I watched an episode of the X-Files before watching the movie. Coincidentally, it also told a story with prophetic power. An old man, when he opened his eyes, he could see different people, various ways of dying, and he could see the death of the old lady in the neighborhood. , and can also restore the murder scene based on the crime scene. He could predict, but could not avoid it, so he chose to sell insurance to mitigate the accidental risk of death.
Old man: If not, how can I predict the future?
Mulder: If the future is already set, why do anything else?
Old Man: You finally understand.
Does it mean that what I see is the future after you have made these efforts? The
X-Files is relatively short, and in the end, I did not understand the ending of the story, but I was deeply impressed by this sentence.
The old man has a sympathetic and heavy heart, even so, he has to drink every day to fall asleep. In comparison, Henry, who will travel at any time, has a more tragic fate, an uncontrollable time and place, and is still naked. The only benefit is to win 5 million in the lottery. Well, I think this beautiful wife who loves him deeply is also brought by travel.
Going back to the past again and again, seeing his mother, but unable to reverse the car accident, just like when he saw his future, shot to death, and left the person he loved deeply, watching soberly, but couldn't intervene, so what if he saw it, he could only Pain, this is really a disease, the pain it brings is far greater than the joy.
PS: What's been spinning around in the brain is the issue of time branching. The protagonist in the movie cannot change the past or the future, so is time really one-way? If so, then the traveler just has the ability to travel backwards. And what if not? At a certain point, we made different decisions, or these people with superpowers couldn't help being curious and changed a potential future, so they walked into another time and space, and everything developed into another kind of pattern. At different points in our lives, our time and space branch off and become an alternate selves parallel to the existing world. If so, wouldn't the universe become a bifurcated tree full of space-time bubbles? This is too fun~
Various time and space theories I read a long time ago appeared, and the writing was so confusing that I was a little confused. . .
