The more times I travel, the more torment I suffer in my heart. In the end, I don’t know which time and space it came from, because every time and space is changing, but I have been seeking change, but I have never really integrated into every changing time and space. Go, too much uncertainty happens in the time and space that I have tried to change.
Time, place, chance, and death could not bring me to my knees, and my humblest desire was the least movement. —— Francis Quarles
Often the fantasy created by the name of the movie will disappear during the viewing process, so for some people who are sensitive to the title of the movie, a lot of curiosity and expectation before viewing the movie are subjective suspicions about the quality of the movie itself. Especially time-travel movies are easy to be criticized. Many people will talk about the plot structure during the viewing process. This is understandable in itself, but we must be clear that no movie script is perfect. What's more, time travel, the scientific theoretical basis of this itself is based on mathematical operations, how can we expect too much that the director can give a reasonable and perfect logic through a movie? In this issue, I choose three films, "The Butterfly Effect", "The Time Traveler's Wife" and "Time Traveler" as an off-screen exposition.
01-What exactly is a "movie"?
The essence of value output is not education, but feedback.
About whether human beings can travel through time and space, and how? Such questions, if we always entangle ourselves and bring them into science fiction films as the balance of reading a time-travel film, then we will never be able to see behind a science fiction film itself. There are many people who say that movies are an art, and watching movies is a kind of enjoyment. In fact, in my opinion, apart from box office and ideology, the movie is more of a preaching, and the movie itself is a missionary, whether it is a way of conveying their own values by the director and the original author, or a country, a Class, an ordinary person, through their own films, they let us see their hearts, and at the same time, through their films, they also let each of us see our own hearts and re-examine our own hearts. In my opinion, the essence of value output is not education, but feedback.
The expressions and summaries that movies can achieve is not that ordinary people can’t do it, but that we sometimes cannot express our inner precipitation or doubts in a precise language or in other ways. . . .
If we are inspired by watching a movie and applaud the movie, it is not how excellent the value output of the movie itself is, whether it is the expression at the technical level or the artistic level, it is not to change the way others read the value, the most fundamental thing is us Because of the feedback from the mental and emotional patterns that have been formed from birth to the present in the subconscious mind, when we find that a movie matches a certain feedback in our heart, we will be inspired, and we identify or partially identify with the film. What the film is trying to express, and the reason for partial identification is that people themselves cannot always fully identify with themselves, let alone someone else’s? A successful film is successful because the filmmaker's expression of his own heart has received feedback from most people. This is not so much the resonance of values, but the inspection of both sides of their hearts. The expression and summary that movies can do is not that ordinary people can’t do it, but that we sometimes cannot use a precise language or other ways to express our inner precipitation or doubts, maybe most people most of the time. I don’t know how many thoughts we have in our hearts that truly match our hearts and our attitudes and views on a thing. When others happen to say or do something, we are unconsciously awakened. This is a kind of feedback. , and the same goes for perceptions of movies.
Of course, what I'm talking about here is also the output of my own values. I'm not trying to gain the approval of others. It's just that if you don't say something, how can you bounce it back and feed it back to yourself? This is a process of expressing yourself. It is also a process of re-examining yourself.
02-Never expect sci-fi movies to match your cognitive "logic"!
Our cognition is shackled by centuries of industrial theories, while our imaginations still run wild.
So having said so much, I hope everyone will omit the cognition of "science fiction", especially "time travel" in the process of watching the movie, and don't expect too much from the director or the movie to give you a story about the phenomenon that is inconsistent with the known reality. Reasonable explanation. Einstein's theory of relativity says that when the speed of one thing exceeds the speed of light, the other thing will slow down or stagnate relatively. In other words, the object originally in the same space-time as you stagnates, but you disappear, and then you travel through. But we cannot stay on the basis of the theory of relativity forever, which is the basis of the existing space-time view, and our imagination has already surpassed the theory of relativity, but it cannot be explained by a principle. Our cognition is shackled by centuries of industrial theories, while our imaginations still run wild. So we might be thinking, what is time? Does time flow or stand still? What is space? Is space finite or infinite?Let's imagine: maybe time and space are just slideshows, how do you know, maybe the you of yesterday will operate in another time and space that is equal to the current you? Maybe tomorrow's you is also operating in the same time and space as you are now? When the time and space of yesterday's you and the current you reach a boundary, the you of yesterday becomes the current you. When the two time-spaces are separated again, the you of yesterday and his time-space still exist, but you are now The time and space of the present is being combined with the time and space of tomorrow to form a boundary, the present you becomes the you of tomorrow, and the present you and that time and space still exist. Your own space-time has infinitely equal space-times, like infinitely large gears that are interdependent. How do you know whether one, two or even several of them will be connected to each other? Then, maybe, now You will run to your cog in the future, and you will run into your cog in the past, and they too, is this considered crossing? It's just an imagination, if it's true, then we will never die, because only you in this time and space will die. Maybe it's the tomorrow's you who ran to your time and space today, making troubles and causing your death. When he returns to his own time and space, will he still be alive? Who said that the you of today and the you of tomorrow will inevitably have a life-and-death connection? The above conjectures about time and space are also based on my own knowledge, so some people will agree and some will oppose, but in fact, none of us know what the real time and space is like, and what time and space travel will be like Therefore, we can only imagine that even though some imaginations are almost far from reality, this does not prevent us from interpreting and exploring time and space. Movies with the theme of time travel are also, what reason do we have to laugh at other people's ideas and reverie? Maybe one day we will read our own diary and then cross, hide in a dark place, close our eyes, fold our hands tightly, and then we can also cross?
