Ah, there's English subtitles. but I just don't understand what the movie was trying to say =.=
Ahhh right. [ ATTENTION: SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]
Well... lol, basically from the beginning, it just really goes straight into it, with introducing the main character and showing how she lives alone, goes to work for about 10pm, and then the first flicker goes at 9:56 and she just shrugs it off and goes to work. Pretty normal and it starts on her way home, where she's shook up by a suicide that occurs in the train station she's using. Usually she uses her car but someone had parked infront of her so she was forced to use the train ,which is where she has the encounter with that woman. ( also you witness her jogging at the beginning which is significant to when she meets the lone girl in her apartment )
Then that woman continually haunts her, which makes her take time off work so she can begin to be set up with the rest of the movie. She notices the lights flickering at 9:56, which she remembered was the previous night, so looks over at the opposite building to see people turning their lights off and a suicide taking place. With this she goes to the police to report that she's seen this suicide and she begins to feel something is wrong. She tries to leave her apartment but feels haunted by the suicide woman who tried to take her with her, and then you see her jogging again. This time she meets the disabled girl and it shows them becoming friends. This is significant to the story as you would understand about the ending.
Throughout the rest of it, she just witnesses more and more suicides and is feared and hated by the residents of the opposite building because she tries to warn people not to turn their lights off before 10pm so they wouldn't be at risk of dying. And throughout it... before each victim dies... you see a flash of the past. The past of what they're invovled with with the girl who lives alone. Their... secret lives. You're kinda made to think it's happening NOW, but it's the past, because when you find out exactly who that girl is... you realise it's flashes from the past.
Did i help at all? Or just rant on about things you already knew? XD
