Travel through time

The '95 movie, which surprised me, so foreigners are really good. I watched the fairy sword in 2005 that day and I couldn't stand it anymore. But the films made in 1995 make me feel that they were made in the past few years.
I probably know the storyline. After more than 30 years in 1996, the surface of the earth has been occupied by animals, and the survivors can only live under the ground. Scientists want to find a cure for the virus by traveling through time and space, so they sent james back. Looking for info in 1996, but accidentally brought James to 90. People at the time thought he was insane and put him in a mental hospital. (At the beginning of the movie, a real patient in a mental hospital is quoted. Maybe this movie also wants to be close to reality to some extent, although it must not be reality.) Later, James was sent to 1996. During this process, the female psychologist gradually Believe what james said, but james gradually felt that he might actually be mentally ill, and everything was imagined by himself (I like this plot very much, maybe it is possible, some people are actually not mentally ill, they are told a lot, it is true They think they are mentally ill, maybe it’s just that they think differently. I haven’t seen the genius on the left and the lunatic on the right, maybe that’s what I’m talking about, take a chance to look at it) The past can’t be changed, so even if james vaguely Thinking that everything is repeating can't stop everything from happening. The dream that james has been having is not a dream at all. It was what he saw at the airport 30 years ago. He will predict some things because 30 years is 96 years. In fact, it is a child living in that era.
When I looked at it, I remembered "source code" although it was normal time and space.
What is the mental world of a mentally ill person? Are they living in a world that we can't predict now, but that world actually exists, it's just that human beings today don't have the ability to recognize that world.

  • [James Cole found a spider and knows he's got to take it with him, let's it crawl over his hand while deciding what to do with it]

    Jeffrey Goines: You know what crazy is? Crazy is majority rules. Take germs, for example.

    James Cole: Germs?

    Jeffrey Goines: Uh-huh. In the eighteenth century, no such thing, nada, nothing. No one ever imagined such a thing. No sane person, anyway. Ah! Ah! Along comes this doctor, uh, uh, uh, Semmelweis, Semmelweis. Semmelweis comes along. He's trying to convince people, well, other doctors mainly, that's there's these teeny tiny invisible bad things called germs that get into your body and make you sick. Ah? He's trying to get doctors to wash their hands. What is this guy? Crazy? Teeny, tiny, invisible? What do you call it? Uh-uh, germs? Huh? What? Now, cut to the 20th century. Last week, as a matter of fact, before I got dragged into this hellhole. I go in to order a burger in this fast food joint, and the guy drops it on the floor. Jim, he picks it up, he wipes it off, he hands it to me like it's all OK. "What about the germs?" I say. He says, "I don't believe in germs. Germs is just a plot they made up so they can sell you disinfectants and soaps." Now he's crazy, right? See?

    [James Cole finally takes the spider into his mouth, Jeffrey Goines is either too deep into his talk or unimpressed by this and continues his talk as if nothing happened]

    Jeffrey Goines: Ah! Ah! There's no right, there's no wrong, there's only popular opinion. You... you... you believe in germs, right?

  • James Cole: Look at them. They're just asking for it. Maybe the human race deserves to be wiped out.

    Jeffrey Goines: Wiping out the human race? That's a great idea. That's great. But more of a long-term thing. I mean, first we have to focus on more immediate goals.
