Fiction 1: You are a gambler, you take your bet, sit in a smoky, suspicious casino with your voice, and start a big bet. Soon, you lose your bet, and you lose to a terrible loss. , In the most desperate moment, you suddenly discovered that you have a special function, you can turn back time, you can reshuffle the cards, and then get a brand new hand. But unfortunately, this hand made you lose again, even worse than the last time; therefore, you go back to the starting point of the gambling game again, shuffle the cards again, and lose again, this time you lose even worse. The panties are lost.
Fiction Two: Fiction Two is an upgraded version of Fiction One. Here, your role has not changed. You are still a gambler. The difference is that the bet this time is life and destiny. This is not the thug with a golden necklace in the Hong Kong gangster movie in the 1980s. When he was dead, he shouted, "I bet you 10 million with my fate." Your bet is very abstract: love, destiny, life opportunity, and you. Mother's life etc. They are very broad, very serious, and cannot tolerate you to make a desperate move like Fenghe Fenghe.
Unfortunately, you lose the bet again, but you also find that you can turn back time and reshuffle the cards. You got a new hand, but this time your luck is even worse. You lose again and you have to go back to the bet again. The starting point... In the repeated failures, you have lost everything, including hope. What should you do at this time?
I tried to use these two clumsy metaphors to summarize the connotation of the movie "Butterfly Effect". But I always seemed inconsistent. Therefore, I decided to change the course and retell the story directly-
American meteorologist Lorenzi wrote a paper in the last century called "Will a butterfly flap its wings on Dirk? Saskatchewan caused a tornado? ". He said that flapping its wings by a butterfly in the Amazon basin is likely to cause a storm in the Mississippi basin. Lorenzi named this phenomenon the "butterfly effect". This is the source of the film's title, but you must not be misled by it, and don't be imaginary of the storyline of "Butterfly Effect" as a chain game of "dominos".
In fact, "Butterfly Effect" is more capable of overturning the contingency and destiny of destiny than "Running Roller". There are many possibilities in life, but a person's life is often changed by the inadvertent details of the year, and since then he has gone to a different juncture and cannot look back. The ambition of "Butterfly Effect" is that it wants to experiment with many possibilities of life in fiction.
As a result, "Butterfly Effect" has become a "surreal fable" wandering through horror, spirituality, and magic: Evan's life is full of tragedies, and bad luck will always appear in his several childhood playmates and his life. In an accidental situation, he found that he could go back to the past by reading his diary, and put everything over again, just like shuffling his fate. There were still a few key cards, but after recombination After that, it changed completely.
However, some people will still suffer bad luck. He and his three childhood friends Kelly, Tommy, and Lenny, as well as his widowhood mother who was locked up in a psychiatric hospital because of his father. In any case, life has never been satisfactory. Every time the destiny is shuffled, there will be different bad luck. Tommy can be a child with good character and learning, or a crazy monster with weird temperament, so can Kylie. She is a girl who leaves eternal psychological trauma. She can be a prostitute and drug addict, she can also choose to commit suicide in order to avoid the tragic past. She can also grow up in the sun, but she will fall in love with others instead of him.
Evan’s own situation is also full of uncontrollable randomness. In the fate that was “corrected” by him several times, he was in turn a guilty man, a prisoner who was imprisoned for murder, a disabled man who lost his limbs, and another Questioning people who are insane...the situation is getting worse and worse.
In the end, he was desperate. He returned to the mother’s womb with the help of the “medium” of home video tape and committed suicide with an umbilical cord. Before him, his mother had been pregnant with two fetuses. In the end, he could only avoid life by committing suicide. Doomed to appear in the middle; and his father, who can also change his destiny through the album, has already gone mad.
Before online games became popular, stand-alone games were the most popular. When playing games, the "save/read" command was often repeated, which is to save the starting point of the game, so that you can replay it when you lose in the game. Start.
But life is not a game, and it cannot be re-read like a game. What if it has a special function? The circumstances of life, although there are infinite possibilities in the imaginary world, it can indeed change its course through its own efforts, but the cruel thing is that time has its terrible irreversibility, and destiny also has its irreversible destiny. .
