What can we change?

Maybe it's dissatisfaction with real life, maybe it's an obsession with time and space in the universe, I especially like to watch movies about time travel this year. The protagonist in Twelve Monkeys traveled back and forth several times in order to find the Twelve Monkey Army, but in the end he was unable to change the ending. This film wants to tell us that through time travel, we can change the direction of the development of things, but it cannot change the final result. This sounds a bit like Chinese fatalism. Is human life really destined and cannot be changed?
In the vast universe, each of us is so small, most of the time we can only be a floating dust and go with the wind. Like the hero in the film is forced to go on a mission, maybe he can choose not to go, but in order to be released, to be free, he has to go. People often want to not go to work, not work hard, be a free man, and travel the world. But too many burdens on everyone makes us have to work day after day, making us feel exhausted and exhausted every day. But what can we change? It’s the mentality. Since there are many things we can’t choose, why should we let ourselves suffer inwardly? Have a tolerant heart, do things practically, cherish everything we have now, maybe one day we will find out that we can really change something.

    See the chaos of time and space again, and see the salvation again. What's more terrifying is that humans themselves killed the heroes who went back to the past to save them from the future; what's even more desperate is that Bruce saw his own future death as a child. This script is very interesting, the rescuer kills the rescuer, and he sees his own future killing.

    8. It is quite different from Gilliam's nonsensical films, but Willis was sent to the past as an observer, which is a little bit. As a result, history cannot be changed, only history can be observed.
