First of all, this movie is really meaningful, writing the life of an ordinary person in this world. Young people should listen more to the advice of older people because he has finished the path you are taking. It also tells people a truth, that is, do not do things that intentionally hurt others, so that the hurt and the hurt will be silent for a lifetime in self-blame, sin and sorrow. And the grief endured by the victims' families will be reduced to hatred and will continue to be passed on to others, and the injustice will be repaid, and then the cycle will be endless.
Secondly, the plot has a profound meaning and is difficult to understand, which has become an obstacle for some movies to move towards high scores. The figurative "reincarnation scenes" in the movie are actually "people's psychological dilemmas". Therefore, the previous reincarnation and the next reincarnation represent "psychological dilemmas." Movies mean "getting out of trouble," not "getting stuck in it." Because life is originally composed of one dilemma after another, our task is to get out of one dilemma after another. There are a total of 5 dilemmas mentioned in the movie, in order, water, highway, stairs, corridors, escalators.
Because logically, the fourth dilemma should be "Karl", that is, the "younger brother" acts as the "guide" of the next generation, that is, the person who dies accidentally in the corridor cycle is a man, and the old man who dies should be the "brother", and the woman who comes out of the cycle is the woman. Since the "women" who appear are dying of old age, it can only mean that this is already another cycle. So, I seem to understand that there is no fifth loop, the escalator and the corridor are different scenes of the same cycle, which explains why the costumes are the same.
So why is it that the woman who should be the "guide" of the next cycle is dying in this cycle? It can only be understood that she followed the advice of her "brother" and did not choose to go out of the loop, but spent the rest of her life in this cycle. They are trapped in an infinite loop of space and cannot get out. Hard work, anxiety, disappointment, abandonment, waiting to be content with the status quo. Isn't this our life, bound by a state of life, need food and clothing and dare not leave. Afraid of change, afraid of being ridiculed by others, I dare not divorce, and then I am trapped in my own stairwell and cycle back and forth for a lifetime. Now that we can choose I want to bravely go out: But it's still just thinking about it...
Because each infinite loop of scenes must require three characters, a middle-aged man with a successful career, a young young man and a person who is about to die due to accidental injury. The bride at the beginning of the film is the young man, who can be seen lying on the circular corridor elevator for many years, indicating that she has listened to the advice of the hotel attendant and chosen to stay in the endless corridor elevator for the rest of her life. Not passing it on to others ends the circular space that has left generations confused, painful, and desperate.
Finally, whether it is O'Neill or Ruben in the film, if you don't enter the elevator or enter the police car, there will be no beginning of the next reincarnation, and it will not end their current reincarnation, which is also reincarnation, why can't you get out of this reincarnation? Out of this reincarnation, the next reincarnation can increase the joy of life, but how to treat yourself? Each reincarnation is also a question worth exploring for ourselves! Or face life positively! Can't immerse yourself in the past! The content in the movie can be said a lot, but it is not easy to explain, and once it is explained, it falls into logical thinking. There are philosophical books or Buddhist studies that have experienced enlightenment, and watching this movie will be easier to approach. In short, this film deserves high scores and is destined to be niche.
