ways : the male protagonist accidentally gained the ability to change the world due to the situation. But he didn't want to rule the world and do whatever he wanted. The starting point of using one's own ability, no matter the result is good or bad, is just to be with your lover, realize her dream, and give her a perfect life. In the end, they all succumbed, sacrificed, or looked at each other in a sea of people, met and forgot each other, or disappeared, only living in the drop of water.
So both can be regarded as romance films in sci-fi coats.
At this point, I guess the audience who gave the low score is mainly because the expectation gap is too big: watching a Transformers-type sci-fi film, when encountering such a slow-paced and eloquent pure love film, they should all want to scold the mother. of.
The difference is that in the butterfly effect, he succumbed to the fate of not being able to be together. In order for her to live, he sacrificed the idea of being with her/directly chose to end his own life (depending on the version of the ending). What makes him succumb in this film is not fate, but the complexity and diversity of human beings.
Why complex and diverse? I can't go into details, but I can only use an analogy: if a god is reincarnated in this world, he not only possesses the power of God, but also has feelings for loving the world. He still cannot escape the ending of being suspected, cursed, and executed by the humans he loves.
Quoting his sigh "People fear what they don't understand" in the background of the film.
At this point, the meaning of the film is sublimated.
In a quote from another sci-fi movie "A Person Is Smart; People Are Dumb".
Seeing all kinds of anti-intellectual social phenomena, I am very sad: human beings have developed for thousands of years, and they are about to have technology that is close to God, but the level of wisdom is not the same as when Jesus was nailed to the cross. the difference.
Of course there is beauty in complexity and variety, but I'm afraid it has nothing to do with this film.
