Resident Evil 2

[ChuckyKlrDoll]

I just figured this out, not sure as to how many of you had already figured it out. But anyways, when Alices eyes open at the beginning, then the camera goes into her eyes and then she starts explaining the events which lead up to the t virus infection escaping into the city,notice that theres like a weird 5 sided camera thats showing all of this stuff happening. Also notice the scene where Alice drives off with Jill,Carlos and the rest from that new umbrella facility at the end before they reach the gate is shown at the beginning through the 5 sided camera. Then before they go to the title of the film, they show Alices eyes with like a far away look. So what I'm saying is, the scene before they put the title of the film up is of Alice after that doctor utters the words *Program Alice activated*. and The voiceover at the beginning where Alice says *My name is Alice etc etc*...is Alice taping her confession in the van after Jill hands her the camera and says *tape the story*. They cut that part short though because we've already heard everything shes gonna say at the beginning. So all in all, the opening scene where they show flashbacks from the first film, takes place inside Alices now reprogrammed mind. Then they pan out to Alices eyes at the part where she says *we thought we'd survived the horror...we were wrong*, which is after her new programming has kicked in and the umbrella logo flashes in her eyes. Thus the beginning of the film is actually the end.

That's a cool lil' tidbit, dunno if it deserves it's own thread.

Certainly doesn't deserve a "WTF" though.

Basically when we see the flashbacks at the very start of the film in a computer rotating square like form, thats Alices mind having been reprogrammed by umbrella. Thats why it looks like that inside her head as opposed to what it looked like when she had flashbacks in part 1. Thats also why during the flashback scene you can see a shot of the van carrying carlos, jill, and angie and l.j. leaving the umbrella facility. Then after the flashbacks they show Alices eyes, right before the title of the film comes up on the screen. So those flashbacks Alice is having before the film begins, shes having them post umbrella reprogramming. The same facial expression shot at the end when the doctor says *program alice activated*. is the exact same facial shot of her we get before the title comes up at the start of the movie. As for Alices voiceover at the start of the movie, thats taken from her telling her story to terris camera after Jill hands it to her when all of them are in the van driving to city hall.

Not being funny here...but anyone who types and spells like you do is in NO position to tell someone else to 'type in English' or to state it was confusing! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


Chucky: Actually that's a good observation...I may pick this film up as I liked it. If I do I shall look out for your theory.

[crazy raplh]

I don't know bu tthe monster in that movie was bad ass.

[crippler666]

Agree with you to a point... Yes the beginning is near the end but, I beleave that the whole plot was one big experiment,
t-virus internal infection vs external infection which would explain why the nemesis was a bit of a pussy at the end, as infection is easier (to the outside world) by a carrier than someone who shows external simptoms.

[42ndStreetFreak]

Actually i think that's probably more likely...
Don't forget she was already infected with the T Virus, which means the initial 'Umbrella eye' was probably in reference to that fact...more symbolic than anything else?
