"Source Code" can be said to be a science fiction movie that truly relies on story plot and creativity.
The key point is that this movie is really hard-core science fiction in every aspect.
After all, a concept in itself is enough for science fiction!
After leaving the Science Fiction Film Festival, Li Yi began to perfect the script.
The movie "Source Code" is simple to say the least, but complex to say the least.
For an individual actor, it needs to be repeated over and over again, but each repetition requires the same feeling of performance, so the requirements for actors' acting skills are still very high.
Li Yi himself needs to thoroughly understand the script before adapting it.
He plans to adapt it locally!
In fact, of course he is not short of money, but for this movie, he planned to use the cheapest way to shoot it.
It can also be regarded as a model for some domestic filmmakers!
In fact, this cyclical model and creativity are definitely not the first of Li Yi. Li Yi has watched a Hollywood movie, which tells the story of the protagonist living in the same day forever. When he wakes up every morning, he already knows the whole day.
Everything that was going to happen. Because it was a day that kept repeating, he was extremely tired. For him, there were no surprises or surprises on that day. He understood everything in that world, but nothing could be changed.
The film "Source Code" has the same purpose but is more interesting. The hero has to find the suspect in 8 minutes. When the 8 minutes is up, the train will explode and he will be pulled back to reality. Of course
, he can do it again after failure, but he doesn't have many times. In reality, time is limited, and his body and mind are also tortured.
At the end of the first eight minutes, he was in a daze;
And I didn’t understand what the situation was, or in other words, the first 8 minutes were also a kind of adaptation.
In the second 8 minutes, he started to get into the act; in the third 8 minutes, he took effective measures; in the fourth 8 minutes, he did things more radically and effectively... His style changed from mild to radical, in order to work within the limited time limit.
To achieve his goal within the time limit, he had to do this. He searched for information from trial after trial, summed up and accumulated experience, until he finally found out the murderer. He made many mistakes, but he could "do it again", so his performance
It gets better every time.
Therefore, every 8 minutes seems to be the same, but it can be changed to some extent.
Some ideas are difficult to express in films that depict reality, so science fiction has become a better form of expression. The same is true for this film. Its ideological meaning transcends the plot. The repeated 8-minute story discusses a person's life in the world.
What can he do in such a short time? The answer is that as long as he tries enough times, he can accomplish anything.
In the first 8 minutes of the film, it is actually creating a suspense for the audience. In the second 8 minutes, the audience can notice the man who forgot his wallet. But the protagonist did not notice it because something else attracted him
He was so eager to achieve his goal that he ignored other clues. In fact, he had extremely misunderstood others several times and adopted linear thinking - this is the way of thinking that people usually adopt when they have incomplete information and are not calm.
The last 8 minutes are subversive. The male protagonist disobeys the orders of his superiors and shows the beauty of humanity. What the director arranges for us is the emergence of another world, that is, a parallel world. In that world, the bomb did not explode. Male
After the protagonist returned to the car, he quickly caught the suspect, then calmly called his father, and then confessed to the heroine.
In fact, in Li Yi's opinion, the most essential part of "Source Code" is the ending. Of course, different people will definitely have different opinions.
Some people may also think that the ending is a failure.
In Li Yi's opinion, the most rare thing about the movie is that the male protagonist did not waste a single second of the 8 minutes because he had already figured out what to do before getting back on the train. The scene frozen in time is the most beautiful part of the whole movie.
, Everybody's Laughing - The hero bets $100 to the comedian, and the comedian makes everyone laugh. Freeze is common in movies, but the feeling it brings to people in this movie is extraordinary.
There is a possibility in this movie that the male protagonist noticed the man who left his wallet in the car in the second 8 minutes, and he might catch him - relying on luck. But the movie did not make such an arrangement.
Instead, let him continue to fail, get more information from constant attempts, and then get closer to the truth step by step.
This arrangement is of course intentional, but it is logical, which is also the charm of this movie.
Eight minutes each, eight minutes progressively!
Every reincarnation is trying to make some changes.
Although the ending cannot be changed!
The male protagonist is a soldier, with both wisdom and bravery. We say that such a person needs luck to succeed when performing tasks, which shows how difficult it is to get things done. And constant trying can help him
It is logical to accumulate more capital and eventually find the suspect.
It's a very simple truth, but through the display of this movie, it seems very profound. This movie deepened Li Yi's feelings about this sentence - this is the benchmark of a good movie.
Back on the train for the last time, what the actor conveyed to people was:
Whether it is in bed in the morning or in a moving train, when a person wakes up, if he knows exactly what he is going to do in the next 8 minutes, then he must be extremely happy. Because he already has
The ability to change everything.
The acting in this movie is wonderful, the plot is tense, and the images are pale and beautiful. It ranks among the best movies.
Of course, these are Li Yi's thoughts.
What the public will think if it is actually photographed is not a question he should consider.
In fact, "Source Code" and "Moon" are still closely related, because in Li Yi's memory, the two movies were made by the same director.
From "Moon" to "Source Code", it can be said that these two movies conquered the audience with their real creativity and imagination.
At first glance, "Moon" is easily reminiscent of "Wall-E". An astronaut who misses his hometown lives alone on the moon with only a robot for company. However, as the story slowly develops, until the hero discovers that he is a replica
When the truth was revealed, this little shabby little science fiction film suddenly rose to the level of human ethics. It was as surprising and surprising as a scrawny old man knocking down a hunky man with a few moves in full view of the public.
surprise.
"Source Code" is the same to a certain extent. From the beginning when the male protagonist discovers that he has inexplicably occupied the body of a stranger, he begins to set up suspense and bury the burden, and then unpacks the burden step by step until he discovers that he has become a tool of the military.
