Jacob's Ladder-literally translated as Jacob's Ladder, started from a concept familiar to people who understand Western civilization or religion-Jacob's Ladder.
In Genesis 28:11-19 in the Bible, Jacob dreamed of seeing a ladder from heaven. Later generations referred to this dream ladder as Jacob's ladder. There is another saying. In Greek mythology, a man named Jacob dreamed of climbing a ladder to the sky to obtain the Holy Fire.
In fact, this is just a natural phenomenon-showing the process of arc generation and disappearance. Two tubular electrodes in the shape of horns, one pole is connected to high voltage, and the other is grounded. When the voltage rises to 50,000 volts, an arc is generated at the bottom of the tubular electrode, and the arc oscillates step by step, climbing up like clusters of sacred flames, just like the legendary Jacob's ladder.
It can be understood in this way that Jacob's ladder is a situational character event that people see in the dying hallucinations. It can also be said that Jacob’s ladder is the path of death to heaven that only dying people can see. I think the reason for choosing such a name is also in line with the plot. However, I always feel that the expression of the four words interception of time and space is really thin. However, the translation of the Hong Kong version is much more appropriate.
Going back to the plot, there are countless terrifying and terrifying faces in the movie-the distorted and distorted faces in the subway, the fleeting hideousness on the truck, the wheelchair in the hospital, the injection of unknown effect, the blood-stained limbs and organs all over the floor. The secret space, powerless struggle.
In the play, the scenes are constantly switched, and the peaceful life and the real nightmare alternately appear, constantly showing the tortuous and obscure changes of people's physiology and inner state in multiple worlds. People can't distinguish between reality and illusion, the illusion of reincarnation spontaneously arises, and the surprises and horrors are unpredictable.
The unpredictable truth makes people look forward to guessing the final mystery-all these are Jacob's ladders-the hallucinations of stepping into the road of death.
I have to say that when I saw this place, it suddenly dawned on me, but I was lost in a daze. The ending is swift and swift, giving people a kind of far-fetched conviction, but it is reasonable, realistic and cruel. Some people think that the ending is still unfinished, others think that the ending is inexplicable, and some think that there is no hatred. But I think that this kind of abrupt halt is the most powerful way to reverse the irresistible plot.
Before, I couldn't imagine what power could make people have such terrible associations and illusions about the unpredictable future, but at this moment, facing the reveal of the truth, I deeply felt the scarred heart.
I agree with everyone: Jacob's Ladder is a deep thriller. It does not stop at the shock of shock and the atmosphere of the scene, nor does it rely on vague and unscientific things to bring people inexplicable fear, but to show people logically from a realistic perspective with meticulous thinking. The injury suffered by his mental and physical body, the horror in the subconscious, and the involuntary thinking in his heart, thus silently questioning the consequences and value of the war.
