"Parallel Forest" is a science fiction film directed and written by Zheng Lei and starring Zhao Xiaodong, Tang Xiaoran and Liu Weisen, which appears in the film as an alternative time and space travel.
The woman Du Yan, together with her husband Bai Ling and brother Du Gang, guarded the forest resort and lived in it for a while. What made Du Yan angry was the car accident she had made herself, in which her son was killed, but she and her husband BaiLing survived. As long as her brother Du Gang mentioned the car accident, Du Yan would run away like crazy.
When Du Yan inspected the forest with a shotgun, he found something strange. That is, she found a similar self running away, so she took a shotgun and shot it, just in time to hit the fleeing self. By the time she drove the boat to the scene of the incident, she had already escaped without a trace. But she was not reconciled, but looked down the forest path and found nothing. Back at the clubhouse, he told her husband BaiLing about strange things, and Bailing didn't believe it, and said that she had a problem with herself. In fact, that forest area is where atomic energy was once studied, and parallel spaces appeared after it was abandoned.
Du Yan explored on his own and found her husband Bai Ling from another time and space, but Bai Ling did not think that Du Yan of this time and space was his wife. He and Du Yan discussed well, and they were going to take the rope through the forest to see what was there on the other side of the forest. And when he crossed for the second time, he did not come back, Du Yan went to look for it, and stepped into another time and space. However, he was kidnapped by her husband and brother in another time and space, saying that he was a monster. Because in that heavy time and space, she could no longer bear the pain of the car accident, jumped out of the window and fell to her death. Her husband and brother wanted to kill her, but fortunately, the husband of a different time and space could not bear to kill Du Yan, who had crossed over, and let her go. She could not go back to the original time and space, and found the white ridge that had crossed over, but found that it was no longer the original white ridge. After several twists and turns, Du Yan found the White Ridge that had crossed over, and the secret code was also correct. Bai Ling told her that if she wanted to return to a certain time and space, she would have to kill herself in that time and space and replace it.
Before Du Yan broke into another time and space, he found the body of Bai Ling in the woods and knew what was going on. She traveled to a time and space, but was knocked unconscious by another Du Yan who had crossed over. Another Du Yan found Bai Ling and Du Gang, but heard a call from his son. Du Yan burst into tears. She traveled through a lot of time and space, and finally crossed to the time and space when her son was still alive, and finally got the ending she wanted.
The film belongs to the small cost of production, that is, to find a river, the woods by the river is the place where time travels, and there is a villa, and there are one or two motorboats in the river. The characters are very simple, there are only three people, Du Yan, Bai Ling, and Du Gang, and the main role is Du Yan and Bai Ling, even if the role of time and space travel has no special effects, but the character cognition is biased, there is a situation of getting lost, but there is not much too attractive place. Therefore, the so-called parallel forest is only a false illusion deliberately created by the director or screenwriter, the purpose is to let Du Yan travel back to the time and space before her son's accident, and make a wish for her. And after unremitting efforts and various killings, she was finally able to travel to the time and space before her son did not have an accident, which is a kind of success in traveling through time and space.
The plot of the film is relatively slow, there are no special effects, there are no thrilling elements, most of them just work the logic of thinking, which makes people feel a little brain-burning, but they still know the true meaning of Du Yan's travel through time and space.
"Parallel Forest" is more like a self-media movie, or a kind of drama, but the stage background is replaced by a real landscape. The scene remains unchanged, the characters do not change much, it is said that they have traveled through time and space, Du Yan still has to duel with himself, and he must follow her husband in another time and space. It sounds bizarre and strange to think about, but it doesn't seem to have changed much, and it leaves people speechless.
I have never seen such a time and space travel, nor have I seen such a parallel forest, nor have I ever seen such a story. In fact, it is a simple film, but the idea is a little twisted.
