Parallel worlds and time vortex

A friend told me that the source code is a supernatural concept film of soul + human reincarnation. The main point is that the protagonist, Captain Curt Stevens, has only the upper body left, uses technology to attach to a bombing victim, and then keeps going back and forth to reincarnate a bombing case until the murderer is found.

Of course I disagree with this statement, because this work is an excellent science fiction work, especially about the physics time splitting theory that I admire the most – parallel worlds.

The 8 minutes mentioned in the film is actually a time vortex, or it can be interpreted as one of the convergence points of many time streams. A time vortex involves the continuation of endless parallel worlds. The most direct scene that reflects my point of view is that near the last scene, the two protagonists walk into a dome. Countless people in the dome map out an inconsistent vortex, while the male protagonist walks into a dome. Seeing a different self in the mirror image of the dome means the non-single continuity, relational anomaly, and surface changeability of the parallel world.

The assumption of the parallel world is that there is a common connection between the characters; when the time rift, which is itself a tributary, is brought together at an intersection by the connection of the hypothetical factors, and then branched in different directions, a huge bracket of the parallel world is formed. And one of the incidents in the movie touches the point that there is a world terrorist attack - a single factor variable - triggers the source code plan to start, the independent variable X - the protagonist enters the source code, and then successfully resolves the event to get the result Y - finally dies, then Y is more Factor variables are introduced to the intersection and enter a new parallel world! This change and causal variables lead to endless - A&B & infinite - parallel worlds!!

In the new parallel world, again because the old terrorist attack has been solved, and the new terrorist attack is about to start, the source code plan is restarted, the most The key and exciting thing is that if this point of view is true, then the movie may not be the benchmark measurement point as the center of the world from the beginning, but may be one of the thousands of parallel worlds of endless images.

As a new generation of sci-fi film directors, my skills are very deep, but although the ideas are good, the expression is still a bit obscure.

I believe there will be more good movies in the future, and look forward to new works.

    When I saw the male protagonist appear as a string of text on the computer screen, I almost cried.

    This is really a classic ethical issue. If one person is sacrificed to save millions of people, is it justified? The answer given by this movie is: as long as the free will of the parties decides to make such self-sacrifice, it is justified, otherwise it is unjustified.

Source Code quotes

  • Max Denoff: [telling a joke to the train passengers] Woman always mess up my last name. I was with a girl the other night and she kept calling me "Getoff." She was like, "Getoff! Getoff!" I'm like, "No, it's Denoff. Denoff." She says, "No, you're fat and you're heavy. Get off!"

    Colter Stevens: [to Goodwin] If you're reading this e-mail, then Source Code works even better than you and Dr. Rutledge imagined. You thought you were creating eight minutes of a past event, but you're not. You've created a whole new world. Goodwin, if I'm right, somewhere at the Source Code facility, you have a Captain Colter Stevens waiting to send on a mission. Promise me you'll help him. And when you do, do me a favor. Tell him everything is going to be okay.