But if our evaluation of the time-travel movie is limited to the reasonableness of the time-space view embodied in the movie, then I am sure that the feedback of this movie to your heart is a failure.
03-Unlimited combinations to derive infinite possibilities
The more times I travel, the more torment I suffer in my heart. In the end, I don’t know which time and space it came from, because every time and space is changing, but I have been seeking change, but I have never really integrated into every changing time and space. Go, too much uncertainty happens in the time and space that I have tried to change...
The protagonists of the three films "Butterfly Effect", "Time Traveler's Wife" and "Time Traveler" all want to change the known present through time travel, hoping to make life better. Of course, "Time Traveler's Wife" " is a special case, the protagonist is forced to cross, cross without warning, and he is at different ages and at different time periods, and he can even go to the world after death and before death. Even if the three protagonists have different situations, the same thing is that it is difficult for them to change anything. In reality, they all question and confuse time and space, but when they truly have the ability to travel through time and space, they are even more confused as to which time and space they create and the life they create for themselves are in that time and space. What do you really need? The more times I travel, the more torment I suffer in my heart. In the end, I don't know which time and space it came from, because every time and space is changing, but I have been seeking change, but I have never really integrated into every changing time and space. Go, too much uncertainty occurs in the time and space that I have tried to change, as "Star Trek" said, "infinite combinations derive infinite possibilities". Maybe our original intention is to make the reality better, so we try to change the faulty past, but when the past is rewritten according to our own wishes, we are sure that there will be no regrets in the future life? If so, do we have to go back and change some things? Everyone has a lot of regrets in life more or less. The reason for regrets is because of the impact of past events on people and things in the present. If you don’t take yourself or others and things that have been affected seriously If so, there is no regret.
Regret is the painful imprint of objective reality on subjective will. This just reflects that what we care about is the people and things now, and everyone hopes to have a superpower, but when this ability affects the current self and the people and things around us, our expectations for this superpower are already Great discount.
04-Time, place, chance, and death can't make me succumb, my humblest desire is the least movement
One sentence pierced the bitterness and sadness in the heart of the transmigrator. In "Journey to the West", the Supreme Treasure traveled to five hundred years ago and slowly transformed. When he put on the golden hoop, he has become a man, which may also be forced by responsibility and reality. If things are not now In this way, he may still prefer to be a robber. He loves Bai Jingjing, Zixia loves him, and he also falls in love with Zixia unknowingly, but in the end Zixia also died in his arms,
My crush is an unparalleled hero, one day he will step on the seven-colored clouds to marry me, I only guessed the first, but I can't guess the ending...
In the end, Sun Wukong transformed into a sunset warrior. The warrior's beloved person looked at the back of the Sun Wukong on the tower and said, "That person is so strange. The warrior said, yes, he looks like a dog." This is probably Sun Wukong’s more accurate voice in the heart of the Supreme Treasure. Too many regrets and reluctance have all passed away at the moment when he put on the golden hoop, but he can only accept the pain and live as helpless as a dog. with passive. When he was wearing the gold hoop, he repeated the classic line again:
Once there was a sincere love in front of me, I didn't cherish it. When I lost it, I regretted it too much. The most painful thing in the world is this. If God can give me another chance, I will say three words to that girl: I love you. If I have to add a deadline to this love, I hope it is... 10,000 years!
The first time I said to Zixia that I deceived her, the second time I said it was not only about love, but also about reality and a kind of helplessness about my life. Every traveler has his own helplessness and bitterness, and will also leave new regrets, but a life without regrets has regrets.
When we say that movies are art, the premise is that we have a standard and judgment on the cognition of art itself. If there is no such premise of cognition, the movie is shit in other eyes. Of course, the premise is also because of our understanding of dogs. Shit itself has a cognition, and it will be used to demean the movie. Don't overuse the known cognitive framework to evaluate the quality of a movie, especially the time-travel movie. Who knows that maybe the cognitive framework we think will collapse one day in the future?
