You really understand the butterfly effect! ?

Butterfly effect is about causality in space, and this film defines the butterfly effect in time. If you don't know what the butterfly effect is, Po kid suggests to go to Baidu Encyclopedia to check "butterfly effect" and "chaos".
The following previous speeches were expounded on the premise of not connecting with parallel cosmology.
First, I'm explaining movie mysteries, not what parallel universes are.
Second, there are many versions of parallel universes. You say this is a parallel universe, but there may be a more advanced definition than you.
Third, if it is interpreted according to the current correct parallel cosmology, this movie is impossible to make.
Therefore, please don't combine parallel universes in this film with Broken Children.

Mystery explanation:

When you watch the whole film, you must know that Evan has such an ability: after observing the previous substantive items (diaries, photos or slides) related to himself, he can completely transfer his consciousness to the subject The world where the reminder is located, and can manipulate the self at that time with consciousness to change the result of the development of certain things, and then come to the "time of the present age", "the result of the changed things" 'The resulting new world' (i.e. defining the butterfly effect in time).

There must be something memorable in everyone's life, right? When recalling the event, it feels like experiencing it all over again, even imagining what would happen if it didn't happen or didn't happen that way. But in fact, it is "memory", or "YY", it is not going back to the past, and Evan in the movie "returns" to that time together with his present consciousness! This point must be made clear from the beginning. If you really take this point and read it carefully, you don't need to read my explanation below.

In the movie, the first time Amy looked at the diary was when he was a teenager. At that time, he was beaten by Tommy. From then until the new world where he is now, the things that happened are: by Tommy Beating, hearing Tommy say to Laney "Want to be an adulterous bastard with your mom?", hearing Tommy tell himself why he was angry and doing a series of actions, and seeing Tommy burning a dog move. These events are all Evan's passive events, so the only difference between coming to the new world and returning to the world before that time is that he remembers those 3 things. The impact was that he went to see Lenny, and Lenny blurted out "Do you want to be a bastard who committed adultery with your mother?" Evan answered "It really happened" logically, but he didn't understand why Lenny was angry. Then read...

The second time I read the diary, he was still a teenager. The events that happened were: being burned by a cigarette butt, and seeing a mother and daughter killed by Tommy's bomb with his own eyes. The effects of coming to the new world are: the extra burning scar on his stomach and his actions to contact Lenny again when he understands the reason for Lenny's anger. After that, it indirectly influenced a series of events, including his meeting with Kelly and later Kelly's suicide. This is also the reason why he went to see the third diary.

The third incident is: seeing Kelly's dad asking her and Kelly to undress, persuading Kelly's dad not to do so. The effect is: Kelly does not have that bad memory, so Evan is naturally good in Kelly's impression, so there is a reason to live with Evan in Evan's Return to the New World. There is also a reason for such a thing to happen after that... [Note here, from the first time I read the diary to the third time I read the diary, Evan no longer has the slightest impression, can you understand? Like the conversation between Gwen, the naked girl in the bathroom, the guy handing out the cheat sheet (and the guy who was at the bar with Gwen the popcorn thrower) and Evan are good friends... Evan is confused because he doesn't Know what happened in the middle]

This change can be said to be the most proud result of Evan's change in the past, and it can be said that the situation of the male protagonist in the film has reached its peak. The director will use the most suggestive language "You have no lifeline." , you do not belong to this world!" There is a reason for putting it here (friends who don't understand will naturally understand after reading the explanation).

The good times didn't last long, and later in an incident where Tommy was attacked, because Tommy already had in his recollections the evil things Tommy had done (killing the mother and daughter, ruining Laney's life, burning his Dog, etc...), he shot Tommy to death in a rage, so he was imprisoned, and life in prison was so difficult, in order to convince his roommate that he had the ability to change the past, and to let him protect himself and return to a safe He wanted to go back to the past, so he went back for the fourth time with only a few pages of diary leftovers, drew a picture of himself killing two criminals, and injured his hands to convince his roommates after returning to the new world. Own. Naturally, he successfully returned to the past for the fifth time...

Unfortunately, this time he did something wrong. Although the dog was released by Tommy, the tool Evan gave to Lanny turned out to be the one that Lenny killed Tommy. The murder weapon, of course, there is a reason for the consequences that Lenny was chained to the deck by his limbs, and of course Lenny would also say "You should be where I am." to Evan.

In order to save Lenny, Evan went back for the sixth time, he met his dad, he inherited his dad Jason's genes, so Jensen must have had the same experience as Evan, and of course his father Jason can see The person who was talking to him was not a child at all. During the conversation, Jensen obviously revealed some concerns. He was worried that one day Evan would kill his wife because he had no choice but to change some things. He was worried that Evan would look at his postcards and go back to the past to do something unfavorable to him. , In order to eliminate this possibility, he decided to kill Evan, but the consequences were the opposite... helplessly unable to change Lenny's fate, he returned to his own world.

After this, Tommy no longer exists, and of course sister Kelly will fall (Imagine what a person who has no sense of responsibility will develop in the end? Plus Evan is broken by Tommy when he returns to the past for the fifth time) , Amy feels that things are still so bad, so he wants to start from the root - so that the bomb in the letter box does not hurt the mother and daughter. So he went back to the past for the seventh time...

