00:00Triangle is a remarkably fresh mystery horror film directed by Christopher Smith.
00:06The film depicts an eternal time loop, immersed in the eerie atmosphere of mysticism, a person
00:13abandoned by time, a mother seeking redemption.
00:17Triangle delivers a true mind-bending cinematic experience, offering various interpretations
00:23and prompting viewers to revisit it multiple times to fully grasp its hidden meanings.
00:28If you want to fully enjoy the experience, please come back later, as this video will reveal
00:34all the mysteries of the film.
00:37Today we will analyze and explore the subtle details that the director has intentionally
00:41embedded throughout the story.
00:44Jess is a single mother living in a peaceful Australian town, portrayed by Melissa George.
00:50One morning as she hurriedly prepares breakfast and takes care of her autistic son Tommy, she
00:55is reminded of a planned outing with friends on a yacht.
00:57The pressure of life and its many hardships push her to the brink, leading to a loss of
01:02control and a tendency to lash out at her autistic child.
01:06The moment Jess slaps her son becomes a turning point, one that fills her with guilt and ultimately
01:11traps her in an endless time loop.
01:13The film can be divided into three main loops, the initial stage leading up to boarding the
01:18yacht, the second loop involving the group of friends caught in a bloody battle aboard the
01:23ship, and the final loop, where Jess drifts ashore, returns home, and comes face to face with
01:30death.
01:31After a violent storm, the group of friends finds themselves adrift in the vast ocean.
01:37In a moment of seeming hopelessness, a mysterious ship suddenly appears, the Aeolus.
01:42The name evokes the legendary wind god from Greek mythology.
01:47At one point, Aeolus gave the sailor Odysseus a bag of winds to help him sail smoothly home.
01:53However, driven by curiosity and doubt, Odysseus opened the bag, causing the ship to be blown
01:58off course and dragged back into the journey.
02:01This serves as a metaphor for the mistakes that trap Jess in an endless return.
02:06When the group boards the Aeolus, they enter the Grand Hall, and Jess asks Greg for the
02:11current time.
02:12He replies 11.30, but both Jess's watch and the hall's clock show 8.17.
02:18This detail suggests that, for Jess, time has stopped forever.
02:22As the group walks along the ship's corridor, they stop in front of a photo labeled Aeolus.
02:28Sally makes a remark referencing Sisyphus, the son of Aeolus, the god of winds in Greek mythology.
02:34According to legend, before his death, Sisyphus instructed his wife not to perform any burial
02:40rites for him.
02:42After descending into the underworld, he pleaded with Hades for three days to return to the
02:47world of the living and ensure his body was properly buried.
02:51However, in the end, Sisyphus broke his promise and did not return to the underworld as he had
02:56vowed.
02:57This act of deceiving death condemned him to a horrific punishment, eternally pushing a
03:02boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down each time he neared the summit.
03:07This myth is the philosophical backbone upon which Triangle is constructed.
03:11Anyone who attempts to deceive death, like Sisyphus, will be punished by being trapped in
03:16an endless loop.
03:18Perhaps the most perplexing and also the most compelling part of Triangle lies in the events
03:23aboard the ghostly ship, the overlapping in interactions between multiple versions of Jess,
03:28and the shifting relationships as these incarnations gradually emerge.
03:32We can identify three primary versions of Jess.
03:36The first who boards the ship, the second who is already there and confronts her.
03:41In one pivotal scene, Jess fights and knocks Jess two inches overboard.
03:45The current Jess then tries to escape, only to endure two more cycles.
03:50At that point, all three versions of Jess coexist simultaneously.
03:54One who has just arrived, one beginning to understand the loop, and one who fully knows
04:00the rules and willingly carries out the killings to ensure the cycle continues.
04:06Rather than dissecting the loop logic aboard the Aeolus, let us focus on the director's
04:10narrative design.
04:11A key rule governing the loop in Triangle is this.
04:14When the last of the five friends dies, the group resets entirely, initiating a new loop.
04:20This explains why Jess witnesses her friends returning to the ship, beginning the cycle anew.
04:25It's implied that the loops aboard the Aeolus may occur far more frequently than the segments
04:30involving arrival and return to shore.
04:32Melissa George portrays all three versions of Jess with striking nuance, especially through
04:37her eyes, which reflect fear, hysteria, cruelty, helplessness, and even fleeting moments of empathy.
