Inaction, courage to take responsibility, no one is God

This movie once again confirms the ridiculousness of chasing after our parents when we were children and asking whether the characters in the villain book are good or bad. Just like when you watch the International College Debate, what he said was good, and what he said was reasonable. It seemed that they were all right, but they were so arrogant that they blushed and had a thick neck.
There is a type of sci-fi film that says that humans take a time machine to go back to the past. Before going, scientists will definitely tell you that no matter what, don’t do anything that will affect the development of history, because any unintentional act of yours will make the present. world has changed dramatically. In the end of the story, no matter whether the protagonists make such actions unintentionally or intentionally, they will eventually cancel each other out by accident, so that when they return to their own time and space, they will not find that their father has changed.
No one is God, you have no right to decide the fate of others, Patrick's final decision is nothing more than the victory of reason over emotion. The child has the right to be with the mother, the foster parents who make you well-fed and the biological mother who may ignore you can only choose between the two, which will you choose. Everyone can see who can make their children live better, but no one has the right to make decisions for others. Like a pauper you love and a millionaire who loves you, how would you choose. Well, I know most people will choose the latter now.
After talking about reason, let's talk about emotions, Lionel, Jack and Remy all love children, including Angie. If I had to find one person here who didn't love children, it was Patrick, because he was the only one who made a sensible decision. We often say that the authorities are obsessed, and the bystanders are clear. When something happens to someone else and it happens to oneself, people tend to react very differently. You are not emotional, there are only two reasons, one you are a saint, two you have nothing to do with this matter.
Patrick's logic is that he doesn't want to take on the guilt of changing someone else's fate. My decision will change a child's life in the future. Whether she accepts this change, obviously she can't give an answer now, but one day she will come back and say to me that your original decision was not what I wanted, and it will disturb my conscience. . But if I make the sensible choice to send you back to where you came from, and you still live the life you used to, then I haven't changed anything, and my conscience will be better.
Patrick is still young, he thinks the world has its own rules, and he wants to uphold those rules, and the experience of Jack and Remy let them know what the world really looks like, so they would give up their careers and pensions for a child, even gave up life. They want better things for their kids, even if you would blame me. Such determination would not be possible without love.
In the end, Amanda watched TV with the doll in her arms, and the shot felt long, long enough to shake a determined heart.
Life is a one-way street. When you meet a fork in the road, you can only choose one. You are destined to not see the scenery of the other road, so you cannot tell which one is better. All you have to do is choose and keep going without looking back.
