So, who is this man?

< h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > plot analysis</h1>
At the beginning of the plot, it is a gathering of 8 people, including the heroine, and the first 15 minutes of the content is basically a group of friends gossiping, including the story of the "Finnish woman" mentioned earlier.
The film's plot conflict begins in 15 minutes, when the room suddenly loses power, it is dark outside, and the only light is the comet in the sky, and another house with lights on the block. One of the six men ( hereinafter referred to as A ) remembered that the physicist's brother had told him to call him if something strange happened if a comet crossed, but all of them had phones that were either broken or unintended, so A set off to borrow a cell phone from the house with the light.
When A returned, he told the crowd that he was in the house opposite and saw the same 8 of them, gathering in the same scene.
Frightened, A decided to go out again to borrow the phone, and he wrote a note. If you find that there is no one in another house, you plan to post it outside the door as a reminder. Just then, there was movement outside the house, and they opened the door and were surprised to find a note on the door, exactly like the one in A's hand.
Since then, a series of strange things have happened. A took a physics book from the car and explained "Schrödinger's Cat" to everyone.
Schrödinger's Cat: A closed box contains a live cat and a bottle of poison. When decay occurs, the pill bottle is broken and the cat is poisoned. According to common sense, cats may or may still be alive. Quantum mechanics tells us that there is an intermediate state in which the cat is neither dead nor alive until the box is opened and the observer collapses into a result.
At first, they thought that they and the people in the opposite house were two parallel worlds, and only one could live and one die, so someone decided to kill themselves on the other side. But on the other hand, do they have such an idea? Thus the conflict began and escalated.
Later, they found that every choice they made could open up a parallel world. As they continue to make choices, countless parallel spaces and countless selves have been derived.
And the night the comet came, they all had the possibility of meeting...
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > parallel worlds in the film</h1>
In order to better understand the film, we must first understand its sci-fi setting: the cat in Schrödinger's box, neither dead nor alive, produces two parallel spaces, and when the box is opened, the two parallel spaces collapse into a single result. And the film is about what happens if it doesn't collapse.
The different choices of the characters in the film in the face of various events will derive an equal amount of parallel space, and multiple spaces will not collapse. There are few parallel spaces at the beginning of the film, and the plot is relatively simple, but with the passage of time, more parallel spaces have appeared, and the relationship between the characters has become more and more complicated. Even every time the camera turns from black to light, it is a time and space switch, and the content of the entire movie is the result of being pieced together by countless spaces.
If you don't look closely, it's even hard to find out which parallel world the characters in the picture are from.
Many of the details in the film are very intriguing, and if you want to experience more of this movie, it is recommended to watch the whole film, and there will be no spoilers at the end.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > shock and fear of unknown dimensions</h1>
"The Night the Comet Came" is a science fiction film and a thriller, although there are no horror elements such as ghosts, homicidal maniacs, and perverts in the film, it is extremely frightening.
The reason why people are afraid is because of their attachment to themselves, or to the material world. Fear often comes from things or circumstances that the ego cannot overcome, control, or know. The reason why conventional horror movies are frightening is usually based on the "sense of unknown" brought by "ghosts", or the "sense of threat" of "murderers" to life. The film's sense of dread is even more advanced because it makes people doubt their own existence.
This sense of horror goes deep into the marrow, and whenever we think of this movie, we begin to wonder, is everything around me still my original world? Will my lover have changed to a different person, and will my child no longer be the original child?
When the sense of horror fades, we can't help but think, if there really is a parallel world, what would it be like?
1. If there really is a parallel world, will the other space self become more excellent because of a certain choice, or will it be sloppy? Will it step into the light, or will it fall into darkness?
The night the comet came, will this "me" today be replaced by the dark self? Or will "I" choose to replace my better self?
2, according to the setting of the movie, if your friend is obviously talking about you, but you yourself are completely unimpressed, it means that you have come to another space, or your friend does not belong to this space.
Go down this line of thinking: Can family, love, and friendship in another parallel world be trusted?
If you can travel to another parallel world at any time, are you still the same person you were just now?
Or are you in another world, a being similar to your doppelganger, or a completely alien individual?
As you ponder these questions, maybe another one is thinking the same thing!
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > rise from sci-fi thriller to human nature</h1>
"The Night the Comet Came" is not entirely based on scientific concepts, such as the setting that a comet will cause multiple parallel spaces in an area, but this does not affect the charm of the film in the slightest. Sci-fi settings such as "Schrödinger's Cat" and "Coherence" are just auxiliary tools to tell the story of the mentality and choices of different people in different situations under a change in time and space.
The film was "unscripted" during the filming process, the director just gave the actor a character setting, there was no specific line, the actor did not know what would happen next, everything depended on the actor's impromptu performance. In the process of plot development, because of the terrifying unknown environment, the characters constantly erupt into human weaknesses, such as suspicion, irritability, inferiority, ferocity, etc., which are the real emotional expressions of the actors in the current scene.
There may not be parallel worlds in reality, but people are often faced with choices, each of which leads to different outcomes and affects the trajectory of our lives. What is the ideal choice? Will we choose a result that deviates from our original intentions?
We can see that the film does not give an answer to the discussion of human nature. The director does not want to affect the audience's thinking because of his subjective opinions, he just presents this proposition to us in a clever form.
How to choose and judge is left to the audience to think.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > creative inspiration</h1>
"The Night the Comet Came" and "This Man From Earth" are low-budget sci-fi films. Because the scene is severely limited, the plot content is basically the dialogue of the characters in the narrow interior scene. Most of the stories revolve around a science fiction suspense, and as the plot deepens, it dispels the audience's doubts while also exploring human nature itself.
Even due to the lack of funds, grand scenes and cool special effects, directors and screenwriters can use their ingenious ideas, rich imagination and deep meaning to make unexpected film effects that make audiences happy.
In recent years, with the maturity of the film market, the audience's viewing options have become more diversified, and high-cost big movies do not necessarily have box office guarantees, and low-cost small movies do not necessarily have a dismal box office. This provides more possibilities for underfunded filmmakers – as long as they create with their hearts, they can also reap great box office returns. High-quality films have box office, and will reverse stimulate the investment choices of investors, this virtuous circle of the film market will inevitably promote the in-depth development of the film industry.
It is expected that similar films can receive more capital injection in the future, so that directors and actors have more room to play, and present more perfect and high-quality film and television masterpieces to the audience.
