It’s strange that the future and the past can be changed, do not overthink the story.

After reading everyone’s evaluation of this film, about whether the protagonist has changed the polarization of reality with the help of the machine, I want to say that those who say that the protagonist changes the past according to the future, I want to ask, where do you see that there has been a change? ? I feel that the one who can be changed is just as crazy as the heroine.

First of all, there is a view that in order to make money, the pigs' feet were spoiled with yesterday's horse betting results, so they changed the past with the help of the future. That's nonsense. The future develops from the past. The protagonists have not done anything different from the photo since they received the first photo. Whether it's eight o'clock in the evening or eight o'clock in the morning, they all Reproduced exactly what happened in the photo. On two occasions in the film, the protagonists really tried to change the reality and did not follow the picture.

For the first time, the male protagonist thinks that he has changed the future. He thought that the picture that night was his female ticket and the male second ooxx, and the male second died. Then he thought that he had taken Mr.B's key to open the door of the storage room and escaped, so he had to draw a picture of the lamp to ensure that Mr.B could see it and went to the storage room so that he could get the key in the past. From the rescue, at this moment, he thought the future had changed, but when he was painting, he suddenly found that the painting was exactly the same as the one in the photo. He said to himself: I was always going to paint this? We haven't changed anything. So the result Although the male protagonist did not deliberately copy the future, he still drew exactly the same picture. The future did not deviate from the trajectory. The screenwriter had already told us clearly through the male protagonist's mouth. He thought that the change was only because of being replaced by a female vote. The picture was playing tricks, so he realized that his hair hadn't changed, and he began to doubt the heroine.

The second time, the heroine thought she could change the past. Previously, starting from the first time she discovered the photos at 8 am, she only followed the photos every day, not by prompting yesterday's self to change the past, but only guiding yesterday's self towards the established future. Only this time, she felt that today's self could pass on to yesterday's self do not get caught at windows, and then conceal the protagonist from living together happily, so she was crazy enough to kill the protagonist. The question is, if this message is successfully seen by yesterday's self, will the male protagonist still die today? Could it be that at the end of two minutes there will be a parallel space for the first time in the whole film, can the male lead die here and live in other spaces? Of course not, there is no loophole in the story, big joe appeared, the paper fell down, she had no time to stop, the photo she received today is exactly the same as the photo she received yesterday. The one in the future is also the same as it was destined. Their room has become an empty crime scene filled with seals.

So in fact, looking at the whole film, Mr. B will die, they will find the machine, will win a sack of money, will kill and kill each other, all of this is a circle that is bound to end and is destined to happen early in the morning. , It’s not about the parallel space, and there has never been any change, so friends, do not overthink the story.

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.
