Every minute can change everything

From the point of view of the storyline alone, there may not be much of a standout (just my personal opinion). The rich second generation failed to deal with the fuck buddy relationship with his friends. Before true love was at hand, he did not change his friend's car and got into a car accident. The friend died in the car accident. After the car accident, the male protagonist had a mental breakdown and a big change in his personality. The departure of his best friend and Sophia made the male protagonist completely discouraged. He signed a contract with the LE company to freeze, carry out the Lucid dream project, and create his own dream. Then the dream turned into a nightmare, and he woke up. Decided to go back to reality.

The main line of the plot is very simple, but the director is very good at plot interludes and plot shaping. I didn't understand what was going on when I watched the 135-minute movie for more than 100 minutes. Especially in the middle of the male protagonist, in order to escape the guilt of Julie and Sofia, he imagined the plot of killing Sofia, making it difficult to tell who is Sofia and who is Julie. Dreams and reality are constantly interspersed, both true and false, making people addicted, you want to explore the truth more than the male protagonist in the movie. It was not until the last technician appeared, all the mysteries were solved, and the truth was revealed, that he was relieved.

In general, the whole movie is very fascinating, not distracting, and it is progressive, there are a lot of hints to the audience in the details, the BGM near the end is very good, "it's not a loss to invest in shares". As for the last impression after reading it, I can only say, do it and cherish it, Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.
