I’m going to have to watch it again. We can assume all the dinner party variant universes are “closer” and thus the ones the comet allows transfer between OR there are an unshown uncountable number of Em’s who fall into an uncountably many weird universes, but the movie continues on only with the Em’s who do land back in dinner party universes. But he was so clear, and precise about the timing of the fadeouts. But I digress. Who knows if the people we originally see in the movie are the original people outside of the movie’s frame. No powercut in the night means, this group never left the house. But if they have no knowledge of the previous night’s events, how does he even compute that? Emily Prime will not be able to live happily in that reality because the other Emily is going to fight to take her identity back. Emily (from this reality) has crawled back into the house, somehow, from the trunk. When Mike makes the (now realised) joke about ‘understudy for life’ he looks across as if to address an Em that is outside. while Em-X was still alive in the trunk of the car. We can’t actually feel happiness other than as temporary absence of unhappiness. You know I’ve litle confused with ‘sweter thing’ and you come with explanation that totally I agree–there were two intruder in almost same time. (Sorry, haven’t watched it in a while, can’t remember anyone’s name). Let’s say the Kevin at the car who answers the phone is Perfect House Kevin. I do not believe this to be EmP. This causes their house and the occupants to intertwine with multiple such houses and occupants from other realities. et defectus James Byrkit’s movie Coherence is definitely one of those movies. “*Hugh4 and Amir3 steal the book and the photos and leave” (it was Hugh3) Additional prove is the second ring still existing – if the ring exists, so does Emily Prime.. If they didn’t have cell service till the comet passed she still could’ve gone to another home. God”. pluck the vibrating strings; BUT… that’s it?! The explosion caused trees to get flattened over 2000 sq km but there were no human casualties. b) alternate realities can have striking differences from prior to this nights events. When she arrives at the house and the rest of the guests start to fall in, We get a fade, and I think this is like M Night Shyamalan putting red everywhere in “The Sixth Sense”. For example, when Hugh and Amir leave initially, a Hugh and Amir return (albeit from a different timeline). So now I wonder, who or how got Hugh hurt? To investigate how this works I’ve sketched a diagram of the flow as I see it. I’m glad I’ve found it. This is not a bad thing I’d argue, it’s just how it is. -I act. In any case, this Mike is not the Mike Coherence starts with, he’s a different one. it’s the morning, she is awake, and Hugh is talking to a second Emily on the phone. What if at the end of the movie, the call that Kevin got in front of Emy1 was from the Em(Em1 again, then?) and nobody seemed to acknowledge that? everyone weep with me! Mike, you and I are visiting here, this isn’t our house. This is the seminal moment of the movie per Byrkit. It ended with an indictment of Em… which was a right hook. Kevin stops. 2) WE DO NOT KNOW THE BOUNDARY OF THE ANOMALY So while there is a Mike who starred on Roswell in this universe (since it is Mike’s house and he presumedly hasn’t left the house for awhile), there is a Mike that did NOT star in Roswell in a parallel universe. Let me toss out something brought up before but which I may have missed the consensus of an explanation for – what if anything did the lights flickering in the bathroom mean when Em? What I don’t understand though is how people sort of serendipitously enter houses that are lacking the precise people in that entering group. So the rest of them decide to step out to watch the comet. Maybe the idea that we’re following a single Em is a myth, and the only actual constant is the descent into disorder. Rearrange Your Brain – Coherence. When she finds the KevinX and EmX that are giggling happily on the couch together she knows she’s found the one that said yes. Friends dating exes. For one, there is the fact that these characters are dealing with the unknown that is uncomfortable. It would keep collisions like that happening if it was perfectly time… but it isn’t as clean as that. Maybe in this very moment she suddenly does not talk to the same Kev any more but to another one. I thought this two, as soon as we realise that the guests have swapped houses without realising I thought that maybe Laurie and Amir switched over from a different reality to the others before they arrived at the house. They watch the comet but get back in. What career did a person have/not have. Wait, what? I thought Kevin was going to Vietnam?? It was discussed above and it is clear to me that when in the house, we have already a bunch of people mixed up from different realities. As James Ward Byrkit said, the fade to black scenes have a meaning to the movie plot, and i believe i figured it out. I think we were separated at birth – totally digging on this paragraph of yours…. That’s the knife’s edge of this movie. On the night of an astronomical anomaly, eight friends at a dinner party experience a troubling chain of reality bending events. It is safe to assume that all remaining Ems are all knocked out at this exact moment. What still bothers me is why Em passes out after coming out of the bathroom. Every Em doesnt have a broken phone, because not every Kevin tried to start that conversation with her while she was driving, or they weren’t even on the phone at that moment. at least. Yes, I give you this, and even thought of it. It isn’t the way that the film is subtle sci-fi or completely terrifying in its