      The Butterfly Effect: Believe the World is Changing

      If it can't be changed, if it's just an illusion, if things will only get worse, if everyone is unreliable, if memory is not reliable, if everything turns out to be our creation, what should we do, how should we face this world? Is it like the old saying goes, life is tough, it's hard to accept, but we have to? But how does the world work if we say no?

      We all know what it means to move the whole body with one hair, we all know that a butterfly flapping its wings may bring about a...

      Vibrating wings to change the world

      It's hard for you to define the genre of this film, thriller? plot? sci-fi? Nothing, nothing!

      We all have done wrong things along the way in life, we have all regretted it, we have also fantasized about going back to the past, correcting the path we have gone wrong, changing ourselves or others, not hurting, asking for forgiveness and forgiveness.

      Unfortunately, we don't have a time shuttle, so we can't go back to the past to save mankind and the earth like the Terminator....

      When dreams become reality

      The film begins with a group of children who are terribly crazy in their childhood. Violence, rape, and sex are all things that do not belong to children's childhood. All appear on the big screen. The protagonist of the story, Evan, suffered from transient amnesia in his childhood, and those terrible images would automatically disappear in his mind so that his character was not distorted in the process of growing up. Childhood memories are devastated.
             When Evan was already a student...

      It's so perfect and shocking, I don't understand why there are still people picking on it


      1. The male pig's foot is always handsome, if you don't believe me, see "Meet and Hate Early"

      2. The male pig's foot is good at acting, natural and impeccable

      3. There are no flaws in the whole movie, if you say yes, it means you don't understand


      the following Explaining the bombing:

      Nima! It's not the explosion that changes his personality! !

      Is to change his life! ! !

      His memory had serious problems before it exploded, OK?...

      A big dream, mandarin ducks and butterflies

      (2010)

         The Butterfly Effect does a great job in the sheer sense of the film; but in terms of an ambitious work, it lacks capacity to carry much meaning. Fortunately, readers have their own Hamlet, can turn out different tricks.
         It is said that this film has four endings, three of which are to meet the warm needs of the mass market, which are not worth mentioning; Evan in the director's cut version strangled himself as a baby is what Eric Bress wanted to express most. ....

      A movie that has been talked about countless times by people, the Butterfly Effect is destined to become a classic in suspense movies. It is not as obscure as Mulholland Drive, nor is it as clueless as memory fragments, not even the mechanic. Outrageous acting. But I have to admit, it's a classic among...

      The ending song is really tear-jerking, every time the hero makes a change, it will only lead to worse results, so he chooses to solve the problem at the root and directly...

      I'd rather choose that I didn't give birth. It turned out to be a loser movie. +1 is almost impossible, it will cause -1 every time you go back, so... choose...

      I seem to have seen two endings. The first time I watched it was that he returned to his mother's belly and committed suicide. The second time it seemed that Casey met but didn't recognize each other. . . How many endings are there. ....

      If I had made another choice, what would have happened today. In fact, I don't really like this movie, I'm just obsessed with this ambiguous assumption. There are too many variables in life. If you don't pay attention, you will fall into a catastrophe. There is no room for...
