Only me can change

Evan has the ability to reorganize the brain to alter reality by returning to memories of events. The human imagination seems to say this: the multiplicity of time and space determines that there is me everywhere, and we are all over it.
Every time he goes back to the past, he wants to change a certain behavior at that time, to change the choice of himself or others, so as to prevent the tragedy from happening. And the moment of each choice will correspond to different results, just like the uncertainty of Schrodinger's cat. And this time and space can only show one result, the other results are of course jumping at high levels. (Who knows if those places are right next to us) It seems like I'm all over the place, but I can only show one. Where is the real me? (Some people mentioned that all this was just an illusion of a little boy. In the end, he chose to end in his mother's womb, leaving everything indifferent to the beginning. Maybe it was a disillusionment, isn't it the same for the world, all kinds of upside down, false vision of life and death ,, nonsense...
Evan can go back to the past and change a certain link, but he can't make everything develop in the direction he thinks. Because it is still the same person, the character, the environment, these have not changed, Their choices will still point to the same result. The only person who can change and make choices is myself, only the human heart. Therefore
, I am only in the moment, only in the place where my heart is.

The Butterfly Effect quotes

  • Evan: Are you walking home? Can I walk you?

    Kayleigh Miller: What do you want to know, Evan?

    Evan: Is... Did he... What happened in the basement?

    Kayleigh Miller: Look, it was a long time ago. Is that why you came all the way back here? To ask a lot of stupid questions about "Robin Hood"?

    Evan: No, I... I just think something really bad might've happened.

    Kayleigh Miller: Is there a point to any of this?

    Evan: Look... whatever happened, it wasn't our fault, we were kids. I mean, there is nothing that we could do to have deserved or could've done...

    Kayleigh Miller: Just shut up, Evan, you're wasting your breath.

    Evan: You can't hate yourself because your dad's a twisted freak.

    Kayleigh Miller: Who are you trying to convince, Evan? You come all the way back here to stir up my shit just because you have a bad memory? What? Do you want me to just cry on your shoulder and tell you everything's all better now? Well fuck you, Evan. Nothing's all better, okay? Nothing ever gets better. You know, if I was so wonderful Evan, why didn't you call me? Why did you just leave me here to rot?
