Infinite loop

A freighter accidentally exploded, and Agent Doug was ordered to investigate. However, when he arrived at the scene, he found that it was clearly his first time to this place, but he was very familiar with the scene in front of him. After careful investigation, Doug discovered that the explosion had an inseparable relationship with him.

Starting from a crime investigation, the plot is gradually covered with traces of returning to the past based on the depth of the investigation, but this is not an endless loop. The film was made 10 years ago. Although there are some loopholes in the plot, it is still very exciting. It suddenly changed from a criminal investigation film to a science fiction film in about 20 minutes. After that, it brought several "I wipe it out like this" to the audience.

The ending is a bit vulgar, understandable, after all, the same-themed movies in recent years are still the same routine.

Deja Vu quotes

  • Agent Pryzwarra: It's a brand new program. It's called Snow White. Our primary data comes from seven orbiting satellites but at any given time as many as four are surveilling one area. It's like having multiple eyewitnesses, each with their own vantage point.

    Doug Carlin: Snow White...

    [pauses to watch video]

    Doug Carlin: ... but which one of the seven dwarves can explain to me how you get the audio?

  • Doug Carlin: [watching Pryzwarra write the note] ... 2 L's. Surveilling, 2 L's.

    Denny: [sarcastic laugh] ... since this is such a tremendous waste of taxpayer money, the least we could do is get the spelling right.

    Shanti: That's not necessarily true. Branching Universe Theory holds you can do...

    Denny: Ohhh... Branching... Universe... Theory... ohhh, no no no.

    Shanti: Alright, I'll show you. The traditional view of time is linear, like a river, flowing from the past towards the future.

    Doug Carlin: But you can change the course of a river, right?

    Shanti: Exactly. Introduce a significant enough event at any point in this river and you create a new branch, still flowing toward the future, but along a different route. Changed.

    Denny: Yeah, but that river is the Mississippi and we're lobbing what amounts to a pebble into it. That's a very few tiny ripples in a kind of big body of water, don't you think?

    Shanti: Traditionalist.

    Agent Pryzwarra: Say we do create this new branch. What happens to the old one to this one?

    Denny: [referring to Shanti] ... Ask the radical!

    Shanti: Well, it might continue parallel to the new branch. Most likely, it ceases to exist.

    Denny: The idea is we cease to exist, alright? Or this version of us, anyway. Umm, we never came here, we didn't meet Doug, we don't remember it ever happening.

    Agent Pryzwarra: Well, that's worth 10 billion right there.
