Predestination (2014)

I just watched Looper last night, and I can't help but think of the Predestination I've seen before. The two movies are both about time travel. Each has its own bright spots. Let's put them together for comparison.

Predestination tells the life of a time agent. I originally planned to write down the details of the story, but I was afraid that people would think I was insane, so let's go and see for yourself. The protagonist of the movie has a very complex but very special setting. I didn't expect the story to develop like this. It is more suitable to use "one man game" to describe this story. It's a pity that the rhythm of the movie is too slow, and it feels like such a good script was wasted. I see that other movie reviews have high marks. I don't know if I am the only one who thinks so.

If you want to understand the life of the protagonist, you need to watch the entire movie. The plot is arranged in chaos and order, and the experiences of the protagonist in different periods appear interspersed, which consumes a lot of brain cells. Another highlight for me was the filming at the University of Melbourne, which felt so intimate, and at a glance it was an Australian film.

The first thought after watching Predestination is that the protagonist has a set tragic life, an infinite loop, just because he wants him to be a time agent? Just like a god joke.

To be honest, the points given are all for the movie script.
