Not a god movie

Seeing the address of Lao Bucha's "Rain Caller", the story behind it is already obvious. Let's not talk about the profound theme of the film. As a divine film, at least the story is catchy and unexpected. Don't be seen through at a glance. In this regard, I think programs such as CCTV's "Into Science" are better. It can explain things in five minutes, but it can be said for half an hour, and there are so many suspense in the middle. It's really difficult for those Edited. Let’s go too far, let’s go back to the story. Before watching it, I was prepared to watch it twice, but I didn’t expect that it was not necessary at all. It was clear at a glance after only watching half of it. I have to say that I am extremely disappointed. But the structure of the story is not set up properly. The key to time travel is to justify it. The film is also called the ring messenger. I feel that the director also means fatalism. Through the description of the old joe, we know that in the future there is a "rain caller" who will seal everyone's ring, because the "rain caller" witnessed his mother being killed when he was young, thus embarking on the path of evil , from his attitude towards the ring messenger, it can be seen that the person who killed his mother should be the ring messenger, but this person can't be joe, because in this timeline, joe killed the old himself and lived In the life of a drunken fan, he met Xu Qing again, and was caught again. So in this timeline, who killed "Raincaller"'s mother and turned "Raincaller" into a madman? Later, old joe traveled back, and everything became uncertain at this time, and the future may develop in any direction, but the purpose of old joe's travel back was to kill the "raincaller", so that the "raincaller" would not be banned Ring, then old joe will not be caught, Xu Qing will not die, they can still be together, and in fact, according to the logic, old joe kills the "raincaller", then little joe will not retire , they won't go to Shanghai, they won't meet Xu Qing, and they won't be together, then it's pointless for old joe to do this. If it's just to save Xu Qing, it's like what little joe said, as long as little joe later It's fine if you don't marry Xu Qing, you don't need to spend so much trouble, and, at the end, little joe sees old joe pointing a gun at the "mother", foresees a series of chain reactions in the future, and ends himself, then Old Joe didn't foresee it? Even if old joe has no feelings for the mother and son, he will kill him if he foresees it, but after killing the "mother"? If little joe doesn't end himself, then old joe has to keep chasing "Raincaller", and little joe will chase old joe until "Raincaller" grows up and controls
