the story is not over

Written at the very front: I must admit that I am a dead brain sometimes, and some things will always be entangled in my heart if I don't understand them. When the little girl burned the rag doll at the end, the author was shocked by the tiger and the chrysanthemum, and felt that the whole movie was not as simple as I imagined before. Some film reviews have been summed up to form the following conclusions, the time relationship is not very complete. If there are different views, rational discussion is welcome.

Regarding the parallel universe theory, it means that a different process of an event or the subsequent development of a different decision exists in different parallel universes. These universes do not affect each other but actually exist. To put it simply, it is like playing an RPG game. A copycat king grabs a civilian girl in front of you. At this time, the system prompts: A. Kill the copycat king and his younger brother, save the beauties, become a generation of heroes and beauties and live a happy life Life. B. Defeat the Shanzhai King, occupy the Shanzhai and rebel. Obviously different choices will bring different results, and the parallel universe believes that the two exist and are going on at the same time, and both heroes and Shanzhai Toutou are one person. However, it is impossible for Shanzhai King and Hero to happen in the same universe at the same time, which is where I disagree that the Butterfly Effect is talking about parallel universes. Because the protagonist in one universe cannot have the memories of another universe. In the first part, it is more obvious that every time the protagonist has a nosebleed after changing his destiny, there will be a process of memory entering his brain, and the changed things will be instilled into his brain in a short period of time. The second and third episodes are the memories that have not changed. So compared to parallel universes, I prefer the protagonists to simply make changes to their lives and return to a modified reality by constantly traveling through time and space, rather than creating various branches.
About time travel. The ability that the three protagonists have, in terms of Internet buzzwords, is time-travel. However, the time travel in the movie is not equivalent to the YY bridge in the online novel, living in a certain time period for a long time and changing history. People with these abilities can only go back to the past through special means (watching diaries, videos, photos, or staying calm in ice water), making a short stay in the previous time instead of living in At that time, and what is done during that time will have the potential to change what happens next. In the plots of the first two films, we can find that this special function can be inherited (three generations of grandparents in the first part, father and son in the second part), so we have reason to believe that not only Sam and Jean, but their One of the parents also has this ability, which is a key point. There is another condition for the time and space shuttle, that is, it is just a shuttle of consciousness, using the consciousness of the future to control the body at that time, so it is absolutely nonsense to say that the so-called daughter of Sam goes back to set fire.
About that fire. I believe many friends will ask, why can't Sam jump directly before the fire to avoid the disaster? The plot has not been advanced to the fire, I think it makes sense, or that the fire is bound to happen. As mentioned above, if one of the parents has traveled through time and space, then he will definitely not want his daughter to die, and he will definitely save it after the incident. However, when the daughter grows up, she finds that her daughter is in love with her brother Violent and violent, thinking that it was a mistake to keep her daughter, it would be better to let her die in that fire, so she went back to the day of the fire and trapped her in the room. The plot can refer to the first time that someone blocked the door to prevent Jean from coming out, and the face could not be seen clearly. The author thinks that it is one of Jean's parents, and Jean just said "Please, Please let me out!", and the last In the scene comparison, there is no mention of Sam, perhaps a hint that Sam is not the only one who wants him to die. Then, when Sam finally returned to the fire scene, he found that the emergency fire-fighting device had been damaged, indicating that this was not an ordinary "gas leak" accident.
About the death of Sam's parents after rescuing Jean. In a certain clip, we can see that the parents have escaped from the house, and the movie does not give the memory of that paragraph, so it is bold to speculate that the parents were also killed by Jean. After Jean grew up, her parents found out about Jean's problems and strongly opposed it. For the sake of his brother, Jean killed so many people, so there is a certain possibility of killing his parents.
Memories of the fire that Jean haunted Sam. I think there is some truth to what a netizen said. Through the film, I know that Sam crossed the fire twice, the first time was to save people from the window, and the second time was to block the door to kill people. And the professor has always emphasized that you can't travel to the same scene at the same time. He may say that when Sam travels back and sees Sam in another time period, it may cause the life of the traveler to be in danger. And Jean has the ability to travel, she will definitely travel back and want to know the scene at that time, and then she saw that it was indeed Sam who was holding the door, and when she was desperate, she was rescued by a ladder from the window. untie. Referring to the 48 minutes or so of dialogue, Jean thinks that Sam set the fire, and said that Sam will go crazy one day if he keeps on traveling (it should mean to kill her).
About whether Sam's daughter is his sister. Sam married his first love girlfriend's sister Elizabeth and gave birth to a daughter (here, it may be that Sam knew that there would be no result with Rebecca and deliberately staggered and chose her sister), named Jean. Some netizens here think that it is the reincarnation of the younger sister, which I think is unreliable. In the Western concept, people should go to heaven after death, not the theory of reincarnation that we advocate, and it is quite common for Westerners to name their children the same because they miss a deceased relative.
About little Jean burning the rag doll. This has to go back to the main body of the series, because the protagonists are dissatisfied with real life and want to improve through time travel, and the results will only get worse. In the first part, the protagonist took his own life and let everyone live happily. The protagonist of the second part dies in a car accident while trying to give everyone the life they want. And the third part just let the sister die and the ending will be so happy? Little Jean told us, no. It is not only the ability to pass through that is inherited, but even Jean's evil gene was passed on to little Jean because of Sam. In the end, seeing this doll being burned with such an "innocent" smile makes me chill. This should be the scene where little Jean returned to this period after he grew up and had time-travel, telling us that this is far from over.
Finally, if the Butterfly Effect will have 4, I don't think it will tell the story of Little Jean as a continuation of 3. Anyway, let's all look forward to it.
