If a person has the ability to constantly go back to the past and change history, but finally finds that each change can only make things worse, and finally has to choose the moment before his birth, strangle himself in the womb, is this a A completely tragic life?

When I watched the first half of the Butterfly Effect, I remembered many movies with similar themes, such as "Back to the Future", "Radio Frequency", Grim Reaper, Twins Meilinda, and even some hilarious "Secrets That Cannot Be Telled" in terms of technology. etc. But at the lower part, I found that I was moved. At the end I looked at the hanging baby in the womb. This person has since disappeared and the world is "peaceful".

Perhaps the paradox cannot come into this world, even if it is a person. Although I knew this, I couldn't help being very sad in the end.

The theme of this film is not hard science fiction at all. It is not about a certain mental illness, but about love. To love, to change history, even to prevent myself from coming into this world.

The only regret is that when I thought I was breaking my hand, although my beloved and my good friend were together, thank God, all my friends are good, no one suffered bad luck, except for his mother, because he went back to the past to explode. Severing hands and smoking all year round can lead to lung cancer.

Originally I thought it was worthless for him to go back for his mother this time. Later, he made a big mistake in the next rewriting of history. The beloved girl was blown up, and he became a mental patient. But later I found out that the most important thing was to go back this time. Can express the problem of the paradox, because the mother is the closest person, and it will be the same for me, without careful consideration, weighing the gains and losses, even if it causes devastating consequences.

Except for the hard science fiction that can't stand scrutiny (for example, it didn't explain why her father and grandfather had this ability, and this ability, or the principle and source of the curse), the movie successfully showed the core of his performance. meaning. If there is a God who can change mankind, then this God must have no relatives or favors, because he must not be able to change the fate of people because of his own emotional impulse. A person who does not have precise calculation ability and cannot predict the butterfly effect caused by every change in the past behavior, after obtaining this kind of time-retrospective ability, I am afraid that it will only mess things up.

Zhou Dedong wrote a reasoning of dozens of lines in a horror novel. The general idea is that everything will be affected by other things, and everyone's life may be affected by people you don't even know. You love me, you don't love me, it is not a lover's simple choice. Plucking a petal and making a decision may affect the future history. Open a door and the future may be different.

If we could all rewrite our lives, what would this world be like? Does everyone get what they want?

Will not.

So cherish the moment and live in the moment. There is no life doomed to tragedy, only you can grasp this moment. Every experience of my past, tell me this way. No matter what situation you encounter, cherish your life. Beautiful flowers can bloom in decay, be grateful at all times in peace, vent in time when hurt, and forget in time.

Remember, good people also suffer misfortune.

PS: Application of the butterfly effect: It is impossible for him to predict the consequences every time he goes back. This is the fundamental problem. It is impossible for him to know from which point it is most appropriate to go back and change history, because humans are not supercomputers, and cannot calculate the butterfly effect caused by every point change. After making up for a mistake, what other consequences will be caused, save After one person, who else will fall into what kind of fate, in the final analysis, this is the meaning of the title of the article. There is no perfect history of everyone's joy. Even if a person can go back in time, it cannot solve the problems of the entire world, even if it's just his personal surroundings.
