Therefore, the theme of "parallel world" can allow film and television people to diverge their thinking and imagine wildly. You and me in different spaces are linked back and forth. If you are good at it, it is a hilarious comedy. If you are not good, it is a suspense drama. If you are not good, it is a horror movie. A sentence came out, "if the scene is not enough, parallel universe make up" will be successful!
So, in recent years, "parallel world" movies have emerged in an endless stream, and Marvel has "Spider-Man - Parallel Universe" and "Doctor Strange 2". And " Parallel Forest " is a small-cost boutique in the domestic "parallel world" theme movie.
"Parallel Forest" also meets the three benefits mentioned above. There are a total of four actors in the entire movie. In fact, the fourth actor is revealed, and removing him does not affect the plot. Three actors in the entire movie are enough; the entire movie consists of two major scenes— There are only two or three sets of character costumes in the castle hotel and the forest. Therefore, the entire production cost of "Parallel Forest" is very low, all down, only about one million. It is estimated that if the castle hotel is replaced by a civilian hut, the cost will be greatly reduced; is it indifferent to the logic of its story? Yes! Still gives an open-ended imagination. The story of
's "Parallel Forest" is very simple:
husband, wife, children (not in the movie) a family of three, in a car accident, the child died, the cause of the car accident was that the wife had an accident with the car, and the wife fell into deep self-blame And in the pain of losing a child, it is difficult to extricate oneself. As a result, the couple rented a castle hotel in the outskirts to do the tourism business, and at the same time they were responsible for the forest protection work of the nearby virgin forest. Unfortunately, the business was unsuccessful. Seeing that no guests came to stay and spend, the couple borrowed a lot of debt for the business. The wife's brother, the husband's eldest brother, recently came to the Castle Hotel to "help". In fact, he also advised the husband and wife to exchange the hotel and do something else. We have to look forward, after all, the child died more than a year ago. However, the wife cannot accept that others propose children in front of her. Angrily, she picked up the gun and went to the forest.
has a mysterious place in the virgin forest on the other side of the lake in front of the hotel. It is said that it was rented by foreigners before. As a result, the government found out that the foreigners were conducting illegal experiments there, so they took it back. It rained and thundered the night before, and a huge thunder struck just right there. The wife is curious. On the way to protect the forest, the wife was attacked by someone with a shotgun. The wife fired back, hitting the man in the leg, and the man ran into the forest hit by lightning. She picked up the glasses and found that the person was actually herself!
's wife was shocked and suspicious, so she stepped into the forest the next day. As a result, she found that no matter how she went, she always returned to the starting point. In the end, she left the forest in a panic and returned to the house, only to find that her husband was wrong. There was also a car accident in this house, but it was the husband who caused the death of the child.
When the wife stepped into the forest again, she unexpectedly met another husband, and this husband was different from his own husband in that his husband was an undergraduate student, and this husband was a Ph.D. The doctor told her that this was a parallel forest. They came from homes in different parallel worlds. In their own world, it was his wife who died in a car accident. And this kind of parallel world is like a ripple. With the continuous expansion of the circular wave, the distance from the center will be farther and farther. After the husband and wife of different parallel worlds pass through the families of other worlds, this world will inevitably occur in order to balance the total amount. confusion. Therefore, they need to find their own world and return to their own home!
So, the two began to cooperate to find. But as a result, the two finally found a home that was not their own and did not want to go back. The Doctor killed the "self" in this world because the "wife" in this world was still alive. And the wife killed the "self" in another world, because the "child" in this world is still alive... The story logic of
's "Parallel Forest" is actually not brain-burning. It is not regarded as a parallel world, but a mental problem caused by the wife's loss of her child (the wife has been seeing a psychiatrist in the play), and these experiences of her are actually her dreams. In the play, the wife slept for more than ten hours. The parallel world can also be the brain gyrus of the wife, and different parallel worlds will appear in different brain gyrus. So, this movie can either see it as sci-fi, or it can be seen as realitytrue. The "selfishness" of people is very cruel here. Of course, some people interpret it as "the greatness of a mother's love", which I disagree with.
In short, "Parallel Forest" made a wonderful story at a small cost. Although the film is more than 100 minutes long and the plot development is "speaking", there is no sense of procrastination. This is the success of the story!
