, as a fan of the sci-fi film "Ring Messenger", cannot be missed. The movie has just started, and in the silence, bang! A man was shot dead. My spirit is shocked: the current movie, naked violence!
Going back to the past to change the future is still incomprehensible with our human ability and logic. Ever since I was a child, watching "Drabocat", I liked to analyze the changes of cause and effect caused by Yasuo's return to the past in a time machine. Of course, when the robot cat came to Yasuo, it was specially arranged by Yasuo's descendants to change the fate of his ancestors. In the process of helping, the robot cat continued to travel through time and space with Yasuo to change the historical trajectory. The theory should be far more complicated than this Looper. The trouble with Looper, though, is that it talks about death that is not in Doraemon, and death brings irreconcilable contradictions before and after. The condition for Xiao Qiao to survive is to kill Lao Qiao, and Lao Qiao did not want to die because he escaped from Xiao Qiao's gun. The reason why he did not want to die is because he wanted to go back to the past to change the fate of his wife's murder. Xiao Qiao did not kill him. The future self has to flee and cannot go to Shanghai with the bounty according to the historical process to meet the later Chinese wife, and the old Qiao who returned to the past also lost the memory of this love because of his change in this process. Old Joe also lost the fundamental purpose of returning to time and space.
Obviously, the director did not strictly adhere to this cycle of historical cause and effect. That is to say, the current Xiao Qiao and the old Qiao from the future are already in two time and space, and there is no intersection with each other. It is equivalent to one road. At the time when Old Joe succeeded in escaping, it was divided into two roads, and thus two old Joes were born. The old Joe who was on the run was not the old Joe who was killed. However, in the other two episodes, this is manifested: namely, inscriptions on the arms of the current Seth and Jo, the scars will be displayed on the arms of the two people in the future; dismembering the current Seth, the Seth from the future will be Will immediately lose arms and legs. This shows that the director always believes that the old Joe at large = the killed old Joe. The logic is wrong at this point. According to the single time and space theory of the director, the moment Lao Qiao successfully escaped Xiao Qiao's pursuit, he has lost all his memories, because these memories are no longer a fact.
All other aspects of the story elements are beautifully interpreted, but there is nothing more challenging to think about. There is just one point that once again triggered my point of view: if you can really travel through the time tunnel and see your past self, even if it is the self before and after the same period, I am afraid it will be more unpleasant than seeing any enemy. Just as Old Qiao scolded Xiao Qiao as "idiot" and "idiot" all the way, he clearly knew that it was himself, but he was not the one he could accept. We live in the moment, not knowing how hateful and foolish we really are. And when we love ourselves, we also love the present self, because Xiao Qiao can decide to kill the old self without hesitation, because that is not the current him, and has nothing to do with his vested interests at that time. People are selfish and short-sighted, which shows an extraordinary degree.
