If we knew the end, would we still love each other?

I once wrote a fanfic for a novel with a sad ending. In my novel, the protagonist sees the future in a coma. The novel comes to an abrupt end when the protagonist wakes up, but what I have been unable to let go of is how the fate of the characters in the story will develop next?
Can you escape ascension by foreseeing the future? Even if it is foreseen, will it still go on the original route? Or, from the moment when the future is foreseen, space-time has branched?
In fact, both futures could happen, and neither did. The protagonist of the intersection of time and space is like the cat in Schrödinger's box, which is both alive and dead until the box is opened.

"The Nameless" is a work that is more formal than narrative. The story told in the movie has unclear cause and effect, and the thread is unclear, which has been criticized by many people. But for such an imaginative and philosophical piece of work, most people seem to be more than willing to forgive it for all its flaws. If you watch this film seriously, you will find that the film is full of fragmented narratives that reverse the reasons from the results, which makes this film like a "rolling curtain" mystery, turning over and over again.
The romantic and fantasy style of the romantic art film does not weaken the significance of the film's exploration of the unidirectionality of time. The director has chosen the theme of "love" that is most receptive to the audience, and this theme also paints a warm color for this sometimes esoteric film.

Will the butterfly effect brought about by our every choice make the arrow of our destiny deviated by tens of thousands of light-years? If a tossed coin was deflected by a micron under the influence of air currents, I'd probably die a different way in a few decades. With every beat of my heart, the possibilities of my destiny branch into countless branches. This tree of life produces countless leaves and fruits every second. But I can only taste very few of them.
However, among these countless possibilities, why did I choose to fall in love with you?
Maybe, maybe, in some possible moments, some of the possible variables are slightly wrong, and we will not love each other.
However, at this moment, at this moment, we are already in love.
Would we still love each other if we knew the ending in advance? Yes, we will, because we have no other way.

All those "maybe" meteors that have passed us by, but in the end just passed by. Fate gives us a way, not we choose it, but it chooses us.
Maybe time doesn't exist, but the "I at this moment" exists, it exists because it exists. I can't deny it because I can't grab my hair and pull myself off the ground.
At this moment, I really understood the beauty of a sentence:
meeting the person you want to meet among thousands of people, in thousands of years, in the boundless wilderness of time, there is no one step earlier or one step later. Just happened to catch up, there is nothing else to say, only to ask softly: "Oh, are you here too?"

    Parallel universes, the butterfly effect, the bifurcation of time, lead to six possible lives, but none of them is a perfect life. In the predicted life, it exists under the premise of a hypothesis, not the reality, and all life is nothing. Fortunately, the 118-year-old at the end of the movie helped 9-year-old Nemo find the most perfect life. And those lives without love are hypothetical lives that shouldn't be experienced.

    For a man, falling in love can be miserable, being loved can be inspirational, and wrong love can be a disaster.

Mr. Nobody quotes

  • Nemo Nobody adult: [to/about Elise] I often have this dream. In prehistoric times, I can hear you screaming. I chase the bear and you're not afraid anymore, but when I wake up, there's no bear... but you're still afraid. And I'm not a bear hunter. I'm an executive at a plant that manifactures photocopying machines that just quit his job. I don't dare to move, I don't live, whatever I do is a disaster. I would love to set out to chase the bear away and for you to not be afraid anymore.

  • Young journalist: Did Elise die or didn't she? I don't get it. You can't have had children and not have them.