04:45We can observe a scene where Greg is about to enter a room marked 237.
04:49A number that coincides with the house number of Jess at the beginning of the film.
04:54Director Christopher Smith borrowed this symbolic reference from the classic horror film The Shining
04:59to depict the fracture in reality, a subtle reminder that time inside the loop is completely frozen.
05:05In addition, Triangle also draws upon the central theme of Original Sin, from Samuel Taylor
05:12Coleridge's epic poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
05:15The apple represents Original Sin, a biblical symbol, which appears when Jess throws it at
05:22the seabirds pecking at Downey's corpse.
05:25This act signifies that the catastrophe is rooted in Jess's own moral failing.
05:30In the poem, the Mariner's crew hangs the dead albatross around his neck as a reminder
05:34of his sin.
05:35In Triangle, the photo of Jess's son worn around her neck symbolically equates the boy to the
05:41innocent albatross, wounded by his mother's cruelty and selfishness.
05:46Jess, burdened with this unatoned guilt, is condemned to wear that necklace, a symbol of
05:51her sin, forever, trapped in eternal remorse.
05:55At the end of Triangle, the final loop is depicted when Jess falls into the sea and returns to shore.
06:02She comes back home and sees her son through the window.
06:04In that moment, Jess witnesses her own past mistake, the cruelty she inflicted on her innocent
06:11child.
06:12Realizing this, she decides to kill the short-tempered version of herself.
06:16Notably, the masked Jess who gets shot in the head, bears the exact same fatal wound as
06:22the Jess seen earlier on the ship, symbolizing the convergence of identities across the loop.
06:28Jess and her son then drive down the road only to hit a seagull, an ever-present bird throughout
06:33the film. This event signals to Jess that she has not escaped the cyclical fate.
06:38Fate repeats itself. The car crash kills her son. The time of death is marked at 8.17,
06:45a time that signifies when time has ceased to move forward. The parade music playing along the road
06:51eerily mirrors the melody heard from the ship's gramophone, reintroduced here in another form.
06:56One final symbolic touch. The pattern on the parade drum is identical to that on the drum in the
07:02ship's restaurant. After the car accident, the camera slowly pans toward the figure of the driver.
07:08The film's lighting clearly shifts from bright to dark, and the background music transitions from
07:14emptiness to an eerie rhythm. At this point, the identity of the driver becomes ambiguous and
07:19mysterious. The conversation between Jess and the driver resembles a dialogue between the dead and
07:26death itself. Perhaps driven by guilt and maternal love, Jess chooses to step back into the loop,
07:32hoping to save her beloved son. The taxi driver brings her back to the harbor. Upon arrival,
07:38he tells her that he forgot to start the meter, an unmistakable sign that time has come to a complete
07:44halt. Then the driver asks. Jess agrees, and never returns. This moment symbolizes her breaking a
08:02promise to death. That broken promise becomes the key, echoing Sally's earlier explanation aboard the
08:08ship. He cheated death. Or no, he made a promise to death that he didn't keep it. I studied it,
08:13but I can't remember. Can we just keep on moving, please? Jess becomes forever bound to the cursed
08:19vessel, a punishment crafted by death itself. This segment appears at the very beginning of the film.
08:26However, we can observe that Jess seems dazed, as if fragments of her memories still linger. At this
08:33point, she and her group of friends head out to sea, marking what seems to be the start of the story.
08:38When Jess dozes off on the boat, it subtly signifies the beginning of a new loop.
08:43Jess appears to forget everything that happened.
08:45I had this terrible dream.
08:48What about?
08:49I don't remember.
08:51Entering a foggy, confused state. And Jess becomes increasingly disoriented,
08:56as if all prior memories had been wiped clean. Perhaps, had Jess not lost her memory,
09:02she might have been able to break the cycle entirely, simply through a shift in her awareness and choices.
09:07In each cycle, Jess holds the axe, both executioner and victim. Every embrace with her son feels like
09:13tightening the screws of her own torment. As the screen fades to black, the ship continues
09:18drifting through the depths of her consciousness. The ship's horn echoes as a symbol of endless inner
09:24suffering. Triangle may not be the most perfect horror film, but it uses the concept of an endless
09:30loop to expose the raw nature of humanity. People cling to even the smallest hopes, unable to escape
09:37the pain that repeats over and over again. If you found this video helpful, please like and subscribe
