I don’t know if you remember, many years ago, there was a popular story: One day in 1945, a mysterious baby girl appeared in an orphanage, and no one knew who her parents were. Until one day in 1963, she fell in love with a homeless man. But the good times didn't last long. First of all, when she found out that she was pregnant with a homeless child, the homeless suddenly disappeared. Secondly, when she gave birth in the hospital, the doctor found out that she was an intersex person. In order to save her life, the hospital performed sex reassignment surgery on her, and she became him. The most unfortunate thing is that the little girl she just gave birth was kidnapped by a mysterious person again. This series of blows made him stunned from then on, and finally ended up on the street and became a homeless tramp. Until one day in 1978, he walked into a small bar and told an older barman about his misfortune. The bar guy sympathizes with him and offers to help him find the homeless man who made him pregnant and missing, but on the condition that he joins the time travel special forces formed by their bar guys. So, they entered the "time car" together. Speeding back to 1963, the dude let the tramp out. A homeless man inexplicably falls in love with a girl who grew up in an orphanage and impregnates her. The guy traveled back 9 months on the "speed train", went to the hospital and snatched the newly born baby girl, and took the baby girl back to 1945 with the time speed car. Quietly put her in an orphanage. They then brought the confused bum back to 1985 and had him join their time-traveling special forces. After the homeless got a formal job, his life got on the right track, and gradually he got a pretty good status in the special forces. Once, in order to complete a special mission, his superiors sent him to fly back to 1970, disguised as a barman to pull a homeless man to join their special forces.
After reading this story back then, I always thought it was just a joke on the Internet, but now I know that it was originally the plot of a few thousand-word mini-fiction, and now it has been made into a movie.
The movie is basically the same as the original, except that the plot of catching terrorists is added. Of course, the terrorists are also the same person...Everything is in a circle, yes, the greedy snake finally bit its own tail...
