My life has always been arranged by others. When I was a child, I was taught to study hard. I was ordered to choose a school that was not as good as I wanted in the college entrance examination. After graduation, I was assigned to work in a unit that I didn’t like very much. I don't know if my future life will be arranged like this, but I just thought it was really useless to live like this until I watched "The Butterfly Effect".
Ivan is also someone who is just as unhappy with life as I am, I just don't feel as miserable as he is. He tried to go back to the past and change the whole life by changing a certain life trajectory, but it backfired, and every change brought worse results. In the end, he had to make a helpless choice-disagree with the one who loves each other. people get acquainted. Such a choice requires too much courage. It is rare to meet true love once in life. If you give it up, you may never find it again, but it also brings a best ending. Everyone has lived happily ever after. But it's a normal day, I think, Ivan is helpless with a little gratification.
Many people have the idea of ​​trying to change their lives, and I am no exception. Sometimes, I can’t help but imagine that if I was rebellious in my youth and didn’t be a good boy, or if I filled out the college entrance examination voluntarily, I would be tough and let my own temperament fill in the report, or simply Not going to school, wandering the world from now on, being a wandering singer or a sailor... Will my life be much richer, not like this calm, boring repetition of the previous day's activities? The answer is yes, but the ending will definitely not be better than it is now. I may be a street gangster who is free and doing nothing at the same time; I may study in a major I like but look for a job like a headless fly; I may well travel the country or even It’s all over the world, but I can’t stand a hungry, full-fledged life, and I can’t physically afford to wander around all day... It’s not that I don’t have a chance to change, but my life will definitely be changed after the change. Is it bright and colorful? Reluctantly embarking on the road that others have paved for me should be the most suitable for me. Although I am not rich, I am not poor, and although the waves are not disturbed, it also saves the panic in the crisis. It’s just that I still have occasional small impulses deep in my heart. One day I try to be a person who is not the real me. The practice time should not be too long, but it will definitely satisfy my heart.
One night, a good friend called and told me about the distress of the phone. He said that he was going to give up his current life and to give up everything to live the life he wanted. I smiled to myself, are we really living our lives for ourselves? ? So I persuaded him: "You can live the life you yearn for during the holidays, and watch "The Butterfly Effect" by the way, and you will get the answer."
I decided to recommend this film to more people.

    [A-] Changes over and over again often only lead to worse outcomes. We are not God and cannot know all of this. If you want to reshape the future of you and me, maybe, you should go back to the origin of life and use the cruelest way in exchange for your best life.

    Ten years later, I watched this movie with the girl again and I really understood it. The most critical point in the plot is actually the relationship between the hero and his dad. In the whole film, the male protagonist modifies the timeline to save the people around him, so why does his dad modify the timeline? The answer is at the end. Because the male protagonist’s stillbirth will definitely lead to fucking depression, smoking, and lung cancer. So his dad would go back to before his birth over and over again in order to save his mother, to revise the ending. But this will lead to a result: as long as the male protagonist is born, he will definitely encounter everything afterwards, and he will definitely modify the timeline like his father, and the final outcome must be that he strangles himself again-and this ending It will be revised again by his dad, and the cycle goes back and forth. Therefore, there is only one way to end this cycle: his dad no longer revises his stillborn ending and accepts this fact. Because he understood: the death of this son is inevitable, and any effort is useless, it will bring everything back to the original point. That's why the male lead father would say: You can't be God, child. This sentence is the title of the movie.
