Game Design: It is Very Simple For You To Fill In?

The big movie "To the Moon" was released as scheduled under the eyes of many parties.

Whether it is trust or suspicion, they all walked into the theater immediately.

The beginning of the story is different from the beginning of the game.

The story begins with a man who is invited to a party at a mansion.

A very different start than going to the moon.

Ye Feng also brought all the employees of Germination Studio to watch their first movie.

These are three games produced by the same company in the previous life, "To the Moon", "Shadow Factory", and "Finding Paradise".

Because the first work "To the Moon" is so famous, it is often called the "To the Moon" trilogy.

Because the characters in it have a lot to do with the characters who go to the moon.

The film uses the opening of "Shadow Factory", and the two protagonists in it are the parents of Doctor Neil in "To the Moon".

The suspenseful opening also quickly attracted the audience.

Everyone wanted to know crazily why the male protagonist was invited to this mansion, and why a homicide occurred here.

Countless clouds of suspicion enveloped everyone.

But when the doubts of the story were slowly revealed, the audience saw the simplest love.

From the campus to the wedding, it also slowly set off the love stories that have been buried deep in everyone's memory.

In the movie, the players seem to have found the answer they wanted: love is actually very simple, and I am content to meet you.

Those who were watching the movie couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of their eyes.

Dr. Neal's mother, who is also the heroine at the beginning of the movie, has been ill since she was a child, can't run fast, and faints from time to time.

Since she was a child, she knew that her disease would get worse sooner or later, so she began to think about the meaning of life since she was a child.

Want to be a star in the sky, or a lavender on the ground.

The heroine in the movie sat calmly in the lavender field under the night sky. Faced with her father's question, she resolutely chose to become a star.

This brilliant purple lavender is bright and moving, which is what every girl likes.

She chose to become a star, just because under the bright starlight, more people will see the beauty of lavender.

But in this story,

Because of the female protagonist's illness, the male protagonist needs to make a choice between the unborn child and his lover.

He chose his lover, but the child passed away due to premature birth.

From the movie, it can be known that this child is the Doctor of Memory who went to the moon, Neil.

The movie shows a different ending,

But that's just the result of different memory encodings.

But in the real world, the heroine passed away, and before she died, she chose to save a copy of her memory data and give it to her children as a gift.

With the level of technology at that time, the saved memory data was still difficult to use, and it didn't make much sense. This gift can only be given to the future Neil.

The grown-up Neil activated this memory, but as the story in the memory developed, his mother made many choices, and each choice would generate a new story line.

The new story line may be very short-for example, when the mother died of illness when she was young, the world line will end immediately.

It can also be very long-for example, the mother in the main storyline chooses to have an early operation and lives for decades.

After memory, different choices will lead to different results.

The memory keeps recursing, and the situation gradually tends to perfection.

This is a happy life with endless recursion of memory,

It's not a horror story, it's a fairy tale,

The story is flat, because it is perfect, it seems that there are no teardrops, but there are teardrops everywhere.

To everyone's surprise, there are very few roles in the movie "To the Moon".

The main time is placed in the beginning and the end.

Behind the story is the protagonist who is looking for heaven. This old man has a completely different life from John in "To the Moon".

He had a warm childhood, and as an adult, he had a successful career and a romantic love. In the end, he lived with his wife and lived with his children and grandchildren. He is a "winner in life" in the eyes of many people.

The two doctors who entered the subconscious of the old man's dream also encountered an unprecedented situation. The old man seemed to want to give up nothing and kept resisting the modification of memory, but modifying memory was his own wish in reality.

What's even more weird is that a female friend named Faya appeared in the old man's memory who had accompanied him all his life, but in reality there was no trace of Faya at all.

She seemed to be a 'transparent person' who did not exist in this world, but she seemed so real in the old man's memory.

These contradictions and conflicts run through the entire game, attracting the audience to follow in the footsteps of the two doctors and constantly understand the life of the old man who is divided into two.

The memory modification technology provided the old man with a precious opportunity to complete a self-examination of his heart before he died, and finally reached a reconciliation with himself.

The line he said with relief at the end of the story still impresses me still: 'It is regret that made me who I am now'.

What the elderly need is not to modify their life to make it perfect, but to affirm to themselves without regret after reviewing their life:

This is my irreplaceable life.

The film uses three stories to express a problem,

‘If you were given a chance to choose again, would you choose a life without regrets? '

But at the end of the story, there is another answer for everyone.

A life without regrets is not perfect, but it is exactly what we expect.

Such a life is also very good!

After coming out of the theater, everyone wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, so at the beginning, everyone also subconsciously built a thick layer of psychological defense.

However, as everyone falls into the story, melody and emotional rhythm of the movie step by step, whether to cry or laugh next is actually beyond the control of your own brain and rationality.

At this time, the Internet has been boiling,

[The first match is over, I really wish I could do it again! Because there are no tickets! 】

[Forgive me for not being able to fully convey this emotion to you without spoiling it.

The most I can say is that this is a story about growth, family, love, friendship, companionship, and the pursuit of happiness in life. It doesn't have the usual miserable routines in bitter dramas, but it can still make you happy, lost, excited, and even cry "without warning". 】

[I have to say, the old thief's music is simply magic! The emotional outbursts throughout the movie are very shocking! 】

[Movies don’t make any sense at all, all I see are brand new stories π_π! 】

[As the ending song sings: We always have to learn to choose. But don't forget those dreams, even if you have turned over thousands of pages of this ups and downs. 】
