Reincarnation

Each of us dreams of changing the past to make the current state better, or wishing to live another life and become another person. This movie reflects this idea and the result if we do so. Evan kept changing his choices in the past, hoping to find a perfect future. But things backfired, often leading to a more tragic ending. Human beings once forgot their knowledge of themselves, thinking that they were God, and in the end they would still recognize the various limitations of nature, but it is this limitation that embodies the meaning of life, choice and effort. When we look back on the past, we will naturally regret our past mistakes, but it is these mistakes and these roads that have made our personality; it is these pains that make us feel unforgettable in life.

    Finally, "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" remembered that sadness finally found its way out. The passing by may be the best answer, but the past, present and future still cannot be changed. Oasis's song is absolutely amazing! ★★★★

    The idea is very good. The film tells us not to let go of our past, and we can't let it go. Life is often changed by small things.
