The number 237 is a bright spot! The laziest kind of analysis may be the most reasonable. .

Movies like this and the timeline are always cut into eight pieces, and then a bunch of analytic madmen (people with really strong logic and people who think they are very logical) will scrutinize every detail of the film to frame Start a complete story.

Well, from a macro point of view, the story may look like this: In

reality, the heroine is a not-so-good mother, who has always been tantrums with the child because the child is disabled and she is a single parent. Life is very hard. Once on the way out, due to the heroine’s negligence, she overturned her car. After her death, her soul was overwhelmed. After seeing the tragedy in front of her, she suddenly felt remorse and guilt. The next story was her fantasy, fighting against herself. , Struggle with time in an attempt to go back to the past. . Since then, I have fallen into the Infernal Affairs...Seeing this, many people will say that there are many BUG.BUG.BUG...

1. The ship is still very appropriate as a symbol of returning to the past, because the heroine is constantly He and his son had a quarrel over the model ship, and his son was drawing a ship sailing in the sea at that time. The scene before his death became a fantasy environment after his death.

2. Why did the hostess in real life hear the doorbell when she finally returned? Will the son see him outside the window? Because she is just going back to her fantasy past, the world she builds must be logical to give her hope of saving her son. In fact, they are all illusions.

3. Why did the heroine still fail to save her son in her own fantasy, falling into reincarnation again and again, and failing constantly? (Is she a fool!) This is the most touching part of the film. Since everything after the car accident is her post-mortem illusion, the key part is that Sally (the woman who died a tweet on the boat) told a legend that the heroine actually knew it before she was alive, just borrowing In the fantasy, Sally said that (because the characters in the fantasy are all controlled by the fantasy of the receiver's soul), especially when Sally said in the second round, the hostess desperately covered her ears, just because she knew herself The crime, thus imposing an insurmountable punishment on himself. Only then can she fall into the reincarnation of fantasy again, and once again see that the fantasy self has killed the self that she hates, close to success infinitely, and infinitely reflect her eternal love for her son. Tears ran. . .

4. Because it is a fantasy, it can explain a lot of bugs in fantasy, including the momentary transfer of scenes (lz is really lazy...) She can force herself to be frustrated from time to time, sometimes to be normal, and three of them appear at the same time. . On the one hand, the hostess was very resistant to go to that ship, and on the other hand, she returned to that ship, but because she loved her son too much, she gave up jumping out of samsara and fell into it. . In the heroine's illusion, there is no good or bad at all. It's just that she has a different consciousness, and she fights against a differently conscious herself every time. There is no good or bad, just to go home.


If you understand my film review, you may cry in tears when you read it again. Of course, looking at it independently, the perfect logic on the boat is also wonderful.

Pay attention to some tips when rewatching:

1. At the beginning of the movie, the passage that the heroine said while holding her son before the subtitles hinted at the ins and outs of the story
2. The heroine was angrily to see who rings the doorbell when the door is 237! It’s the same as the room number in the fantasy...
3. The relationship between Sally and Heather: Sally went crazy looking for Heather in the storm but couldn’t find it. After boarding the old ship, he kept mentioning this guy who had nothing to do with the story. But when I watched it the second time, I got it, especially since she kept repeating it, we had a chance, right? Heather shouldn't fall into the water, right? In fact, it projected the heroine's guilt for her son. She felt that her son would not have died in a car accident if it were not for her.
4. On the old boat, the man who liked the heroine asked the heroine if it was because of tom (the heroine's son) or was it because of guilt? This is actually a question of the heroine.
5. The hostess wanted to prove that the entity floating in the ocean to Victor belonged to Greg, and wanted to drive away the birds. She didn't have an apple in her hand, but she got one more. . What is so obvious is not called a bug, but it implies that all of this is an illusion.
6. Downey's words "Don't you think this is your thoughts? The ship can't appear out of thin air" appeared 3 times.
7. The hostess came back and said in the car that the woman who was bad to you is not your mother, I am your mother, just like she said to those friends on the boat that it was not me who killed you, she tried to make up for the past .
8. One of the children who watched the car accident was sitting on the ground. The AO on the frame bone was exactly the same as the drum kit on the boat.
9. There was a number under the car window: 752. A lens turned upside down and it was exactly 257,
10. 1932. There shouldn’t be a movie theater on the ship at that time. At the same time, the director once again made it clear that this is an illusion.
