I think this film succeeds in capturing the powerlessness of a person in the face of fate, which is the hardest. Originally, it is absurd to use a diary to have a dream and then go back to the past and then change the future. Many time connections and scene scheduling cannot stand up to scrutiny. There are also young handsome men and beautiful women. A hilarious fantasy love drama. But I believe that no matter how much the audience understands after two hours, they will have the urge to sigh. This is the feeling, and the rest is not important.
This feeling is brought to us by the serial tragedies of the male protagonist. There is one thing that always brings us seriousness, calmness and reflection, and that is the tragedy of others. We saw a young man who couldn't let go of his love, family, and friendship. In constant short-term reincarnation, he was overwhelmed and overwhelmed with pain. Perverted fathers, stumbled teenagers, anger, pain, abuse, violence, and death have been staged one after another. Until the last moment, the moment when everything is over, all possible results will be attributed to the first meeting in life, it is better to see each other than to see each other. So only you keep this piece of history that never happened, until you meet again many years later, she doesn't know you, but you are exhausted by fate, and you no longer have the confidence and courage to "recover" that love, In the end, it's still a tragedy.
I think this movie has unearthed the extravagant hope in our hearts: wishing to start all over again. But those who are accustomed to lamenting the injustice of fate have been hit: even if you are given the power to restore the sky, how much can you guarantee to restore? Destiny is always better than you, destiny can make you lose more, you can't control chaos, as long as you have memory, one day your lifeline will be in chaos, then you will repent: it would be much more if nothing changed Okay. So, even if there are many unsatisfactory places in our life, let's live it well. Perhaps this is what The Butterfly Effect is trying to say.
There is also a version of the movie that goes back to the fetus and cuts off the umbilical cord and commits suicide. I haven't seen it, but I prefer this one I see. The former is definitely more visually shocking, but the liberation is too negative, so the latter can better reflect the meaning of fate, and it should be able to make many people talk about "if life is..." and so on. When the male protagonist turned around and left alone, the unwilling but lingering fear, pain and helplessness perfectly ended the tone of the film. There is also a recognizing version, which girls should love to watch.
