Source Code analysis

Source code is a film that is supposed to confuse you by using a lot of different terminology. This is used it a light term here this is because it is like the main character is a person within a person within a person. That is in a universe within a universe.

The main thing it is trying to suggest by my own opinion is that anyone is anyone. As we know the main characters name is Shaun for most of the time. He is getting sent back pointless amount of times to try and figure out how to get rid of the bomb.

He dose not want to but he carries on doing it. He quickly starts to dis agree with what is happening to him and why he is doing this.

One of the biggest plot twist that was in the film was when he finds out that he is actually dead. He was in a helicopter crash and  is missing the bottom half of his body. He discovers this and does not want to be part of this experiment anymore.

This is when we get fully introduced to the leader of this operation. The boss would not let him go this is because he is one of the only people in the world who's injuries and brain stimulation to let the machine fully work.

At this point our hero called Shaun believes he can save everyone on the train. This is because he has notice he is not going back in time but rather, going to alternate universe where the events have not yet occurred. So because of this reason he wants to save everyone on the train instead of failing and letting them die even thought he job was completed and the terrorist was caught. Noe because the job was completed there is no need to send him back into the machine. So the women who talks to him throughout the whole film called Goodwin goes against the order to wipe his memory and prepare for the next job.

She ends up sending back in the save everyone on the train. Shaun successfully does this and we still think the universe is going to end, but because he has saved it the universe carries on living with Shaun in the universe. So because he has managed to do this he is in that universe living on his life as a normal person.

Techniques that are used:

One technique is a red herring. This is because we think once he saves the train that universe is over and will not continue. However because it is a real world/ train he has saved it continues like it normally would. So this tricked us by making us think the train was still going to blow up however it does not.

Also a plot twist is used in this film. This was when we think that Goodwin will not send him back to another universe however she does.

Again another plot twist is used this was when we was told there is no possible way to send a text from another universe to someone in an alternate universe. Shaun proves this theory wrong by doing it and the text basically said. He has save all of the people on the train in every universe. So when Goodwin goes to the radio/TV it talks about a failed terrorist train bombing attack.

So the source code actually works a lot better than what the creators once thought.
