This is a brain-burning movie. I feel that I only understand part of it, but this part is enough to make me think about life.
The movie involves a concept-"parallel universe", which is the keynote of the movie. "There is not only a single universe, but there are countless possibilities to happen together, at the same time and forever. Everyone can think of everything. Versions continue to move forward and are in parallel reality."
The story seems quite simple. The physicist Jim invented a time machine that can use a wormhole to go back in time. He originally used a dahlia as a reference to prove that time has traveled, but he was not convinced to sponsor his boss. To take away most of his research results and make money, he is still the gold master of the woman he likes, Aibi, he entered the time machine with Hua and wanted to change the past. The problem is that what he went back was not the original past, but The past of a parallel universe.
What’s interesting about the movie is that it embodies the parallel universe and imagines it as a time and space where concrete real existence is just not intersecting with each other. What doesn’t happen in this time and space does not mean that it didn’t happen. It just performed in another parallel universe, so the male protagonist It is possible to enter the past of another parallel universe from one parallel universe. Two "Is" appear in the same space and time. In Schrödinger's law of cats, when one possibility occurs, the other possibility will collapse. In the movie, when two "me" are close, one of them will decay, just like that dahlia.
When thinking about parallel universes, what makes people think about it most is "If at the beginning..." other things would happen. The most concrete version of the movie is that everything in that parallel universe is similar to his original one, which makes people think it is the same, but the waiters in the bar are not the same, and not all occurrences are exactly the same. There are other versions that Jim is not with Aibi, or Jim and Aipi are together happily, and so on. At the end of the movie, Jim crossed to see Eppe again. In that parallel world, Eppe said that John's research had exploded and he almost invented a time machine. In the sense, it seems that going back to the same point in time in the past cannot change anything, and it seems that the same people may not necessarily have the same fate. If we don't need to go to the parallel universe, but directly make changes in the existing life like in the parallel universe, is it possible? In other words, we all have only one present version of life. Is everything predestined?
I do not think so. Before the next second arrives, we all have the right to choose a new version. We are happy, angry, upset, sad, cooking, painting, traveling, gathering, doing business, politics, education, and medicine. We can re-decide where to go next, and every current decision is again. Will affect the next decision, and all the decisions together form a version of life. So destiny is easy to see when you look upside down, just like footprints on the beach, only when you walk out, there are no traces. Looking forward, there is only an endless beach. But there is a reason for destined to say this. We have a lot of unconsciousness. You will not make a new decision every moment. On the contrary, it is often habit dominated. Think about your habit of getting up in the morning every step is the same as yesterday? Is the place to buy breakfast, the route to get off work, the time to leave work, and the pastime in the evening the same as yesterday? And last week? How about last month? Are you bothered by the same problem and angry for the same thing? If we always have the same mode of thinking, is it inevitable to lead to a certain result? Just like the male protagonist knows that he will receive a warning call from a friend with his own personality, and immediately find a friend to understand what is going on. He will steal the flower to answer his doubts. The trajectory is predictable. But such "destined" can be broken, as long as we change ourselves. Considering that there are so many possibilities in parallel universes, there is really no need for us to walk to the end in a limited life. Next time, if you don’t go to work on the same route, you may see a different scenery, and you may meet different people; next time, if you don’t go to the same breakfast shop, you may find a different taste, which may inspire a difference. The same inspiration; next time, if you are not angry with the same people, you may develop a different relationship, or you may go to a different career. Who knows? If we remember that there are so many possibilities in front of us, we might not live this life in the same way.
There are many parts of the movie that I didn't understand, and I feel there are many paradoxes. Imagine that every time the hero has to travel back in the end, then all the parallel worlds are not messed up. Jim in world a goes to the past of world b, and Jim in world b goes to world c. It is used as a booster to delay death. Finished, didn't all Jim pass away? If there is a parallel world and multiple Jimes all pass away, are they dead? And Jim in world a has disappeared, but he is alive in other worlds. Is he alive or dead? There are countless possibilities in the parallel world, that is, Jim in some parallel worlds has not crossed, and there is no such chaotic thing. Who is Aipi? He seems to be the boss's lover, but there is a notebook that records the time machine research and the encounter with Jim, and he put the notebook in his pocket before Jim is about to cross. Jim said that Aipi is a variable, but to make her a constant, the problem is that since Jim in different parallel worlds has different versions, then Aipi must also be a different version. He himself is not a constant. How can I ensure that Aipi is What about constants?
In the movie, Jim feels that he in the parallel universe is just another version of him, not the real him. What he wants to have must be his own. This is perhaps the most realistic mentality. All the versions of ourselves and all the possibilities we imagined must be realized by the self. Since there is no established life script, since the script that is performed is the final script, then, if you have a dream, let the dream come into reality.
