If Wang Sicong's memory suddenly completely replaces your memory, do you think the person after the memory replacement is called Wang Jianlin's father or your father? If you want to understand this, then the science fiction and plot logic of this movie are easy to understand. The picture above (made by the brush, let's deal with it):
Let’s talk about the plot first, then explain why:
1. At time point 1 (the starting point of the butterfly effect) and time point 3 (the trigger point of the butterfly effect), the teenage male protagonist 1 and the adult female protagonist 1 established a connection because of lightning, and the adult female protagonist successfully prevented the young male protagonist from dying. Adult heroine 1 disappears. (Without this butterfly effect, the teenage male protagonist 1 would be killed by a car at time 6, and there would be no adult male protagonist 1.)
2. The first butterfly effect occurred at time point 1. After that, the young male protagonist should be understood as the young male protagonist 2. He did the following things; reported the neighbor's failure to kill his wife; waited for the heroine at the station (this heroine is an adult heroine 2 who grew up from Timeline 2), and fell in love until marriage. He became a policeman himself. He asked his mother to tell the writer a "sci-fi story", he was convinced that something might happen to the heroine when he reached time 3, but he was not sure what would happen (because he had no way of knowing whether he was married to the heroine 1 or the woman) Lord 2); he may even hope that by the time point 3, the old case of the year can be solved. The heroine 2 didn't know anything until time point 3 was reached.
3. At the same time when the first butterfly effect occurred, on the side of heroine 1, heroine 1 and everything were annihilated, turning from time point 1 and entering timeline 2, only the memory of heroine 1 became a transcendent existence ( This is the story setting, no need to ponder), and then when Timeline 2 develops to Time Point 3, the memory of Heroine 1 replaces the memory of Heroine 2 who grew up from Timeline 2. (It should be noted that the "real-time progress" is the memory of the heroine 1, so for the heroine 1, the body of the heroine 2 is instantly invaded.) As shown in the figure, the heroine 2 with memory 1 naturally thinks of herself at first. It is the heroine 1, so she wants to get back the life of the timeline 1 (actually she can't get it back), after all kinds of attempts, she admits the reality, but she doesn't accept it, so she still wants to be with the old boy hero One more contact, another butterfly effect.
But at this time, neither the female protagonist 1+2 mixture nor the adult male protagonist 2 can be determined. If it happens again, in the new timeline, how can we ensure that all events are consistent with the timeline 1 (actually the memory of the female protagonist 1). However, the female protagonist 1+2 hybrid still decided to take a risk and committed suicide by jumping off the building at time point 4, forcing the male protagonist 2. Timeline 2 continues until time point 5.
4. Time point 5 is the time when the adult male protagonist 2 establishes a relationship with the young male protagonist 2, and time point 2 is the starting point of the second butterfly effect. For the teenage male protagonist, he changed from the teenage male protagonist 2 to a teenager. Male protagonist 3, timeline 2 stops at time point 2, and everything after that is annihilated. Only the memory of the heroine's 1+2 hybrid is an existence that transcends everything (dead and dead).
The young male protagonist 3, according to the agreement with the adult male protagonist 2, did some things on the timeline 3, and tried to ensure that the events in the timeline 3 that did not exist are highly consistent with the events in the timeline 1 (guarantee the female protagonist). Related events, do not guarantee other, such as himself), to ensure that after the memory of the adult heroine 3 is replaced with the memory of the adult heroine 1+2 hybrid, it can be satisfied with the degree of agreement with the original memory of the heroine 3. In fact, at this time The heroine has become a mixture of memory 1, memory 3 and adult heroine 3 bodies in the picture. (This heroine hybrid has a memory gap, because she died at time 4 and was replaced at time 5. This time it was not synchronized, but it doesn't matter, it is still a moment for the heroine. Memory determines the relationship between time and time. Perception, without remembering this passage, she did not perceive.)
Because of memory, as soon as the final hybrid female protagonist was born, she immediately knew that it was the male protagonist 2 who rescued her (let her be revived). So her most urgent thing is to verify the result of the second butterfly effect, she sees her "own" daughter. Then she went to find matches and divorced her husband. Then she went to dig up the corpse of the neighbor's ex-wife, because she knew that the adult male protagonist 3, who grew up with the teenage male protagonist 3, just avoided looking for her to marry her, and the rest may not have changed, so she met the adult male protagonist 3. (The male protagonist 2 did not replace the memory of the male protagonist 3 at the time point 5, and the male protagonist 3 only had two memories of contacting the future. The movie does not set the male protagonist to have the protagonist halo. This is not to be discussed. If you have any doubts, you can discuss it. .) The plot of the movie ends here.
5. The plot that follows is probably the final mix of the female protagonist explaining to the adult male protagonist 3 why I rescued you when you were a teenager, and then asked the adult you to tell you not to look for me, because I have to deal with the scumbag. Married, gave birth to a daughter, and now, I didn’t expect a scumbag or a scumbag, and it’s true that I’m still cheating, then, I don’t want to continue the life after Timeline 1, I want to live according to the blueprint of Timeline 2, I just don’t know, I Now, do you still want this second-hand one owned and one hanged? Then the adult male protagonist 3 said: Although I haven't experienced the timeline 2 you mentioned, you seem to be very exciting, and although I decided to stay away from you, I still really want to meet you in my heart... , open the room.

