They are not the original cast, and the plot is irrelevant. They still blatantly use the halo of "Butterfly Effect" to play the name "Butterfly Effect 2". It is clear that it is for publicity. Imagine, everyone wants to know whether this film can surpass the standard. Call it a classic, so I will walk into the cinema with curiosity. Of course, advantages are disadvantages, and if the comparison results fail, it often becomes a weight used by others to strike. So, did the bet win? Just look at how many people scold the dog's tail for continuing the mink. Even without a preconceived notion, I think I'd play Samsung at most. Life is not something we can completely control, such as birth, old age, sickness and death, joys and sorrows, how to treat the changes in life, and what attitude to face the unsatisfactory life, this is what this film wants to discuss. However, in the process of this discussion, gradually, the emphasis on the character flaws of the protagonist Nick became more and more obvious, and then I forgot that this is a film with a similar conception and design to "The Butterfly Effect". Nick's mother's phrase "you can't control everything" made Nick realize the pain he caused his friends to suffer, and finally chose to sacrifice himself to create a more perfect ending for others. However, I believe that Nick's failure is not in the desire to control, but in the greed for unearned gain and the pessimistic passive cowardice. When the fate changed again and again, but unexpected new problems occurred, the first thing he thought of was not to use rational wisdom to analyze and solve the problem or to minimize the adverse consequences caused by the problem, but to try to reverse the time. The source of the problem in order to achieve the goal of zero problems. It is a pity that he is not an immortal after all. Every time he changes, old problems disappear and new problems appear, and his desires are like a bottomless pit. Leaving aside the ability to travel through time and space, judging from his normal life, he is also a failure. He is conceited and unwilling to be convinced by the promoted boss, but he has made a mess of the big case and has to rely on pleasing the boss's daughter to get the position of vice president, regardless of whether he treats work or Julie, he just talks and doesn't do it , "Worthy of being a salesman" is his sharpest and most authentic portrayal. Although the transformation of different time and space is accidental, his experience in each time and space is inevitable. This is due to his personality. It can be said that in the end, Nick's death is just for his personality. Compromise without struggle, made in frustration and despair, is not as great as self-sacrifice for others. This conclusion is clearly contrary to the film's purpose of repeating the phrase "I can do anything for you". On a whim, putting aside everything related to the butterfly effect, keeping all the plot and the psychology of Nick's character Content, tell me about the idea of the film. The first idea is to put more effort into the picture, sound effects, etc., especially to expand at the end, focusing on the rendering of brush and ink, so that people can't help but think that Nick's ability to travel through time and space has fallen on the child, and the child will not know what to do Feeling touched this ability, thus making this film a thriller. However, it's easier said than done to achieve a thriller, and every time Nick travels through time, the only thing I want to know is whose turn it's unlucky. It is more inclined to another idea, adding an ending to reveal the truth from the perspective of a third party. It turns out that Nick's headache was inherited from his father, and has developed into a type of mental illness (schizophrenia? Delusional disorder?), and the previous occurrence Everything about it is Nick's imagination, until Nick's mental state is overwhelmed and he ends his life in the footsteps of his father. Many foreshadowings that were buried before the film, only then did the audience realize it, and this film finally took on the hat of a suspense film. Of course, thinking about it again, this ending is similar to "Identity". After all, it still lacks some imagination. After all, this kind of film is nothing more than trying to dispel the idea of going back to the past, why should I be entangled in the creation of Nick's character? To put ourselves in our shoes, we can’t tell before the event which unpleasant thing happened to us is more painful, but we can be sure that sitting in fear and waiting for death will only exacerbate the pain. There are gains and losses, and the world is always unsatisfactory. This timeless truth leads to psychological imbalances, but it also teaches us what is the survival of the fittest. Looking for excuses to escape, or trying to save by other means, is tantamount to humiliating yourself. It is better to let go of your arms, accept the reality calmly, and face the difficulties positively. Perhaps success is waiting for you not far away.
