Injuries continue

I watched a movie today, "Thunderbolt". "I haven't watched sci-fi for many years", ..., um... It's a bit silly to say that. In fact, I was just having fun when others watched it.
After reading it for a while, I felt that such a plot was strangely familiar, as if I had read such a novel somewhere. Especially when the butterfly appeared, sci-fi stories about the butterfly effect seem to often refer to butterflies... I don't quite understand why, it's too uncreative. After reading it, I checked it online, and it turned out that it was adapted from a science fiction novel I had read, "Time Hunting", which was previously published on "Science Fiction World". Hmm, my memory doesn't seem to have deteriorated as badly as I imagined.

There are two episodes that have a deep impression on me. One is that the black man is about to be surrounded by a group of monsters (? I'm not sure what that is, maybe it's a baboon or a variant of an orangutan?), he said when he knew he was going to die. Monologue, about hometown: "...the stars are twinkling in the sky,..., I have seven sisters, all of them are very good..." I prefer paragraphs of warm dialogue interspersed in the tense plot. For example, Tom Hanks in "Saving Private Ryan" told soldiers about his home in a tower, or "Gladiator" in Maximus and Emperor (I'm not sure what the translation of this word is, Is it translated into "emperor"?) Talking about his wife and children. Someone once told me that it's called a bridge. He was standing in the snow and said to me with a smile: Hehe, you are always like this, some bridges pop up from time to time, and I am moved. I have forgotten what I told him before he said this. At that time, I asked him stupidly: What is a bridge? He laughed again and told me that the word is not very easy to explain or something. In fact, I didn't seriously check what a bridge section is later, but now that I think about it, this kind of plot is probably the so-called bridge section. This is some digression, maybe many years from now I will forget this conversation standing in the snow, but this is not what I want, I want to keep some specific and small details about the person who said this to me Fragments of memories. When I wrote this, I suddenly remembered one thing. Why are the people in these sci-fi films who were left alone because of injury and died of death are all black? I saw a similar plot in Final Fantasy before. Why must it be black people who make sacrifices? Is it because you want black people to die or because you think black people have some noble qualities? I don't quite understand the psychology of screenwriters and directors.

Another plot is that after the last time wave hit, the city was dead silent. Unlike before, nothing seemed to have changed this time. Those buildings and the virgin forest-like plants entrenched on it. Then the camera moved slowly, and the female doctor who was still operating the computer 10 seconds ago to send her companion back to ancient times to correct mistakes has mutated into a strange creature, blinking a pair of bewildered eyes at the camera. I don't quite understand, in stories like time machines changing the past or affecting evolution due to some other scientific means, mutated species are always more advanced, or at least dominant, than humans. Humans who invented time machines or other high-tech devices seem so weak and helpless in front of these mutant species. I don't quite understand, even if species evolution changes, at least the status of organisms in the entire food chain should remain the same...Sorry, maybe I'm a bit incoherent and incomprehensible, my Chinese seems to be too lacking. What I mean is that after the species mutation of the whole world, shouldn't the human beings in the highest position be still the highest after evolution? Why aren't all science fiction stories written this way? Even after the last wave of time passed, and humans finally got mutated, the result was so ugly and stupid - ugly compared to those mutated orangutans, and stupid because the slow action of this creature was used to It is too unconvincing to say that this is an intelligent creature.
Another point, the mutation should not be like this... How can it be a sudden change of time wave, it should be accumulated over the years, in other words, it should be that those who use the time machine should return to reality as soon as possible It turns out that the surrounding environment has changed a lot. Mishaps, mishaps... In order to express the shocking power of movies, science fiction novels that have been put on the silver screen are always adapted to be miserable.

The last three points, one, why are almost all science fiction films disaster films? Can't there be more beautiful and warm movies like "ET"?
2. Why are all the science fiction films based on the same material... nothing new. Even if there is an introduction that "this time the film does not describe a story of robot riots, monster attacks, aliens hurting people, etc.", it still can't escape the category I am familiar with.
3. The poster of the movie is well done... The background is good, but unfortunately the butterfly is too ugly. Even if you want to explain the butterfly effect, please, find a beautiful butterfly. The key butterfly is described in the novel as follows: "A butterfly is embedded in the mud, shining green, gold and black, extremely beautiful." Here is a small protest that no one can hear...