, also reveals an official conspiracy involving bioethics, but the clever thing about "Source Code" that surpasses "Moon" is that "Source Code" sets an unexpected open ending.
Generally speaking, science fiction films set up a world view in advance that allows the audience to quickly and comprehensively understand it. "Source Code" takes a different approach. It only vaguely explains a theory about quantum mechanics in the film, and the Source Code project is just a new project.
Even the military has not yet fully understood the new technology that is in the experimental stage, so the movie can have a wonderful ending that is both unexpected and acceptable to the audience.
This is reasonable and unexpected. The story of "Source Code" can be said to bring a new sense of surprise to the audience with its outstanding imagination. I believe that when the audience sees the real ending of the movie, they will all be amazed.
The ingenuity of the movie.
However, although these two films win with creativity, they are not lacking in spirit. On the contrary, in both "Moon" and "Source Code", the director's strong desire for expression can be clearly felt. It can be found in "Moon" and "Source Code"
"Source Code" ultimately rises to the level of bioethics, and all of them involve individuals fighting against the officialdom on their own in an attempt to break through the lies and constraints of life.
Li Yi likes these two movies very much, but compared to "Moon", "Source Code" gives him a warmer feeling and is not as desperate as "Moon"!
It was just when Li Yi wrote the first draft of the script and called a few friends to discuss it together.
But it confused them.
"No, is the male protagonist dead? I don't understand." Chen Wen asked the first question.
"Dead!" Li Yi said.
"Didn't I say that in the plot later?" He didn't understand why Chen Wen asked this question.
"Dead? Not on the verge of death? Completely dead?" Chen Wen asked with a frown.
"Let's put it this way, he is dead. This is a science fiction movie. Let me explain. The first theory based on the plot is that a certain doctor developed a high technology-source code based on the theory of quantum mechanics.
It has two theoretical foundations. First, when the light bulb is turned off, the light bulb still has the afterglow. This is the delayed aperture effect. The human brain is also similar. After death, the electromagnetic field of the brain is still energized and the circuit is still open. Second
Second, the human brain has a short-term memory track, which lasts for 8 minutes and always records what happened in the last 8 minutes.
According to theory 2, after someone dies, the memory of the 8 minutes before death still exists in their brain; according to theory 1, after death, the electromagnetic field of the brain is still energized. These 8 minutes of memory can become the basis for reconstructing the scene, and the energized
The electromagnetic field makes the dead have the same thinking ability as they were in life, and will take different actions according to different situations.
The male protagonist here is already dead. But by using the source code, the male protagonist can have the same thinking ability as he did when he was alive, and at the same time have the memory of the 8 minutes before his death!"
"No, then why is he lying in a cabin? Isn't he dead? Why can he still talk to people?" Zhou Guo also asked in confusion.
"That's right, because this is the scene where we want the audience to see the hero in a cabin, but in fact it is just the hero's imagination. In fact, he is lying in the machine obediently, and every time he and the
The male protagonist she was talking to was actually talking to a machine. She couldn't see the male protagonist, she could only see what he said, and it was displayed in text form.
To put it simply, the male protagonist is dead, but his 8-minute memory trace can be used as the basis for reconstructing the scene. The electrified magnetic field can give him the ability to think, but he is still dead, so people in the real world
, you can only communicate with him through a machine, but in fact, you can think of this communication as a machine using his memory and thoughts to communicate with people!"
"Similarly, using the source code, the male protagonist enters the train scene many times to find the bomber. The basis of the train scene is that the bodies of the people who were killed in the train are in the carriage where the male protagonist is and in the adjacent carriages.
Found, and their brains have not been damaged. But if we infer based on this premise, we cannot explain the part where the bombardier shot and killed the male protagonist. Because in reality, the bombardier did appear on the carriage, but
He had already left when the explosion occurred. Therefore, his memory and the electromagnetic field in his brain cannot be obtained, and we cannot know what the real bombardier will do. The bombardier we see should come from the memory of the bicycle guy. So far
, this idea is rooted in the minds of the doctor and the protagonist, and also in the minds of the audience."
"Wait a minute, is there a bug here?
From the male protagonist’s mouth, we know that the bombardier threw his ID on the train so that others would think he was dead, but shouldn’t the explosion burn all the documents? Then how could the bombardier make others think he was dead? Judge a
The correct way for a person to die is to find his body and his ID at the same time. Obviously, the body of the bomber was not found because he was not dead at all. But a bunch of people can be found from a pile of burned corpses.
Brainstorming and constructing a train scene shouldn't be less difficult than finding people who got off the train in front of the explosion station, right?" Chen Wen asked again.
"No, no, no, you have overlooked one point. The image of the bombardier is real, not from the memory of the bicycle guy. Not only the bombardier's car, but even the bomb placement in the car, these contents have gone beyond the car.
Everyone’s memory category. This shows that the function of the source code is actually more powerful. It has constructed a parallel time and space. The male protagonist discovered this from the process of tracking the bombardier, so he is sure that he can save everyone
life. The male protagonist already believes that the source code can create a parallel universe, and from the audience's God's perspective, we also know this.
Let’s analyze the male protagonist’s time travel. In fact, every time he travels, the male protagonist’s consciousness and memory are projected into another parallel universe. If the male protagonist dies in that parallel universe, the male protagonist will return to the original time and space, and an explosion will occur.
A time and space in which everyone on the carriage died. In the end, the male protagonist traveled to another parallel time and space A and saved the world. At the moment when 8 minutes arrived, the machine was turned off, and the male protagonist’s physical brain in the initial time and space was no longer powered on.
Maintenance, the male protagonist will not return to the original time and space after his death in parallel time and space."
