First of all, the working situation of the time camera before the appearance of the male and female protagonists: the
old scientist began to quietly use the camera to observe the opposite male and female protagonists a long time ago, and set the working time of the camera to shoot at 8:00 am and 8:00 pm every day. At this stage It lasted for a long time (all the photos on the photo wall were taken at this stage), and then, according to the narration of the old man's colleague, the old woman, after the appearance of the old man, the old man wrote to tell her that the experiment had entered the next stage, with " Look farther", so he took the first photo of the future 2 weeks later, (this is critical). Then he saw blood in the photo, saw his hat, saw a painting with capacitors. He was nervous. I thought that I had an accident, so I attached the photo and mailed it to the old woman. At the same time, I went to the warehouse to find capacitors, trying to eliminate the hidden danger, and then an accident happened. Judging from the fact that all his previous photos were taken 12 hours apart, maybe this is the limit of the frequency of the camera's working interval, so he was so nervous that he didn't continue to wait 12 hours to see the images in the near future, so he didn't find out before he died. Various funny behaviors of the hero and heroine in the two weeks after their own death.
Second, the order of the last few photos
On the day of the male lead's death, the photo taken at 8:00 in the morning is the pictures of "Kill the drug addict to save the male lead" and "Put the picture and the police blocked the picture" pasted on the window after the female lead killed the drug addict. replace" that one. To warn myself the morning before. There are 2 photos at 8:00 pm. The first one is the old man's one 2 weeks ago, and there is no warning line; The two are not the same. There's blood, there's an old man's hat, and there's a picture of a capacitor. There is a loophole in the description of the film here, but we can understand it as the one without the warning line. It was shot with new rules when the old man was trying to see the future in the experimental stage of transformation two weeks ago, that is, the camera function has and only Breaking through the 12-hour fixed time rule, I saw a new point in time between when the heroine was taken away by the police and the police raised the cordon. There are two proofs here. The first is that the heroine went to get the photos the night before, and the photos obtained were cordoned off. Then, according to her own prompts in the future, the photos were quietly replaced, and then they were taken out of the shoes to give Look at the male protagonist, pretending that the future has been changed. The second one is the mumbling of the male pig's feet when he draws the capacitor, "This is impossible, if I draw this, (it will enter a loop), then nothing has actually been changed, (the photo should be without warning) line), where did this photo (with a warning line) come from..?"
Third, and also important, the theme of the film, fate!
A friend in another film review has already made the origin of fatalism very clear, so I will only quote it here:
“The theory of causality, you may think of Buddhist causality as soon as you hear the word, but I am talking about the genius proposed by philosophers. The theory, the causal theory called [Laplace Demon]. The
movie is full of a lot of [determinism, causality], which is why the three protagonists dare not escape the camera, because they are afraid of death, afraid of violating the doomed 【Causality】and died.
The owner of the 【Laplace Demon】 theory, this conjecture put forward by this French mathematician who firmly believed in 【Determinism】in the early 19th century, he believed that there is only one line in time and space, and there is only one line in the future. A result, and this result is predestined.
Maybe it is the reason thousands of years ago, the result is destined after thousands of years, there is only one result, even the small change of the molecular atom, the result after thousands of years is also doomed, there is no uncertainty, there is no second possibility . Just like in a movie, no matter whether the three protagonists deliberately follow, or avoid that time photo, there is always a constant result in the photo, a determined result.
And the [Laplace Demon] conjecture—the main meaning is: [We can regard the present state of the universe as its past effect and future cause. If a wise man can know the forces of all natural motions and the positions of all natural objects at a given moment, and if he can also analyze these data, then the motion of the largest object to the smallest particle in the universe will be contained in a simple formula . To this wise man nothing will be ambiguous, and the future will only appear to him as the past. ]
Although it’s ridiculous, it sounds like the god of religion. If there is a [Laplace Demon] theory, then everything we have is created, and our success or failure is doomed, it sounds very depressing , isn't it? "——Quoted from the "No-Mind" film review "Very classic sci-fi movie, the screenwriter and director are geniuses, integrated into today's science, and the unsolved mysteries of philosophy"
Why do I say the most important here? It should be believed by me Fatalism, you can think about it carefully. In fact, starting from the Big Bang, everything is doomed in terms of the laws of motion. The development and evolution of objects with different masses and different trajectories seem to change endlessly, but in fact there are laws to follow. Your actions and choices seem to be free, but if viewed from a sufficiently microscopic perspective, they are actually fixed. Your thoughts are influenced by your own cells and genes, and the movement of cells and genes The sequence of things is also restricted by various surrounding elements. Your inspiration is actually the specific electric charge generated by the activity of brain cells, and the "effect" of this electric charge is the accumulation of the "cause" of the results of the movement of other objects.
Just like the butterfly effect, in fact, if a South American butterfly flaps its wings, whether it can form a hurricane in North America is certain in terms of microscopic details! It depends on the prevailing wind direction, tides, climate, gravity, etc. It seems to be infinitely variable and incomprehensible, but if you stand from the perspective of "omniscient and omnipotent", with the computing power close to "God", you can calculate every motion component of every force, every dimension, as small as molecular atoms or even protons. After every small change in the state, the result is actually certain.
All the huge changes on the macroscopic level can be decomposed on the microscopic level into the interaction of countless small forces, resulting in various resultant forces or components, and these microscopic factors are all fixed and can be regarded as specific The result of a mathematical formula.
To put it to the extreme, you say that you can change the future. The simplest example is that I can commit suicide now, kill myself, and thus affect the future. Or I choose to do one thing over another. But in fact, is it true? No, your character, your genetics, the environment you grew up in, and the things you have said and perceived have all determined that at this moment, you dare or dare not commit suicide, will or will not change. And these things that can affect you have been affected by other things a long time ago. Back to the origin of the universe!
Therefore, from the point of view of fatalism, the future cannot be changed, just like in the movie, if the heroine does not enter the old man's door at first, then everything after that will not happen; and if the hero and heroine do not follow the pattern on the photo Your behavior may be different. But, in fatalism, there is no such "what if," their character, their circumstances, their impending choices. It was decided millions of years ago, even billions of years ago. There is also the premise of the existence of this time camera experiment, according to the old man's character, his status, his knowledge accumulation, and even trace his parents, his ancestors, the birth of mankind, the birth of the earth, etc., etc., as early as a long time A long time ago, it was determined that he would be born, become a scientist, invent this machine, observe others, worry, and die! There cannot be a second possibility, a second timeline, in the same universe. If there were to be parallel universes, unless there was a second universe, and the base point had to be from the Big Bang, the forces would have to act differently. So in fact, fatalism and relativity are not in conflict. (Of course this is far off)
That's the beauty of this movie!
