God made! The director must also be a quantum theory lover!

If nothing else, just the idea that consciousness can affect reality and thus materialize it is enough to give this film 4 points, and the other point is for special effects (that was 37 years ago!! In 1980, it was said that special effects were not good. Look for the works of the same period), there is a very famous experiment in quantum theory: Schrödinger's cat, which probably means that consciousness affects matter, and consciousness determines matter.
In the film, the male protagonist has various hallucinations after taking drugs, and finally can affect the reality. Isn't this a good artistic expression of quantum theory! So this film is not a pure fantasy film, a thriller! It's a science fiction movie! And it's hard science fiction! ! For those who don't understand, I just want to say to supplement the knowledge of quantum theory. I recommend two books "Does God Play Dice?" " and "The Shape of Time"
after reading these two books, you will have a new understanding when you watch this film again! (PS: Quantum theory was very mature in 1980)
