bridge before falling down the river) Quantum Entangled Cat hhh is also the bond between the heroine and the cat-loving oatmeal that has brought the heroine back on track. I won’t go into it here. Friends of the second brush can pay more attention to the details of the cat.
There is also the tramp, which is also a stroke of magic, and he took the lead in the last Hyakki Yexing. Second brush friends can carefully taste his lines look, a very interesting role. Very real.
Finally, I wish everyone who is still in the reincarnation, don't be afraid to worry, everything has its own arrangements. Everything is a sine wave. The ups and downs are like ocean waves, like Tai Chi. The universe has its own set, and we are not perfect, but what we have to do and what we can do is just relax and believe, and then live forever and try to do what we can do now.
Remember, everything is connected, we are not really alone. I am the snowflake who loves you. See you in the next film review.
Ps: I want to be "Madman" in the next film review, do you think it's okay?
