Because of its high reputation on the word-of-mouth list, and because of Duncan Jones' amazing "Moon" last year, I have been looking forward to it for a long time. In fact, the stories of the two are not uncommon in magazines such as "Science Fiction World", but because under the industrial assembly line like Hollywood, a sci-fi film with a certain depth can often win applause, while The "Inception" that was praised to the sky is a vivid example. Of course, the difference between text and images is also a reason, such as "The Time Traveler's Wife" that was put on the big screen. In short, I am not writing this to complain, and it is definitely not a comment. It is just to rationalize my thoughts.
The story of "Source Code" is set in a modern society where the periphery of science fiction is not strong. The claustrophobic environment in which the protagonist is located at the beginning is full of instruments to remind the audience that this is a science fiction film, and then it is repeated Returning save and load, in the interval of reset, only through the dialogue between the male protagonist and Goodwin can viewers understand the pre-plot of the film: the military is doing an experiment to prevent terrorist actions, and the male protagonist plays the role of It's the hero who has been lusted after countless times by men in the United States. Of course, as a sci-fi movie, a scientific term that sounds awesome is necessary, and the explanation of this concept naturally requires you to freeze the frame and think about it carefully. Yes - such a plot can appear in almost any commercial blockbuster, so most of the time about the film is to follow the old path of the predecessors, such as "Source Code" and the like are better just pay attention to Eliminate the contradictions in the details and bury the clues, so as not to be full of loopholes in the end, thus shooting yourself in the foot. So what we talk about here absolutely not this part.
According to common sense, the final ending of such hard sci-fi movies is definitely the finishing touch, and it can also cause a certain range of quarrels. The extension exceeded their expectations, so he traveled to the parallel world before the train accident, and successfully lived eight minutes away, but the Stevens in that world no longer existed (in fact Yes, he died two months ago), he used Sean's remaining eight minutes of memory to transition time, but what he couldn't change was Sean's external form (the one reflected in that huge silver ball is Sean's absolute non-Stevens), all that changes is ideology. Previously, the doctor warned him that no matter what he did, it would not change the existing society, because it is a parallel world and does not affect each other. Unfortunately, the development speed of science often exceeds people's expectations.
As for that poor Sean, he just played a link so every time Stevens is reset, he will hear the same words from Christina and the same things that happened in a very short period of time, like playing a game, for example, there is a save file before leaving the boss During the period from the point to the final defeat of the boss, at the beginning, what you encounter will have some similar plots, which are set by the program, like Sean's memory is loaded, and when you SL many times Then you know what's going to happen at a certain time, and just like Stevens in the film, in the subsequent reset, Christina thinks he's predictable, but all the sameness just happens at about one point. In a few minutes, he is changing the parallel world on his own, just like you can't reload the game every time you can pass the same routine, you will definitely try different ways.
And finally Goodwin received a text message from Stevens from a parallel world, and it is easy to be confused about the order of time. In fact, the movie uses a little trick, that is, the timeline is suddenly turned from clockwise to the opposite direction. Since Goodwin came from the doctor's office to the location of the capsule, it seems that the place and time have not changed, so it will be smooth. In her habit of thinking it was her going to see Stevens again, when in fact it was most likely the first time she saw him.
It is said that when it comes to this film, the kiss must be mentioned. I do not deny its artistic sense. I just want to say that Duncan Jones is not a rookie who just graduated from film school. He knows what he wants to do, and there is no end in the end. So bad.
