Chapter 1647: Although not very scientific, it is a perfect story

Although "Source Code" is a science fiction movie, love is a topic that can never be avoided.

There is also the concept of returning to the past.

It also makes people compare it with "The Heartbreakers"!

“Although Heartbreaker can travel through time and space, it cannot change the world!”

"They are completely different concepts, right? 'The Heartbreakers' is about traveling to the past, the real past, on the same timeline, in different time nodes of the same world. If they change, then reality will be affected. 'Source Code' is about parallel time and space, so even if it changes, it will not affect reality!"

"Why did the 8-minute parallel universe in Source Code become the real world? I don't understand!"

"That's right, you don't understand! Because I don't understand either!"

There are also many people discussing love.

"The basis of the film is parallel time and space. Once you understand this concept, it is not difficult to understand the plot. Some people have complained about the ending of the film, thinking that the story should end when the hero and heroine kiss and time freezes, which is a relatively romantic ending and the plot is relatively easy to understand. However, they don't know that the next few minutes are the essence of the film, which perfectly interprets the parallel time and space.

In the real world, He Qing felt that the hero had paid a lot and felt sympathy for him, so she risked losing her job and gave the hero the most precious 8 minutes. In just these 8 minutes, the hero really saved the world and himself! After 8 minutes, He Qing fulfilled her promise and pressed the source code stop button, and the hero really died in the real world.

The moment the stop button is pressed, time freezes and it seems that everything is over. However, all good things have just begun. A parallel time and space begins and everything is just like the real world.

In this parallel universe, He Qing received an email from the male protagonist, but she seemed a little confused because she didn't know what happened in other universes. The male protagonist was still lying there and might be sent to carry out a mission at any time.

Some people say that it is difficult to understand the plot of "Source Code". In fact, it is mainly about understanding a theory: these infinite universes are each on their own timeline and are running parallel to each other.

The matter and physical laws of each universe are the same, but the events are not the same. We can use a tree diagram as an analogy. When time and space reach a causal event point, there will be several branch lines leading to different event results. In the parallel universe theory, there are infinite event points and branch lines, so there are infinite time axes, and there are infinite different universes in progress.

According to this theory, it is not difficult to understand the plot of "Source Code". Can we think that every time the hero returns to the train for 8 minutes, it is a different parallel time and space? The heroine not only encountered misfortune in the real time and space, but was also blown away in many time and space, and was shot to death in one time and space. However, in one time and space, due to the intervention of the hero, she escaped and is about to start a happy life.

After witnessing different and repeated deaths in explosions, the male protagonist began to suspect that some things seemed to be able to change, so he asked He Qing, do you think there is another self, a He Qing who made different choices and chose a different fork in life.

Whether parallel time and space exist or not, current science has not yet given a definite answer, but in real life there are many unsolved mysteries about parallel time and space.

On the Earth we live in, there are too many phenomena that cannot be explained by current science, all of which are considered unsolved mysteries of the Earth. Some scholars believe that mirages are the accidental appearance of another parallel time and space in our time and space, while most people explain it as the refraction of light.

Parallel time and space are actually nothing new. They have long been recorded in ancient books or legends. However, with the passage of time, the original real events have also been regarded as myths or legends.

The story of Lankao Mountain that was once recorded is about the time it takes to play a game of chess in one time and space, while in another time and space, dozens of years have passed without you noticing. Therefore, there is a saying in ancient times that "a day in heaven is a thousand years on earth."

According to the theory of parallel time and space, parallel time and space are independent of each other and do not intersect, but everything that happens in the time and space of the real world seems to have a great impact on other time and space, and can even affect other parallel time and space.

If someone told you that this universe has countless parallel time and space, and in each time and space there is a you, with the same name as you and doing similar things, would you believe it? Would you be shocked?

For a while after watching the movie, I felt lost. If there really are so many parallel universes, what kind of life will I have in those universes, and what kind of stories will happen? How will what I do in this universe affect myself in other universes?

Speaking of love, the love in "Source Code" is actually a very interesting and atypical love.

For the male protagonist, the female protagonist actually did not have such deep feelings for him at the beginning, but we all know that there is a saying that goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. The two have been through so much, and although, in the world of the female protagonist Chen Juan, it seems that they have only experienced it once, but for the male protagonist, they have experienced life and death together many times!
How to go from strangers to familiarity, and then to love until death?
The actor told us that it only takes eight minutes!
The final kiss can actually be said to be a natural result of a series of changes in the hero's attitude towards the heroine, from stranger to familiar to infatuated.

Of course, the premise is that the heroine already has a crush on the hero! "

However, "Source Code" is a science fiction movie, and as we all know, science fiction movies are rarely completely perfect, and "Source Code" is not the kind of movie without any bugs.

But it does not stop the movie from being popular.

According to the film critics, "This is not a very rigorous science, but a perfect story!"

"The film begins with Lin Yunbin suddenly waking up on the train, and begins a suspenseful story: he becomes another history teacher named Li Zheng, and the heroine Chen Juan is Li Zheng's friend, or a man he has a crush on. The interesting part is that Lin Yunbin doesn't understand what happened to him. He doesn't recognize himself now, nor does he recognize Chen Juan and everyone on the train.

