first. Explain what the butterfly effect is. The most popular explanation is: a butterfly flapped its wings on a small yellow flower in New York's Central Park, so Tokyo set off a storm, lightning and thunder.
The extended meaning in the movie is: Maybe, people's life will be changed by little inadvertent details back then, and from then on, they will go to different forks and can't turn back
. Main characters: Evan, Kelly, Tommy, Laney (translation in French) Possibly different) followed by Kelly's father.
Main events (including chronological order and characters): (1) Seven-year-old Evan, a painting he made during class. ⑵ family gathering events. (Wen and Kelly) (3) The incident in which Kelly's father took threatening pictures in the basement (Wen, Kelly, Tommy) ⑷ Deliberate explosion. (Wen, Kelly, Laney, Tommy) ⑸ The incident of Tommy killing the dog (Wen, Kelly, Laney, Tommy)
Suppose 1 Evan was not born. Evan has no impact on the world. The corresponding statement is. You don't have a lifeline, you don't belong to this world, you're a soulless person, you shouldn't exist at all. It can also be said that the premise of the butterfly effect does not exist. If there isn't that butterfly at all. How can there be a storm.
Assumption 2 Evan doesn't know Kelly and Tommy at all. He only knew Lenny. They went to college together. Nothing happened. the end of the film. He stumbled across Kelly on the street (of course they didn't know each other), and there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Hypothesis 3 During the family reunion event (2), Evan meets Kelly. However, Evan did not become friends with Kelly. (Then Kelly wouldn't be staying with her father for Evan's sake.) She and Tommy would be staying with their mother. grow up happily.
Hypothesis 4 In the family reunion event (2), Evan meets Kelly. and became friends. Then event (3) will occur, namely: Kelly's father event.
Hypothesis 5 There are several possibilities for the occurrence of Kelly's father incident. A Kelly's father bought a camera, but it is not easy to use. Sent the next day. That is: the premise of shooting is not there. When Kelly's father wanted to shoot, he was persuaded by Evan. The shooting was also unsuccessful. C Kelly's father, the successful shooting of nude scenes. D Kelly was accidentally killed.
Assumption 6 From the above assumption D. If Kelly was blown up. ⑷ and ⑸ will not happen, namely: Kelly cannot participate. Evan is not old enough to be sentenced, and there will be another ending.
Assumption 7 From the assumption C above. Evan had sex with Kelly in front of Kelly's father. ⑷ and ⑸ do not happen as well. Kelly was deeply hurt. As a result, Kelly became a prostitute and drug addict.
Hypothesis 8 If (3), the shooting event of Kelly's father could end with A or B. Then event ⑷ will happen. Namely: Evan and other four people together to create an explosion.
The consequences of the explosion are: ①A pair of innocent mother and son were killed by the explosion (sign: Evan's belly was burned by cigarette butts.) ②Evan became disabled in the explosion.
Assumption 9 If event ② in Assumption 8 occurs. Event ⑸ would not have happened, Tommy killed the dog. (Because in ⑸ incident, Evan is a sound person). Life is smooth and transitional. The end is. The four are still good friends. Kelly becomes Lanny's girlfriend. (The sign is: Because of Evan's disability, the mother became addicted to smoking and got lung cancer.)
Hypothesis 10 If event ① in Hypothesis 8 occurs. Namely: can directly lead to ⑸, Tommy kills the dog incident. corresponding to this event. Also two endings one Tommy is killed by Laney and two Tommy is not killed.
Hypothesis 11 If in Hypothesis 10, an event occurs. ie: Tommy is killed by Laney. In the end, Laney was devastated and bedridden. Everyone disbanded.
Hypothesis 12 In Hypothesis 10, two events occurred. Life goes on and Evan comes back when he grows up and meets Kelly again. The two had a happy time. then. Tommy and Evan clash. Evan accidentally kills Tommy. into prison. (The sign is: Evan remembers a picture he drew when he was a child, the content is "killing". At the same time. There are 2 scars on his hand. The "killing" here and the "killing" in the painting. Mutual echo.)
The whole movie uses the S/L method. It's the way we played single-player games very early on. save/read. Make an analogy. A single player game has 8 junctures. To play to the end. We save progress every time we pass a level. for convenience to come back again later. for example. If level 6 is not passed, start over from the end of level 5. However, even this way. Playing hard to the end may also find an imperfect ending. The system prompts if you want to change. You need to start over, from level 1. Play again.
Not feeling a little frustrated.
Yes. The game is so. Not to mention life. Life is a game that cannot be turned back. game over. means the end. comedy. will end. Tragedy will also end. Well, a thought flashed by.
If you can change these. If you have the opportunity to start over from the wrong place. What will be the end? This is the starting point of the script for the entire film.
Evan is a special person. Because of the damage and reconstruction of his brain, because he cannot distinguish between imagination and reality. so. He has been living in these "save" and "read".
When an assumption does not hold. In a hypothetical time, there are tragic endings. He wanted to change them from the start. pity. Backfired. It often leads to a more tragic ending.
You are not the savior, you cannot save anyone.
If you want to change your destiny, you can only choose assumption one, that is: you never came into this world. You never influenced anyone. Since you are powerless to make others and yourself happy. Then by sacrificing yourself. Destroy yourself. Done in this way.
Such an approach is a denial. A complete self-denial. You don't have a lifeline, you don't belong to this world, you're a soulless person, you shouldn't exist at all. As a friend said. This movie is too dark. A frustrated person with a low mental capacity may commit suicide. The analysis is very thorough. People who commit suicide must have thoughts like this:
Since it is my existence, it has led to the unhappiness of myself or others. So why am I still alive. Why live!
You may be the cause or the result. But don't forget, you are also yourself.
Maybe we are just walking on the edge of LOAD&SAVE, like a dream.
But life is not a game after all, -isn't it?
