At 11 o'clock in the morning on October 6, 2009, this moment is destined to be remembered by history.
At that time, Mark was in a speeding car, and his eyes suddenly went dark. He fell into a coma for an instant, and the flashing occurred suddenly.
After waking up, he was stunned by the scene in front of him: a plane crashed, a car collided, there was a billowing smoke and fire everywhere, and the crowd was lying on the ground, as if it was the end of the world.
Seven billion people around the world collectively fell into a coma at the same time, which lasted 2 minutes and 17 seconds.
In the coma, 40 million people were killed in a series of accidents.
In the coma, everyone's time jumped backward for half a year, and they briefly saw their own future among the electric light and flint. This strange phenomenon was later called "flashing".
This "future" was accurate to 8 o'clock in the evening on April 29, 2010, six months after the "Sparkle Shadow" incident occurred.
In just 2 minutes and 17 seconds, the whole world lost control disastrously.
The future that everyone sees is enough to change the trajectory of today's life. Amidst the confusion, an unprecedented chaos broke out.
People are in extreme panic, all kinds of short-lived, long-lived, panic, various religions and cults take advantage of the prevailing situation, some organizations and groups take advantage of the opportunity to profit, the global state apparatus is like a big enemy.
The flashing reveals a lot of incomplete and dangerous information. For Mark, this is a future he doesn’t want to see: he will drink heavily, separate from his wife Olivia, and then encounter a group of people in black in the office. The chase.
At the same time, Olivia was also taken aback by the flashing scenes: half a year later, she was going to have a fiery fight with a strange man.
This strange man appeared in her life the next day, his name was Roy. He was the father of the little boy Dylan, and she was Dylan's attending doctor. As they met again and again, they quickly changed from strange to familiar.
Even more weird things are still to come. A mysterious person told Olivia that she and Roy should have been a couple, and all this was already destined.
That year, Olivia was admitted to Harvard University. According to fate, she and Roy would meet and fall in love on campus, and then get married and have children.
But Olivia met Mark at that time. When fish and bear's paw were not both available, she gave up Harvard and chose love.
The road of destiny has turned a corner here and embarked on a fork in the road. Olivia and Mark formed a family, and another woman took her place. She fell in love with Roy at Harvard, and she was Dylan's mother.
But the wheel of fortune has a strong ability to correct errors. Even if it changes temporarily, it will eventually be on the right track. You can't choose the result, you can only choose the process.
Today, Roy's wife has died in a coma, and her marriage with Mark has come to an end. She and Roy will eventually get together.
Fate made Olivia feel absurd, but in her heart she had to admit that this Roy was gentle and personable, just the type she liked.
Compared with Roy, Mark suddenly exposed many shortcomings. He is work-oriented, has a bad temper, and never cared about her feelings.
She loves Mark. No one is perfect. He may have all kinds of faults, but she loves him. Olivia was in a dilemma, she didn't know what to do.
Unwilling to accept the mercy of fate, she resists, she escapes, she wants to move to another city with Mark to start again.
Olivia wants to save the marriage, but Mark is busy saving the world. This is the biggest difference between a man and a woman.
He set up a platform for everyone to upload their flashing content, cross-index, and confirm each other, to put together a big panorama of the future world that day.
He pursued the future so persistently, tried so hard to rewrite fate, but forgot the most important thing: grasp the present.
Too many things happened in half a year. One day Olivia was surprised to find that she had been drifting away from Mark before she knew it, and it was Roy who was with her in the end, the man she was destined for. .
This is the powerful power of Shining. If you don't see the future, how can you feel so strong even if you meet this person? The future becomes the cause of the present, and the behavior of the present activates the results leading to the future, becoming an endless loop of mutual catalysis of cause and effect.
"Future Flash" is a series broadcast on ABC TV in the United States in 2009. It is based on a novel by the famous Canadian science fiction writer Robert J. Sawyer. The novel won the Nebula Award that year.
In order to enhance the drama, the screenwriter adjusted the time of the "Future Flash" in the original work from 21 years to 6 months.
A question is set in the play: Can the future be changed? If the future is predictable, does it mean that life is manipulated?
When the mysterious veil was unveiled in the future, the world was turned upside down from then on.
If the future is bad, we must try our best to destroy it. If it is good, can you sit back and relax from now on? If you no longer work hard now, does the good ending that requires a lot of hard work still exist?
Facing the known future, some people believe that man will conquer the sky, and some accept the arrangement of fate. So some people are dead, some people are alive, some people deserve to die but not, and some people don't deserve to die but die.
In fact, the future suggested by the flash is only the greatest possibility, and the future does not necessarily happen.
The road of life is full of variables. Fate will always only bow to the strong. There is a way that the world is like a new chess game, one day without a coffin, and one day inconclusive. Sometimes, even after the coffin is closed, the conclusion may not be reached.
