Start spoilers. The chicken-and-egg and fatalism, there have been a lot of films discussing these two themes, but this film combines the two to tell a wonderful and wonderful story through time travel, which is quite innovative: Send yourself to the orphanage, take yourself back to the past to fall in love with yourself, give birth to yourself, save your past self, and kill your future self. Okay, I'm about to get dizzy.
So far, most of the fatalism-themed time-travel films are about someone who travels to the past and tries to change his fate for love, humanity, etc., but finds that he is always a puppet of fate, and the more he struggles, the less he can get rid of his fate. And this film, from the beginning, set the tone: some things are bound to happen, and what happened cannot be changed. The people in the time bureau understand, and the protagonist also understands, so the time bureau took great pains to train the protagonist and bring the protagonist into the time bureau to become an agent. A constant that lets what has already happened happen. At the end of the film, when he pointed a gun at his future self, it was an easy opportunity to change his destiny, and when he pulled the trigger, he declared that he would follow the fate of the future and become a flash bomber. Years later, his life will also be affected by his past self. It ended, but he did not hesitate, pulled the trigger resolutely, and fired three shots in a row. Even from the perspective of the future protagonist, when he faced the end of his life many years later, he did not escape, and did not reveal the slightest regret. No wonder, the time bureau's selection criteria for agents are so strict.
How many people can be so resilient in the face of so many opportunities to change their tragic past? How many people are so resolute in the face of so many opportunities to change their tragic future?
PS: It is said that the protagonist is like Leonardo, but why do I feel like Zhao Wei!
