First film review

I saw that no one posted a long film review, let me post one. (Completely spoiler)
1. The camera inside actually took one at 8 o'clock every morning. The woman found it, but neither of the men knew about it. So when the woman saw the first photo at 8 o'clock in the morning, she was standing in front of the window with the reminder. The note mainly wrote things that I had to pay attention to that day. After she got it, she knew what she had to do today, including killing the man who was derailed later. Then, the next morning, she had to write down these things she had done on paper and go to the window to take a photo. This photo will travel through time and return to the first day, becoming the photo that reminds her of her behavior that day. So every day, she uses this operation to make herself do a lot of correct behaviors that day.
2. In the development of the plot, she feels that her boyfriend is ignoring her more and more. She and the cheating man feel better and better. Finally, one morning after they killed the black boss and got a lot of money, She saw the morning photo, showing what she had to do today: including changing the photo and killing the cheating man. So, at 20 o'clock that evening, she went to the camera and took the real photo (the incident in the east window, with a police seal on the window) and replaced it with a naked photo of herself and the cheating man (boyfriend was sleeping on the sofa). After seeing her, her boyfriend wanted to change the future, so he went to argue with the cheating man, but was knocked out by the cheating man. Later, after breaking free, he threatened to destroy the camera, so he fought with the derailed man and was almost killed for an instant. The derailed man was killed by the woman.
3. The boyfriend became suspicious. It was 8 o'clock the next morning. He found that the woman was taking a photo with a reminder note to change the photo and kill the cheating man. The female confession, in fact, the lingering photos are not from the future, but from the past when they were drunk. Later when she was the first to enter that room, she took it from the wall. The boyfriend wanted to destroy the machine, the woman tasted the sweetness and refused, and shot her boyfriend to death.
4. The arrest of a woman is very puzzling. There seems to be a bug. Since the seal will be posted that night, it should be the same day after the boyfriend was killed. The camera took a picture at 8 in the morning and will not take another picture during the day. How could the police take another picture after it was taken away by the police? She couldn't take another shot with the reminder. And she hadn't seen the photo of her taking this reminder strip away from the window yesterday. When did she want to remind herself? It doesn't make sense here. She should take the money and leave as soon as possible. The photo at night must have been sealed, but it may have nothing to do with her.

Time Lapse quotes

  • Callie: [reading from Bezzerides' journal] I know the rule of time and causality is that one should not attempt to change the future. But under these circumstances, it seems to be a risk worth taking. If I believed in God, I would pray today that no greater harm will come from what I am about to do.

  • Jasper: Don't fuck with time.
