Feeling after watching 'Butterfly Effect 3' for the second time

The first time I didn't watch it carefully, because I read the movie review first. I think you can probably understand it by looking at it. As a result, it was only half-understood.

This time, I read it carefully, taking notes while watching.


Doubtful points:
1. How did the sister get into the car of the first dead man?

2. How did the fat man know the way to travel? (Scene: Bar)

3. Why does the fat man know that he has crossed? After my brother traveled back for the first time, there were 8 dead people. (Why is he still awake after the 'past' has been changed?) Then he is advised to go back and observe the third dead.

4. So does my sister. When he decided to go back to see the third dead man, he got angry.

5. Why did the police know about the 'Pontiac' incident in the first place? . (Scene: At the beginning of the film, after my brother's first crossing, at the police station. He said that 'Pontiac' would know how he and his wife met. The reason why it is doubtful until now is because at this time serial killings that only appeared.)

6. The last time I crossed, I didn't turn off the lights. No data, and in a semi-obscured state.

7. When her sister describes how to kill the first dead, the camera is at the door, killing. But when sam crossed back, the deceased was lying on the bed. very clean.

8. Why did he leave when he was killing the fat man? The murder weapon has no electricity? Why do factories have animal traps? Is my brother blind? I didn't see such a big thing, I stepped on it with my feet.

9. The third deceased originally died, but did not die in the end. There is no specific explanation for the reason, but it is obvious that the younger sister has crossed back again. (After she learned that her brother had listened to Fatty's advice) So how did she do it?


Summary: Science fiction movies are science fiction movies, because they are made up, so loopholes are inevitable.

Many people are entangled in these two issues:
1. Who set the fire?
2. Why does Sam's daughter smile so weirdly?

My understanding is:
1. The fire is the premise of the story, without which nothing would happen. Otherwise, the elder brother or younger sister will directly travel back to stop the arsonist, and it will be no game. So don't think too much about it!

2. The girl's smile can only show that what she knows does not necessarily have to be related to her parents' experience. There is too much room for imagination, but what is certain is that she will also travel.

    A little bit better than I thought, maybe just because the ending was good...

The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations quotes

  • Detective Dan Glenn: [to Sam] Now I'm going to tell you how it's going to happen. You're going to confess. You're going to plead insanity. I'm goin go testify myself to what a crazy motherfucker you are. Because if you keep giving me this tired-ass song and dance about trying to stop the Pontiac Killer, I'll make sure you're locked up in county with them big old boys. Now don't it just make your asshole pucker?

  • Jenna Reide: This is so Scooby-Doo, isn't it? I would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids.

    Sam Reide: You're out of your fucking mind, Jenna.

    Jenna Reide: Come on, Sam. You know that's not true. If you hadn't kept jumping back to catch me, I could've stopped. But every time you went back, there was more witnesses, there was more evidence to cover up. It's funny when you think about it. You really did create a serial killer. Ever since the day you jumped back and you saved me, I knew I'd only live for you.