plausible unbelievability; it’s the way it takes those things and wraps them in an entirely human drama. I realized something that stuck out to me that I didn’t find in your explanation. NEver mind. However, if a Hugh understands priority order to be (a) then (b), then you will be left in the state of HouseX at the end since no one will ever even know something was amiss. So assuming they have no real idea ( no book, no experiences, no class syllabus ) as to the whole multi- existence situation – when PerfectEm encounters OriginalEm its her first time having this happen and her mind must be absolutely blown. Coherence is a movie you’ll want to see multiple times. You will eat it for lunch. But if EmX were to indeed exist (somewhere…) why would she just NOT ‘show-herself’ when Em1 passed out…. Does it mean, that the incoherence and therefore interaction between realities has created a lasting effect, symboled by the ring. So, in the end, the next day, it has to be all back to normal, and it is. Only glitch though is… I think… wait for it…. Beth3 ping pong paddle (red house) A big thank you to all my readers and well-wishers! What is he hearing? Coherence is an American surreal science fiction psychological thriller film directed by James Ward Byrkit in his directorial debut. From my take on the movie, if Em1 walked into Em2‘s house – usually Em2 would have left. Check it for yourself: http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/movie_script.php?movie=coherence. Here’s what happened. I think the biggest indicator is that the objects by the door change. Also, Im not sure we are watching the same Em the whole time. Yes, but this overrides that, and it’s only two blocks away. However, I see an explicit moment where fear strikes Mike unconsciously. Menu. Another seperate theory: drugged up trunk-escapee Em is the actual victor of the bathroom battle. Who knows what about each other. Or maybe you could give it another go Aliz? The film ends. Thoughts? We do not however know what can happen when this comet explodes at the end of the movie. When Amir and Hugh walk out the door and then walk back in something just happened, but it isn’t even called out. About Movie. No one has signal on their mobile phones and there is no internet at home. . I tried to discuss it more with my husband and he said ” Em” might REALLY be short for E=MC2. Thanks” .. Hugh’s note. Everyone reaches Mike’s and Lee’s place. Who the hell is opening the door for them? I’ve watched this on 3 different screens and she always looks like this. Emily Prime goes to check her car and gets her ring (that Kevin had given her a while back) and wears it. The final phone call, as discussed, is just to prove that all deeds get back to you and there’s no way to escape your actions and who you are. Anomaly is gone. Emily Prime and Kevin talk. In other words, if the quantum theory was presented in a way that did not include the element of life or death, then subconsciously Mike would not fear for his life. Em1 tells Kevin1 that “she just needs more time” to think about the trip and are you ready for this? I totally didn’t pick up on the length of the fades, great catch! I think the movie is based on the quantum decoherence theory, the third option in the book notes from Hugh’s brother Brian, which means that every decision, or “measurement” in the quantum mechanical sense splits off an alternate reality. They cannot trust their own selves in the other houses, and this is, I believe, what an important point: accepting that this had just started that night, otherwise they were who they were, the darkness was with them all along, internal to them not external. hahaha.”. I’m not gonna wait for them to collapse on us.” His reptilian instincts have kicked in and he is now trying to outfox and kill his enemy to survive. The next major event is the dinner table. Remember, it’s the powercut that makes them head out and start crossing into the dark zone. It can be Perfect Em calling Kevin 1, 2, 3 or 4. FOCUSING ON WHICH VERSION ISN’T THE POINT Em1 is safe. and in that reality, Em’s phone isn’t broken or got replaced with a new one?). Oh and also, I think I forgot to add a link to my interview with the writer and director of this movie… he proved to be exceptionally insightful! Did it occur when the two Mikes were together ? Which means Mike3 has to have been Mike1 and randomly arrived back with Em1. Where small variations between realities invariably multiply, creating increasingly chaotic situations (doppelgangers tied up in chairs, people openly cheating on their loved ones). Second is Hugh’s choice as to which is more important – staying inside the house or contacting the brother. Only in the impossible possibility/scenario (no one getting involved/ no one leaving/ the perfect house), everything seems to be in place, which is to suggest that when action is triggered, it cannot be predicted or undone, thus hinting at its impossibility (an action will be taken, even if it’s to be triggered by an external, non-belonging Em1). Why flee? Wait, what? She walks out to Kevin in the street. Also of possible note: earlier in the film, at about the 51:00 minute mark, (just after a Mike returns to what we later learn is the “oven mitt” house from dropping off the blackmail letter and starts drinking, and just after Hugh and Amir fled the “oven mitt” house with the book and “photos box”), Beth and Lee are shown talking in the kitchen as Lee washes dishes (including the green glass like the one that was shown broken in “ping pong paddle house” earlier), and there is a close up of Beth using a hypodermic needle to draw liquid from a bottle labeled “Ketavan” (and seems to then use that to dispense the liquid into her own wine glass).
