The Ending Theory of "Foreseeing the Future"

I have never written a film review. I had a lot of thoughts after watching this film, so I came up to write indiscriminately. Neither praise nor derogation, purely neutral.
The actors in this film don’t need to comment too much, and Lao Ni’s acting skills have nothing to say. Let's talk about the plot. From the beginning of the film, the new ability of people to foresee the future was used to arouse the audience's interest. But soon the audience lost the freshness of the beginning, because the film had the beginning and the ending, the plot and the frame were no different from most European and American movies of the subject, and the plot was in the expectation of most audiences until 5 minutes before the end. Within the scope of development. After all, the current audience has been diverted to the limit by too many similar European and American blockbusters.
but! It happened to be this last magical touch, a seemingly incomplete ending, not only unexpected, but also fascinating and thought-provoking. In my opinion, these few minutes have condensed all the essence of the whole movie. When the climax part of the protagonist rescued his girlfriend, we were all sighing and admiring the protagonist’s superpowers, and preparing to skip the ending that we thought we had guessed, the film turned around, the nuclear bomb detonated, and the camera was drawn from Lao Ni’s mind. The silk peeled out. It turns out that everything is prediction. This is beyond everyone's expectation, but it is the most perfect ending. The seemingly tense and depressive film in the end gave the audience such a wonderful ending, which can be called a brilliant pen.
First of all, it is obvious that the protagonist's superpowers are indeed strengthened after encountering the heroine-able to predict the future for more than 2 minutes. But when you look back carefully, you will find that from the time when the two lingered on the bed, no matter how many branch predictions there were in the big prediction, all his choices were decided for the heroine. One word for the reason, love. He loves her, although there is only one short day and one night, but what he gives is true love. This comes from a long time of thinking and waiting, but also from the helplessness and boredom of one's own super powers, and the resulting escape from a life without freshness. He loves her, so his prediction does not allow her to make any mistakes. But the result? In exchange for the deaths of 8 million people (including the two of them, of course). The ending that was hardly "thinked" ended in such an annihilated way, and no one could accept it. So when he recovered, he began to meditate. Finally he figured out something, which is what this film is going to tell us.
The first is his own narration: No matter how you predict the future, it is useless. Because you see it, it will change. This point should be shown to those fortune tellers, but also to those who want to know their future.
Second, there is no best of both worlds. Even if you can predict the future, even if you save and load the future like a stand-alone ARPG game in your mind, you still cannot guarantee that you will not only protect yourself and your beloved, but also the overall national security.
Third, don't avoid it. The protagonist always thought that he was facing bravely in the predicted future, but the moment he woke up he understood that it is not called facing, just a little active and involuntarily involuntarily. He only longed for himself to get rid of the troubles caused by his superpowers, and he longed to stay with his beloved ones, which led to the prediction that he only wanted to save his beloved ones, which led to his selective attitude towards the safety of the country. Evasion even led to the predicted tragic big bang ending.
So, after "waking up", he touched her hair and said the sentence in the prediction that told her to wait for him. The difference is that he added this sentence: "There are some things to be solved, and I can no longer Escaped".
At the end of the film, the protagonist decisively chooses to face it bravely, chooses to bid farewell to his beloved, and to face the evil forces bravely regardless of his own safety. The potential ending of the film is self-evident. The protagonist saves the city and he is bound to win, because he has something more precious than superpowers---knowing how to face it, how to make choices, and how to take responsibility. As for his beloved, he was naturally safe and sound, and so far he had nothing to ask for, thank God as long as she was alive. As for his own life and death, it really doesn't matter anymore. Because even if he died, he would feel that he would die for the country and for his beloved without regret. However, in my opinion, at least one thing is that he is still very happy, and that is that it was just a terrible prediction, which has not happened yet, and there is still a chance to change. Can. . . What about our reality? Once it happens, it cannot be changed.
Lao Ni jumped into the goddess gunner's car, full of people's hopes, and went all the way. What is left to people is endless foreseeing the ending and deep thinking about the film. . . .