Explanation 1: Why does the author believe that it is just memory "traveling"? Because if you bring your body, there will be two selves, which is not reflected in the play at all.
Explanation 2: Why not return to Timeline 1? The sci-fi setting used in this play is the butterfly effect, not a parallel world. The butterfly effect does not appear to have two coexisting trends, it just means that the cause changes and the effect changes and cannot be expected.
Explanation 3: Why is only the heroine's memory "traversing"? This is the basic setting of the story, and the screenwriter does not need to explain it. The audience does not need to scrutinize, otherwise the story will not be there. Of course, one or more people can also be set, and that is another story.
Interpretation 4: You said that there is no time-travel, so is memory time-travel not time-travel? I’m just for the convenience of description. In essence, as I said at the beginning of this article, memory determines who you are. This is the same as those sci-fi settings of “memory implantation, memory occupation”, but with a different implantation and occupation. method. (The story of the butterfly effect requires a feedback before it can be told.)
Explanation 5: Why can't parallel worlds be used to explain the plot? This parallel world theory that relies on time fork is a very nonsense science-fiction theory. You can never prove its existence, so it is meaningless. Once you can prove it, it means that the two parallel worlds have established a connection, then It has become a world, and there is no parallel. So, parallel worlds either don't exist or they don't make sense. The use of this sci-fi setting is not mentioned or implied in the plot. "Relative World", the American TV series, also known as the mirror world, avoids this kind of "pulling" and does not use the word "parallel".
Explanation 6: How many times has the butterfly effect occurred? Twice, not once. It can be seen from the plot that after knowing the role of the TV, the male protagonist 2 went to prove it and gave up halfway. And the time of the young male protagonist corresponding to this time period is after time point 1 (the first butterfly effect). He's been waiting to see if there will be a future connection again. It can be seen from this that the adult male protagonist 2 and then contact the teenage male protagonist cannot move the time point 2 to the time point 1. During thunder and lightning, the past and future time pass synchronously.
Explanation 7: How to explain the adult male protagonist 3 saying "Do we know each other"? From the time he arrived at the corpse scene, the assistant pushed the assistant away after knowing that it was a woman. It can be seen that the male protagonist 3 began to guess that this woman might be "which woman will contact him in the future". As soon as we met, he recognized it, but he didn't know whether this woman was the heroine 3 or the heroine 1 who was replaced by memory. He didn't even know that the memory of the heroine 1 could replace the memory of the heroine 3, so he did not Dare to admit it (If the male lead 2 told him to stay away from the female lead forever, he would definitely not dare to recognize it. If the male lead 2 told him that at least time point 5 could be contacted, then he would hesitate at this time). His question and the heroine's answer made him suddenly realize one thing: the heroine 3 was replaced by memory, and whether he could contact this new heroine or not would have to be re-determined by the new heroine.
When the female protagonist said "You just haven't remembered it yet", it meant their marriage and all the events in Timeline 2, not that the male protagonist 3 did not remember that they had contacted. This also clarifies the purpose of the female protagonist to find the male protagonist, as well as the sublimation of the final theme of the movie-hoping to continue the life after the time line 2.
Personal understanding, welcome to discuss. I saw a lot of people discussing in the discussion area, and I couldn't help registering an account. It was the first time I wrote a "movie review". The writing was limited, and the language organization ability was limited. If you don't understand it, ask.

When I'm bored, add some content about the heroine's choice of a daughter to give up the hero. (3.31)
I think this choice is justifiable and normal.
Leaving aside the plot, let’s take a similar example: a woman with a lovely daughter and a husband who just found out about cheating. Then, a good man said, give up everything, we will be happy together. Then, this woman is scum when she chooses a good man to give up her daughter. A human-friendly choice is naturally to give up the original husband, but to have a daughter, only after this choice is realized, will an excellent man be considered.
How is this example different from the plot? 1. The daughter has disappeared completely, but there is a chance to get it back. 2. The heroine has no feeling for the "happiness" that the hero said. She is not a simple heroine 2, but a mixture of 1+2, but the essence is determined by memory, and she is essentially heroine 1. Therefore, it is normal for the heroine 1 to choose to find her daughter, and the choice of the male lead is scum.

Supplementary point content (4.1)
Many people single out a timeline analysis and say that there is a grandfather paradox problem.
Well, I think it is this: any routine of returning to the past has this paradox. Every Butterfly Effect story is within the controllable range defined by the editor and only affects the one you want to affect. But to be more serious, it is not controllable at all, and no one knows the scope of the butterfly effect. It's like the first time the heroine saved the hero. She thought it only affected the hero, but she lost the "effect" of her life. This is "uncontrollable" from her perspective. Then let's expand and see that this story can't be told at all, no matter how you deal with it, you can't say that the person who will give feedback in the future will not be "effected", as long as any person who is in the moment after the butterfly effect There is no absolute reason for things not to disappear.
So, this is the setting of storytelling (there must be a detached existence), there is no need to treat this as a bug.
Another, some people think that adding a parallel space setting can avoid this problem. However it didn't. According to the analysis of parallel space: Female 1 saves the male protagonist. The result is reflected in the new time and space. She can't feel that in her time and space, the male protagonist is still killed by a car. So what's the point of a story like this?
Then, we added the "brain-piercing" setting, she brain-pierced to a new time and space, and felt her own achievements, but this new time and space had nothing to do with her, and she couldn't go back. So, what motive does she have to save the male lead? Such a story is obviously unreasonable and unreadable.
Finally, if it is a parallel space, according to this theory, it will happen as long as it is possible, then the moment the neighbor kills his wife, there will be two space-times: one is the male protagonist who sees it and dies; the other is the male protagonist who did not go. See, have been alive. So, why does the female lead have to save the male lead once? She just needs to think that the boy is still alive in another time and space, isn't it enough? If you have to kill yourself and save it again, you will be unable to go back with one more time and space? Not even the least motive. That is, no such story exists.
For a story, bugs that can be corrected are called bugs, and bugs that cannot be corrected can be called anything, but they shouldn’t be called bugs anyway. If you don't believe me, you can try to fix this problem. Whoever can fix it is powerful.
