Assuming that time can be traveled through, what this film needs the audience to think about is not how to go back to the past, but what to do after going back. The first time the protagonist went back, it was very simple. He actually helped a friend to pass the chemistry test that he failed to pass. Moreover, the IQ of the guy had to go back three times to pass the test. Then, winning the lottery, wait, these, if it were you, would you do it? Fix your mistakes and make yourself rich, I think everyone's answer should be the same. The problem here is that changing one thing often triggers a series of follow-up reactions. For example, if you were originally without money, you suddenly became rich, and later, your social circle, your family, and your identity will all change because of your change. It might get better, it might get worse. In the film, the protagonist's life takes a turn for the worse. Time and time again, it gets worse and worse, and finally it becomes unmanageable. The protagonist had no choice but to go back to the starting point and destroy the time machine before it was made. He went back to his childhood, talked to his father, destroyed the machine, and finally eliminated his own existence (a possibility in the future). Ironically, he still kept his hand and gave him a second chance as a child. He only destroyed the time machine he made, but he did not destroy the unfinished product made by his father. As a result, when he grew up, he discovered the existence of the time machine through his father and his own camera again. History once again Repeat, enter an infinite loop.
I personally doubt the concept of time, any year, month, day, hour, second, and minute are all products of human invention. There is no time constraint for all things in the world, but only the laws of nature itself. All flowers, birds, fish and insects follow the The laws of nature grow, die, and inherit. Humans should respect the laws of nature, respect the nature that nurtures us, and understand and care for their environment. rather than trying to change anything.
