already predestined

"JACKET" and "The Butterfly Effect" both changed the future.
"Butterfly Effect" focuses more on expressing the helplessness and uncontrollability of fate. And "JACKET" expresses that fate is already doomed. In the ending part, the protagonist slips and falls to his death after delivering the letter. This is fate. It is indeed necessary for him to change a future. If he does not deliver the letter, he may not die in 1993. But the script has already been written, and everyone just acts according to the script. It's just that the future he finally changed in 1993 was not the future he had been to before. That is to say, there are multiple futures, which are parallel universe views. In the dark, the protagonist shuttles back and forth in space according to the arrangement of fate, thinking that he has helped the cute little girl. But she didn't know that in another dimension, she, who had a hard life, was still waiting for his return.
Everything is God's will.

    The story is not bad: the transition from dream to reality, mutual nesting, mutual influence but independence; but there are too many scattered and useless small fragments, and the overall image style and editing methods presented are a bit too much.

  • Rudy Mackenzie: I'm in here, because they say I have a nervous condition. Well, well here's my question: Who wouldn't be nervous if they really, really looked at their lives? I mean, whose life is that good?
