There are many fragments, they have become part of the memory, we will try our best to forget these fragments, just because we can not go back to that moment and change them. If this possibility is given to me, let me go back to the old crossroads, if I can at that moment know in advance the result of a certain choice that I don’t want to happen, let me stop and turn to another Take a step in the direction, will my history be more perfect?
This movie not only assumed this possibility, but also tried to give an unexpected answer:
Yes, if the butterfly did not fly away at that moment, but only fluttered its wings, in the chain of time At the end, there will be an extra hurricane out of thin air, and worse, no one knows where the wind is blowing.
When everything is unknown, we can only comfort ourselves to assume that the world we have actually experienced and participated in the change is the best result so far. Of course, if you think it is the worst, you will feel more comfortable. Also listen to respect. There is an assumption, that is, the assumption provided in the film, which is probably the most frustrating one I can think of. That is, changing any link in history will result in an unforeseen event. (There are only two exceptions in the film, namely, the protagonist went back in time to get the cooperation of his prison roommates, wounded his hand with a nail, and took up a knife in order to destroy a historical bomb. After this time, the protagonist has returned to the established time and space, not only did not bring about major catastrophic changes, but even benefited from it). Parole You have the ability to see the beauty of a world without yourself (as in the last three minutes of the film). You have to feel deeply lost when you change to who you are.
The protagonist’s misfortune is inherited in the family, but this seemingly endless misfortune is finally over due to the progress of the times. It is possible to record the birth process of the baby with images. Even if this life is not dead, it is expected to be in After he grew up, and learned of his ability, he had to be locked up in a lunatic asylum or cut off by himself. Maybe not showing up in this world is the best ending he can think of, but even so, there is still a mother who is in pain for his early departure.
In other words, if a person has the ability to reverse history, what awaits him is either a historical disaster or his own tragedy. And there are two motivations that make the destiny of a person with this ability inevitable, namely, regret and greed-either annoyed by what you have done, or dissatisfaction with the state of life you are in, longing Change, it is these two emotions that make us have the urge to go back to the past and change history from time to time, and it is also these two emotions that distinguish us from God.
The actions of the protagonist in the movie coincide with a religious proposition. Since my existence will only bring misfortune to the world, then, if I do not go to hell, who will go to hell? The nail marks on the protagonist's hands faintly hinted at the distress of martyrs. Everyone may have a desire to go back to the past and change history at a certain moment. This is an inevitability caused by human nature. However, this wish can never be achieved, so people can exist in the world in their current state and relationship. People are busy, happy, or difficult all day long. They are looking forward to the coming of new life, but they don’t know anything about Mingming. They can only draw up answers for everything like self-comfort, and stick to it from generation to generation to hope for infinity. Reproduce endlessly and peacefully.
People exist only because they are not gods.
Attached "butterfly effect" note: the butterfly effect was proposed by Lorenz, a meteorologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1963. Once, in order to forecast the weather, he used a computer to solve 13 equations that simulate the atmosphere of the earth. In order to examine the results in more detail, he took out an intermediate solution, improved the accuracy and sent it back. But when he came back after drinking a cup of coffee, he was shocked: the original small difference, but the result has been deviated by thousands of miles! There is nothing wrong with the computer, so Lorenz believes that he has discovered a new phenomenon: "extreme instability to initial values", namely: "chaos", also known as "butterfly effect", Asian butterflies flap their wings , Will cause a tornado that is stronger than the wind in the Americas in a few months! This effect shows that the result of the development of things has a very sensitive dependence on the initial conditions, and a very small deviation of the initial conditions will cause great differences in the results. The "butterfly effect" is used in sociology to illustrate: a bad tiny mechanism, if it is not guided and adjusted in time, will cause great harm to society, jokingly called "tornado" or "storm"; a good one The tiny mechanism, as long as it is correctly guided, after a period of hard work, will have a sensational effect, or "revolution."
