The mistake that almost all film critics make

Almost all film critics fail to notice two things: the translation of the two universes, primary universe and tangent universe, and the endless chain of cause and effect

1 Translation problem I don't know why all the high praise movie reviews are in the original universe and offline universe? A tangent is a tangent that does not have any intersection with the curve except the point of tangent to the curve. Therefore, the appropriate translations for the two are "main universe" and "cut universe" which is tangent to the main universe. According to the book, the creation of the cut universe was caused by extremely rare accidental damage in the fourth dimension. If the one-dimensional world is a line on the paper in the high-dimensional view, then there may be a breakpoint - a grain of sand mixed with the paper caused a bulge. In the movie, my personal understanding is that the main universe has stopped due to the collapse of the time dimension and needs to be repaired, just like we should remove the sand, smooth the paper, and fill in the breakpoints. The cut universe is unstable and can only exist for several weeks (28 days). After the collapse, the cut universe will produce black holes that may eventually swallow the main universe.

2 The causal chain. In order to facilitate the subsequent understanding, let’s briefly talk about the plot: The universe was created by the damage of the fourth dimension, and the sacred object is the object that marks the universe. After the emergence of the universe, the male protagonist realized his mission under the inevitable trap set by the manipulated dead, and had to use his ability to repair the main universe, so on October 30th, the relic engine of the universe was returned to the 10th. The main universe on the 2nd of the month. Note that the engine has no causal logic to the main universe, or just has causal logic but doesn't make sense to it. Here's the question: why send the relic to restore the main universe?

Because it is necessary to set up a causal cycle at this moment, in order to make up for the impact of the time rupture. Sort out the causal logic chain: An accident occurred in the fourth dimension and the universe was created, and at the same time the engine was smashed to the male protagonist as a sacred object -> The male protagonist in the universe was called out and not dead -> The engine was returned to the main universe after 28 days in the universe Smashing down, this is the time when an accident occurs in the fourth dimension, and the universe is created—>...... Fixed corruption in 4th dimension.

Second, there are other circular chains, such as the Deathbringer. Let's take a look: the rabbit guides the male protagonist out of the house --> guides the male protagonist to release water --> gets to know the female protagonist --> guides the arsonist to imprison Jim's mother to do things for others, and can open a party --> the female protagonist dies --> shoot to death Cos Rabbit's Frank——> Incarnate Rabbit to contact the male protagonist through the fourth dimension time and guide the male protagonist out of the house——>......and the female protagonist, just by coincidence, transfer to sit next to the male protagonist, the family There are mental patients, so it is easy to resonate. And on the last night, my mother disappeared and came to find the male lead... All of these are inevitable traps, guarantee traps.

3 Another brain hole, why doesn't the male protagonist send other sacred objects back to the origin of the cut universe to influence the historical trend of the main universe and avoid the future corruption of the fourth dimension? Because the time is broken, the sacred object can only be sent back to the moment when it broke, which is similar to the left and right limits of the function.

Does the hero have to die? It should be, unlike the cut universe, the main universe has no hidden guidance, and the engine for no reason will definitely hang if it falls down.

The teacher said that cellardoor is the most beautiful word in all time. cellardoor generally refers to the wine cellar, the door of the wine cellar where wine is stored all year round. Does this imply that the door of the wine is the door of the old lady's room that no one has been to all year round, so is the male protagonist pushing the door for the sake of the wine in his heart: the answer to time travel?

Donnie Darko quotes

  • [Pommeroy is reading to the class from the 1954 short story "The Destructors" by Graham Greene]

    Karen Pommeroy: "There would be headlines in the papers. Even the grown-up gangs who ran the betting at the all-in wrestling and the Barrow Boys would hear with respect of how Old Misery's house had been destroyed. It was as though this plan had been with him all his life, pondered through the seasons, now in his 15th year crystallized with the pain of puberty." What is Graham Greene trying to communicate with this passage? Why did the children break into Old Misery's House? Joanie?

    Joanie James: They wanted to rob him.

    Karen Pommeroy: Joanie, if you had actually read the short story, which, at a whopping 13 pages, would have kept you up all night, you would know that the children find a great deal of money in the mattress, but they burn it.

  • Gretchen: Um, where do I sit?

    Karen Pommeroy: Sit next to the boy you think is the cutest.

    Karen Pommeroy: Quiet! Let her choose.