This time, the bomb didn't hit the mother and daughter, but it hit himself, so Tommy changed his confidence, stopped doing evil, and Lenny and Kelly, the stains in their memories no longer exist. However, he is disabled in the new world! What made him even more depressed was that Lenny and Kelly became friends, and Evan, who was disabled, didn't even have the physical capital to fall in love with Kelly! The world is real, there is no special reason, no one wants to marry a disabled person, and Lenny and Kelly have been in love for so long in seven years... plus the mother's habit of smoking because of her physical disability, Caused by lung cancer...he decided to go back in time again to save himself and his mother.

At this time, Evan found that the number of diaries was getting smaller and smaller (when he changed the past, it would also affect whether he would write a diary or even stop writing a diary), so that he could only go back to a younger age The era he was in... The eighth time, he appeared at home, unable to quickly stop the explosion, and had no choice but to return...

The ninth time, he appeared at Kelly's father's house, and this mission was not the third time to return It used to be as simple as stopping Kelly's dad from taking off their clothes, his job was to stop the explosion, but Evan did a terrible job - he blew Kelly! (Voiceover: He could have hidden the bomb and convince Daddy Kelly not to do it to them at the same time, but he panics! Damn!)

When he comes back, he finds himself in a mental hospital, and what happens after that The series of events made everyone discover a problem: the first few times "back in the past" was only Evan's assumption? ? ? Is it imagination and dreams? ? ? Then the tenth time back to the past was just imagined by the director to create a happy ending? ? ? Now I tell those who think so: You are misled! And deeply in the director's trap! In fact, in the universe he passed through, he has been experiencing amnesia since he was a child and was manipulated by him last time, so in every new world, he was regarded by others as "more and more serious", And the diary finally disappeared after this return (the doctor said he never wrote a diary), these are misleading events, and the sentence "...of killing kelly Miller" is a strong proof that it was not Evan Schizophrenia, not a fantasy or a dream (this sentence proves that Kelly was indeed killed, and indeed Evan used his diary to return to the past for the ninth time!).

so! For the tenth and final time, he used a slideshow to return to the scene where his mother gave birth to him, and committed suicide in his mother's womb! The purpose is: so that Kelly will not experience being bombed to death! Obviously, he loves Kelly. so! Po Child thinks: This is a film that focuses on love, but it is interspersed with family and friendship. After so many people who have gone back to the past, they have no prejudice against others, and they have experienced love, friendship and family, and the result is sublimation. (that is, death), this series makes this film a philosophical film that comprehensively tells about life (I don’t want to hear anyone say that this is a suspense thriller or even a sci-fi film! That’s just a trick, or just a For those who have a superficial understanding of the film, the classification title).

Regarding the paper Evan wrote before the tenth time back in time: "Anyone who finds this, it means the plan doesn't work and I'm dead." The broken child thinks this is wrong and should be changed to: "Any If people find this, it means the plan doesn't work and I'm going to kill myself." (It's silly to write that!) Or just don't write it at all! Imagine: if he fails, it means that the content of the previous film is all hypothetical, and the result can only be that he is arrested by the police and doctors to continue treatment, not "already dead" at all; if he succeeds, this The space will no longer exist, or it will not be within the scope of his consciousness, and there is no point in writing this. What I understand is this: it's just a reminder to the audience and throughout the whole movie, and see how silly this scene is!

Follow-up:

Movies are movies. I don’t want everyone to be satisfied after watching the movie, because you understand the truth but don’t understand the truth. This needs a little explanation: In terms of reality, this person does not exist in our world at all. Existed, if there is a parallel universe, theoretically he can do those things in other dimensions, of course, the ghost knows!
For example, let's imagine that there are many albums on a table. From the first episode to the last episode, each episode is a world of Evan (the movie is interspersed with a certain clip of different albums), Of course, Evan in each album is different, so Evan's thoughts in each album must be different (each develops his own life), Evan is switching his "world" for the first time ”, in theory, the whole of him has changed, that is, his brain and the memories stored in his brain. It should be said that when Evan went to another world, all the videos in this album were stored in his brain. , and none of the videos in his previous albums. That is to say, Evan can jump in these universes, while his memory maintains the continuity of "absolute time and space". Figuratively speaking, if all the albums are tied with a rope, Evan can pass through the album where he is now. Climbing to other albums by looking at the diary, and the album just climbed to is exactly what the diary is depicting, that is, through the butterfly effect to reach an existing world that gives known results, he created Videos in this album! However! The universes are parallel, and crossing one universe is absolutely impossible to get any atoms from the universe before the crossing. And Evan can still remember what he did in the first universe (ie remembering that he had the ability to see the diary and go back in time)!

Speaking of this, I don't know if everyone understands it. If you understand, hehe, you can say with me, "It is crazy!" The movie uses only one condition that is illogical, but it also affects the essence of the movie! Without this condition, I would not have a more subtle theoretical bug to allow the director to write such a meaningful and realistic movie! ! !
