congratulations, immortality

Recently, "The Beginning" was broadcast, and "Source Code" suddenly became popular again, and then I wanted to review it again. The last time I watched it should have been three or four years ago.

First of all, we all understand that the source code project was created by the doctor for the purpose of counter-terrorism. Let's ignore the dark side of the high-level personnel for the time being, and just analyze the "source code" itself.

One of the things I don't really agree with in the hot review is that everything the Doctor said to Jack was deceiving him, deceiving him that it was an eight-minute virtual world.

Let's take a look at what the doctor said:

After a person dies, the electromagnetic field of the brain is still energized, the circuit is still open, and the brain has a short-term memory trajectory of about eight minutes, which can record eight minutes of content. Combining the two phenomena, the brain circuit is unblocked after death, the memory bank is adjusted for eight minutes, and the source code can help us use the overlapping part.
But after eight minutes there's nothing, you won't exist on the train, in the source code, you can't exist outside of Fentress' memory for eight minutes. The source code is not a time shuttle, but a reassignment of time, which allows us to enter a world parallel to reality.

My guess is that the Doctor didn't lie to him, the Doctor told him that the source code would allow him to enter a parallel world to reality, but neither of them had actually experienced it, so don't know that parallel world doesn't disappear after eight minutes.

The doctor also said:

Sean's personality, body size, and synaptic map are all very similar to Jack's, so it's a good match.

This can be judged wrong by the behavior of the last doctor, that is, if there is no match, the source code project can also be carried out, but why does the doctor have to ensure that Jack does not die? It may be that Jack's identity and ability have contributed to the country's sense of responsibility, or even the crash may have had a special effect on his brain, making it possible for only him to carry out this plan... Just a wild guess.

We need to know that Jack is not dead, his consciousness still exists, he may be in a vegetative state, and he claims to be dead; but Sean is really dead, but his brain should be kept "on" to maintain the kind of just-dead state. post status. But there is no medical device that maintains Sean's brain activity in the film. It stands to reason that it should be connected in series next to Jack.

I guess for the time being that their brains are connected in series, even if not, there must be a connection. After the source code is opened, Jack's consciousness should have entered Shawn's residual consciousness through some way, and that parallel world is in Xiao Born in the consciousness of grace.

So the first question: Without the medical equipment to maintain Sean's brain activity, can the source code project still work? The answer should be no. This one is very simple.

Let's continue our analysis.

In the middle of the film, there is a wear back that Jack is calling to verify his situation, and then he is told that he is dead, which is unacceptable. At this time, Godwin's voice is heard, and then wears back. The question is, we used to think that death can bring consciousness back, so what about this? I think there are three explanations, one is a bug, the other is a system error, and the other is that the consciousness will come back when there is a rejection, that is, a serious resistance. I personally prefer this statement.

But in any case, we have to know that it can realize the shuttle between the real world and the parallel world, and it is a round-trip shuttle, which is too awesome.

Second question: What happens when Jack's life support system is turned off after the transfer of Jack's consciousness, that is, after the start of eight minutes? The answer is also obvious, Jack will continue to live in the parallel world.

The third question: Can the real world still affect Jack in the parallel world at this time? Like turning off the device that keeps Sean's brain active? If we understand that Jack's consciousness exists in Sean's consciousness, it may disappear after the shutdown, but in fact it is very likely not.

Jack's consciousness creates a parallel world, and the carrier of his consciousness becomes Sean in the parallel world. The shuttle of consciousness can only be done in the above two ways, but now Jack is dead in reality. Obviously, in reality we Nothing will affect Jack in the parallel world. This shuttle of consciousness is really mysterious and mysterious. I don’t know whether to say it’s imaginative or crazy. Anyway, I think it’s pretty awesome.

Then the fourth question: what happens when Jack's consciousness is transferred, that is, after the eight minutes starts, regardless of Jack? Jack will continue to live until he dies... So here comes the point. In reality, Sean's brain should be fine, after all, he is dead and won't age; consider the preservation and renewal of Jack's vegetative body (I don't know if I need to consider it or not, Can it be done) Is it possible for Jack's consciousness to return again, and then enter the parallel world to live again?

Congratulations, you have achieved eternal life. Still in various capacities.

(Just a guess, everyone has a good time)


The parallel worlds seen before PS no.1 are all actions that create a parallel world. This is the same. The difference is that the basis for creating a parallel world is Sean's residual consciousness, so the parallel world created The beginning of the world is the beginning of those eight minutes, which is obviously far from the real time, and the parallel world that we generally recognize before is a branch of the timeline produced by reality. The second difference is that due to the particularity of this consciousness, consciousness can return from the parallel world to the real world, but the parallel world we know before is difficult to go back after entering.

The PS no.2 video is for the sake of distinction, so when it was Sean's face, we saw Jack's face, and it was the same after the last kiss. In fact, it should always be Sean's face, Jack's consciousness.

During PS no.3 's mission, the senior staff, including Godwin, put the completion of the mission as the first priority, and seemed to be racing against time. In fact, they did not consider Jack's rejection and the eagerness to explore their own situation. I think this is a bit like it was deliberately set up in order to show the doctors and their eagerness to save people (chasing fame and fortune), and it is not very logical.

And at the beginning, they concealed too much from the male protagonist, so that the male protagonist kept thinking about his situation, and then found out that he was dead during the exploration process, which made the plot a little lengthy. This allows the plot to develop, but it is not logical. In fact, the most efficient way is to create a convincing background for him, through a situation that is enough to deceive him, so that he can focus on finding bombs.

PS no.4 Tucao

1. Die of laughter, the requirements for the male protagonist are too high. I thought he should have found the bomber after a few times at the beginning.

2. It's so outrageous, "Secret Confidential" doesn't say anything, and also "I can't understand your mood", I thought it was a mistake in the subtitles

3. Good memory

4. Hahahaha why is it a typing dialogue, connecting to the brain and then the brain directly transmits text signals, and then voice answers in reality, why can the brain hear people talking?

5. I didn't see the irony in the first half of the paragraph the first time?
