The protagonist is a scumbag

The Butterfly Effect The first one was great, the second and third were not so good. The most disgusting thing is the poor image of the male protagonist. Especially in the third book, Sam, who has underdeveloped limbs and a simpler mind, thinks he has monopolized the power of time-travel, and ignores the advice of others, travels indiscriminately, and is stubborn. Although the development of the plot ultimately comes down to his sister. But the male protagonist of the whole film is so weak, which greatly weakens people's expectations for the development of the entire film's plot, because I no longer care about the fate of the male protagonist when I watch it. I feel that bad luck is right for him. The film's appeal to me is no longer there.

The reason why the first part is so exciting and soul-stirring is because the male protagonist's persistent love for his girlfriend and friends moved the audience. Although the male protagonist is ordinary, he has no bad habits. His starting point and motivation for time travel are better than those of the latter two. The hero of the second part is very selfish and vain. Although the hero of the third part is a good deed at the beginning, he also relies on this to make money, pay for the room, and treat it as a profession, making the romantic thing of time travel vulgar. Such a design greatly weakens the appeal of the entire film from the very beginning.

  • Harry Goldburg: That right there - that's Burundanga. It's the Devil's Breath.

    Sam Reide: And you grow this because...

    Harry Goldburg: It's fucking Detroit, man. Put a few of those under my window. Cheaper than buying a burglar alarm.

  • 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?
