If I were to say that the advantages of "The Beginning" can be many:
Filters are comfortable and tightly paced.
And the tradition of the midday sun: the script is solid.
But the most gratifying thing is that the role of female college students in the play finally let a young actress play.
Even when "The Beginning" was just filmed, Zhao Jinmai was not yet 18 years old, and she came to play Li Shiqing, a junior student, or a bit of "overage" to star.
This also means that there is no longer a need to deliberately rely on makeup and filters to cover up the traces of age on the actor's face.
However, a "not very friendly" news is that after 13 episodes, "Beginnings" is about to reach its finale.
Well, the 5 big questions it left behind, it's time to unravel.
First, is the current plot the last loop? Is there a next time?
That should be for sure.
After Officer Zhang died due to the explosion, not only did many viewers in the barrage hope to "reopen", but even the two protagonists, Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing, were emotionally difficult to accept.
Referring to the previous li shiqing when li shiqing first called the police, officer Jiang was also on the bridge deck with the passengers on the bus, because of the explosion killed.
In addition, in the fourteenth episode trailer, Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun sat in Officer Jiang's car together, and in the process of driving the car, Li Shiqing closed her eyes wearily.
This should indicate that it is the last cycle.
Second, is the real ending just "saving" one more officer Zhang?
I'm afraid not.
In the latest cycle, Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing almost did it perfectly:
In addition to handing the "pressure cooker" bomb to Officer Zhang a little late, which eventually caused Officer Zhang to die, but at the very least, the other innocent people on the bus were rescued.
Wang Xingde and Tao Yinghong, husband and wife, were also successfully arrested.
Is this really perfect?
I think that with the consistent characteristics of the noonday sun, the real ending may be like this:
Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun entered the cycle again.
After the last "successful experience", this time the action, like a full rehearsal party, if there is no accident again, Officer Zhang may be able to survive.
However, this is not enough.
The key point that Li Shiqing wants to find, in addition to saving two other people: Wang Xingde and Tao Yinghong.
And Wang Mengmeng is this key point.
Third, 5 years ago, what did Wang Mengmeng experience on the No. 45 bus?
In the original work, Wang Mengmeng "may" meet a "sex wolf" on the bus.
And he is also a "habitual offender" on this line.
However, in the TV series, the plot of the second half has been greatly changed compared to the original work.
In the play, if Wang Mengmeng did meet the "sex wolf", why did she have to get off the bus in the middle of the most dangerous bridge? Officer Zhang said that bus drivers generally undergo emergency training, if such a situation occurs, they will generally close the door, then call the police, and then to the next stop, handed over to the police for processing.
A brain hole opened by netizens is still a bit interesting:
Wang Mengmeng was the first person in the cycle.
And compared to xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing's small cycle, she is in a big cycle.
In order to save the lives of the passengers on the bus, she sacrificed herself, and then, jumping out of the loop, let Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun enter the loop later.
Only when Li and Xiao find the clues they left behind can they break the cycle they are in.
In this way, all of them can be back on track.
The cycle is completely lifted.
At present, it can be known that the information and clues left by Wang Mengmeng are most likely still in her mobile phone at that time.
Fourth, why does Xiao Heyun's health get worse and worse after each "reopening"?
Probably from the eighth episode onwards, after each cycle restart, Xiao Heyun's physical condition has become worse and worse.
And it is also from this episode that the "Mobius Ring" that appears at the beginning of the film begins to turn red.
Judging from the consistent "detail control" of the noonday sun, this must be implied, and it is also in the cycle of these two episodes that Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing "reopened" the time, which will not be advanced again.
So why is Xiao Heyun's physical condition getting worse and worse, and Li Shiqing has obviously experienced more cycles than Xiao Heyun, such a situation is not obvious?
Because Xiao Heyun should not have entered the cycle.
When the cycle returns to the original origin, that is, when the time is frozen before Tao Yinghong gets on the car, the damage he suffers from each subsequent cycle will more or less affect his physical condition.
As for why Xiao Heyun could be pulled into the loop, but the second-dimensional teenager Lu Di couldn't.
This is a good explanation, because when Tao Yinghong and Lao Jiao got on the car, it was the last time node of the cycle, Xiao Heyun was much earlier than this point in time, and Lu Di was at the stop after the two of them.
Fifth, the most perfect explanation of the Möbius ring.
As a typical topological graph, the Möbius ring was discovered in 1858 by two German mathematicians, Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing.
In our three-dimensional space, the Möbius ring is an almost "magical" existence.
5 years ago, Wang Mengmeng had a series of abnormal behaviors on the bus, such as having to get off the dangerous bridge, calling his father, not having the slightest intention of calling the police, and consciously looking back.
This shows that she is likely not to encounter the bus "satyrs" or more simply "sat through the station".
Rather, she is in a cycle that opens the "Mobius Ring," in which she learns that the bus she is on will be hit by a truck behind her, killing everyone on board.
But Wang Mengmeng is like Li and Xiao, too bizarre things, no one will believe.
So she wanted to call her father (the person who believed in herself the most) to explain all this, but the phone did not get through, and she had to force the car to prevent the tragedy.
The following series of events are perfectly placed in the Möbius Ring:
Wang Mengmeng's death triggered an explosion planned by his parents;
The incident triggered by the explosion made Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun enter a dead cycle;
Li and Xiao's small cycle is not broken, and Wang Mengmeng can only be in an infinite cycle and can never get out.
Write at the end:
Recently, I have chased several episodes of "The Beginning" in a row, and it is indeed very top-notch.
Many people are discussing where is the biggest bug in this show? Didn't Huang Jue play a driver who initially looked "unremarkable"?
However, the above 5 major points of view belong to the subjective views of Xiaobian, if there are different opinions, we welcome everyone to actively discuss.
