The Basic Plot Points Of The 2009 Movie
Triangle is filled with hints and allusions to the real story of what's happening that aren't obvious until the entire film is viewed. The movie begins with Jess yelling at her autistic son Tommy (Joshua McIvor) for leaving his toys outside, asking, "What's wrong with you?" That morning, Jess has been invited on a boat cruise with some friends, and she packs up Tommy to take with her. Just before they leave, the doorbell rings but when Jess answers, no one is there. The scene then jumps to th...
The Time Loop Does Not Start Until A Few Scenes Into The Movie
The real story of Triangle begins before the movie does. Jess is a presumably single mother of a son with autism. The challenges that come with raising a child with autism have strained Jess, and the movie starts with Jess expressing this frustration in an unfortunate way by berating him. While it may not be fair to judge Jess on this one morning, Triangle is not interested in fairly punishing its protagonistand instead uses this incident as the rationale for the ordeal it's about to put its...
The Title Has A Significant Meaning
The setting for the time loop is Greg's boat. Again and again, Jess goes on Greg's boat, gets capsized, and floats to the abandoned ocean liner. This is where the title of the movie becomes key. Triangle could have a few meanings, but the boat setting, storms, and abandoned ocean liner all point to the title being a reference to the Bermuda Triangle, the site of an urban legend that describes a triangular patch of ocean in the Atlantic as particularly dangerous to those who enter it. What's m...
The Time Loop Has Rules But They Make Sense
The mechanics of the time loop in Triangle are not all that complicated as far as time travel movie rulesare concerned. In this Sisyphean-like time loop, Jess has become trapped after dying, like in the Greek myth. Every time it appears that she will succeed and rescue her son, she is sent back to the beginning with no knowledge of the previous loop. The loop begins with Jess getting on the Triangle. Fate then capsizes their boat and drifts them toward the abandoned ocean liner. Jess realizes...
The End Of The Film Comes Back To The Beginning
It's from this line that Jess understands the only way to end the loop is to kill everyone on board. So she dons the burlap sack, kills some version of her friends, and is pushed overboard by another Jess. She wakes up on the shore on the same morning. J ess goes to her home, rings the doorbell to distract her counterpart, kills the Jess at home, and takes Tommy in the car, believing she's escaped the loop. However, when Jess hits a seagull as she drives and gets out to move it, she sees doze...
Jess Is Being Punished
Triangle can be viewed as a Greek tragedy. Jess is punished for her offense against Tommy by being put into a Sisyphean hell that she cannot escape. In the myth, Sisyphus is a trickster who cheats death multiple times. He is punished by being forced to roll a giant boulder up a hill only for it to roll down every time it nears the top, repeating the cycle for eternity. Like Sisyphus, Jess' transgression seems slight for such a brutal punishment, but that's the way Greek myths go sometimes. Th...

A good question is why this movie is sold under the title "Dragon Force" in Germany - I didn't spot any dragons ;-) "Death Triangle" tells the story of two police investigators (Cynthia Khan as Yang and Moon Lee as Li).
Mar 20, 2020 · Yes Madam! (henceforward A Serious Shock!, though what a stupid title) stars Cynthia Khan as Wan Chin, a cop who’s about to get married, unaware of the fact that her husband Wilson (Lawrence Ng) is cheating on her with her best friend and police partner May (Moon Lee).
