This is a movie that makes people gossip,
But before I talk about this movie,
We must popularize this real mysterious and bizarre catastrophic event
--Diatlov Incident.
------ the events of that year------
On February 2, 1959, in the northern Ural Mountains of Russia, nine ski climbers died mysteriously, and because their captain was named Diatlov, the event was also called the Diatlov Incident, and the trail on which they died was also named the Trev Trail.
The climbing party consisted of ten people at the time, and the destination was Otorten Mountain (this mountain means "don't go" in the local indigenous Mansi river language), but one of them fell ill halfway and quit halfway, so he became the only survivor.
------ the ------ of the incident
According to the investigation afterwards, the suspicious points of this bizarre death are as follows:
1, the tent is separated from the inside, which shows that the team members take the initiative to separate the tent, and then even the clothes are too late to wear, only wearing intimate clothing, emergency panic to flee the tent. The temperature was below minus 30 degrees Celsius.
2. Several of the deceased were near and far from the tent: three who clearly wanted to return to the tent lined up in turn, and two who died next to the fire in the woods should have been the first to die, and they were stripped naked and provided for others to wear. The farthest one died in a river stream. A girl's tongue was gone. A man's skull was broken.
3, their clothes found to have radiation, some family members claimed to have found their faces at the funeral was orange, became like sunburned, hair is gray.
4. On the body of a female member, a piece of cloth that did not belong to any member of the group was found
5, there are signs of fire, and even the 5-meter-high branches have been broken. It shows that someone once climbed a tree.
6) Experts claim that their fatal injuries cannot be man-made.
7, there are two corpses without eyes, all organs were sent to the official test, but no results flowed out.
8. The surviving team members said at least one diary and one camera had disappeared.
------ three guesses------
The film "Darof Incident" is based on this event. Regarding the bizarre death of mountaineering that year, there are three speculations that are more mainstream:
The first guess, probably because of the avalanche, was that they cut through the tent and escaped. But experts have refuted this speculation because they came out of the tent and ran at least a kilometer.
The second guess, legend has it that there are aliens in this mountain, I don't know if you believe it or not, in short, it is unconfirmed.
The third speculation was that the Soviet military had a secret research base in the local area at that time, which was related to them, but this speculation was never officially endorsed.
------ Cycle Closure ----
In short, the story of the film is about five contemporary American college students who retrace the path of the past, hoping to make a documentary and find the truth.
There are a lot of things that I don't understand throughout the movie, but I have a guess, will these five people cross the mountain in the process of climbing? Let's re-enact the logic of this movie:
It all started when they traveled around the time of the accident in the 1950s during their climb (the supporting evidence is that they themselves felt strange that they should not have arrived at the site of the accident so quickly. ）
We speculate that this is a perfect loop of closed loops:
The heroine and the photographer found the abandoned military cave entrance and encountered an avalanche that night (it is not possible to confirm whether the avalanche at that time was man-made, such as the avalanche caused by the deliberate explosion of the Soviet military, hoping to kill all those who approached the military base and cause an accident).
After the avalanche, the five escaped from the tent, essentially carrying nothing but a video camera. Dennis (who was in charge of the radio) died in an avalanche first; Andy (a skilled mountaineer), was injured.
At this time, the photographer sent a signal bomb, hoping that someone would see it and come to their rescue (the signal bomb was orange, and at this time they remembered the interview, and the grandmother who participated in the 1959 mountaineering disaster rescue said that there was once a time when someone saw orange light in the sky on the other side of the mountain).
The flares apparently attracted death, and two unknown soldiers appeared and shot and killed Andy, who was unable to move because of his injuries. The remaining three men fled toward the cave gate, where JP was also shot and had a hard time opening the gate (note: the gate was locked from the outside, seemingly to seal the contents and prevent it from coming out. They fled into the cave, and then the gate was locked by the people outside, and they couldn't get out.
They encounter a monster inside the cave, and JP is eaten by the monster's tongue and mouth; the heroine and the photographer are herded by the monster into a strange cave.
Of course, in the process of escaping in the cave, the heroine and the photographer found a second camera of their own (it must be noted here that the photographer has a camera in his hand, and the second camera they found in the cave is exactly the same as the one in their hands, and the content of the camera is also what they shot before, but unfortunately, just when they want to see what the camera ends with, this mysterious camera that is exactly the same is out of power. ）
The heroine and the cameraman also found two mysterious execution chambers, one with many corpses; one with four large iron hooks, you know, the kind of big iron hooks in the slaughterhouse. In short, the cave is so dark and terrifying that they are eventually cornered by the monsters (note that the monsters don't eat them).
The heroine and the cameraman are in the cave, find the wormhole, and in a dilemma, decide to go through the wormhole, hoping to return to the outside of the cave, because the cave gate locks two monsters inside.
Sure enough, as they expected, they crossed the wormhole, both unconscious outside the cave (as can be seen later in the film).
But let's pull back the clock a little bit. Pull back to the moment they crossed, restore the specific facts, will the details be so? The American Five, supposed to have had an accident on the night after the mysterious death of the Russian team on February 2, 1959, and the difference in time between the two catastrophic events should not be much (the evidence is that the cave has been abandoned; in the interview, it was mentioned that the locals had seen orange light).
The American schoolgirl and photographer traveled through the wormhole, activated the radiation, and somehow traveled from their time and space to the time and space of the Russian team of nine, causing all kinds of strange disasters and killing nine people. It is speculated that at the moment of crossing, an avalanche also occurred in the time and space of the Russian team of nine people, they fled, and then met the heroine and photographer who crossed the radiation into a monster, and were chased and killed by these two radiation monsters, and after the death of the nine people, the two monsters also fainted in the snow.
Then the people in the 1959 Darof rescue team found two more bodies (the grandmother said that she and her brother saw two more bodies, a total of 11 bodies, and also saw a strange thing, which should be the camera. Of course, the two extra corpses were carried into the cave by the Soviet military in this time and space, and finally the cave was attacked by two awakened monsters, abandoned and locked.
This explanation of the truth can explain both the radiation problem and the non-human damage problem.
At this point, a perfect time and space has crossed the loop twice, and this is fate.
Of course, this is only this movie, the interpretation of the Dalov incident in 1959, the truth of the facts, is still buried in historical time and space.
