No matter what the timeline of this movie is, whether the protagonist is the same person, and whether there are any obvious bugs. I don't care about any of this because there are many powers who have thoroughly analyzed it.

I just want to talk about a question, a joke in the movie: which came first, the chicken or the egg?

The answer is undoubtedly the movie has given a positive answer: the rooster.

I have to mention a setting in many movies and novels: there can only be one you in the same time and space.
In other words, if you are in the present, you will not see the future you. Because there can only be one you in this world, just like the king does not see the king, if there are two you, one must be killed.
But not here, it is certain that there may be multiple you in the same time and space (such as horror cruise ships), I can't say that the setting is good, I can only say that the structure of multiple you is better for storytelling, and there is only one of you. , a very test of the ability of the screenwriter.

That's a digression, back to the rooster argument.

Why should there be a rooster in the first place? It is necessary for the rooster to have this fertility (which is very clearly depicted in the movie) in order for the hen to become pregnant, so that the egg can be produced.

With eggs, hens hatch, which then become roosters.

Well, this movie is probably about a story about a rooster, a hen and an egg.

    It reminds me of the most mysterious high priest in the Bible, Melchizedek. The Bible says that he: "No father, no mother, no genealogy, no beginning of life, no end of life." Some people say that he is Jesus who traveled to ancient times. Isn't John such a person? There may be such a ring-shaped life spanning time and space in the universe. Who can deny it?

    Based on Robert Heinlein's great science fiction short story You Revived. At present, the only version that can be read is translated by a guy who doesn't understand neither science fiction nor translation. He tried to cover up his lack of ability with all the funny language on the Internet, and the result was that the movie was ruined. Wait until there is a reliable translation version to add this star.
