There are many movies that are based on real events or the general idea of the film is borrowed from them. As for the movie “Premonition” it is not based on a true story, and it is worth noting that it was directed by German director Minan Yabo, and the script of the film was drafted by Bill Kelly, the plot of the film often seemed a little or too confusing to viewers, but it would be good to know that even the actors who played the roles in the film did not immediately understand the complex and intriguing plot of time and days.
According to screenwriter Bill Kelly, the story of the film is another exploration behind the idea of “Murry’s Souvenir”, which is that if fate is inevitable or written, it is impossible to escape from it, and death will be its only outcome, as It is also possible to hold on to the fleeting present, and about ten years before the production of the film, Bill Kelly had the genius idea that he told the story of the week with the days, so that it does not follow a specific order, and he had a picture of a deck of playing cards, and then said: “ What if the days of the week were played by cards, and you threw them in the air, and then played them the way they fell?” Despite this, he had to spin around with that idea at this time, and it took some time to develop her skeleton.
It is worth noting that the idea of a non-linear narration seemed intriguing to the director, so he was well involved in the project, and as the director and screenwriter were like-minded, they chose to keep the film open, urging the audience to come forward and find their meaning for themselves. The director also gave more From paying attention to the feelings and expressions of the actors and letting silence do the talking, the camera often points to Sandra Bullock's surprised face. Her character is constant.
Premonition movie story
In the film, Sandra Bullock plays Linda, a woman who wakes up one day to find that her husband Jim (Julian McMahon) had died the previous day in a car accident, but that turns out to be the "premonition" that bears the title of the film. Premonition, Linda then falls asleep and wakes up the next day to find that her husband is still alive and moving around the house normally and talking to his family.
This is what gives Linda another chance to try to save her husband Jim's life, but it's not that simple, and then things jump up again, but this time the day of Jim's funeral comes, Linda discovers that her husband has been having an affair with another woman who works with him At work, the movie then continues to jump back and forth on different days of the week that Jim died, giving Linda a chance to not only save her husband's life, but her relationship with him.
Before reaching the end of the film, it would be good if the admittedly confusing timeline of Premonition was clarified, as Linda herself should plot out the week so that she could get a sense of what is happening and on what day, and next the main events of the film in order timeline:
Monday: Jim is still alive.
Tuesday: Linda and Jim's daughter, Bridget (Courtney Taylor Burns), passes through a window of broken glass, severely hurting her in the face, which requires the girl to be taken to the hospital.
Wednesday: The day after Jim dies.
Thursday: On this day Linda finds out that Jim had died the day before in a car accident.
Saturday: The day Jim is buried and the funeral is held, the day Linda finds out that Jim is having an affair with Claire (Amber Valletta), and the day Dr. Ruth (Peter Stormar) forces her into a mental institution Because she has some allegations behind the premonitions of Jim's death.
It is worth noting that Wednesday is the pivotal day in the film's timeline, when Jim dies, and all things before and after this are affected by the panic that Linda begins to feel about her husband's death, and as the movie travels back to the days before Jim's death, her knowledge that Jim is cheating on her Then dying gives her a chance to change both outcomes, and after Linda considers whether Jim and their marriage are worth saving or not, she builds on her faith and decides to try to save her marriage and her husband's life.
And so Linda begins to tell her husband how much she loves him and their small family, and that she wants their marriage to continue to succeed, and for this reason Jim has a new thought about completing his relationship with Claire, and finally decides to stop her, and in this way Linda succeeds in preventing her husband's betrayal and saving her marriage with Jim, With all this, Linda is still unable to prevent Jim's death, and on Wednesday, Linda follows Jim to the scene and warns him of the accident, but only makes him stop his car, then a tanker truck hits him and explodes.
One of the most important questions about the film is whether Linda actually lived the days of that week in this strange order, or was imagining them in some way, but more importantly, her ability to live outside the usual order, and influence what happens throughout the week, Linda is more likely to imagine She does not actually travel through time and experience it, but all this does not prevent her from trying to influence events.
Explanation of the end of the movie Premonition
At the end of the movie, Linda manages to save her marriage, but not her husband. If these concerns did not come to Linda's mind, she would not know that she needs to save her relationship with her husband, and despite this, her intervention in the course of events and trying to save her husband will be her The main cause of Jim's death, but in the end, that's the message the movie seeks to convey to viewers: that some things in our lives, like death, are inescapable, yet the choices we make, like how we manage our relationships, are often subordinated. To a great extent to our control, and even if we can't save the ones we love, but our love for them is still worth fighting for.
