The most annoying thing is that the chairman still didn't appear in the end, and the long-awaited heart was suffocated to the point of internal injury...
With the change of the subject matter, the theme of the whole film also felt a little fluctuating. From the initial search for missed love to the moral dilemma faced by the male protagonist after the appearance of Hammer, the pursuit of love or the fulfillment of dreams; from insisting on true love against fate to finally revealing the theme: the importance of free will.
If the theme of the whole film is about the importance of free will, it is probably a bit stray... Fortunately, the ending point is self-explanatory.
Although the overall plot is very innovative and there are many interesting ideas, it is either passing the ideas hastily or pulling the overall story away from the main line. The overall feeling is still very thin and hurried, and many places give people the feeling that the plot is not very rigorous, and some settings may not stand up to scrutiny. The director opened a too large net, but the result was only comprehensive without going into any topic. At first, you thought the road turned into a branch, and then you found that this was the main line, and walked along this road again; after a few steps, it was another branch, and continued to walk; at the end, you fainted. The identity issue of "bereau" and "president", which was originally the only compass, was thinking about what the director had to explain anyway, the ultimate answer and the ultimate boss, but at the end, he was taken with a single shot. Who is the chairman? Anyone could be (is there a bloodier answer than this...) and it doesn't matter. The important thing is free will, to have free will. If there are a few more people like you who have free will (or just love your girlfriend?), you may one day be able to take over your own destiny without our planning. Beautiful vision.
But in retrospect, this is a somewhat paradoxical explanation. When Hammer tried to persuade the male protagonist to give up his girlfriend, he said that the era of progress in human history was planned by them, and they screwed up when they were handed over to human beings. The screwed-up era included the Middle Ages and two world wars and the Cold War, and they didn't have to take over until the Cuban Missile Crisis. If he is telling the truth, does the implication mean that free human beings will screw themselves up? Unless the director thinks that people in these "screwed" times have free decision-making power but no free will to cause this kind of tragedy, that's another question that's unclear... Not to mention, the times they planned, those The so-called golden age in human history is an era when free will was relatively high. The era before the fall of Rome, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, were all times when people began to recognize and value free will. So what are these? Free will under plan? It's very contradictory...
Although there are some problems with this movie that I can see, I still think it's an interesting movie. Anyway, some movies you will like even if they are not perfect, and some perfect masterpieces you will not feel.
I really liked the scene where Matt Damon walked through the doors. It's very cool to watch, and it also creates a feeling of leaving everything behind and fleeing. As soon as the door opens, it is another world.
Matt Damon is really very picky, and he likes him more and more.

A lot of the stalks of this movie are too familiar: In "A Dream of Red Mansions", the Secretary of Boming records everyone's fate book (but the name of the book is not called Jinling Twelve Hairpins. ...the booklet has also been upgraded, and what appears to be a book is actually a foldable LED 80% or a touch screen...), the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries in HP (circular hall, wooden doors, people who don't know anything), doors in HP Keys (literally door keys this time, and physical contact or something). Butterfly effect (what ripple effect, doesn't it feel like the same thing? If you change the name, the audience won't recognize it?), Howl's Moving Castle (doors to different places or something)
