for myself

He changed N times within the framework of a story, and it was not as he wanted it every time.

Is it too early for the witch to say that he does not exist in this world? He existed at that time, or maybe the witch's ability was to foresee the future.

He chose death, and I think it was worth it. He has more than 100 years of memory, which ordinary people do not have. If he uses his diary to go back to the past every time when he is old, and experience another lifetime, will he live forever? After all, all one can recall in old age are only memories. (At this point, I am even more afraid of death.) (But maybe he will only have enough memory in his head to store the memory of two lifetimes in his old age.)

He tells us that every major turning point choice creates a different With the same life, should we choose more carefully at major turning points?

Why didn't he make another change in one of his changes? That might change everything.

After he became disabled, Kelly betrayed him, Kelly didn't love her as much as he did, why should he still be obsessed with saving Kelly in the next change?

He can finally go back to birth, where he can persuade his mother to move in advance, the greatest harm reduction, isn't it?

Kelly and the others were abused, why should he be held responsible? She had the opportunity to choose. She chose him and was willing to stay to face her father. Who shouldn't be responsible for her choice? Please don't say that she was young at the time, and it wasn't her fault that she made the wrong choice. Be a little more sensible. Now that you know something is wrong, you should try your best to change the status quo, right?

Even if he is a man who brings misfortune to all, who can deprive him of his right to live? Of course, he chose to end it himself, and the screenwriter also ended him for the needs of the plot. Is it too ideal for the director to give him a world that does not exist? Or did the director think that people with supernatural powers should not exist in this world, so he wants to cut off the only lifeline? Perhaps the director also believes that no one can act as the son of God. The inmate who believed in God gave him a redemption, but the director who believed in God was unwilling to give it.

(I watched the director's version.)

    I finally watched this movie, and the sense of despair in it is still very strong. I also watched the endings of the three versions. Maybe the suicide version will be more dramatic. There is a little bit of chaos in the movie that I find very interesting, but it is more in line with the feeling of the whole movie, except that the male protagonist did not regret the fact that he killed his father. I think it is a bit strange. It seems like my father should die...

    Each of us dreams of changing the past to make the current state better, or wishing to live another life and become another person. This movie reflects this idea and the result if we do so. Evan kept changing his choices in the past, hoping to find a perfect future. But things backfired, often leading to a more tragic ending. Human beings once forgot their knowledge of themselves, thinking that they were God, and in the end they would still recognize the various limitations of nature, but it is this limitation that embodies the meaning of life, choice and effort. When we look back on the past, we will naturally regret our past mistakes, but it is these mistakes and these roads that have made our personality; it is these pains that make us feel unforgettable in life.
