The male protagonist is played by Nicolas Cage, who has the ability to foresee the future, but only for two minutes and his own future.
Because of seeing the future and preventing a casino murder, the male protagonist is regarded as a suspect and is targeted by the FBI. The FBI urgently needs to prevent a nuclear bomb explosion in Los Angeles and needs his help. But at the same time, he hated that since he was a child, adults always asked him to make some meaningless predictions in the name of games after they knew that he had super powers, and just wanted to be an ordinary person.
At the same time, the male protagonist saw the female protagonist in his future and appeared in a restaurant at 8:09. So he went to that restaurant every day, and about three or four days later he really met the heroine.
Love at first sight, one night stand, let it flow. The male protagonist found that after meeting the female protagonist, the length of time he could foresee the future was greatly enhanced.
The heroine was captured by the villain. The hero saved the heroine and cooperated with the FBI. FBI agents went to rescue her. Along the way, many snipers were solved by the male protagonist's foresight ability. In the end, the heroine was rescued, but at the same time, the nuclear bomb also exploded in Los Angeles, and everyone was wiped out.
The male protagonist woke up and was still on the morning when the one-night stand with the female protagonist ended.
In order to avoid the future he saw, the male protagonist decided to take the initiative to cooperate with the FBI. The male protagonist went to the bed to wake the female protagonist and said, "I have something to do, maybe a week, maybe a month. If you are willing to wait, I will definitely find you."
The male protagonist gets into the FBI car and the movie ends.
Male protagonist's famous quote: When you look at the future, the future is already changing.
In other words, it is possible to change the future.
The film is a traditional action film, exciting, sci-fi, handsome male protagonist, no casualties in the protagonist.
But I started to think about a question, whether all the movies of this type will come out with a female protagonist, and is this to serve the heroic saving beauty complex? The movie is advertised as "destiny", but this is so unfair to the heroine. The heroine can't see the future he sees. For the heroine, his one-night stand partner told her in the morning of the second day of the one-night stand, I'm leaving, you wait for me. WTF! Take off the shell of the movie package, isn't this a scumbag, a sea king.
The existence of the female protagonist is to reflect the heroic spirit of the male protagonist. Maybe it is also the routine of this type of movie? After all, it is everyone's favorite to see love in action movies. Who doesn't love the hero saving beauty complex? However, my inner feminism is just around the corner. Although the FBI agent in the film is a woman, she is the first to make a correct judgment, but what is all this for the heroine who appears in the future of the hero? She's just a tool for the villain to threaten the male protagonist, I'm tired of the existence of such characters.
Overall, the movie is pretty cool, and the setting of two minutes into the future is amazing and provides a lot of insight for the audience and other directors.
