Another variant of the butterfly effect

The overall idea is somewhat similar to "Butterfly Effect". Go back to the past and change your destiny, but the ending is a little bit happy than the Butterfly Effect.

The overall structure is simpler than that of "Butterfly Effect". The first two thirds are asking the audience to sit in front of the sci-fi screen to watch the life documentary. The last one third only enters the climax stage, and the protagonist sacrifices himself to change the past.

Generally speaking, the story is relatively old-fashioned. When the protagonist arrives at the secret base and sees the huge disc behind him, he already knows that it is a story about a time tunnel. Later, it was a bit new when it became a satellite holographic monitor, but after returning to the old routine of the time tunnel, it became boring again.

The film gives the impression deeper dialogue is the phrase:
Claire Kuchever: the What IF you HAD to Tell someone at The MOST Important Thing in at The world, But you Knew They'd Never Believe you?
Doug Carlin:. The I'd the try

if It's me, and I will try it too.

Deja Vu quotes

  • Agent Pryzwarra: It's a brand new program. It's called Snow White. Our primary data comes from seven orbiting satellites but at any given time as many as four are surveilling one area. It's like having multiple eyewitnesses, each with their own vantage point.

    Doug Carlin: Snow White...

    [pauses to watch video]

    Doug Carlin: ... but which one of the seven dwarves can explain to me how you get the audio?

  • Doug Carlin: [watching Pryzwarra write the note] ... 2 L's. Surveilling, 2 L's.

    Denny: [sarcastic laugh] ... since this is such a tremendous waste of taxpayer money, the least we could do is get the spelling right.

    Shanti: That's not necessarily true. Branching Universe Theory holds you can do...

    Denny: Ohhh... Branching... Universe... Theory... ohhh, no no no.

    Shanti: Alright, I'll show you. The traditional view of time is linear, like a river, flowing from the past towards the future.

    Doug Carlin: But you can change the course of a river, right?

    Shanti: Exactly. Introduce a significant enough event at any point in this river and you create a new branch, still flowing toward the future, but along a different route. Changed.

    Denny: Yeah, but that river is the Mississippi and we're lobbing what amounts to a pebble into it. That's a very few tiny ripples in a kind of big body of water, don't you think?

    Shanti: Traditionalist.

    Agent Pryzwarra: Say we do create this new branch. What happens to the old one to this one?

    Denny: [referring to Shanti] ... Ask the radical!

    Shanti: Well, it might continue parallel to the new branch. Most likely, it ceases to exist.

    Denny: The idea is we cease to exist, alright? Or this version of us, anyway. Umm, we never came here, we didn't meet Doug, we don't remember it ever happening.

    Agent Pryzwarra: Well, that's worth 10 billion right there.