A terrorist bomb was installed on a speeding train, and the explosion occurred on this train, leaving no one on the train alive. After the explosion, he returned to a closed warehouse, where he gradually realized that he was actually dead, but the professor used the "source code" device he invented to retain his undestroyed brain waves, and then used brain waves to communicate with him. The most attractive part of the source code may be the tight plot that is linked together, as well as the unconcealed thinking and step-by-step questioning of human nature, and the questioning of who I am, who created me, and who determined me.

Philosophically speaking, the only freedom a person can have is the freedom to choose, which is also known as free will. In this respect, Captain Lin Yunbin at least has the freedom to choose death, even if this choice brings him such a different ending.

He finally lived in this train and world whose ending was changed by him. In the film, he went back to the eight minutes before the explosion many times, bringing different futures and endings to the people on the train and the woman. The professor who created the source code said that all of this was an illusion, but in the end Lin Yunbin really lived in that world that should have been an illusion. Does this mean that those dreams and fantasies that we deny once existed in reality?
8 minutes, the time is short. Every time I wake up, I am waiting for Chen Juan's warm and charming smile, waiting for the protagonist's answer to my questions. I shuttle between "reality" and "illusion" again and again, and every time I wake up on the train, I will start a conversation that is not so tense, a little warm, and a little reluctant to interrupt.

The reality of being dead and used in scientific experiments is too cruel, but Chen Juan's smile makes all this terrible thing seem less important. This movie involves many theories such as memory source code and parallel space, which are difficult to fully understand. Let me talk about what I understand. Human beings are born with beautiful aspirations, and this is also true when facing various difficulties. After the tense and exciting scenes, there is always the girl's warm smile again and again, which is warm, down-to-earth and beautiful.

I will always remember that scene, the eighth minute, when he and his girl were bathed in the firelight. It was probably the most beautiful scene I have ever seen in this movie!

Of course, there is no need to worry too much. As long as the basic logic is self-consistent, some bugs and unscientific aspects are insignificant.

What’s important is that a good story is told, that’s enough!
Have you ever thought that at a certain time and place, in this world, you are left with only a piece of limbs, and a wisp of obsession and consciousness that has nowhere to go, and you, relying on the memory of the dead eight minutes before death, become the source code. In these short eight minutes, you travel and grow, experience and understand.

Have you ever thought that there is another me in this world, with the same appearance and personality, but starting from a certain turning point, having a different life and ending from me? If so, I just want to tell you: everything will be fine!
In this world, every minute, every second, I may be a different self, and I just want to live a good life.

In fact, it was not until the end of the film when the two people stood in front of the shining building that I suddenly realized that time and space are multidimensional. It is not just the space you think. In the intersecting and parallel spaces, maybe you have realized your wish, you can truly live with the one you love most, or even save the world.

This is really comforting, so there is no need to regret the people we have lost and the things we have missed, because there must be a space where we coexist with each other, where we make up for our mistakes in this world and live happily and truly.

That’s enough, isn’t it?”

The brain-burning, suspenseful and romantic aspects of "Source Code", "Source Code", and so on have been discussed by countless people, which in itself proves the excellence of this movie.

"Source Code" is certainly not a perfect work. In fact, there has never been any perfection in this world.

But for many viewers, this is a warm and beautiful suspense film!

that's enough!
"The idea of ​​using the memory of the last 8 minutes of a person's life after death to find clues to solve a case is not really new. But in the setting of this film, it is necessary to use a person whose body is dead but whose brain is still alive to enter the time and space established by this memory, which leads to many entanglements in human nature. The film has indeed done a lot of work on this. In comparison, there are fewer explanations on the technical aspects, and there are some things that don't make sense, but compared with the beauty of the film, these flaws are not a big problem.

Yes, I think this film is beautiful and warm, even though it has a lot of suspense and tension. Its warmth and beauty lies in the fact that, in the end, everyone gets what they want (except the terrorist, of course). The protagonist reaches an understanding with her father and finds love in the new world. Her girlfriend and the passengers on the same bus escaped and continue to live happily, even though they didn't know they were going to experience a disaster.

The female operator followed her conscience and disobeyed her superior's order, but she was not punished because of the influence of the new world. Even the inventor of the source code, the ambitious cripple, although his success finally bypassed him, he was still full of hope and fighting spirit. In a movie, everyone gets what they deserve. Can you say it's not warm and beautiful?
The long freeze shot near the end was very touching. The hero and heroine kissed passionately, and the other passengers all had happy smiles on their faces. Although it was a bit deliberate, it really warmed my heart. It added a good annotation to this warm and beautiful film.

Of course, there is also a puzzled thing, that is, why did Li Zheng, the real history teacher, whose body was occupied by Lin, disappear? So he doesn't seem to have gotten what he wanted, but thinking back, the film actually revealed that the heroine was originally dissatisfied with Li Zheng, and the relationship between the two was far from close. The hero finally conquered the heroine on his behalf, maybe it can be regarded as helping him get what he wanted, right?
In this way, we have suspense, science fiction, discussion of humanity, family affection, and love. It can be said that what else are we not satisfied with?

For those who are worried about whether the ending would be more perfect if it just ended with that kiss, I personally think that is totally unnecessary.

Because first of all, this movie is labeled science fiction, not romance!
Therefore, it is destined that love is not the main theme of this movie. If it focuses on a kiss, it will be a romance drama, and if it focuses on the parallel world, it will be a science fiction drama.

Science fiction movies are valuable because they are tough, but they also need to be set off by human touch. The previous part has laid the groundwork, and only death can return to reality. The story after the last kiss makes us realize that this is not a love movie, but a science fiction movie, a parallel world. "
