A designed life with twists and turns.
Quite the taste of Truman's Life + Butterfly Effect.
Harold slowed down his wristwatch for three minutes, just in time to help the cyclist boy who slipped and was hit. So the boy didn't cross that bridge and erased another traffic accident.
However, like Harold breaking his own rule of life, Karen did this as well.
It is the wristwatch sent Harold to the death, it is the wristwatch saved his life. Unbelievable coincidence.
And then, it became a commedy instead of tragedy
. In contrast, the romantic story that has been brushed over is just a tool of the story.
Sometimes when we lose ourselves in fear and despair in ruoutine and constancy, and hopelessness and tradgedy, we can thank god for Bavarian sugar cookies.
