After "Ink", I found another movie that can be said. This movie, if you are impatient and insist on getting through the unknown and irrelevant plots of the previous large paragraphs, you will not be able to see this movie until the end. The brilliance of the movie.
The translation of the movie's name as "Accidental Space" is more appropriate. The whole movie spends a lot of time telling two independent stories, and then through flashbacks and other means, the five stories are connected in series. In the last tens of minutes of the movie, not only It solved the confusion about the plot in the early stage of the movie, and also deepened the theme of the movie. It has to be said that it is the real finishing touch.
Never get out of the predicament - if you cause a little accident, one thing will happen to you
On the surface, the two story characters in the film are trapped in a circular space that they cannot get out of, like falling into purgatory, suffering an endless and meaningless cycle; It is another fatal cycle, where one person is both the victim and participant at the beginning, and the initiator and participant of another person's plight later. Between different people, a chain cycle is formed one after another, which seems to be a kind of fate, and everyone is both a victim and a perpetrator.
The police cars, elevators that appear in the movie are all way out and the beginning of another cycle, when Daniel and Oliver are warned not to enter, they both end up entering. Who can persist without temptation despite 35 years of hardship, even if they know that there are problems ahead, they always have to try. When people reach middle age, many things seem to be their own choices, but in fact they have no other choice. The selection, therefore, the cycle goes on and on.
In the end, the bride died on the escalator. She seemed to obey Carl's advice and broke the cycle of happiness in the first half of her life and pain in the second half of her life. A few people were able to withstand the torment of the years and changed this fate; however, nothing is so easy, A child took the hamster from the dying bride and started a new cycle. This is the fate of most people, just like the tattoo on Oliver's brother's neck at the beginning. Late fate, for most people Fate may be late, but not absent.
If narrated in chronological order, the story in the film was first on a train that never stops, and then became a boatman. The boatman on the bamboo raft caused Juan's death. After 35 years of drifting on the river, the boatman died of old age and told Lu Ben's secret of the whole thing, Ruben found the red car incarnation Robert according to the instructions. Robert accidentally killed Daniel's sister Camilla during a trip with his girlfriend's family. After being trapped on the road for 35 years, Robert died of old age. Daniel found it according to the instructions. The police car turned into policeman Mark Anthony. Policeman Anthony caused Oliver's brother to die. After being trapped in the stairwell for 35 years, Anthony died of old age. Oliver turned into a hotel waiter Karl according to the instructions. Karl caused the death of the groom, and finally the bride died of old age on the escalator. advance.
Out of half a lifetime, how can you still be a teenager
A setting in the movie is that people's heart is as important as their physiology, so it takes human sacrifice to wake up and stimulate young people to live a healthy life, so that the real self can spend 35 years better, and in middle age, discover the truth of the matter , fell into a new cycle, forgot his name, and lacked psychological support. In real life, he could no longer obtain psychological energy, and life gradually deteriorated.
The elevators and police cars that appear in the movie are ways for adults to escape from reality. Young people are willing to face the problem and accept the error after the error occurs. The first accident alerted young people, but it was a blow to adults. When you are young, you have the opportunity to change when you make mistakes. The price you need to bear is small, but the price you bear in adulthood is very high. It is inevitable to make mistakes when you are young, and there will be more tolerance and acceptance around you, but when people reach middle age, making mistakes will no longer be regarded as something that is acceptable to young ignorance, not only others can't accept it, but also can't accept it.
As a result, the elderly can no longer obtain energy, and are forever trapped in the past. They will not forget the past. They seem to have forgotten their own names. In fact, they cannot face the escape from the past, but escape cannot solve the problem after all. Therefore, in real life, Young people are happier than old people. "Don't forget your name", "When you remember who you are, you will regret it", don't forget the self who was able to get out of the wrong before, don't run away, and face it bravely.
The plight of the guinea pig and the 70-year curse
A prop that has always appeared in the movie is a small guinea pig, but the hamster that seems to be bound by a cage is also a hamster with a stable life. This cage is not the principle and self-discipline that a person believes in in the first half of his life. After 35 years, he grows up. , into a new cycle, the hamster got out of the cage, but also lost the principles and self-discipline. Just like the hamster in Daniel's hands at the beginning, it was released when Daniel decided to become a policeman, and after the groom was stung by a bee, the guinea pig reappeared in the luggage bag, and at the bride on the escalator, the hamster was trapped in the bride's hand. It entered the hands of another child. Every time the hamster escaped, it heralded the degeneration of the original owner. It seemed to become a handover baton. It seemed to escape, but it actually entered another cycle.
The characters in the movie knew who they were in the first 35 years, but they didn’t know for the next 35 years. They were caught in two accidents in their life, but these 70 years were not real, they were psychological, and they wanted to live a healthy life in the place where they were trapped. In order to send energy and happiness to the real self. However, when people reach middle age, they begin to have similar numbness, similar dullness, and similar disapproval, and the ideals and momentum of youth no longer exist. Life is always boring. After experiencing the polishing of the society, I finally became an assembly line product and lived a life that was unchanged. Facing the frustration caused by failure, I will remember that it was the consequence of my own mistakes. For those who are numb, it becomes very dull, and can no longer stimulate the spark of enthusiasm. It is especially obvious when you are in your 40s, so you will choose 35. 45 must be the age when people are just beginning to sink, because before that, they have to be busy with life, but when they are 45, their family members and themselves have entered the backwater. In ordinary life, especially for those who have forgotten their past ambitions.
Little Red Book's Mission
Each little red book is the next reincarnation recorded, it is another person's script, and the owner of the red book becomes the trigger of the next destiny, and then forgets himself and becomes a foil for other people's lives. Like Oliver releasing the bee, he was lost after completing the task and forgot who he was; after police Daniel shot, he forgot his hair and his card. Suddenly I don't know why I am on the street. These seemingly different plots all end up in the same predicament. Xiaohongben is not only a dividing point, but also a handover of tasks.
But on the other hand, after 35 years of self-discipline and struggle, the new task of young people seems to be to accompany the new young people to face difficulties. Because they forget who they are, they will lead to their own self in the real world. Sinking, on the one hand, the depravity of the previous generation is precisely a warning to the next generation, on the other hand, the next generation is protected by the previous generation when they are young, so they can face life positively and put it bluntly. After all, there is no such thing as a quiet time, but someone is carrying the load for you.
