Even the most forgiving audience who heard the story setting of Palm Springs before watching the movie may have to secretly sweat for those old stalks that are no longer novel. There are too many deja vu in Palm Springs. First of all, its story happened at a wedding. So, those alcohol and slow dances, the vows and speeches destined to be disturbed, the family difficulties and campy errors are neither late nor absent in the movie.
Palm Springs is a romantic comedy featuring two losers. In the current era of funeral culture, the more and more realistic people have long abandoned the possibility of the existence of a perfect prince or a real goddess, but this kind of "bad guys save each other" story seems to inevitably gradually become another kind of "vulgar".
The most core setting in the Palm Springs movie is a repeating day-time cycle. This innovative recipe for a genre film that has been successfully tested too many times in Groundhog Day, Edge of Tomorrow, the horror movie Happy Death Day and the Russian Doll.
However, when these tired routines, add a little cold beer and quantum mechanics, mix in the subtle and perceptible sparks of the two protagonists and talk fragments with philosophical thoughts, and finally dye a layer of depression and dark reality. The blended and mixed Palm Spring has become an existential romantic comedy with a good proportion of old stems and new ideas, cute and fresh, with a bit of sober bitterness.
The plot of Palm Springs
On the day of a desert wedding, Sarah, who were considered "only drunk and messed up" by the family, and the bridesmaid boyfriend Nyles accidentally fell into a time loop. However, Nyles has stayed longer than Sarah on this day. Nyles has long slept with everyone at the wedding, regardless of whether men or women, and has tried any method that can escape the loop. After a few symbolic struggles, Sarah accepted the rules in the time loop. Palm Springs put Nyles and Sarah into a time island with only one another.
Nyles who have experienced more than 10,000 cycles than Sarah seems that he had found the essence of life. Palm Springs, Irvine, marriage, one-night stand and the world, full of repeated time loops. There are more meaningless and meaningless, there are more lies and mistakes that people want to avoid. Therefore, he reminded Sarah again and again in the cycle that the pain is real.
Audiences who have stayed at home for several months will definitely be able to see themselves in Nyles and Sarah in the time loop, wake up in the same space every day, face the same unknown day after day, be passionate in some days and more and more uneasy, not knowing when the future will come, or even not knowing whether the future outside the time loop is still worth looking forward to.
Palm Springs is actually a darker and more adult Groundhog Day. It is not that after the self-growth for the good, we will definitely be saved and welcome the spring. Love can never be a rescue, nor the ultimate answer to all questions. What we can do in the circle of nothingness and loneliness, only try to be brave to start from facing a mistake or finding a meaning, and escape from a small circle, then fall into a bigger circle. As long as life becomes less mundane, it is already a great victory, because the desert never ends, and we in the desert must have some fun.
