Zero. Core Concepts:
1. Bubble domain: the bubble-shaped space formed by the alien meteorite hitting the earth, radiating from the lighthouse as the center, and the closer it is to the center, the stronger the impact.
2. Refraction: A way of affecting genes through forms such as electromagnetic fields or radiation. The internal operating mechanism is unknown, but the external manifestations are "mutation" and "copying", etc. The visual imagination refers to "kaleidoscope". Examples in the film: shark-toothed crocodile, talking grizzly bear, replica deer, wall painting soldier (slightly..), humanoid tree...
1. Analysis of the key plot:
1. The climax scene of the whole film in the lighthouse - true and false heroine: After the alien cloud group copied the heroine, the most critical concept in a weird and terrifying fighting scene in the lighthouse hall is—
1.1. The heroine has been "refracted" and eroded by the alien metal cloud, accelerated into the appearance of an alien metal man, and was finally exploded and burned by a phosphorus fire grenade.
1.2. The cloned heroine was also "reversely refracted" by the heroine, accelerated to become the real heroine, and escaped from the bubble domain! ! !
1.3. After the real heroine who was burning finally stroked the head of the real hero who also committed suicide with phosphorous fire grenades, she chose to climb the altar of alien creatures and do what she thought she could do last (with the mother of alien creatures). The nest perishes together), but this feat has no meaning for saving mankind. Because the purpose of extraterrestrial creatures to manufacture all these facilities has been achieved, the perfect life carrier (replica male and female protagonists) has been created, and the bubble domain has no value to continue to exist.
2. Purpose of extraterrestrial creatures: All replicating creatures are created by extraterrestrial creatures in order to select their best life carrier on earth. It is not necessarily for the purpose of aggression and occupation of the earth, it may just be because the form of "it" in its own planet or cosmic space is not equally applicable to the earth, and it is urgent to find a physical carrier that can best adapt to the local environment.
4. The authenticity of the testimony of the heroine: The person who was watched and recorded was actually a replica heroine made in the lighthouse. All her testimony was carefully designed to hide the real purpose of alien creatures.
3. The true identities of the two at the end: The two who hugged at the end were replicas made by alien viruses.
4. The true identity of the female psychiatrist: After ten years of analysis, her consciousness has been eroded by alien life, and she has become a puppet broker who provides DNA samples.
5. The heroine is the chosen one, and her entry and copying are a meticulous plan: the female psychiatrist's obvious appreciation for her many times (a military scientist, both capable of fighting and research) is an affirmation of her .
6. The heroine cheated: It became the reason why the heroine said "I owe him", which was also used by the female psychiatrist as an incentive for her to apply to join the team and enter the bubble domain.
2. The whole plot process:
1. The psychologist sent the male lead team into the bubble domain
2. The male protagonist became the first person to successfully enter the lighthouse and was copied.
3. Alien Cloud felt the special bond between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, and decided to design the female protagonist to enter the bubble domain for absorption and copying.
4. Copy the male protagonist back home, and was successfully captured by the Paoyu Research Institute to bring the female protagonist into sight.
5. The heroine team enters the bubble domain. At this time, the psychologist has determined that the heroine is the most suitable candidate, so they follow the entry decisively to ensure that the final replication plan is foolproof.
6. Through the fight of the shark-toothed crocodile (Fight) and the understanding of the concept of "refraction" in the bubble domain (Learn), these two seemingly unquestionable but must be carefully designed "tests", the female protagonist officially realized the alien life The first candidate for the earth carrier. After completing the final induction (killing the black girl, forcing the schoolboy glasses girl to death), the psychologist of the alien life left An Ran and arrived at the lighthouse ahead of schedule to wait for the arrival of the heroine. (This can also explain why she can reach the increasingly dangerous center of the bubble area unscathed, because she is part of the bubble area)
7. The heroine entered the bubble domain, and the long-awaited psychologist officially started the second replication project, and completed the reproduction of the heroine in the splendid kaleidoscope special effects, and then passed through a terrifying and strange scene in the lighthouse. Ontology
3. Supplement: Implying foreshadowing interpretation -
1. Wrist tattoos: People with tattoos are all selected people. Excessive encyclopedia interpretation of tattoos is meaningless. In fact, they are just a group of experimental subjects marked with samples.
2. Water cups: Both the male and female protagonists of the clones have a close-up of a finger pinching the water cup, which proves that the two have the same identity.
3. Neat skeletons around the lighthouse: Those neatly arranged skeletons are the failed products that were previously selected by the psychiatrist to help the alien boss to enter the lighthouse but were abandoned because of imperfection.
