triangle----------Mandy 2

When it is my turn to post e-journal online, it means that our bridging course is going toward an end. We have done many things together for the past one and a half year, which have turned us from strangers to family members of this fantastic group. There are a lot of things beyond language could express and I still want to say, but there is a movie makes me feel more eager to share. It is called triangle.
The movie describes a story under an infinite loop. The leading character Jess once went sailing with another five friends and met a rain storm which turned their boat over. Fortunately, a huge cruise ship passed by and picked them up. However they found nobody in the huge old ship and they have no idea where this huge ship is heading. While six of them separated to search help, five of them were killed by a hooded man except Jess. When it came to Jess, she fight against him very hard and pushed him into the sea. I thought it was the end of the story, but the real horror just about to arrive. While she standing on the board, she saw a group of people yelling for help on a wreckage of a tiny little boat. They were exactly the same group who had just been killed by the hooded man. That is the same people who companied her went sailing and ran into the rain storm, including another Jess! After several rounds, she finally realized that she was trapped in an infinite loop and the only hope to get out of it is that piece of wreckage where she came from. And when all the six people died, another round began which means another six would step on to the ship and experience exactly what the previous six has gone through. So she could do nothing but hooding herself and killing all of them in order to get onto the wreckage. But the result was the same as the previous Jess—she was pushed in to the sea by the next Jess. I once again thought it was the end; however, she did not die and was washed ashore on the beach where her house located. She went back home and found another Jess and her son was doing what exactly she had done in the past. Maybe because the desire of returning to normal life was too strong, she killed that Jess and took over her son. She got into a traffic accident when she drove her son to the harbor to stop her friends sailing. She was supposed to die but it seems not. A man offered her a lift to harbor and she went sailing with friends again, which finally finish this big loop.
I suffered a lot in the following three days for thinking about this movie, and I finally got what is recycling in this infinite loop. The key is Jess was dead right in front of the movie! The man who offered her a lift was not a driver at all! He was the god of death who was going to take her to the other world! She betrayed her promise to him and received the punishment just like Aeolus’s son, Sisyphus, who has to endlessly pushing a stone to the mountain top and watches it rolling down, in order to pay for his guilt for cheating the Death. That was not the end of my thought.

What if life is just one big infinite loop? All the things that we are trying so hard are just like following a script of a movie and we keep repeating all these unconsciously?

Any science fiction that involves time as a scalar such as the time traveler’s wife and trisome will make people sink into ponders.

So, anyway, never cheat the god of death!
