Creativity is good

I want to talk about the second part together when I
watched "Death Illusion 1", I thought that this movie is like "The Sixth Sense" about what happens after a person's death. This movie has always given me this feeling after watching it. , also reminded me of a movie that also told about what happened after some people crashed and died. I forgot what it was called. Moreover, there are some texts of time travel interspersed in the movie, but I don't always understand it very well. I thought that the whole movie was really about some hallucinations after death, or the monologue of a mental patient, especially the plot of the rabbit movie in the classroom, which is really misleading.
However, when I saw "Death Illusion 2", I found that it was not just like this. In order to make it more obvious, the movie did intersperse some time travel plots. However, I always feel that these plots are not very useful. They should only be used to make stupid people like me see it more clearly. It does not help the creativity of the movie and the development of the whole plot. It should be said that it is dispensable. . Only then did I really understand why the movie kept saying "Only you can save the world".
The movie seems to be expounding on an illusion that exists when time travels, and that most people forget after some time travel. And the death of some people is doomed and cannot be changed, otherwise it will face the end of the world. Before facing the end of the world, those who are going to die in the future can travel back in time to tell the person who was chosen to die - you go to die, so as to avoid the death of so many people, and to avoid the end of the world. It is wrong to deceive the god of death! Speaking of which, it suddenly reminded me of "Death is Coming", in "Death is Coming", death is almost a kind of fate, no one (in the series of Death is Coming, the impression seems to be that only two people survived, and That movie looks weird, a little different from the others) can deceive the god of death, and in "Death Illusion", it seems that people can escape some death disasters with the help of people who will die in the future, but this way is to be punished, that is - he will cause the death of these future dead people and face the end of the world; if no one helps him escape the disaster, then the future dead people will be all right and there will be no end of the world (It feels so contradictory).
Overall, Illusion of Death is a good idea.

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.

    [the class gasps]

    Karen Pommeroy: Quiet! Let her choose.
