Any point is the beginning and the end

The first time I watched the premiere, I really didn't waste a big night watching a movie. The plot of the whole movie is compact and logical. Science fiction movies or novels really need people with strict logic, rich imagination and a foundation of physical theory to produce good works. This is true for Nolan, and so does Da Liu. According to my understanding, before watching this movie, as long as you know the Mobius ring, you should be able to understand it. Here's the full spoiler! Hope it helps those who don't understand. Don't look down if you haven't seen your friend.

The first time I wrote a film review, it was not actually a film review, it was just an introduction to the plot, and my level was limited. Don't spray the wrong place. The scientist who invented the algorithm in the future (the future scientist like Oppenheimer in the movie) invented an algorithm that does not conform to the law of entropy increase. If the algorithm is run, the world will be annihilated. He regrets creating the devil and does not want to let his invention The algorithm was used by others to destroy the world, so the algorithm was divided into several parts, and the time reversal was used to put the divided algorithm into the nuclear facilities of the countries that had nuclear weapons in the past (because he believed that these places are the safest places in the world).

And the villain boss (Kenneth Branagh) has a terminal illness, so the collection algorithm wants the whole world to bury him together. The condition for the algorithm to start is that he dies, so the villain boss cannot die before the male protagonist destroys the algorithm.

With such a perverted boss, the future male protagonist was desperate to break the algorithm to prevent the world from annihilating, so he hired everyone (including himself).

Back to the beginning, the future male lead found the current male lead through a middleman, so that he understood the seriousness of the incident and participated in the whole plan. After that, every link, including finding Neil (Robert Pattinson) role), looking for Puglia, approaching the heroine, and approaching the villain boss are all arranged in advance by the future male protagonist.

So there is a male protagonist who finds Neil and finds Puglia together with him, and gets the news of the villain boss, and then another male protagonist finds Jazz, who draws him and tells him to approach the female protagonist, and then another male protagonist On the condition that he destroyed the painting and brought him to meet the villain boss (the heroine's husband), an agreement was reached with the heroine, so with the hero's plan to crash the plane into the vault, they went to destroy a series of operations in the painting.

But the villain has guidance from the future. This guidance is that people in the future store what will happen in a certain period of time at a certain coordinate, and then tell the villain boss the coordinates at different time periods, so the following two things are explained: 1. The villain boss Knowing that someone was going to destroy the painting, it was transferred in advance; the 2 villain boss knew that the male protagonist was peeking on the yacht, so he caught the male protagonist.

After catching the male protagonist, the male protagonist promised to help the villain boss grab nuclear materials (actually it is one of the algorithm fragments, the male protagonist doesn't know it yet, but the villain boss knows about it), and he went to the highway to grab things and chase cars. At this time, he appeared The male protagonist in the positive sequence and the male protagonist in the reverse order are both driving. After the male protagonist grabs the box, the villain boss drives to get the box. Finally, the male protagonist threw the box to the villain, but threw the algorithm fragments in it in the reverse order male protagonist. on the BMW. Later, the male protagonist of the positive sequence was caught by the villain. The villain found that there were no algorithm fragments in the box, so he threatened the male protagonist with the female protagonist. At this time, the positive sequence and the reversed villain boss appeared at the same time. On the heroine's side, the reverse-order villain boss shot the heroine, and the hero also revealed the whereabouts of the algorithm fragments (on the BMW)

Next, I will introduce the most important prop in the whole play: the time reversal device. After entering, you can switch between positive sequence time and reverse sequence time.

Now is the time when the male protagonist enters the time reversal device for the first time, and the female protagonist is injured by a bullet in the reverse order. At the beginning of the movie, it has been stated that being hit by a bullet in the reverse order will cause very serious damage. Therefore, although the heroine was not hit in the normal sequence time, she was about to die. Only the time reversal of the heroine went to the reverse sequence time. At this time, the bullet that hit her became a normal bullet, so her injuries Not fatal. Entering the reverse sequence, at this time, the time starts to go back from the first time the male protagonist enters the time reversal device. First, the male protagonist drives a BMW to the highway where he just grabbed the box and raced. He saw the male protagonist throw the box and throw the debris to him. The scene on the car, and then the car overturned, because he had already told the villain where the fragments were in the normal sequence, so after the car rolled over, the villain took the fragments from his car and ignited the gasoline, because it was the reverse sequence, ignited in the normal sequence world The gasoline of the male protagonist is actually a sudden drop in temperature, so the male protagonist wore a thermal suit before and was rescued. After that, they needed a time reverser to restore the time to the normal sequence, and all the time came when the plane crashed into the vault. place (because the time reverser was there at that time)

After that, because the villain boss collected all the fragments, the plan to bury the whole world began (only now all the fragments are together, which explains why the last fragment must be given to the villain, in fact, it is to draw out all the fragments) fragments). At this time, the male protagonist came to the normal time and joined the army to find the algorithm. The female protagonist in the reverse sequence went to hold the villain boss to prevent him from committing suicide. After a series of big scenes, the male protagonist successfully got the algorithm and saved the world. After that, the three people separated the algorithm and agreed to hide it before committing suicide (in order not to let others know where the algorithm is, this must be done). Finally, the male protagonist got to the car and killed the two people who were going to kill the female protagonist, and confessed that he hired everyone. Then the whole play ends.

In fact, the whole story is a Mobius ring, and any point can be regarded as the starting point or the ending point. So everything is doomed? Is everyone a marionette? Is there no causal relationship?

If you look at the time period from the beginning to the end of the whole show as a whole, then for this whole, yes, everything has happened, and everything you do is scheduled. But if you take the time from the beginning of the whole drama to 1/2 of the whole drama as a whole, then what you do in the next second will also affect the development of the subsequent story, and there is also a causal relationship. The above 1/2 you Can be replaced with any number greater than 0 and less than 1.

This is the plot as I understand it. Hope it helps those who don't understand. Due to the limited personal level, please correct me if I am wrong. Refill after a couple of days.
