You can't change the past, you can only change the future

Alexander, in order to change the past and change the fact that his fiancee died, invented a time machine and returned to the night when he proposed to marry him, but his fiancee left. When he finally succeeded in inventing the time machine, he went back to the past and kept his fiancee away from the place where the accident happened, but he still couldn't escape death.
Yes, he can go back a thousand times, and his fiancée has a thousand ways to die. He can go back to the past, but he can't change the facts that happened, and he can also change the process and the form, but he can't change the result.
Therefore, he travels through time, to the future, to find answers.
What drives everything to happen is the terrible word, "if", which is, in essence, human desire. If Emma hadn't died, the time machine probably wouldn't exist.
The fact that what happened can't be changed, if only if, so Alexander can't save Emma back.
The past cannot be changed, only the future can be changed, so Alexander used the time machine to kill the underground family, save the underground family, and finally live happily with Mara.
In the face of reality, in the face of danger, we cannot escape, we can only resist, even at the cost of our lives. In the life of tragedy and suffering, what we have to do is not to escape, only to change, only to resist, only in this way can happiness come.

The Time Machine quotes

  • Vox: Can you even imagine what it's like to remember everything? I remember this six-year-old girl who asked me about dinosaurs 800,000 years ago. I remember the last book I recommended: Look Homeward, Angel by Thomas Wolfe. And yes, I even remember you. "Time travel, practical application."

  • Über-Morlock: Come a little closer, I don't bite.
