Someone must take the pain

After reading the previous film reviews about the "Butterfly Effect", it is not difficult to find that many people have this point of view for this film: that people cannot change their destiny, even if you have the ability to go back to the past to change history, but you Often the result is not known but it is still full of flaws. And now I want to extract a side of it from this big point of view and talk about my own feelings.
Kevin has to look through the diary many times and go back to the past to make changes, because he saw pain in reality. This pain is either in his friend Tommy and Lanny; or in his lover Kelly; or in his relative mother ; Or on himself. These pains made Tommy become a violent maniac, and Lenny suffered from autism and full of hatred; made Kaili difficult to suppress suicide and became self-abuse; made her mother addicted to smoking and suffered from lung cancer; made Kevin fear, guilt, compassion, heartbreak, despair and helplessness! In the adaptation and cycle of history, there is no perfect ending that can completely escape the pain. While happiness is enjoyed by some people, there are always other people who are bearing all kinds of pain. No one escapes! Through this side, the weakness of the person is shown vividly and horribly. Pain exists in reality, and the director tells us the imperfections of life in a true manner. Compared with the illusory time and space rewriting history that ordinary people cannot reach, it can reveal the truth of life for people in a compelling situation: Someone must take the pain.
However, this is not negative. However, the director uses seemingly negative means step by step to uncover some of the veils that have blinded you or that you have never touched, so that you can see the profound enlightenment behind the veil. However, the form in which this will ultimately be reflected varies from audience to audience. I think this is the positive that the negative tells us. When you agree that pain must exist and accept this fact, injury is no longer a big thing that makes you cry and complain about yourself and others. Someone will always bear it, but who will bear it. This can be changed, but no matter who it is, someone will eventually have to bear it. So we no longer complain easily, and we can even bear it silently and forget it deliberately. Kevin did not hesitate to decide to destroy all the diary photos, his helplessness, but what I see is his deliberately forgotten determination and courage to bear the pain, this is certainly his most bleak result, but he did not escape again Because he also understands that suffering is an ironclad fact after all, because the great dialectical philosophy does not deceive people. When there is happiness, there is pain, and when there is sin, there is salvation.
The unknown controls the entire world. We are always afraid because of the unknown and forbearing and busy and paying. Pain is also a passer-by here.

    The movie I watched many years ago was shocking! Going back to the past and changing the choice, will it be better?
