Attempted Murder Paradox

At the beginning of the film, I was a little confused, thinking that it could reproduce the scene of the real murder that has already happened, and then travel back to the past to change the present future through time. time to stop the murder and change the future.

Anyone who has watched "The Butterfly Effect" and "Back to the Future" knows that time travel is not a good behavior, whether it is changing the past or changing the future. The longer the time drags on, the greater the impact on the current world. It's also the reason why I don't regret the decisions I made before. If I go back to the past and change the choices I made at that time, everything I have now may be in vain, and I will experience another group of people and other things. It must be better than now. If you are a gambler, I didn't say it. No one really thinks that if the bad choices in the past are changed, the good things they have in the present will not change, and the same is true of changing the future.

However, the setting of this film does not involve time travel. All actions take place in the present moment, which is easy to understand and easy to operate. What the film presents at the beginning is to show the best side of the "prophet" and prevent the A person who kills the heart but attempts to commit a crime, protects one life after another, so that criminals have no chance to take advantage of it, which is safer and more reliable than superheroes.

At the beginning, the director gave the theory that "the Prophet" is absolutely correct, the foreseen future will definitely happen, so 0 mistakes lead to the arrest of the protagonist, which is also the beginning of emotional ups and downs, how to uncover the mystery step by step after being framed The veil has become the most important and attractive plot. Indeed, this part is very exciting. Avoiding pursuit, plot reversal, and the truth behind the conspiracy, but these are not enough to sublimate the final theme. Just having fun is enough.

The plot tells us that the protagonist has a choice before the murder, and the director also has a choice before the murder, because the police are not at the crime scene, and the successful case that has only been shown twice is that the police arrived at the crime scene, and the green hat Boys and black hat boys have no choice. In the same way, if the crime scene police of the protagonist and the director arrive, then they naturally have no choice, because these four people are all charged with attempted murder, and all of them are working at the crime scene.

The point where this drama should be sublimated is to prove that the "prophet" theory of 0 errors is wrong. It is wrong to forcibly set the crime of attempted murder when the suspect is not at the scene of the crime. Maybe it will be discovered by conscience. But the show has not been able to overthrow this theory from beginning to end. The so-called choice of the protagonist or restitution is only based on the premise that the police are not present. And if a person wants to find out with conscience when he starts at the crime scene and stop in time, it is only that he has not committed homicide, but it is still attempted homicide, so he wants to clean himself up? This can only be another proof that the "prophet" was right.

The whole plot did not make a fuss before the scene of the crime. The scene foreseen by the "prophet" did not happen. It is not necessarily an attempted murder. It is also possible that a choice has been made before the action, a new life, and let go of hatred. These are Don't they deserve to be forgiven, don't they know how to dig deep?

If these are explained well, the film can definitely go to a higher level, but this film just filmed the conspiracy theory and reversed the plot, plus the long plot, it does not seem so good.

    Some unreasonable loopholes. . . And those methods of controlling the computer are so cool that they are a bit too exaggerated. . . .

    The meaning of "minority" in the original work (that is, every report is a minority, and every timeline is unique) (also the core stem of human behavior changes after predicting the future) has been dispelled, and using the echo phenomenon to create a second murder is considered A little innovation on the original setting. The stalk of changing the eyeballs is useless, and the explanation and humane care for the ins and outs of the deformed creatures such as the "prophet" have been added, and a lot of family love chicken soup has also been poured into it by the way.
