The first time I watched it, I was a little confused, I just thought it was very arrogant. Later, I read the ending commentary part twice, and finally understood some loop rules.

The first scene in the film is a continuation of the second, where Daniel ignores Robert, gets into the police car, and enters the second loop in the stairs. Then, when I was about to die, I remembered that I was Daniel in the road world. I got into the police car because I didn't listen to the old man. And Robert entered the road because he didn't listen to his instructor, who also spent 35 years on the train. At the end of the film, the young man in the stairs entered the elevator and became the old man on the 30th floor. It goes on like this, and the cycle goes on and on unless there is a person who dies alone in the world.

Along with the transmission, there is also a phenomenon that after the young people of the previous world enter the next world, one of the young people will die because of mistakes. Robert's friend - Huang, the older brother in the world of stairs, the groom on the 30th floor.

In the medium that seems to break the cycle, there will be some items placed to give the person a new identity, police badges in the police car, etc., and waiter costumes in the elevator, but I still don’t know why they forget their own when they come out. identity.
