The plot describes the prodigal son Niles and the bridesmaid Sarah, who are involved in the cycle of time and space due to an accident, and wake up on November 9th every day. Sarah couldn't accept it for a while, but gradually appreciated Niles's attitude towards life in the present, and decided to go on a carnival every day. One day, Sarah wanted to cut through the absurd past and get rid of the seemingly meaningless cycle, but Niles found that Sarah could not be without

The film is a fusion of science fiction and romantic comedy. The actor Andy Samberg is also a producer. He and Christine Miliotti perform in the Lu Snake duo. He is always looked down upon by those around him, trapped in alcoholism and chaotic feelings. , But because of the mysterious experience of the cave, he was involved in a weird time-space cycle, and he had a common life experience and empathy for comfort.

The plot uses Sarah’s sister’s wedding as the days spent by the hero and the protagonist. It slaps the face of the beauty of marriage, reveals the fragility of feelings and tales of lies, but contemplates the meaning of life in crazy enjoyment, and brings out the relationship between people and people. I was born with loneliness and longed for the company of another person from the bottom of my heart.

Watching Sarah and Niles show retro dancing, the tacit understanding is self-evident. What is even more surprising is the birthday party that Sarah planned for Niles, which shows how precious their revolutionary emotions and memories are synchronized. Although the film is based on science fiction, the first part is full of jokes, and the latter part is thought-provoking, and then finds the reason and meaning of existence for the time-space cycle.

The most beautiful company, hope to be with you

Memory and pain are the settings emphasized by the film. No matter how Sarah and Niles spend this day, as long as they fall asleep, they will return to the same day when they wake up, even if they commit suicide. Although suicide can quickly end the day, if you rush to hit the car, you may end up waiting for death in the intensive care unit, and you will still remember the pain when you wake up. In the same way, if you do something sorry for others, you will still feel guilty and disappointed when you wake up.

The film arranges Roy, who is trapped in the cycle of time and space with Niles, and is called the most eye-catching uncle in the film. Roy chased Niles from the opening scene, exposing his resentment towards the male protagonist, disgusting that he couldn't see his children grow up, and always stuck on the same day, but in a long conversation with Niles, the warmth of life accompanied . Man cannot change the past or the cycle of time and space, but he still has freedom in limited options and time.

If you are alone, you will be empty and lonely even if you live in a carnival. Having a companion, whether it is a lover, a friend or a family member, at least one person allows you to experience the true feelings and belonging, the wandering soul is dependent on, and life is no longer desperate. Cycle, as if there is a shining star of hope shining through.

Smart and dazzling heroine

Christine Miliotti played Sarah, who was a drunkard, buried deep in the secret of emotional chaos, but was inspired by Niles. In the eyes of others, Sarah is just a foolish drunkard. There is no selfless and kind sister to please, but she and Niles have not known each other soon, but she shows tacit understanding and care, and brings out a person who is not favored. Her caring side. Sarah returned to herself after enjoying herself, using the cycle of time and space to actively learn physics, trying her best to escape the cycle of absurdity, showing her cleverness and studious, and people exclaimed that the cycle of time and space can make the alcoholic become a master in an instant.

At the end of the movie, Niles' confession to Sarah is not a perfect love story, but it reveals irreplaceable sincerity in the funny, and it is full of fearlessness to fall into love. The story is simple and clear, full of jokes, sincere and moving emotions, science fiction discourse is not too serious and difficult to understand. The main axis is comedy and love, making the time and space cycle like a warm stage where the hero and heroine drift to a deserted island, accompany and listen to each other.
