The future is not about you want to change, you can change it if you want.

The setting of this film is: the future cannot be changed, the past cannot be changed, you can only control the present. Below is the timeline diagram and analysis I drew.

The upper part is the photo taken, that is, what you did at 8 o’clock in the morning and evening; the lower part is the output photo, which shows what you did at 8 o’clock in the morning and evening the next day. The photo taken today was output yesterday, and the photo output today was taken tomorrow. This is how the camera works.

Today’s picture will be taken at 8 AM today and tomorrow’s picture will be output. Let's explain the principle of betting on the dog race.

You only need to write down the result of tomorrow (No. 4) tomorrow (No. 4), and you will see the result of tomorrow (No. 4) today (No. 3). So you already know the result tomorrow (on the 4th) and you can win the bet. You only need to write down the results of tomorrow (4th) tomorrow (4th), and you will get a photo of tomorrow (4th) with the result of tomorrow night (8 o'clock) tomorrow night through your camera, so you know in advance tomorrow (4th) The result of the game, you can bet to win the game tomorrow. But tomorrow (on the 4th) you still have to post the result of the game you already know on the window at 8 o'clock, so that the night before you can get a photo of the result of the next night. Because the camera will output tomorrow's images today. Output today's image yesterday. In other words, the camera has the function of capturing images at any point in time. In a sense, the camera has the function of traveling through time and space. For an object with shuttle function, today and tomorrow are happening at the same time, he can shuttle back and forth between them, so it seems to us that the camera seems to have a delay in advance, the output tomorrow will be taken today, but for the camera In other words, this happens at the same time. For the camera, today's output action and tomorrow's shooting action happen at the same time, because it can traverse, but people cannot, so we have a reverse delay. Let me talk about why the future cannot be changed, and the past cannot be changed.

Situation 1: Today you see the photo showing 1, and tomorrow you post 1 on the window, and see the photo is 2, the day after tomorrow you post 2 on the window, and the photo is 3, the day after tomorrow you post on the window 3. Situation 2: Today you see the photo showing 1 and tomorrow you post 1 on the window, see the photo is 2, the day after tomorrow you post 2 on the window, and see the photo 3, the day after tomorrow if you post on the window If you get 5, then what you saw the day before should be 5 instead of 3. This is not true. Because the camera can only output what happened the next day. If you want to post 5 today, you must see 5 last night. If you make different choices, different choices will only produce a new parallel time and space, and the causes and consequences will change. You who make changes and you who remind you to make changes are in two different time and space. Finn said after drawing the coil: This isn't... possible. I was always going to paint this? We haven't changed anything. He was shocked to experience so many things, nothing has changed, he still painted With this coil, just like Mr. The photo that B took this morning a week ago is the same. Nothing happened a week ago, but the photos have revealed the results a week later. They think they have made various choices this week and their lives have changed drastically, but the result is still the same as the predictions made a week ago, so everything is set, no matter what you do, you will be. Nothing will change if you do, and the future will be what it is. The camera only captures images at a certain moment. They only perform actions at these specific moments according to the original preset, but there are no templates at other moments, which means that he thinks they have actually changed and are not synchronized with the future, but The future has happened as it was, so the future cannot be changed. And what has happened cannot be changed. When Finn said he was going to destroy the machine, Callie said that as long as she put a note on the window tonight, she would know how to stop Finn the night before, then none of this would happen. At this time, it is obvious that the heroine has completely lost his reason, and the hero is already in a mess, and he doesn't know what it is, so he didn't argue with the heroine. Obviously the hostess is wrong. If she posted a note telling her how to stop Finn last night, she would have stopped Finn now, and all this will not happen, but all this has already happened, then It shows that she did not succeed in reminding herself. Just like the ending, the note fell off. Because the past cannot be changed. What has happened is what has happened. After the heroine shot, Finn's blood sprayed onto the window, just like in the morning photo taken a week ago. So the future cannot be changed, and the past cannot be changed. You can only control the present. But the protagonists who got stuck deeper and deeper, step by step set fire to themselves because of greed and desire. Is the camera causing this result? Yes. Is the camera affecting this result? not at all. After all, this film is still talking about human nature. The camera is just a recording instrument, and it can't control anything. The things in the photos are destined to happen. There are thousands of possibilities for one thing, but there is only one possibility in one time and space, and the other possibilities can only exist in other time and space. It is impossible for one time and space to have two states at the same time, so each time and space are in accordance with the established schedule. The route is going. To change, yes, the result of the change will appear in other time and space. What happens in your time and space is what happens, and what happens will happen, and it will not change. Let's talk about the different interpretations of this film in several comments. 1. "So, in fact, the future can be changed, what happened in the past can be changed, so The heroine is to summarize the failures of each day before 8 o’clock in the morning after things happen every day, and then post keywords to remind myself of the previous day before 8 o’clock in the morning, so that the previous day’s self can make up for the mistakes. , Change the timeline. "(Quoted from jacky) Callie confessed to Finn at 93 minutes of the movie that the photo she found when she first went to Mr.B's house was a photo taken at 8 o'clock in the morning. The photos during the week and the day are hidden. "So she did, and every day after that, she followed the photos to do it. She was not summing up the experience, she was just following the prompts. What she and the male protagonists did was the same. Change the timeline. What has happened cannot be changed. If the note is successfully posted, she should have prevented these things from happening yesterday, and a new result should be produced, but how can she replace the one who killed her boyfriend? She who didn’t kill her boyfriend? She can’t pass through, so she can’t change what has happened. Callie who made the change and Callie who reminded her to make the change are in two different time and space. 2. Someone said the last There are bugs in three photos in one day. On the last day, there is a photo taken by Mr. B a week ago on the last morning (the coil is painted with blood on the hat), and the other photo is the photo printed at 8 o'clock in the evening (the cordon). Coil blood hat), the heroine used an old photo at 8 o'clock in the evening (in front of the window with Jasper) to lie to the heroes that it was a photo printed the previous night, and there was no bug. 3. According to the plot, it was eight in the morning of the day Click to take one, and take one at 8 o'clock in the evening. Then the photo at 8 o'clock in the morning was already taken when the heroine was caught by the male lead that morning. Why did the camera still take one after being caught by the police? ( (Quoted from not explaining) Mr.B pre-photographed a scene from the end of the day a week ago, but that time was not at 8 o'clock, but after 8 o'clock, the principle of the camera is always to have both the shooting action and the output action. The action is formed only by "imaging first, and then" taking pictures. Although Mr.B got a picture of the (coil drawing blood on the hat) a week ago, the filming action must take place on the same day, so after 8 o'clock at the end, I took it once because I output a photo of this moment a week ago. So there is no contradiction. But the heroine stood by the sticker at the window at this moment, indicating that she knew she would take a photo at this time. How would she know? B got the picture of (coil painted with blood on the hat), but the shooting action was to take place on the same day, so I took it again after 8 o'clock at the end, because a picture of this moment was output a week ago. So there is no contradiction. But at this moment, the heroine is standing in front of the window with a sticker, indicating that she knows that she will take pictures at this time. How would she know?

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.
