The logic of the film is a little unclear, and I always feel that something is wrong. . . After a long time of random analysis, I can't get the result, ask God. . .

How many cameras are there in total? My logic is also messed up. . . Discuss the beginning and the end. Because the ending is really unclear. . .
First of all, it should be noted that except for the end of the film, the protagonist changes his own life, that is, travels back and returns. To distinguish between the protagonist and the camera in different periods, the protagonist adds 123, etc., and the camera adds abc, etc.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------
1. At the beginning of the film, the camera a of the protagonist 1, the old girl, is responsible for video recording.

2. Later, the protagonist 1 found camera b in the attic and recorded it with a (there is a question here)

3. Later, it was found from camera b that the protagonist 1 had another protagonist 2 on his 7th birthday. c, (it can be inferred that camera c is not camera b, otherwise you will see more content from it, and then infer that there is a setting here: that is, the camera in the attic is not left by the protagonist after crossing, but the father's, which is a pair of The latter inference is important!). The reason why it is called protagonist 2 here is because of another very important setting in the follow-up film: protagonist 1 makes changes to the past and then returns to the present again, knowing everything he has done, and what has changed is protagonist 1's own life . And protagonist 1 doesn't know everything that protagonist 2 does, so it can be inferred that protagonist 2 disappears like protagonist 1 at the end, and doesn't know what he did. . . Ask God for analysis. . .

Fourth, all kinds of messing around in the middle will not be discussed, it is just a setting: change your own life by yourself. . .

5. Near the end, the protagonist 1 travels to his 7th birthday and destroys everything but leaves a camera d. (See the discussion in point 6 about which camera d is in the previous article.) At this time, the 7-year-old child cannot be called the protagonist 1, but should be called the protagonist 3, because the life of the protagonist 1 is no longer changed, and the protagonist 1 disappears , and did not go back. So the 7-year-old protagonist 3 starts a new life. . .

6. At the end, the protagonist 3 finds the camera e in the attic, and in the camera e, he finds the video recorded when the protagonist 1 finds the camera b in the attic at the beginning of the film. Combining with the fifth point, it can be inferred that after the protagonist 1 passes through The left d is the e in the attic, and only a recorded the whole process, so e=d=a, that is to say, the protagonist 1 recorded the whole process with the old girl's camera and left it to the protagonist 3. . .

7. Throughout the whole movie, the protagonist 2 should be the first generation to change the past, change 1's life and disappear. The protagonist 1 is the second generation who has changed the past and is influenced by 2. At the end, the protagonist 3 is the third generation who changed the past, which was influenced by 1. . .

So here comes the question:
First, since the protagonist 1 is affected by 2, but the camera in the attic is not left by the protagonist 2 (the setting in the third point), why is the protagonist 3 affected by 1, but what is left in the attic is 1 camera?
Second, it can be clearly seen that the cameras found in the attic of protagonists 1 and 3 are all old-fashioned cameras (incomparably huge) and now they are all new cameras, that is to say, camera a is not an old-fashioned camera, and the camera that protagonist 3 found last e, the film is an old-fashioned large camera. That is, a is different from e. . . How to explain this. . .
The above can be understood. . . limited level. . . Sorry, but please let me know if you know why. . . Thanks! ! !
