* "Beginning" is on fire, the first hot drama of 2022. The topic of the cycle of time has also caught fire because of "The Beginning". Well, you must watch "Horror Cruise", the same reincarnation problem is much more brain-burning than "Beginning".
"Horror Cruise" is a well-known classic horror film, and everyone who has seen it has successfully been brought into the plot, falling into sympathy for the heroine who can never go out of the dead cycle.
The reason why people are terrible is because of the sense of helplessness that is irresistible for the mysterious and unknown world, and the sense of powerlessness that cannot be changed and cannot be avoided by the established ending.
In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was thrown into an infinite reincarnation hell for deceiving the god of death, and was punished with only one thing a day, that is, to push a stone up the mountain, roll down and then push it up, endlessly, endlessly.
"Horror Cruise" quotes this myth, suggesting that the heroine also entered the reincarnation hell to be punished for deceiving the god of death.
The story is very simple, but the plot is very brain-burning, and I basically can't understand it without brushing it two or three times. The heroine, Jesse, is a single mother with an autistic son, who had a crush on the handsome Greg while working in a restaurant, and was invited to take her son with her on his yacht to go to sea. Jesse, who had come home from the previous reincarnation before the appointment, killed the "self" who had beaten her son and yelled at him, and then she hugged her scared son and said, "It's all over, you just had a dream." Never beat you again. Notice that this is both the confession of the heroine and the reason why she is caught in a dead cycle.
A mother who is full of guilt for her child, refuses to accept the reality of her son's death, fantasizes about the tragic story of everything that has never come and started again.
First, human beings who do not accept defeat often lose easily to their own obsessions
At the beginning of the film, when the heroine appears in the yacht marina, the people and the audience in the film think that she is wrong. Her trance and sluggishness, anxiety and eerie expression arouse the curiosity and interest of the viewers to find out. Watching the whole film and then recalling this moment, it is precisely the heroine who is in a huge regret after losing her son, her obsession is not to accept, she wants everything to start again, as if nothing happened.
And life never has an if, only a result. In a lifetime, it is inevitable that everyone will have a time of regret caused by the difference between one thought and the beginning. For the mistakes that have been cast, timely recognition of stop loss, acceptance and let go is a positive attitude towards life, and those who have been immersed in "if" for a long time and refuse to let go of themselves are all lost to obsession. The so-called one thought of heaven and one thought of hell, the results of life are not the same.
A fat girl of more than three hundred pounds, after countless weight loss failures, turned to a doctor because of the risk of sudden death caused by obesity. The doctor offered a condition that she would only agree to help her if she had eaten strictly according to the recipe within a month, controlled her habit of binge eating hesse, and lost 30 pounds. The girl finally obeyed the doctor's advice and eventually got help from the doctor. If she refuses to follow the doctor's advice and continues to eat and drink indiscriminately, she will still be reincarnated in the strange circle of weight loss + failure + continue to lose weight + continue to fail.
Second, bad emotions are weapons that hurt people
The heroine of the film is young and beautiful, pulling her son with autism alone, the embarrassment of life and the abnormality of the child make her in a long-term irritability and anxiety, so she often yells at her son and even beats her son, and she will regret it after each time. Therefore, the film arranges that when she returns home every time she is reincarnated, she is angry when she sees the "herself" in the house insulting and beating her son, killing her, and after killing the previous "self", she vows never to hit the child again. However, after only a few moments of work, in the car, he had a manic attack because of his son's incessant crying, which led to a car accident. Her killing "herself" actually implies that she wants to change and say goodbye to her old manic self.
"How to speak, the child will listen; how to listen, the child will speak" wrote: There is no disobedient child, only parents who cannot speak. The sicker the child, the more important it is to pay attention to certain skills in communication. Nonviolent communication will not only help the child's development, but also invisibly avoid many personal injuries caused by emotional loss of control. In the news, it is common to see cases of grumpy parents causing serious harm to their children because of their mistakes.
Third, if you don't turn back, God won't be able to save you
After the heroine of the film took death's car to the dock after the car accident, death asked her: "You will come back, right?" The heroine answered him affirmatively, but walked towards the yacht without hesitation. Therefore, the god of death, who saw through the heroine's heart, punished her with infinite reincarnation. And when they got on the cruise ship after encountering a storm and their partners were killed one by one, the heroine suddenly remembered that she was a person trapped in infinite reincarnation, so she tried hard to stop everything from continuing, hoping to stop reincarnation. Although her three reincarnations in the film are different, without exception, each time is a new beginning of her pain.
The truth is that as long as she lets go of her obsession at the scene of the car accident and follows death happily, the reincarnation will naturally end.
The god of death is also a god, man has humanity, the heavens have heavenly rules, and God's destiny is difficult to violate. If you don't turn back, God won't save you.
Chinese often say that the one who overcomes himself is strong, but it is difficult to overcome himself! Caught in the infinite reincarnation of "Horror Cruises" is not just Jesse, the single mother? Those who are lost in the pain of yesterday and the past and refuse to extricate themselves, and who repeatedly open their scars, which one is not reincarnated in pain in hell, who saved Xianglin Sister-in-law?
What can't go out is not fate, it's your heart.
