already predestined

"JACKET" and "The Butterfly Effect" both changed the future.
"Butterfly Effect" focuses more on expressing the helplessness and uncontrollability of fate. And "JACKET" expresses that fate is already doomed. In the ending part, the protagonist slips and falls to his death after delivering the letter. This is fate. It is indeed necessary for him to change a future. If he does not deliver the letter, he may not die in 1993. But the script has already been written, and everyone just acts according to the script. It's just that the future he finally changed in 1993 was not the future he had been to before. That is to say, there are multiple futures, which are parallel universe views. In the dark, the protagonist shuttles back and forth in space according to the arrangement of fate, thinking that he has helped the cute little girl. But she didn't know that in another dimension, she, who had a hard life, was still waiting for his return.
Everything is God's will.

    The editing is so messy, the whole story is messy, not at all suspenseful, and the pace is slow. Only the protagonist sees

    Very temperamental time-travel drama

The Jacket quotes

  • Dr. Thomas Becker: You can't break something that's already broken.

  • Dr. Lorenson: How are we doing today?

    Rudy Mackenzie: For me... that is a really difficult question Dr. Laurenson, because the world around me is *shrinking*... and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are comin' to see me today, and they're not bringing flowers which... just makes it real difficult to get organized.
