I didn't expect that the novel that was thought to be a joke back then was turned into a movie--

One day in 1945, a mysterious baby girl appeared in Clifford's orphanage, and no one knew who her parents were. She grew up alone, without anyone to associate with her.

The movie is not much different from the novel, except for the ending of killing himself at the end.
When I saw the above paragraph many years ago, I always thought it was a joke written by science fiction fans to explain the grandfather paradox and the problem of eggs and chickens. . . . I didn't expect it to be made into a movie in the end. ~~~~~~
In addition, I want to say that at the beginning, I was only "oh" about this story~ Because even if I had sex with myself and then had a child, the genetic pairing was still random. According to quantum theory, it is not necessarily Every time I was born, it happened to be "this me". This story erases the diversity of events.
So maybe you can look at it this way: all the plots and content in the story are more like a program that has fallen into an infinite loop under the programmer's hands--
