    20200214 A great work that evokes many, many memories. The greatness lies in its hopeless sense of hopelessness. Rewatching it years later, I still think, oh how much I love this one. 20060109 is a time travel film that takes a very serious attitude towards the passage of time, so the atmosphere of tragedy has been determined from the beginning, but the audience does not know it yet.

    The plot is not bad. First, it feels like traveling through time and space and then makes the audience suspicious between time and space travel and spiritual fantasy... The subsequent plot confirms that it is indeed back to 1996... Trying to explore whether the future can change history? If it can be changed , Will there be a new future? Will there be a parallel world or simply kill the "old future"?!... The eyes of the child at the end are worth...

    This film belongs to the atypical sci-fi genre. Of course, as an atypical director, Gilliam basically shoots atypical works, with a grotesque and self-contained style; this film has a sci-fi skin, but what it insists on conveying is the Scientific research or the opposite religious view of rationalism - fatalism: everything that happens and doesn't happen is predestined, cannot be resisted, can only be accepted. This pessimism and despair is also its...

    Cassandra in Greek legend, you recall, was condemned to know the future but to be disbelieved when she foretold it. Hence the agony of foreknowledge combined with the impotence to do anything about...

    Like "Closed Island," these are all imagined by Bruce Willis, not science fiction. It only adopts a closed loop structure in the narrative. The first time I watched this film was a videotape I watched in 1996 (probably). Back then, I actually thought it was science fiction. There was a report on the inside front cover of a certain issue of "Science Fiction World" in 1995, which is...

    The beauty is that the surviving elites in the future do not want to go back to the past to prevent disasters from happening. They only want to find a way to live on the ground and those who do not make sense in their eyes let them die. And the male protagonist is not a traditional hero, and he wants to save the world. He completed the entire closed loop in...

    The American interpretation of "Dyke" comes when the Left Bank meets Hollywood. "All your piety and wisdom will not make it have a trace of redemption, and all your tears will not make it change a little." The various tributes to Xi Pang are very...

    You think you can change history, but history will also revise itself, but it's just that if you change people, the result will still be the same. Because the person who has returned to the past has become a part of history and can only participate and cannot change the future. The future is now. (Pitt shot at the beginning, assistant at the end) Believe it or not, this is how I understand...
