The finale has nothing to do with the butterfly effect

It seems that many people judge the ending as a butterfly effect. . . Personally, I think the best part of the film is the last few minutes and the last few seconds. . . . In the end, Martin finally realized that his original sentence "you should try it" really pointed out the core idea of ​​this movie. The mathematical and philosophical logic that ran through the whole play before can be said to be the foundation of the plot, that is, the background, the deepest The point of view to be expressed can be said to be standard postmodernism, a critique of the nature of science, what we call science, liberating human beings from blind faith in the name of the pursuit of truth, and becoming a new faith itself , suppressing differences, denying differences, blind belief in the so-called "logic" leads to mandatory dependence and pursuit of logic, so, this you should try it, blindly, ignore the differences between people and things in all aspects , which led to the tragedy in the film.

Therefore, what the ending tells is not the simple butterfly effect, but the author's unique irony to criticize science. In fact, this film is not necessarily aimed at mathematics, it can be aimed at physics, chemistry, or even For the social sciences, the point is, science creates concepts, and we rely on concepts to understand things, so it's actually these so-called sciences that are "creating" reality, not "exploring" reality as people think, so there's no such thing as " "Reality", some are just endless phenomena, and there are endless differences between them. The problem lies in how we understand phenomena. Our ordinary people's judgment and recognition of "reality" is just a generalization of "science". As a result, it was doomed to tragedy. so. . . When it comes to the butterfly effect, the logic itself is the problem. . If you think that the finale is just a butterfly effect, it can be described as watching a 2-hour movie to satirize yourself. . . . .
