Summary
After having a little argument about an American woman Sam ruining a British businessman Ian’s important presentation at work, Samantha dies in a car accident. However, Ian gets a chance to relieve the day all over again, in the hope of changing the events that led up to her getting killed.
l Enigma code: When Ian gets a chance to relieve the day all over again, he tries almost everything to save her. To avoid Sam’s death, Ian try to change every little events that happened that day, like Sam getting a burn on a kettle, Ian’s watch breaking, and Sam getting a Coca-Cola split. Ian finally solves the problem, Sam’s death, by sacrificing his own life.
l Action code: The reason why Ian acts this way is because of love. When Ian gets a chance to relieve the day, his power of love lets him even sacrifice his life to save Sam’s life. He loved her like there was no tomorrow, and realized that there is no use crying over split milk.
l Character code: Ian gets really mad when Sam ruins his presentation at work by breaking into the office and interrupting to give Ian some files, which he already had. This tells us that Ian is a really hard-working businessman. He thinks work is more important than love. If he thinks love is more important than work, he would not have got mad when she ruined his presentation. He would’ve just forgiven her.
l Symbolic code: Small events happening again the next day foreshadow that the death will come again. Before riding a taxi, Ian realized that they were in the same spot as the previous night. This also foreshadows and symbolize that the death is near.
l Cultural code: Love between a British businessman Ian and an American woman Sam makes this movie more tragic. British man Ian puts work ahead of love, whereas an American woman Sam puts love ahead of work. I think this cultural difference led to a tragedy.
Good! This covers most of the basics. Well done. Make sure to be as specific as you can.
