In the evaluation of "Yearbook Project", I gave "recommendation", recommending its creative and novel shooting methods, and the creative praise at the end of the design; furthermore, although its shooting methods are not novel, but this kind of shooting method is not new. A movie with a video camera as the main item does not discuss the traces of editing. The whole movie is like watching what was recorded by the video camera on the protagonist's hand at the end of the film in one breath, which is quite refreshing. (I heard that someone fainted this film?)
I think the theoretical support of this film is based on the theory of world-line convergence and traditional space-time theory; but it lacks the infinite loop similar to "Ring Messenger" and "Butterfly Effect" ”, “Terrorist Cruise” such a plot around the mind. (I feel that this analogy is not appropriate at all, you just need to understand.)
At the beginning of the film, the protagonist said that the protagonist designed a very powerful somatosensory operating system to attack MIT-Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology , but due to the failure of the experiment because a phone blocked the wifi signal in the middle, or the MIT instructor felt that such a somatosensory system was not cheating enough, so he could not get a full scholarship of $45,000, only a pitiful $5,000 US dollars, so the unemployed mother had to choose to sell the house. The protagonist has experienced the ups and downs of life in the first five minutes. After a series of scenes introducing the protagonist's school environment, bad friends around him, and the girl he likes, the protagonist and his sister appeared in the attic of the house, and found their father for the first time. The video camera left behind found that the current self appeared at his 7th birthday party. But the next protagonist found that the basement arrangement was a bit far-fetched. After seeing the film, we knew that the protagonist just happened to be standing there, just happened to be recorded by Dad's video recorder, and had no idea of ​​touching the switch there, and this This amazing coincidence made me drunk too. Later, when Dad took out the time machine at the end of the film, he was clearly looking at the lights in the basement, so why was Dad able to turn on the electromagnet floor? Did the director forget to shoot this bug himself...
When the time machine is just turned on and there is no power, why does the video recorder have the effect of time-space disturbance when it is close? This is what I didn't understand the most at first. I thought it was a finished product, but later I found out that it was not, so I didn't particularly understand the meaning of this lens, just to make us a "this thing is very The feeling of "sucking"?
Later, when making the time machine, the protagonist's wisdom was used to the extreme, whether it was using a circular saw and a drill press, or running to school to crack the code with a purple light (really?), and finally used a car to successfully put the female first. No. 2333 The next plot makes people a little speechless. The protagonist, such a rigorous person, knows that the facilities are not completely OK, but he directly conducts human experiments under the encouragement of the heroine two or three sentences? OK, is it because I know that I haven't gone to the 7th birthday party and I know that I won't die on this world line, so it doesn't matter? If so, I'd be speechless.
Quinn's situation when he is playing tricks on himself, the protagonist uses a word called feedback loop, should it be translated as feedback loop? Or a feedback loop? The simplest understanding is the similar effect between the microphone and the speaker. What is explained in the movie here can only be understood as a lot of overlap between the past and present memories when facing each other, and the information is large enough to make this person disappear out of thin air, because the three-dimensional Individuals cannot afford this magnitude of information? (What the hell am I talking about, please ignore) This kind of plot arrangement can be regarded as the director following the time and space paradox. At least there is no such problem in "Doraemon", right?
After that, the protagonists acted like all movie protagonists. After discovering the time machine, they made what they thought to "correct the mistake". Quinn failed to pass the thesis defense, Christina was bullied by classmates in high school, and went back to the past to buy lottery tickets. ! As expected, it was a digit difference or simply bought the wrong thing, but the screenwriter was kind enough to let them win a lot of money, which is also a lot of money.
The movie reached its climax. When the protagonists found out that what they did in the past not only affected themselves, but also others, their conscience began to condemn them. I think there is still a bug here. For example, I I went back to a concert that I hadn't been to before. If I met other friends at that time, and then the other friends asked the other me what to do? "You absolutely went, you see, I even took a selfie with you" 233 Or what if your past self was watching the live broadcast at home and saw yourself playing on stage, are you sure that your past self will not explode? 2333 Well, Adam, Quinn, and Christina all felt that they should not go to the concert after they stopped complaining, so that the ball game would continue and the plane would not crash, but the protagonist was reluctant to the girl he had just soaked in because he stopped him. After the concert, I may continue to "Having sex with hand" as Quinn said, so I went back alone to save the ball game and the plane crash, but I don't know why Adam was seriously injured because of something. The hospital, and then the protagonist ran into the basement of his own house. I don't know how to deduce these things that have no connection in my opinion and should go back to "7 o'clock on Tuesday night". The film did not explain that the protagonist wanted to go there. What did you do at one point in time, because Jessie followed the past by accident, and felt that she was cheated after finding out what the protagonist did, and she accidentally met her past self under the noise, and disappeared under the action of the feedback loop! The protagonist began to panic at this time. Back to the present, it is possible that the disappearance of Jessie has been investigated by the police. The last contact is the protagonist, so the police believe that the protagonist kidnapped Jessie. During the discussion, Quinn felt that it was the time machine that brought so much joy to each other, and it would be too much to go back and destroy the time machine directly! (Actually, I want to say, you have to enjoy it. You were so caring when the plane crashed into the forest fire, and when the police were about to arrest people, you didn’t let the protagonist go back and destroy the time machine?) After the plot everyone It's all there for all to see, but what's going on?
According to my understanding, the protagonist burns the old and new time machines after seeing his father. At the same time, all the stories about the time machines will disappear at that moment, whether it is the protagonist who has passed through or the time machine. The memories from before, but the video recorder was still there and no one moved it. After my father went out, he died in a car accident. Mom cleaned up the room and put both video recorders in the attic, and then let the past The protagonist grew up and found the video recorder with her sister. The protagonist watched the video and found out that Jessie was also one of them, so she felt that she should be recalled to the organization, which is probably the case. In my understanding, after the protagonist burned the time machine, The line in the future has already been broken, and they jumped to another line. This line has no time machine, only the video recorder that is against the sky has not been affected and "survived". The previous line is estimated that the protagonist has disappeared, Jessie has disappeared, and the time machine has disappeared. That world line will be a very sad world. But as for why the protagonist burned the time machine, it was just that his people and schoolbag were gone, and then the time machine auxiliary facilities he made were still there; why did he not have the changes in the world due to the butterfly effect after crossing back? memory?
Therefore, this film is actually better to watch as an entertainment film. If we are serious, we will lose. The simple and clear plot still does not require a lot of brains. With the powerful soundtrack of the movie, I have to say that the soundtrack is very good at rhythm. Makes the audience look very emotional.
Finally, Amway will talk about the world line. Young friends who don't understand can go to "Stone Gate". This anime can explain to you what the world line is without so many loopholes. (I found that I was so long-winded, what the hell did this review say)
