arrow of time

Relying on the multiplicity of time and space, this film shows us the stories of different time and space under different choices. As urbanized, we take every day for granted, what is the task today, and how is the exam the day after tomorrow? , where is the deadline for this project, the long line is a river that will never return, we regret its passing, but may not pay attention to its beauty, we long for vacation, for this weekend of leisure, time Sheng Sheng has different weights because of our psychological expectations. The hands on the clock are not only the mechanical monotonous movement, but have different heat because it may carry our stories, so the elderly will recall in their later years, At a certain moment in a certain year, such a story happened, and my life was full of meaning during those precious moments.
The word regret may not be suitable for the protagonist in the movie, but he will also have a choice of melancholy, even if he has the ability to see the future, he can see every path he chooses, but he can't see everything s Choice. The setting of the movie is somewhat similar to an anime I have seen before, and it also has some similarities to the movie Butterfly Effect. In some key choices, the protagonist has the ability to see the future impact clearly, and can see clearly through his own ability. Choose the scenery behind, so of course he will choose the action that has a better impact on himself, but in our daily life, we have to bury our heads in every action and accept all the results of the choice, and art can provide us with a A description, a description of a life we ​​have not experienced. If there are parallel time and space in life, then we can't feel them through reason, so they don't mean much to us. If the protagonist has experienced all the things in such a time and space through the eyes of the future, then this choice is for him. That is to say, it is a reality in which his actions are restricted, so he is not free. At the age of nine, the protagonist chose to leave the choice of father and mother, and time and space traveled in another direction, just like a U-turn and firm train heading into the distance.
What attracts me most about the movie is the beauty of the shuttle between the plots, not the novelty brought by the theory of time and space transformation. Of course, as a scientific theory, it can also bring a lot of novel discussions and brain holes, but seeing one The people who love deeply in another time and space are just strangers passing by each other, disappearing into the vast sea of ​​people rubbing shoulders, and sighs will arise spontaneously. The pursuit of love runs through the whole film. Every choice has the consideration of the proposition of love, and each result also gives a different result of love. When you imagine that the person you love may play a role in another time and space. With different characters, maybe at your next intersection, or you are no longer in this world, the arrow of time is flying in the sky.
The choice behind the little boy also reminded me of another movie, Big Fish. It is not so much a choice in a different time and space, but it can also be said to be an old man's self-fulfillment through artistic vision in his memories. The protagonist of the big fish pursues the track of his father's memories, and loses his true textual research in the toss and turns, and is immersed in his father's passion for life and reshaping of life, even if he may have been far away from the truth, even if the old man in front of him. His real past life may be hard and ordinary, but who can deny the warmth and enthusiasm of his heart blooming? Isn't the world between the screen and his imagination real? Isn't it a parallel space-time? This movie also points to completion. The old man recalled the sudden choice of the child while sketching the memories. The little boy ran to the maple leaves under the big tree and blew up the heavy maple leaves, and the maple leaves flew to the road and the sea. , to his beloved girl, to the future.

    Beautiful. Master Leto is beautiful, and the rest of the actors are also beautiful. The constant flashbacks and possibilities of life are so beautiful. Don't compare it with other sci-fi films, this is a literary film.
