There are a lot of fragments that have become part of the memory, and we try to forget them
just because we can't go back to that moment and change them.
If given me this possibility, let me go back to the old crossroads,
if I can know in advance the consequences of a certain choice that I do not want to happen,
let me stop and turn to another A step in the direction, my history, will this be more perfect?
This movie not only assumes this possibility, but even tries to give an unexpected answer:
yes, if the butterfly did not fly away at that moment, but just shook its wings,
at the time of the chain At the end, there will be an extra hurricane out of thin air, and worse, no one knows where the wind is blowing.
When everything is unknown, we can only comfortably assume that
the world we have actually experienced and participated in changing is by far the best kind of outcome, of
course, if you think it's the worst you'll be more comfortable You can also listen to your words.
The assumption, and the one offered in the film, is
probably the most frustrating one I can think of,
that changing any part of history would result in an unpredictable event. (there are only two exceptions in
the film, that is, the protagonist goes back to the past in order to get the cooperation of his roommate in prison,
injures his hand with a nail, and picks up a knife in order to destroy the bomb in history
. After this time, the protagonists all return to the given time and space, which not only did not bring about major catastrophic changes, but even benefited from it).
On parole, you have the ability to see the beauty of a world without yourself (as in the last three minutes of the film). If you change it, you
will feel deeply lost. The protagonist's misfortune is hereditary,
But this seemingly endless unfortunate end is due to the progress of the times, which can be ended by recording the birth of a baby with images.
Even if this life is not stillborn, it is expected that when he grows up, after learning With this ability of his own, the
only way to go is to be imprisoned in a lunatic asylum or to cut himself off.
Maybe not appearing in this world is the best ending he can think of,
but even so, there is still a mother who is suffering for his early departure.
In other words, if a person gains the ability to reverse history,
what awaits him is either the disaster of history or his own tragedy.
And there are two motives that make the fate of those who possess this ability necessary,
namely, remorse and greed—either remorse for what one has done,
or dissatisfaction with the state of life in which it is placed, longing for it Change,
it is these two emotions that give us the urge to go back to the past to change history from time to time , and it is these two emotions that make us
different from God.
The actions of the protagonist in the movie allude to a religious proposition. Since my existence will only bring misfortune to the world,
then who will go to hell if I don’t go to hell? The nail marks on the protagonist's hand hint at the distress of a martyr.
Everyone may at some point have the desire to go back to the past and change history, which is inevitable due to human nature.
However, this wish can never be fulfilled, so people can exist in the world in their present state and relationship.
People are busy all day long, whether happy or in distress. They look forward to the arrival of a new life, but they don't know anything about it.
They can only comfort themselves to formulate answers for everything, and they abide by them from generation to generation, with an infinite expectation. Procreate endlessly and peacefully.
Man exists only because man is not God.
