Main line of the film: Jess drives his son to the dock and is invited to go out to sea with his friend Greg. An unfortunate car accident happened on the way, and both mother and son died. However, Jess, who became a ghost, did not leave, nor did he fool death, but still went out to sea alone. As a result, a dialogue in the film came true: in Greek mythology, eros, who cheated death, was punished. He pushed a boulder up the mountain every day and watched it roll down, repeating it every day. Jess, like Mr eros, was punished by a painful cycle.
This main line is clear, and there is no doubt that the key question has also appeared: what kind of cycle has Jess experienced? I thought it was just one big cycle plus two small cycles. After boarding the ship, Jess saw that the first group of people died, and then saved the second group of people who boarded the ship (failed). After understanding everything, he killed the third group of people (except himself), and then was thrown into the sea by the third group, returned home and became the first group again. This is seen from Jess's first perspective in the film sequence. This understanding seems reasonable at first glance, but as long as you push it step by step, you will find that it is all wet. The fact is by no means so simple.
To understand this film, we must first figure out a question-how many Jess are there on the cruise ship? We answer according to the most time: three. They can be named 1: "Jess who just boarded the ship", No.2: "Jess who wants to save his friend" and No.3: "Jess who knows everything". The three Jess are constantly changing in this order, and there are always three Jess on the cruise ship, one is going down and the other is going up. The most important point is that this JESS number 123 is just a form, not a fixed three people. In an instant, No.3 fell into the sea, No.2 became No.3, 1 became No.2, and then a new 1 got on board.
The second thing to understand is that there are actually two lines in this movie, a bright line and a dark line. In fact, the film didn't even shoot a complete two-line story. What we see are all bright lines and some dark lines. The three Jess on board are actually composed of two lines, so it is not a simple 1-2-3- 1 conversion, but A 1-A2-A3 and B 1-B2-B3 simultaneous conversion. Please don't vomit blood first. Let me analyze it first.
Let's define these six JESS first.
A 1: set the line, the one from the main perspective of the film, boarded the ship, and his companions were killed one by one with rifles.
A2: Bright line, the main attraction of the movie, pushes the masked man into the sea on the deck after his companion is killed. When he saw a group of new people, he knew that a masked man would shoot a friend in the theater and tried to save him, but failed.
A3: Bright line, the main perspective of the film, understood everything after failure, put on a hood and took a rifle to kill people in the cinema, and was finally pushed alive into the sea.
B 1: Dark line, knocking the hooded man to death on the deck, Jess finally saw him from the main perspective.
B2: This black line, the last thing seen from the main perspective, pushes Vic onto the nail.
B3: The hidden wire, which failed to shoot in the theater, was killed with a knife and finally knocked to death.
How did this happen? Let's talk about the transformation of Jess at the 2 nd and 3 rd positions of the open line. After Sally died on the top of the boat, Jess saw a billboard on the top of the boat. Jess killed a masked man with an iron bar and pushed him into the sea. B 1 Jess knocked at the door, and B3 died. At this time, a new group of people came, and JESS A 1 came up, which is a group of people who developed our perspective according to the plot in our film. Press the pause button to make sure that A2 on the top of the ship saw all this and understood everything, so when the person dies, he will start all over again. In order to go home to see their son, they will kill everyone, and A2 will become A3. When B 1 on the deck saw a group of new people coming up, B 1 became B2, and then why it went was unknown. The film didn't appear, but we can define it as a bystander. Cancel the pause and continue to go down. A3 came to the theater armed to the teeth and shot Dane and Sally, but failed to pursue A 1 and was pushed into the sea (see A3 in the back). At this moment A 1 saw a group of new people coming on the deck. Jess coming up is B 1. A 1 Knowing that there was a gunman in the cinema, he turned into A2 to save his companion. The bystander B2, who had been kept in the dark, understood everything, turned into B3 to kill people, and came to the theater armed to the teeth. As a result, as in the film, A2 almost shot her head and failed to kill Dane and Sally. B 1 It was in the restaurant that I met Jess with A2 gun. A2 is the rescuer at this time. She didn't understand that she was going to kill someone, so she started all over again, so she didn't kill anyone, just hit the headgear (B3) with a gun, so B 1 naturally scared away. After World War I, B3 failed to kill Dane and Sally, so he tricked them into the room, cut their throats, killed Dane and stabbed Sally, and Sally escaped injured. A2 saw it and ran after it, trying to save Sally. Of course, Sally thought it was B3, so she ran away and finally caught up with the top of the boat. Sally was badly hurt and died. At this time, B3 was chasing others, and met B 1 on the deck and died unfortunately (note that he was killed by an iron bar, not pushed into the sea alive like A3). This process was seen by A2 at the top of the ship, and then the scene where the analysis started happened. That's what happened on the boat, so the cycle.
At this time, let's take a look at A3 who fell into the sea alive. A3 went home, and then, as seen in the main line of the movie, he knocked himself to death with a hammer at home, and took his son to the dock to find Greg, and had an accident on the way. As the end of the movie tells us, he cheated death and went to the dock alone, becoming a new A 1.
That's not all. There is also a major problem, that is, only one A3 will always fall into the sea, but there is another B3 on board that will be killed. B 1 Where did it come from? Without the supply of B 1, the hidden wire will be broken. Therefore, there is a reasonable explanation to improve this story: even B3 who was killed will wake up on the beach after falling into the sea. This explanation is not far-fetched, just as Jess can walk into the dock intact after a car accident. If death tortures you like this, can you still die In addition, according to the time of occurrence, A3 should be converted into B 1 when it wakes up and goes to the dock, and B3 will become A 1. Why do you say that? First of all, if A3 is changed to A 1 and B3 is changed to B 1, the time will be too late. You know, Jess slept on a yacht at sea for a few hours, got caught in a storm, and then the cruise ship finally appeared. How long does it take for a complete cycle and how long does it take for the people on board to kill? Secondly, when A2 was chasing the injured Sally, she heard Greg's voice on the radio, which proved that Greg and A 1 were in the storm, but A 1 was not on the cruise ship, which further proved that a 1 was transferred from B3 to the dock.
Cruise of Terror is a psychological suspense film released in 2009, which was co-produced by Britain and Australia, directed by christopher smith and starring melissa george, liam hemsworth and Rachael Carpani.
