*****************Lots of spoilers ahead ***************************** **********

1. The film spends nearly a third of its time, specifically describing David, a geek nerd in the eyes of ordinary students, encountering various kinds of things in his life with his friends. The troubles, David got into MIT but didn't have enough scholarships, Quinn was not popular with girls; sister Chris was bullied by school girls, in a series of troubles, it seems that there are many ways to get back after encountering the time machine.

2. The process of tinkering with the time machine will not be shown for the time being. Anyway, it’s all my dad’s stuff. I can find a way to turn on the electricity and connect to a display screen. I’ll go back and help Quinn get the chemistry test first, and then help my sister bully. Her little bitch finds her way back, and then takes her sister Jess to the music festival to start a carnival. The story seems to be happy here. The indulgent young Americans squander their youth wantonly, and then the style of the story suddenly changes.

3. Freak David doesn't understand women's hearts. In order to exchange for the more embarrassing relationship with Jess, he broke the rules and went to the music festival alone. , so the plane crashed, and the main leg of the school team was broken by a car (you have passed through so many times before, and it was all right. Why do so many tragedies happen when you confess your success? The screenwriter is really single), so in order to make up for it Everything, David started a plan to save the world alone.

4. But it seems that things are not so simple. After saving the short legs, they found that their good friend Adam was robbed and then fell unconscious in the hospital. Then they wanted to go back to the past to save Adam and was found by his girlfriend Jess, and then the two returned to the past, Seen by Jess in the past, Jess disappeared, and then the technical nerd David thought that it was not me, but the world distorted by the time machine, so he went back to his childhood and destroyed the time machine with his father .

5. At the end of the film, David found a video recorder that recorded the whole process (a video recorder that has been on for 10 years and still has electricity is really not a black technology), so he found a girl and invited her to change the world together.

6. This kind of pseudo-documentary really makes me dizzy. My sister is the real director. I have shot so much and edited it myself.

7. I feel more and more that time travel is the embodiment of idealism. Only the person who crosses is the protagonist, and the others are like NPCs in the game, and the world changes constantly according to the protagonist. Then the question arises, is the person saved by time travel the original person, or is it just an image that exists in our memory. Will the effort be just an illusion in the mind, what is true and what is false?

8. Finally, the film tells the majority of American teenagers that there are no aluminum friends in the tech house. Oh, no, every choice is very important. In order to undo a mistake, you may have to make several mistakes to make up for it.
