deja vu

The amount of information is very dense, and when you think about it, it is almost a perfect interpretation of the worldview setting of the spatiotemporal branch theory. Some small bugs made in order to promote the plot and artistic appeal, such as the laser pointer on the screen affect the past in real time (actually need a time teleportation device?), which is harmless.

The plot hints are very, very sufficient, making the whole movie coherent and not abrupt. The first half obviously implies that there is a recording of the phone call, youcansaveher, many fingerprints left by the female lead's house, suggesting that the male lead was involved in this matter. This leads to the time machine and the inevitable time travel that follows. In the second half, there are many scenes of bombed ambulances, medical cotton contaminated with blood, cats that don't like strangers, etc. to echo the non-obvious hints.

Different from the linear space-time (butterfly effect) with a strong destiny, and also different from the infinitely possible circular space-time (Twelve Monkeys), the branched space-time (the theory in the movie is divergent universe theory) is like a Mississippi River, changing the river The flow of the game is difficult, time is limited, you can only observe or change the past four and a half days, and at the same time, there are scope limitations and energy limitations (originally, a piece of paper was sent, and the male protagonist opened the whole person and went back, but still no equipment)

The male protagonist tried his best to race against time. Before he realized that he had failed to change the flow of the river, he used a refrigerator sticker to spell out U CAN SAVE HER. This is what the male protagonist will do for the first time and every time he travels back to the past It means that the male protagonist will make the decision to save people without hesitation every time. And when the male protagonist looks at the bloody cotton ball in the trash can and realizes that something is wrong, "I haven't changed a thing", that's the best part of the movie - he's not only involved in this, he's still changing This matter, and until there is a good ending, his kind and fearless nature will force him in every branch universe to return to the past with a mortal determination to save the heroine and a boat of Ma Run. And it's this righteous character that justifies the Hollywood-style perfection because it's a necessity.

In addition, I thought of a very interesting follow-up. Although in the final world line, the body of the male protagonist who returned to the past was not found, but with the investigation of the attempted terrorist attack on the ship, the female protagonist's confession and the male protagonist were left in the female protagonist. Bloodstains in the home might catch Snow White's attention. As long as people like the male protagonist can be recruited into the project team five days before the violent terrorist incident, the American Emperor will no longer have to worry about killing many people at once! (Except for the new crown)
