In movies that travel through time and space, if you don’t understand it, there will be technical flaws. No matter how you do it, there will be conflicts. Think about it, if you go back to the past, if you don’t pay attention, you will change the history. Isn’t it messed up. The famous "Butterfly Effect" is to use this mess and try to change the behavior of the past to make the results worse and worse. "Butterfly Effect" should be based on the theory of multiple time and space. If you go forward in any point of time and space, there may be countless time and space. It depends on how you choose, and all you can experience is this time and space you have traveled through. If you travel back to change one point in the past, you will turn to another time and space.
"Time traveler's wife" simplifies time and space, so as not to confuse the unwise. Basically, he is playing with his own time and space alone. He disrupts time and space, does not change history, but just goes back to the past in time, and travels somewhere without knowing. Then he must return to his original time and space. He does not have two parallel space-times. His time and space seemed to be doomed. Nothing has to be changed, otherwise, it will not be right.
Technically speaking, the confusion of time and space travel is simplified, so that people can focus more on the story. That is to say, the director just uses time travel as a means to express the feelings he wants to express.
What is he going to say? A doomed life? Unchangeable pain? And the feeling of looking back on a sweet moment? And making the widow wait for a surprise?
Let's talk about some scenarios.
For example, after the actor is "destined" to die, his wife misses him so much, OK, I'll give you a chance, because while he is alive, he may travel to the time and space after his death to comfort his lonely wife. If so, could his wife be able to compensate and comfort him greatly for his disappearance for no reason during his lifetime? Did I make it clear? For example, he died in 2003, but he disappeared for a month in August 2002, and then shuttled to 2005, where he stayed for one month. In this way, although his wife was in pain when he died in 2003, in 2005, he suddenly gave his wife a surprise, "Although I disappeared for a month in August 2002, it was because I was waiting for you in 2005. Woolen cloth". Great, right?
The episode that moved me was the scene where he went back in time to meet his mom on the subway. His mother died in a car accident when he was about 5 or 6 years old. He witnessed it with his own eyes. In the following years, he tried to change the incident through time and space, but it was impossible. He witnessed his mother die again and again. After a car accident, he was numb when he saw that he could only comfort the terrified and disturbed childhood self, will be OK, will be OK.
The point is not this, the point is that he probably understood that he was powerless to change history and that his mother would not survive, so he no longer To change, but to accept. He shuttles to the subway his mother was on shortly before the accident, and talks to his mother. His mother was a singer, probably not well-known. He appeared 20 years later, and his mother could only treat him as a stranger. "You have a beautiful voice", "I've seen your show", "I want my wife to hear your voice", "Your son loves you so much", he said to his mum who was about to have an accident You are so beautiful".
He wouldn't even remind his mother to be careful about driving, that's useless, his mother will definitely die, so think about it, how did he feel when he said that? It was the calmness after the pain of witnessing her death 100 times.
This story tells me: We can't change the pain that is destined to be, we have to accept the pain, and we have to cherish the short-term happiness that fate gives us.
